From the London Telegraph.
Almost before Spain has had time to
recover breath and to staupch the wounds
inflicted on her by the late war she has
been torn by domestic strife. An ancient
city, once the capital of Spain, and I'M

dents of its university and the cadets of
its military academy. For the daughter

cadet and the Tilted lover, meeting his
rival in the street, high words ana ulu-
mately hard blows passed between them.

cadet. His comrades declared that the
fight had not been a fair one, and made
SO hostile a demons tration under the WIN
dows of the victor that the civil authOri-
lies and the police had to interfere.
Not, however, till they had received di-
rect orders from the military governor
at Naladolid did the cadets withdraw,
leaving behind them. even then, a chat
