Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
MADRID, July 27.-It Is learned that King
Alfonso's visit to the Grotto of Our Lady
Of Lourdes yesterday was made without
the knowledge OF his encourage. His
Majesty, In his automobile, left San Sebas-
tan, where the court is spending the sum
mer, without informing the dignitaries.
After he had been gone some time his
sudden disappearance alarmed the Minis
ters, who telephoned to the police at various
places asking II the King had been there.
Nobody had seen His Majesty. and the I'M
easiness increased. Eventually 1t was as
certained that an automobile supposed to
be the Kings had passed through Pam
peluna, twenty miles from the French
frontier, at full speed. The machine was
going so fast that its occupants were not
recognized. Finally 1t was learned that
the King had reached Tarbes, whence he
had gone to Lourdes.
There he had devoutly joined the pilgrims
to the Grotto without revealing his iden-
tity. and waited In line to receive a cup
Of water from the miraculous spring.
His Majesty prayed before the Grotto.
1t seems that he was recognized by some
one, who told Of the presence Of the King OF
Spain. The story quickly spread and as
his Majesty was walking from the Grotto
to the Basilica to attend mass, he was mobbed
by sufferers, who begged him to pray for
them Alfonso, who was much distressed
by the sight Of the sick and cripples, prom
ised to comply with their request.
After mass, he conversed with the clergy
who showed him a chalice his father had
presented to the Basilica.
The King is now returning by way of Pau.
Alfonso's impulsive automobile fights
are causing much anxiety to the Ministers.
They fear he will meet with disaster, but
they do not know how to check him.
