VINDICATE FERRER.

Newspaper says Spanish Court Cleared his Name. A Helgian newspaper says ifc h:is received information from ono of the exo-eutor-i at the estate of Prof. Francisco Ferrer, of tlie Modern School, who was executed over a year ago by the Spanish Government for participation in the Barcelona bomb outrages, that the Supreme Court at Madrid lias practically reversed the judgment of the military court and declared Ferrar imiooent. Consequently the oonfiscated property has lieeji restored to Jiis lifirs.

It is suggested that Kinjg Alfonso's clojnency in the case of Chato, the leader of tbo Culler.i slayers, whose sentence of fleflfcii was recently commuted by tho king, may be attributed to his uneasy conscience-over the Ferrer case.

Despatches from Madrid make no mention of any Mich decision by the Supreme. Court.
