Madrid, April 13—For the third time in his reign, King Alfonso narrowly escaped today being the victim of an anarchist attempt against his life. Three shots were fired at the king this afternoon in the streets of the capi- tal by Rafael Sanchez Allegro, a na- tive of Barcelona, who was immedi- ately overpowered. +« King Alfonso owed his life to his own courage, quick wittedness and skilled horsemanship. Accompanied his staff he was riding along .the Calle de Alcala on the way back from | the ceremony of swearing in the re- cruits, when a man sprang from the sidewalk and seized the bridle of thé king’s horse with one hand, pre- senting a revolver point blank with the other. Bullet Lodged in Horse's Neck. The king took in the situation at a glance. With lightning rapidity he‘ dug his spurs into his horse, which Teared violently. His quickness saved his life. The bullet, instead of bury- ing itself in the king's breast, struck the horse on the neck, but so close ‘was it that the king's left hand glove was blackened by the powder dis- charge. . Before the assailant was able to pull | the trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. The two men fell to the 'ground locked in each other's arms, struggling furiously The as- ®assin managed to free his revolver arm and fired two more shots in rapid succession, but the officer knocked his arm aside and the bul- lets flew harmilessly through the air. Assassin Puts Up a Battle, * At the sound of the first shot the Xking’s staff forced their horses on the widewalk and made a ring around the assassin, who fought long and fierce- ly in the grip of four policemen be- fore he was overpowered and hand- cuffed. King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that the man had been secured raised ‘himself jn the stirrups, turned to the <rowd, gave a military salute and shouted in_ ringing voice: “Long live Spain!™ He then dismounted and reassured his staff, saying: “It is nothing, gentlemen.” King Cheered by the Masses. Then up rose a mighty roar fro: the wildly enthusiastic masses, which rolled along in great waves of sound, | all the way as the king rode to the palace, cool, collegted and smiling. A spectator, a ps ioner Colay Hal- berdier, . pushed forward so impetu- ously to offer his congratulations to | their fears |tion for his display ef bravery. ELF BY HIS QUICK wWIT He Dug Spurs Into Horse the monarch that he was mistaken for another assassin and arrested He was released, however, as soon as the mistake was discevered. A youns Frenchman, who was sianding be- side Allegro, was also arrested but it does not appear that he was in any way conmected with him. Crowds Attempted to Lynch Assassin. The crowds made a determined at- tempt to lynch Allegro, who was hur- riedly taken into a house and kept there until an auto-ambulance es- corted by mounted police transferred him to a police headquarters. King Alfonso was first to tell of what he lightly called “The incident which caused delay” to Queen Victoria and the dowager queen, Maria Chris- tina, at the palace who were greatly alarmed., The king smilingly allayed Allegro an Anarchist. been back ten min- sc He had hardly utes when an immense clamor The two squares on which the D: looks were black with people of . classes, desirous of showing their joy at the king’s safety and their admira- The king went to the balcony and knowlsdged their cheers and thea sought the queen and the two stood bowing to the throngs for several minutes.

A curious coincidencs is found in the fact that the Spanish premier, Count Romanones, last night declared to be absolutely without foundation alarming rumors which had been cir- culated in Madrid ,regarding the pos- sibility of an attempt against the king today on the occasion of the swearing in of the recruits and relative to the presence in Madrid of several danger- ous anarchists.

Interest was intense tonight in the three-cornered race for the office of president-general of the soclety. Dele- gates gathered from all parts of the country were discussing the latest de- velopment in the already bitter cam- paign—the letter sent today by the executive committee to Mrs. Scoit. This letter declared that the mem- bership of the society was restive un- der a fear “that the high ideals upon which the socfety was founded were being to some extent set aside for the Jesser considerations of political ad- Vantage,” and urged that steps be tak- en to insure fair treatment to each candidate for president-general. ¥orces of the opposing candidates are preparing for final contest, and claims and counter-claims of instruct- ed delegations are made in each of the headquarters. Mrs, Horton and Mrs. Story are making the most active campeigns, but the suporters of Mrs. Charles B. Bryan of Memphis are do- ing a god Geai of quiet electioneering. Rumors have been current that Mrs. Bryan intended to withdraw and use her influence with her delegates to bring about the election of one of the other candidates. She today set this at rest with the declaration that She “was in the Sight to the bitter end” SEVEN KILLED ON BRANCH OF THE CENTRAL VERMONT n Train Derailed and Three Coaches Telescoped. Excursi April 13.—Seven persons fifteen were injured as the result of the deraflment of an ex- cursion train this afternoon on the Montreal Chamly branch of the Cen- tral Vermont railway, about four and a half miles out of St. Lambert. The train was carrying about 700 passengers who had taken advantage of the free trip given by Cottrell, Lim iter, real estate agents, to prospective purchasers of lots at Albani sub-divi- sion, and was returning to Montreal at a speed of between 20 and 30 miles an hour, when from an as yet un- Imown cause the engine and the three first coaches left the rails near Bast Greenfield station. The telescoping of the ends of the derailed cars caused most of the fa- talities, nearly all of which oocurred on the first two of the derailed cars. scaping steam from the bofler of the locomotive which was thrown over on its side, filled the coaches and ham- pered the passengers in escaping. The passengers from the other cars formed a rescue brigade and worked hard to extricate the dead and In- jured from the wreckage.

S. Troops MEXICAN FEDERALS CROSS THE BORDER. UNDER A FIERCE FIRE Garrison at Nace, Sonora, Would Not Surrender to Rebels — Abandoned Barracks When Ammunitign Failed. Naco, Arfz, April 13.—General Ojeda, commanding the remnants of his fed- eral garrison of 300 troopers at Sonora, surrendered to the States troops on berder patrol here today after having withstood a sfege of state troops which lasted for five days and in which more than half his troopers were killed. The surrender was hastened by the attack on the federal garrison by the band of Yaqui Indians under General Alvaro Obre- gon, commanding the state troops, who at daybreak burst in upon the little garrison across the border -and fought Viciously. The dead on both sides has been estimated at 200. Attempted to March Across Border. General Ojeda, true to his promise, refused to surrender to the state forces and, while the fighting was at its height this morning, he attempted to march across the border with his band of faithful federals. The fire from the enemy was demoralizing and Ojeda and his men scattered, running to the railway tracks which separate the two border towns. Not even then did the firing from rebels cease, and Gemeral Ofeda shouted to the American soldlers watching the fighting from a distance. Fifteen Remained Behinc. Captain H. A, Sevarts, Company A, Ninth United States cavalry, ran at once to his assistance. The American olficer grasped the Mexican general by he arm. Together they ran through the hail of lead to where an automo- bile was waiting. Captain Figueroa of the federal gar- rison, with fifteen men, remained be- hind to cover General Ojeda’s flight. | One by one he and his fellows died in the barracks, eurrounded by a horde of velling, slaushtering Yaquis. When the Indians burst in the win- dows and doors and crawled through Shell-made apertures in the building, thers were no living federals to greet them. Little Left for Rebels. General Obregon entered the bar- racks from which the handful of fed- eral soldiers had wrought sq much havee within his overwhelming force and picked up the sword which had fallen from Captain Figueroa’s hand. Such was the only formality of sur- render to the state forces. General Ojeda, before leaving the Sonora town, spiked his.camnon and burned all supplies. Little was left for the victorious rebels. _Personaily leading his small group of men, he went from bullding to bullding, wreck- ing and destraying everything which might have been useful to the rebels. Not until his ammunition had become exhausted, however, did the federal commander give the word for flight. Sixty-five Wounded. Sixty-five wounded from both sides | were burried to this town and placsd in the army hospftal. The dead re- mained piled in the streets and lying in_the bulldings as they fell. Forty-five wounded Indians picked up in the streets of the Mexican town told what the Yaquis had accomplish- ed.
