City of Mexico, May 4.—Ex clusive society is still much agitated over the incident that <H<eurre«l SmV- day morning at the ball given by the Spanish Club of Mexico, as told in the IVoi’Ul of the 3rd inst. The ball was one of the grandest ever seen here. Everyone of consequence in the social and political world was present. Among those who attracted particular attention were Signor Ber- cero Armesto, the Spanish Minister; collln had almost whollytlisapjit areil. j The skull was found, but in a frag mentary condition, and tlwit portion where the wound is said to li;ive be>*L made had been destroyed by disinte gration.
