| large crowd is still parading the Puerta
del Sol, crying Long live Spain, long
live the army"
The civil governor of Madrid is
among them, promenading up and
down, and begging them to dispense
peacefully.
The crowd, relying on the kind
| heartdness of the governor, whom the
population of Madrid adores, refuses
TO disperse, and is bent on visiting the
military club to make a demonstration
! of sympathy. The authorities pro-
hibit the formation OF groups in front
| of the military club, the presidency or
the American legation. General
Castelvi was offered at the military
| club, a banner to head the demon
stration, but he refused, alleging that
| the crowd was composed of the dregs
of the city. Several of the ring-leaders
| have been arrested, the civil governor
| threatening to call out the civic guards
| if the crowd does not disperse.
| THE CROWD INCREASING.
Bulletin:
Madrid, April 10, &c p. m.)-The
Puerta del Sol is now densely packed.
A large body of police is drawn up
near the Hotel de Paris where the
civil governor of Madrid is dining.
| Occasionally the cry "Vive Espana"
| is raised and re-echoed by a thousand
voices. The correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press saw one arrest. A re-
spectacle looking individual was
brought to the hotel doorway where
he asked to be loosed from physical
custody promising to accompany the
| police quietly. Senior Augillera, the
| civil governor resumed his interrupt
| ed dinner. But fresh cries arose and
| the burly good-tempered governor
rushed into the thickest of the mob
| brandishing a stick
BUT HITTING NOBODY.
| Senior Aguilera is a man Of gigantic
| proportions and the best loved indi-
vidlla in Madrid. The manifestents
scuttled in all directions before his
| shillelagh, producing a comic effect
and reducing the disturbance to its
| true proportions. The police are act
| ing admirably and the military are
| kept in reserve at the barracks in
| case of an emergency. Should there
| be more beneath the surface than ap-
pears. praise is due for the precau-
| lions taken.
| 11:10 p. Recommendations con-
tinue in favor of the army and against
| the government. The demonstrators
| have visited the military club and the
| offices of the liberal newspapers.
There have been numerous arrests
| and many of the demonstrators have
| been injured.
| LONDON NEWSPAPER REPORTS.
London, April 10.-The special dis
| patches to the morning papers from
| Madrid to-day give for the most part
| a bare recital of the armistice nego-
| tiatcns The Madrid correspondent OF
| the Daily Telegraph, telegraphing Sun
| day and dealing with the sensation
caused by the armistice announcement,
says:
"At first nobody believed the rumor
probable. because the government had
emphatically declared that this step
would be incompatible with the honor
! of Spain. When, finally the report
was confirmed, all Madrid displayed
| sentiments of dissatisfaction and ex
element. Newspapers were sold, read
and discussed all night The principal
cafes were crowded with groups of po-
| liticians and the policy CT the cabinet
| was condemned in vigorous terms.
''The garrison was wisely confined TO
| the barracks, the indignation in mill
tary circles being expressed in way
| WHICH BODIES NO GOOD
| to the present Spanish cabinet. All
the independent press organs, even
! those inclining to the liberal party,
| condemn the governments action as
! derogatory to Spanish honor and cal
| culated to bring about irreparable dis
aster. not to the cabinet alone, which
! has risked its future on the success or
! failure of submission to the European
powers. Other and greater interests
have jeopardized them"
| The Daily Telegraph's correspondent,
after quoting from Ell impartial. FL
Pals. and other papers to illustrate
this feeling, says;
Another article assures General
VIEWER who will shortly return TO
Madrid, that he is not alone in defend
ing the honor sovereignty and integ-
rity Of the fatherland and that he can
