King Alfonso today continued 10 enjoy

was that one policeman had died from his
wounds. The king did not display any
apprehension Of further danger.

palace later and held n brief interview
with the king. The party then proceeded
TO the Invalides railroad station, where
a special train conveyed them 20 the
