Il FORGIVE ASSASSIN"
Sonora CanOVaS' Words at Husbands
Funeral.
A PECULIARLY TOUCHING AND
SOLEMN CEREMONY.
Roadway Between Death Chamber and
Church 'Strewn With Flowers Entire
Distance-Cortege Headed by Senior

Distance-Cortege Headed by Senior
sagasta.
| Madrid, August 13.-The funeral of
Senior Canovas Del Castillo, today, was a
most touching and solemn ceremony. All
the troops of the garrison lined the route
were lowered and the public buildings,
embassies, consulates and clubs were
heavily draped with Grape.
More than thousand wreaths were
deposited in the death chamber. A salvo
of artillery announced the starting of the
funeral procession.
A peculiarly poignant scene ensued as
the Duke of Sotomayor, Marshal Martinez
Campos, Marquis Pazo del La Merrzed
and the other pail bearers lifted the coffin
Sonora Canoyas, in a clear, firm tone,
said:
''I desire that all should know forgive
the assassin. 1t is the greatest sacrifice
I can make but l make it for the sake of
what know Of my husbands great
heart "
Throughout the entire distance between
the death chamber and the church the
road way was strewn with flowers and
laurels.
Senior Sagasta headed the cortege, which
was formed of militia, deputies, senators,
generals, admirals and delegations repre-
senting all the principal public bodies.
The wreath of the Queen Regent rested
upon the coffin and other floral tributes
were carried in special carriages.
All the shops in the city were closed
and very large proportion of the popu-
lace that thronged the streets appeared in
mourning garb. The entire garrison
marched past the coffin and the service
lasted from four until 7.30 p. m.
| The remains of Senior Canoyas were in
TERED in the family vault in the St.
Isidor cemetery, amid Salvos of artillery
and the tolling Of all the bells Of the city.
Requiem Mass for Soul of Canovas.
London, August ia requiem mass
| for the repose of the soul of the late
Prime Minister of Spain. Senior Canoyas
del Castillo, was celebrated this morn
ing in the Spanish church. The altar was
draped with black and in the center of
the main aisle was catafalque covered
with pail of purple velvet with large
gold cross. There were many people pres.
ent at the service, including the Spanish
am bassador, Count Casa Valencia, and
his staff, all in full uniform, and the
United States ambassador, John Hay
Hatzfeldt- Widen burg; the Italian am
bassador, General Ferrero, most of the
ministers, Mr.. Henry W. White, secretary
of the United States embassy, Lord
Glenesk, proprietor of the Morning Post,
and many ladies.

more dangerous, as may be seen in
the many riots and risings OF the mob

were infested with pickpockets ans
