OF cougratulation from abroad on his miracu-

The King described the attack as fol-

STATEMENT BY THE PRISONER.
Madrid Anil II

At4 o'clock this morning Sanchez, the
King asaailant, made a long statement III the
course of which he repeated that on Friday
last he wrote to his family at Barcelo-
ma asking for n little money. Receiving no
reply, and wishing to put an end to his mis-
cry, he resolved to kill the King, which act
would, he thought, lead to his immediate
execution The Spanish Anarchists, he add
ed, were all known to him, as be had published
a number Of articles in the prrty newspapers.
On Saturday he spent most of the day in
procuring Il pistol, and after hat he returned
home for supper and subsequently, went TO
the Peoples Hall, where ne remained until
2 O'Clock III the morning without speaking u
word to any one. He then went to bed, but
rose at an early hour, and altar breakfasting
on a cup Of black coffee, went to the Aveni-
dia de Castellana, when he proceeded to the
Gale de Alcala, where he made bis attempt
on the King. After making his statement
which was not finished until six O'Clock, San
chez was removed to the cellular prison.
The King of Spain has been exempt from
attempts at assassination for very nearly sew
en- years. Every one will recall how narrow

of their subjects were killed and wounded,
but, though s~pattered with blood, the bridal
couple were unipiured by the explosion Of
the bomb which had been hurled from a bal
c0ny while concealed IN a bouquet. Exactly
one year before, during his visit to Paris in
1905, Don Alfonso had been attacked while
driving with President Loubet in the Rue de
