INCIPIENT RIOTING
MADRID, April TO- 1910 p. m.-The Pu-
erta de Sol is now densely packed. A large
body of police Is drawn up near the hotel
de Paris, where Senior Aguiera, civil g6v-
ernor of Madrid, is dining. Occasionally
the cry of "Viva Espana" is raised and re-
echoed by a thousand voices. The corre-
spondent of the Ase ociated Press saw one
arrest. The mob became turbulent, ard
the burly, good-tempered governor rushed
into the thickest of the crowd, brandish!ng
a stick but hitting nobody.
Senior Aguilera is a man Of gigantic pro-
portions and the best-loved individual in
Madrid. The manifestants scuttled in al
directions before his shillelah, producing
a comic effect and reducing the disturbance
to it's true proportions. The police are
acting admirably and the military are kept
n reserve at the barracks in case of emerg-
ency. Should there be more beneath the
surface than appears, praise is due for
the precautions taken.
1890 p. ma large crowd Is still parad-
ing the Puerta del Sol crying Long Live
SPAIN" and Long Live the Army" The
civil governor of Madrid is among them,
promenadiug up and down and begging
them to disperse peaceabiy.

edness of the governor, refuses to disperse
and is bent on visiting the military club to
make demonstration of sympathy. The

Castelvi was offered at the military club
banner to head the demonstration but he
refused, alleging that the crowd was COM
posed of the dregs of the city. Several Of
the ringleadecs have been arrested, the
civil governor threatening to call out the
civil guards If the crowd does not disperse.
Nine fifty p.m.-The officer against whom
the demonstration was made was Gen.
Castelvi, Bourbon pretender to the throne
of France; he was recognized and cheered.
The demonstration occurred in front of
the residency, and the civil governor went
in among the crowd, exerting his personal
influence, rather than his authority, to per-
suade them to disperse.
Dispatches from Manila say that the
insurgents captured Ceba, but We're eX-
PEELED later by the Spanish garrison with
an insurgent loss of 800. The Spanish losses
are described as insignificant.
FL Globo (LiberaD stoutly defends the
policy of the government in granting an
armistice for the sake of peace and to
avoid rupture with the United States.
The paper considers the measure in no
wise dsparaging to the military prestige

PROOF OF PRUDENCE
PARIS, April 10. - The Temps says
Spain has given fresh proofs of her pru-
dence and wise patriotism, and henceforth
diplomacy must guard her honor and in
terests. The United States will shock the
conscience of the world if it fails to re-
spond to Spanish advances
The Journal des Debats says: "If the
jngoes continue their campaign it will
prove that under the preteXt of humanity
they have only pursued their own aims
and sought the exploitation of Cuba"
