leaders have been arrested, the civil gov-

scarf of the national colors. The crowd inn
mediately raised cries of viva Espana,
viva Cuba and for the moment the sit
uation looked dangerous, should any one
have raised a seditous cry. None doing
so, the crowd dissolved and the locality
soon resumed its ordinary appearance. The
officer against whom the demonstration was
made was General Castelvi. Bourbon pre-

up near the Hotel de Paris, where the civil
governor of Madrid is dining. Occasionally

Senior Aguilere the civil governor, resumed
his interrupted dinner. But fresh cries
arose, and the burly, good-tempered gov

brandishing stick but hitting nobody.
Senior Aguerila is a man of gigantic pro-
portions and the best loved individual in
Madrid. The manifestents scuttled in ali
directions before his -shillalah, 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 emer-
gency. Should there be more beneath the
surface than appears, praise is due for the
precautions taken.
m.-Demonstrations continued in favor of
the army and against the government. The
monstrators have visited the Military
Club and the offices of the liberal news
papers. There have been numerous ar
rests and many of the demonstrators have
been injured.
Midnight-The crowd has dispersed, and
at this hour only small groups OF stragglers
remain in the streets The vicinity of Gen.
Woedfords s residence and the United States
legation has been deserted until now.
