POPULAR PRISONERS
SPANISH REBEL LEADERS MANY VISITORS IN GAOL LONDON, Dec. 24. The Times’ Madrid correspondent states that crowds of visitors daily throng the dusty courtyard and corridors of the model prison, which is incarcerating hundreds of political prisoners. Queues form up and the visitors are admitted on merely stating their names. Fur-coated ladies carrying roses, priests, and students, are included in the procession. The cells resemble a zoo, each prisoner speaking from behind a heavy grille and stretching out his hands to caress friends. The prisoners may exercise in the courtyard and supplement their meagte canteen fare. Republican feeling is evidently widespread, gentlemen and workmen alike begging The honor of shaking bands with members of the ill-starred provisional Republican Government.
