Spain The Spanish Government re-established its authority in Seville in
a very few days after it had put down the rising in Madrid. General Sanjurjo fled and was captured. The Civil Guards of the district have been disbanded and many arrests have been made. There has been some wanton destruction of churches and other property by those who take such opportunities for mischief. There is inevitably a great deal of discontent engendered by the change to a Republic, and many of the discontented probably are Monarchists, and all would be conveniently so called by the Government. But 'we see no evidence that any revolutionary was mad enough to expect to restore the Monarchy through this revolt, and no one has suggested that Don Alfonso was so foolish as to be connected with it in any way whatsoever. The dis- content was marked afresh by a general strike which broke out at Granada on Tuesday for no apparent industrial cause. * * * *
