GREAT DEMONSTRATIONS IN SPAIN.

IN FAVOR OF ROYALTY. ENA'S BLOODSTAINED DRESS LONDON PLOT THEORY DISCREDITED. LARGE CASUALTY LIST. Received 3,4.47 p.m. Madbid, June 2. There were great demonstrations in favor of royalty throughout Spain. All Governments expressed their sympathy and abhorrence. Thousands on Friday signed the visitors' book at the Palace and twenty thousand cards were left. Ena's bloodstained dress will be deposited in the Church of Almadona opposite the scene of the explosion. The authorities wholly discredit the story that the plot was hatched in London.

Six persons, including Countess Adernero, Don Antonio Gonzales and Marquito Tolosa were killed on the balconies below the assassin's window. Marquito Tolosa left eight children. One regiment lost three officers, a corporal and a private killed, and twenty-seven wounded.

The newspaper "Epoca" says thirteen soldiers and eleven civilians were killed, and twenty-six soldiers and twenty-four civilians seriously injured.

An official informed the " Tele graph's" correspondent that a fragment of the bomb broke a glass panel of tho carriage, and struck Alfonso's shoulder. It snapped a link in the chain of the Golden Fleece he was wearing, inflicting nothing but the very slightest personal injury. Alfonso and the foreign Princes were specially represented at the funeral of eight military victims. There was an extraordinary demonstration of popular sympathy, the procession forming a strange contrast to Thursday's. It transpires that General Weyler was seriously injured. Duran was well dressed and had plenty of valuable luggage. All marks were obliterated on his linen, and nothing was left to establish his identity. PROBABLE'DYNASTIC PLOT.

A State banquet was held oa Friday at Madrid, but the bill was abandoned. Don Carlos's son Jaime, telegraphed, as became a courteous adversary, "Congratulate you on escaping an odious outrage."

Alfonso and Ena, looking x well, motored unescorted through Madrid, and were frantically acclaimed. Alfonso visited the wjunded soldiers in the hospital.
