cHzEHina THE VICTOR.

A few weeks ago all Spain was in
a fernent over the war with the Afri-
can tribes upon which the govern
ment had entered, and there was all
sorts Of threatening OF revolt and
actual overt demonstration in some
communities, which had to be put
down by force of arms. The king
was abused in the streets, and jeers
greeted him in public places. The
populace tried to prevent the depar-
ture of the troops ordered to the
front. and some Of the troops mutt
MED.
The war is over now, the Spanish
arms having been successful, and the
tribesmen having been badly beaten.
Possibly the Spanish possessions in
Africa may be extended in conse-
quence Of this conquest The news
of the decisive victory was received
in Madrid with demonstrations of
great joy. The popular rejoicing last
ed until midnight and immense crowds
assembled before the palace shouting:
Long live the king" When King
Alfonso appeared he was wildly
cheered. The republican organs that
opposed the war most vigorously are
beginning to count now the prizes of
conquest I'VE have won,' says the
Pals, the entire Mellila peninsula
and Marchica can be made the base
of magnificent port"
It's the same old story. Nothing
succeeds like success. If the tribes
men had driven the Spanish forces
back into the sea-which they never
had chance to do-King Alfonso
might have lost his crown, as Spain
is always halfway ready for revo-
luton. and II wouldn't take much TO
carry her the whole journey. AS it
has come about King Alfonso is the
idol of the hour, and there will be big
talk, we suppose, of the glories OF
his reign and all that It's lucky
thing for the king that he got his
troops away from the revolutionists
and across to Africa in sufficient num-
bers to do up the Ruffians.
