The close attention given by the pre-

difficulties he may meet in carrying them
out. But assuming that Senior Alvarez
was sincere, when he recently said that

clock quite correctly, what a prospect
would confront the country. The repub-

unions, leagues and alliances: the very

different camps.
Spanish Republicans Divided.
The division among the Spanish liberals
sink to insgnifcance before the perpetual
personal enmities and opposing aims in
the republican ranks To grant them
power would be to unite over the unfor-
tunate country a very sack of Aeolus
containing all the winds Indeed. in COM
parison with a Spanish republic based
upon all these elements, the Portuguese
republic. with its intellectual theorists,
it's carbonarious and it's demagogues,
might well appear to be a tower OF
strength and union.
The mutiny on board the Numancla
produced a profound impression in Bar
celona where 1t was at once given the
character of a republican rising. A small
band of radicals raised cry of viva

lice, not, however, before several shots
had been fired and the shops OF the Ram

tendency to panic on the part of the clti-

part of the affair. July, 1909 is still fresh

A Remarkable Escape.

But he grew careless as to where he
showed himself. and was identified at a
ball by municipal official. who had seen
his photograph on the illustrated warrant
circulated by the police. So he was caught
and taken back to Hebron. During
the journey he told his warders that the
authorities were merely wasting the pub
lie money in shutting him up again. as
prison walls had not yet been made that
were thick enough and strong enough to
keep him in. This hint was not ignored
He was chained by the legs to the walls
of one Of the safest cells in the prison,
and every night his clothes were re-
moved, so that If he did manage to es-
cape he could only do so in state of
nakedness that would render his early re-
capture practically certain
Nevertheless. all precautions were in
vain. When his cell was visited it was
found that the bird had flown. COnfed-
crates from outside had obtained access
to an adjoining building, in course OF
construction. hence made their way into
the prison courtyard cut through the
bars of the cell with a Jimmy, and sew
cred with a hack-saw the letters that
bound their comrades legs. The great
mystery Of the whole affair is how Schie-
mangk established the communication
with his friends, which, it Is declared,
must have been absolutely necessary to
the success of the enterprise.
