POPULAR PRISONERS
REPUBLICAN ISM 1 IN SPAIN. United Press Association.— By Electric '■>[' Telegraph.—Copyright.! LONDON. December 24. The Madrid correspondent of “The Times” states that a crowd of visitors daily throngs the dusty courtyards and corridors of tin* model prison in which hundreds of political prisoners are in-, carcerated. Queues form up and -isitors are admitted on merely .stating their arms. Furcoated ladies carrying roses, priests and students are in. eluded in the daily procession. The cells resemble a zoo, each prisi oner speaking from behind heavy grills and stretching out hands to caress friends. Prisoners may exercise in the courtyard, and supplement their meagre rations with canteen fare. Republican feeling is evidenly widespread,-’ gentlemen and workmen alike begging the honour of shaking hands with members of the ill-starred provisional republican government.
