WITH ROYAL HONORS. Tuueral of Canova. del Ca.tillo, the Dead Spanish Premier. Madrid, Aug. 14. — The funeral of Senor Canovas del Castillo yesterday was a most touching and solemn ceremony.

Senora Canovas, in a clear, firm voice, said: “I desire that all should know I forgive the assassin. It is the greatest sacrifice I can make, but I make it for the sake of what I know of my husband’s great heart." The remains of Senor Canovas were interred in the family ’ault in the St. Isidore cemetery amid salvos of artillery and the tolling of all the bells of the city. SENATOR TELLER.
