Parliament of Stake Suspended.
I just love these pretty, revolu- tions, but they keep a rather strict bye on what is despniched to the British Fress. There is no censor ship as in Spain, but cables, if dis- pleasing to the authorities, are apt to be delayed in transmission, and telephone calls suddenly get cut off, and a polite feminine volco says: "They need the line." So you sco they do know something about the revolution.

The prince wad quite cross about the hostile demonstration. Six people were arrested and four have] been anntenced to "imprisonment for periods varying from one to eight months, and all four fined. Two men were acquitted.
