ALFONSO AND HIS SUBJECTS. King Alfonso, it has been said, bears a charmed life. Ho has had many remarkable escapes.from death, inoluding four deliberate jittonujls to takp hieUfe.

■When a boy ho was attacked in the streets of 'Madrid by a ruffian armed with a knife, butescaped uninjured. Two shots were fired at him on June 11, 1903,, in Madrid, while driving home from church, accompanied by his mother and sister. Both shots missed him. During his visit to Paris in June, 1005, a bomb was thrown at him ns he was returning from'the opera'with President Loubet. Two horses were killed, but the King escaped again unhurt. The fourth attempt was made on May'Bo, 190G, during his. wedding festivities in Madrid.

It was on-that day that Queen Victoria (Ena) of Spaiu, daughter of Princess Henry of Battenburgj and niece of King Edward, had a lurid picture''of Spanish anarchy. A bomb, concealed in a bounuet, was thrown at the royal oarriago after the wedding ceremony, killing at least twelve people and injuring many. Tho Queen, it is reported, bore up bravely. Writes a correspondent of a London paper: "That the Spaniard to-day is not one whit less oourogeous and dignified than his ancestors who were the dictators of the' world was demonstrated hi Cavite Bay, when tho wooden hulks of Spain were fought against the armoured, ships of the United States until the lower guns were under water and the decks were scones of frightful carnage. And in 18G8, after the (light of Queen Isabella and the withdrawal of the troops from the capital, the bommon people formed themselves into a guard for the protection of life and property, and, just an they were, took up positions outside tho abandoned royal palace and national institutions. 'Ragged men acted as sentries over untold treasures, and it speaks well for the moderation and intelligence of the people that. dur-. ing'tho days when the mob was in. absolute control'of-the.city »o single act of violence' took place, and nothing was disturbed in the great building's, , which had been left unpro-: tected; ■•'■■' •'':■■. ■.■"■■■•.'. "A people capable of such high deeds are no dullards, as many would have .us believe. Greatness' is latent in them, but they have been .started - physically and ■ morally for hundreds of years by the oupidity of incompe-. tent Ministers and vicious' rnlers._ The red. and yellow stripes n>ay never '-niain fly over half tho known world. Snain's work as a colonising. Power is finished, the vonng Re-, publics of the.Wfist. having inherited the legacies: of the -old country, ,but she- has at Mr own doors .thi! duty of regeneration, with ■ material thnt should once more accord her a high place in the arts and 1 crafts of civilisation." .' . ; " :, ,. ■'•■ •■.
