Liberal Press AttackS the 4ction of
Span.

London. oct 1.-THE execution Of Ferrer is
denounced in strong terms by the Liberal morn

moderate in tone and consider that Ferrer
ought TO have been tritd by the ordinary proc
ess Of law Fears are expressed that the affair
will lead to grave internal troubles for Spain.
No public demonstrations Of protest have yet

NO RISING IN SPAIN.
People Kept in Ignorance of Sersti-
ment abroad.

Paris, Oct. IA dispatch TO the 'Alatin"
from Barcelona says that the execution of Fer
rer did not produce the effect expected The
Barcelona newspaper print brief details OF the
affair without comment. Ferrer was never pop
ular in Barcelona, and the censorship has been
stringent that the public is ignorant of the
sentiment abroad, or has been led to believe that
the demonstrations were organized and paid for
" Ferrer's money. Thus there has been lit
tie expression OF sympathy.
The execution took place simultaneously with
the announcement there of the sentence and
surprised the public. but there has been no
demonstration. Great precautions, however
were taken by the authorities. who feared that
bombs might be used What tomorrow may
bring forth cannot be foretold.
By his viii Ferrer leaves the bulk of his
fortune to his children, with the expressed de-
sire that they turn it to two well known
revolutionists TO continue his schools. Ferrer's
calm and dignifled bearing in the last moments
Of life greatly impressed even his most in
Veterate enemies.
