The excitement occasioned by thea'tempt on King Alfonso’s life has not by any means died out. The criminal fired from the side- walk in front of house No. 93 Calle Mayor, not far from the arched entrance to the Plaza Mayor. He aimed too low, however, and the ball passed through the hand of a soldier standing guard on the opposite side of the street. ‘The King saw the flash and, with an involuntary movement of his hand, checked his horse momentarily. He then rode tranquilly the palace, Several women who were standing near the man who fired pointed him out with loud cries, and he was at once secured. He did not make the slightest attempt to escape. onward toward Terrible indignation was mani- fested among the people forming the crowd that almost immediately gathered trom the bazaars and the markets in the Plaza Mayor— that doleful old enclosed square, where the autos da fé and the fiestas reales took place during and even since the days of the Inquisition, but now given over to the ‘venders of dates, pomegranates and base- metal jewelry. Attempts were made to wreak summary vengeance upon the assas- sin when he was on his way to the Gobierno Civil. Thence he was soon removed to the Captain Generaloy. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRISONER. The prisoner displayed great coolness during his commitment. He insolently drew a cigar from his pocket, which, after having struck a match, he coolly lit and began tosmoke, He is a very thin man, of medium height, wears a light mustache and has his hair closely cropped. He ad- mitted the crime and triumphantly de- clared himself a socialist and Internation- alist, but when interrogated as to who his accomplices were denied that he had acted in concert with any one. He said that he came alone from Tarragona purposely to killa king. This was his first serious dis. appointment in life. GENERAL GRANT A WITNESS. General Grant was standing when the shot was fired at a window of the Hotel de Paris (situated at the junction of the Carrera San Geronimo and the Calle de Alcala), overlook- ing the Puerta del Sol. This hotel is along distance from the scene of the attack, but looks across the great central plaza of Madrid directly down the Calle Mayor. General Grant, who was following with his eyes the progress of the royal caval- cade which had just passed across the Puerta del Sol before him, said to the Henszp correspondent that he clearly saw the flash of the assassin’s pistol. The General had already “booked” for Lisbon by the night train leaving at seven o'clock, and therefore could not in person present his congratulations to King Alfonso; but to Sefior Silvera, the Minister of State, who called soon after and accompanied him to the railway station, General Grant ex- pressed his sympathies, and regrets that he was unable to postpone his journey in order that he might personally call upon His Majesty. He begged Sefior Silvera to convey to the King his sincere congratu- lations on his escape from the assassin’s bullet. There was a great gathering of diplomats, nobles and men of all parties at the palace to offer congratulations on Fri- day night and yesterday. Marshal Serrano ‘Wuke de la Torre) was one of the first callers. Minister James Russell Lowell and Mr. Ried, Secretary of Legation, called at the palace yesterday and cxpressed their gratification at the King’s escape, The King continues to make light of the whole affair, but the popular indignation is still extreme. PRAYERS AT THE ATOCHA CHAPEI. The King drove yesterday to the Chapel of the Atocha (as he does every Saturday afternoon) with his sister, the Princess of the Asturias, by his side, They wero seated in a two-horse brake with two lackeys behind ond one outrider, but ‘without any escort. His reception by the populace amounted almost to an ovation. The royal party drove from the palace up through the street in which the shooting occurred, across the Puerta del Sol, down the Calle de Alcala to the Prado, and thence along the Passeo Botanico into the Passeo de Atocha—the very route over which, on January 23 last, the young King drove to the same convent chapel to claim the hand prayer for the repose of the soul of his little bride he yesterday coupled the gratitude of a devout and sad heart for his recent escape from assassination. THE SYMPATHY OF EUROPE. The King received this morning (Sun- day) affectionate telegrams from his mother, ex-Queen Isabella IL, the Duke de Montpen- sier, Espartero and others, congratulating him’ upon his escape. Hundreds of tele- grams are already at hand from the provin- cial authorities, corporations, bishops and all the foreign courts. There was.a solemn Te Deum sung yesterday at the chapel in the Palace of San Telmo, the seat of the Duke de Montpensier, situated in the extreme southern portion of the city of Seville, and fronting on the river Guadal- quiyir, The family of the Duke was pres- ent and joined inthe mass which preceded the Te The Madrid maunici- pality celebrated a Te Deum to-day at the Church of Santa Maria de la Almu- dena, which enjoys the privilege of an iglesia mayor in this cathedralless capital.
