London Mob Condemns Alfonso and
Blames King Edward.
London, Oct. 18. The red flag van
raised in London this afternoon and
a large mob moved' upon tho Spanish
ombaasay to make a demonstration of
its disapproval of the execution of Pro
fessor Freneisco Ferrer at Barcelona.
Police drove off tho crowds in their
ncual bloodless effeetnal way. But un
easiness pervaded the neighborhood.
The trouble began at a mass meeting
in Trafalgar square organised by sev
ral socialists and labor bodies. Sev
era) hundred members of theee organi
rations marched to the square carrying
red flags draped with crepe and bearing
inscriptions denouncing King Alfonso.
A black-bordered banner was left stand
ing against tbe Nelson column with big
letters, "To Hell With the Murderer
Alfonso."
Several laborite members of parlia
ment spoke. Victor Grayson, of Man
chester, the socialist member capped
the climax by declaring that if tbe head
of every king of Europe were torn from
his body, it would not pay half the pries
of Ferrer's life.
He called the Russian emperor a
"dirty monster," and said King Ed
ward, who could have prevented the
execution, was responsible for what
might happen In England as a result
of it. He demanded the expulsion of
tbe Spanish minister.
The socialist societies, carrying ban
ners, then marehed to tbe Spanish em
bassy, singing revolutionary songs and
hooting King Alfonso. A rabbis ac
companied them, filling the streets. It
was dark when they reached tho open
square In front of the embassy, and
they found the square filled with police.
The embassy windows were data anil
tnere was no sign of life. The police
would not let the procession- enter the
square, nor even stop.
The crowds turned back and kept
moving up Victoria street, toward the
Parliament buildings, singing, shouting
and groaning. The reserves drove, the
mob into tho side streets, dispersing it
without trouble.
