Furnishes Climax of Spectacular
Events Surrounding Wedding.
Madrid, June 8, 2 a. m.-The civil
governor announces that an individ-
ual exactly resembling the man sup
posed to have thrown the bomb at
the royal couple as they were pro-
ceeding to the palace from the
church after the marriage ceremony
committed suicide in the village of
Torrejondeariox, near Madrid, when
he was about to be arrested.
Madrid, June 3.-The royal bull
fight yesterday afternoon was the
climax of the spectacular magnii-
! cence attendant upon the marriage
of King Alfonso and for the time be.
ing Madrid forgot the horrors of the
attempt on the lives of the royal
couple amid the brilliancy and ex-
element of this national pastime.
1t was feared the event would give
another opportunity for an outrage,
but everything passed off auspic-
! iously, King Alfonso and Queen Vic
| toria being continuously the center
! of enthusiastic popular ovations
| From about noon crowds choked
the Sale de Alcala, leading TOWARD
| the plaza de forbes, and extraordin-
airy precautions were adopted to pre-
| vent another attempt on the lives
of their majesties. Within and with
! out the vast amphitheater the pic
| ture was one Of animation. Through
| every approach came the gorgeous
! equipages of members Of the royal
! families and the persons of noble
! lineage. The multitudes which pack
| ed the avenues were held back by
solid masses Of cavalry and infantry.
Within, the structure presented
wonderful scene of vibrating color.
! The arena was carpeted with flow
| ers which a sharp wind carried about
in eddies until the ring was cleared
for the combat Around the circle,
rising tier on tier, were 10000 per-
sons, most of them in gay costumes
with the royal box Illuminating the
spect-cle.
At 4 o'clock King Alfonso and
! Queen Victoria entered the box and
| looked upon the shouting multi de.
The king wore a military uniform,
while the queen was attired in white
!
her white mantilla Much sympathy
was felt for the young queen in un-
dergoing this further ordeal. The
bull fight itself was a disappointment
to the Spaniards, as some of its us
ual blood curdltng features were
omitted, probably as a concession to
the queen. She viewed the CORY
spectacle without the least outward
evidence of emotion. One maddened
bull literally tore a horse to pieces
under the railing of the royal box,
from which Victoria looked down
without shrinking.
Eight bulls were dispatched, four
of them by cavaliers mounted on
horseback, who were chosen from
the first families of Spain with the
duke of Medina Coeli, the duke of
Alba, and the marquis of Tobra as
their patrons.
Madrid, June 4.-The capture and
suicide Saturday night at Torrejou
de Krdes of Manuel Morales, the chief
suspect in the bomb outrage against
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria,
adds another dramatic chapter to the
incidents surrounding the royal wed.

Morales was recognized by a guard
who sought to detain him, but Nor
ales drew a revolver and killed the
guard. Then he turned to fee but
number of the citizens blocked his
way, and he turned the revolver upon
himself, expiring few minutes later.
ST.. Cuesta, proprietor of the hotel
from the balcony of which Morales
threw the bomb, viewed the body
yesterday morning and completely
identified it as that of his recent
guest The body was then brought
to Madrid. At first there was de-
sire to bury it at Torrejan de Ardes,
but the villagers Indignantly refus-
ed to permit the corpse to repose in
their town.
The body of Morales was exposed
yesterday afternoon and thousands
sought admission to the room where
it lay. Public feeling was intense,
chiefly because of the great number
of victims The final disposition of
the body has not yet been determined
upon, but the public demands an
ignominious burial.
The American envoy to the we l.
ding, Frederick W. Whitridge, had
brief conversation with King Alfonso
during the reception Saturday night.
When the conversation naturally turn,
ed to the attempt on the king and
queen, King Alfonso shrugged his
shoulders and made the following
significant statement, showing how he
views the future:
Yes, fortunately, it was unsuccess-
full; but it will come again. 1t may
be any time-perhaps tomorrow per-
haps within month, perhaps within
