Madrid calm again

February 16, 1901

King Alfonso XIII and his mother, Queen Regent Maria Cristina, went for a drive today in Madrid, according an Associated Press report, which was published in the New York Times. "The drive was without incident,"and Madrid "is perfectly calm." The capital of Spain suffered repeated demonstrations by students and others as they protested the wedding of the King's sister, the Princess of Asturias to Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.
