Ex-King Alfonso, of Spain, who has spent a few days here sightseeing under the title of the Duke of Toledo, left to-day on his way to Egypt.
Ex-King Alfonso has declared that he has no knowledge whatever of a manifesto published in the press a few days ago, attributed to him and his uncle, Don Alfonso Cralos de Bourbon, the head of the Spanish Bourbons, in which he was stated to have appealed to the Spanish people to rally round him, and save Spain from her present “anarchical state”, for which he was said to have blamed “the machinations of Communism, Freemasonry and Judaism”.
Ex-King Alfonso said that the alleged manifesto was absurd and comic beyond all belief.
