One of the demonstrators entered the building with a pincard. Ho was promptly detained. This so infuriated the crowd that the doors were rushed and the pri- soner was liberated.

"The crowd then marched on the Civil Governor's palace-overturn ing a tram-car on the way. A few policemen, with drawn swords, were on guard outside the palace, but the mob surged past them and kept up a noisy demonstration while the mayor and corporation were in the palace waiting to see the Governor.

It must be understood that the Guardia Civil are cordially detest- ed in Tenerifie. The force is ahout 400 atarng on the island and is composed of picked soldiers. They are liable to shoot on sight, and inquests are not held on their vie time.
Their commander pointed out the danger of calling out his men, but the Governor insisted. A num- ber of mounted men and others on foot were sent to quell the disturb
