Queen's Farewell.
The Queen and her daughters have left for Irun.
A huge concourse assembled at the Contral Station al Madrid this morning, to witness the de- parture of the Queen and her daughters. They were disappoint ed, for the Queen and her chi dren unobtrusively boarded a train for France at a wayside station.
The train was driven by the Duke of Saragossa, who always acted as engine-driver for the A number of King and Queen. Court dignitaries were aboard the train, accompanying the Royal family on its exile.

"The Provisional Government of the Republic has taken over power, without formality and without, re- sistance. It assumes the headship of the State with the express assent of triumphant political forces, registered by popular vote at the elections. Interpreting the unhesitating desire of the nation, the committee of public forces, whose coalition has been establish- ed to inaugurate the new regime, designates Alcara Zamora to the Presidency of the Provisional Government of the Republic."

There was a touching scene as he stepped on deck. Two naval officers sprang to attention and shouted, "Long live the King!" "Long live Spain," Alfonso re- plied, raising his hat.
Ilis words were eloquent of the patriotic motives which led him to sacrifice his crown.
"Sire, I am sorry," came from the quivering lips of the Captain. General as he stretched out his hand in farewell. "I am only be ing true to my traditions," re- plied Alfonso. That was the end. Alfonso was quickly conducted to his cabin, the anchor was weighed, and the dark shape of the cruiser slowly disappeared.
