KING ALFONSO'S SHAKY THRONE.

FAMOUS NOVELIST'S PROPHECY.

PROSPECTS OF A REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT IN ́SPAIN.

In view of the recent demonstrations in Madrid against the King, the following article by Mr. C. Patrick Thompson, recently appearing in the London Expren, will be found of great interest as giving an Englishman's impressions of the situation in Spain;-

Cards in the Game,

His talk of Spain, its king, and the coming revolution wove fantastic threads into the bright pattern of jazz that encompassed

;

The monarchy was played wat Alfonso had cooked bis goose. De Rivera was cardboard dictator. The regiments were ripe for revolt. Catalonia, the separatist province, might rise any day. Lerrout, the republican leader, had a powerful following, and half the party leaders were republicans at heart.

The Last Dance.

But one of the pretty ladies wanted to dance. The most cele brated of the Spanish republicans exiles heaved up his bulk and took the floor. 1. w his pale, large face, ravaged by violent thoughts and wild labours, pass and repass through the mist of tobacco smoke. It was the year of "Tea for Two and I Want to be Happy," and the band gave us no rest from either.

Ibanez looked ill and weary to death. He had not long to live,

De Rivera has fallen, but King Alfonso XIII still sits his throne and will continue to sit it if his legendary luck holds, his lively in- telligence does not fail, and the chief of his Pratorian guard, Gen eral Berenguer, who now holds the reins of power, does not blunder.

The throne is in peril. But it was in peril when its present ten- ant, wrapped in cotton wool and fying on a silver salver, was hand- ed to the councilions of State a few hours after his birth, on May 17, 1856.

It was in peril when 10,000 Spaniards, the cream of the army, were cut up by Abd el-Krim's Riffs in the savage wastes of Spanish Morocco and Alfonso was discover. De Rivera never liked him, but ed to be amusing himself in Cor- the King stuck to him, restored his niche's littis Babylon-by-the-sea, army rank, made him head of his Deauville, at the time.

...

If these two, King and general, play their cards right, the Spanish throne will be carried safely across the tight-rope to the platform be. yond-for a breathing space, be it understood, for a breathing space only.
