 A glance at the weather map of yes- terday morning, however, dispelled- this hope, as another high bank of cold air was then piled up over the Middle West, giving temperatures way down below zero again over that region, while the overflow of cold air was also giving some, what colder over the central districts.

Madrid, Feb. 14.--As was anticipated.
the funeral of Don Ramon De Campo
amor was attended with serious dis
turbances. The weather was beautiful.
and enormous crowds gathered along
the route taken by the funeral cor
tege, which included the members OF
the academy and the ministers of JUS
tice and public instruction. Gendarmes
and mounted guards were stationed at
strategic points. Considerable disor-
der marked the progress Of the pro-
cession, but the troops. who were In
readiness, prevented any very formid-
able outbreak until the end of the CITY
was reached. At that point. however,
the demonstrators, who included many
students, raised the cry. Long liye lib
erty, and, having broken uD into small
parties, proceeded to various parts of
Madrid to renew the demonstration.
one band of students. began to stone a
convent on Toriia street, and the po-
lice were compelled to charge them.
In the evening fresh riots took place
at several points. The gendarmes
charged with drawn swords, and q
number were wounded or bruised.
These were carried into the pharmacies
and cafes. The demonstrators replied
to the charges Of the gendarmes with
showers of stones.
In the Rue Mentera some serious
stone throwing occurred. Flower pots
and other missiles we're thrown from
the balconies at policemen, several Of
whom were injured. One boy is said
to have been killed. The police were
obliged to call mounted gendarmes.

Altogether some 80 arrests We're

The authorities have warned the
newspapers that they must abstain
from criticisms of acts of the royal
family or the publication of news or
comments calculated to fan the present
agitation.
During the afternoon the ministers
held an important council. The evil
dent intention to deal severely with Of
tenders against public order seems to
be having a most salutary effect. The
strong aggressive methods Of the civil
guards early in the evening resulted in
quiet during the latter part of it, and
Madrid, just before midnight. was
calm, the guards having been almost
entirely withdrawn.
