Barcelona Revolutionary Movement Collapses and Leaders Face Trial.
MARTIAL LAW EVERYWHERE Heights of Guruga, Morocco, Swarming with Moors, Attacked by Cruiser Neumancia. Rioting in the provinces of Catalonia, Spain, and the general manifestations of discontent in Madrid over the continuance of the war against the Kabyle tribesmen in Morocco have given rise to grave fear3 that the entire country is on the brink of a revolution. King Alfonso Wednesday declared all Spain under martial law and announced a temporary suspension of constitutional guarantees. He announced that the rioting in Catalonia would be put down at all costs and arranged to dispatch to Barcelona at once two cruisers and the entire Third and Fourth Army corps, "under the personal command of Prince Charles of Bourbon. Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria also will accompany the troops, with the rank of squadron commander. Kins la Hooted In Streets. King Alfonso was publicly hooted on the streets as he drove from the railroad station to the royal palace on his return from San Sebastian. Cries cf "Down with the king!" were heard on every hand. ; Barcelona is the center of the worst rioting, and it is there that the uprising against the war policy of the government seems to center. The author Itle3 feel that their first care must be to break the spirit of the Barcelona rebels, after which they can subduo the malcontents in other places with greater ease. Wednesday marked a black chapter In Spain's history, for there was trag- j eay Doth at home and abroad. The king reached Madrid in time to learn that part of his army at Melilla had had a bloody battle with the Moors, which, though the final victory was won by the Spaniards, C03t the lives of twenty-one officers and a total of 200 Spaniards killed or wounded. The captain-general of Barcelona, Spain, has telegraphed to the general staff at Madrid that the revolutionists have surrendered, and that he is now the master of the situation. The number of victims as a result of the fighting in the streets was high. Twentythree buildings were destroyed by the artillery. Leaders of the rebels are being tried by court-martial and summarily executed. There I3 ho train service between Barcelona and Madrid. Special dispatches from Melilla said that the Spanish cruiser Numancia was shelling the heights of Mount Guruga, which was swarming with Moors. Gen. Marina, commander of the Spanish forces in Morocco, reports that there 13 mevnentary quiet outside Melilla, but no details of the situation of the army at Melilla are given out except that Spanish re-enforcements with a new commanding general have arrived there. A Carllst plot to dethrone Alfonso Is believed to have been foiled by the police, who raided the Carlist headquarters in Madrid and seized a large amount of papers and documents. Members of the Carllst Junta, some of them close relatives of Don Jaime, the pretender, fled from Madrid Just In time to escape capture. Bankers are rapidly shipping their cash reserves Into France, under heavy military guard, owing to a fear that the army will revolt and a bloody revolution will follow. CHECKS DEPORTING OF ALIENS. Immlcratlon II urea a Ilebakea I. peetora for Hasty Aetlon. "Of late the arresting and deporting of aliens has Increased enormously and a tendency is noted in some case3 to sacrifice quality of work to quantity. This will not do. There must be no merely superficial inquiry in any cases. Officers must not submit recommendation for arrest upon Irresponsible, uninvestigated accusations." Thi3 was the sharp rebuke administered in instructions which have Just been sent out from Washington by the Bureau of Immigration to all commissioners of immigration and inspectors In charge, directing attention to the failure of investigating officers in making thorough preliminary Inquiry, especially in cases of alleged violation of the alien contract labor law.
