CALL TO SPANISH PEOPLE

ALFONSO WANTS REBELLION Former King Alfonso XIII and his uncle, Alfonso Carlos, traditionalist pretender to the Spanish throne, have issued a call to the Spanish people to overthrow the new Republic in Spain, a member of Prince Alfonso Carlos’s entourage said recently. In the manifestos the former King accepted his uncle as head of the family and proposed restoration of the monarchy as a form of provisional government, which would collaborate with legislative chambers representative of the. people, “in giving Spain a truly Christian constitution.” The two monarchist beads had an affectionate conversation during a recent visit to Vienna, the spokesman said, when the outlines of the manifestos were drawn up. These were issued through followers of the two members of the House of Rourbon before the nephew left recently for Greece. Both held to the principle that everyone must unite.to “save Spanish society from anarchy and communism.”
