Up | tothe present we have had our enemies united, presenting a solid front. Now we will have them divided.

I have precisely the same enemies to deal with I had before, and this is why ldo not look upon the political situation as materially changed. I regard this attempt to set up Don Alfonso simply as @ sort of homage paid to myself, as well as to the mon- arcnical aspirations of the Spanish people.

Rancour, conductor; James Scott, en- gineer; Barney Callahan, fireman; Benjamin Car- man, brakeman, and two trackmen, beside Mr. Barr himself.
