 simple ceremony, and was witnessed by only the members of the royal family, the court officials, the ministry, the Count of Caserta and his family and

 in the queen regents reception room, in
 which had been placed a table contain
 ing writing materials. The regent en-
 tered escorted by court attendants and
 followed by the Infantas Isabella, Flu
 lalia and Maria Teresa, the princesses
 of the Asturias, Prince Charles of Bour-
 bon, the count and countess of Caserta and their three daughters, the Duke and
 Duchess of Calabria, PrinceGennaro,
 younger brother of the Count of Caser-
 ta, the suite of the Count of Caserta,
 consisting of Prince Bella Rocca and
 Marquis Imperiale, all the members of the cabinet and Generals Weyler, Ech- ague, Bernal and Azur, chosen as wit nesses for the bridegroom.
 When all had arrived Marquis de Villo, the minister of justice, acting as a notary public for the government, read the document and announced the only formality to be that of signing it. The Princess of the Asturias first sign ed, using her full legal name. Prince Charles of Bourbon followed, and then the queen regent, the members of the cabinet and the generals who witnessed the instrument on behalf of the prince. When all the signatures had been ap- pended the minister of Justice placed his seal upon the document and the cer- emony was ended. The document will be published tomorrow in the Official Gazette.
 This afternoon about eight hundred students led by woman and bearing French and Spanish flags, assembled In the Puerta del Sol and started cries for the army and against the Jesuits and the Count of Caserta. They were quick ly dispersed, but continued reassem- bling in various parts of the city.
 The afternoon was one of continual though without serious incident, owing to the vigilance of the police. In fact, throughout the entire day civil guards mounted and on foot, were everywhere visible, dispensing crowds wherever found. Their assem- blages were largely composed of youths and street idlers, but behind them are agitators and the sentiment of the peo- pie.
 This evening two hundred mounted civil guards are parading the Puerta del Sol with drawn swords, preventing any collection of people. All the avenues guarded.
 There can be no doubt that the feel | ng of the populace is deep-rooted, need ng only successful leader to encour- age the people to menacing deeds
 Owing to their attitude the torclllight | scheduled for this evening vas abandoned, the authorities fearing | hat the slightest opportunity for a | dash might lead to serious results. An Illumination might cause hail of | stones, which might excite the guards Q some act of revenge. The populace Ire being given looser rein than in ordinary circumstances because of the lesire of the queen regent to avoid any meeting between the people and the au- horities which could lead to bloodshed 'n the day of the wedding.
