RIOTS NOT QUELLED
Conflicts Are Still Occurring
at Barcelona.
TROOPS AGAlfiFIREONSTRiKERS
Devoting Tliclr Knerglrs to Prevent-

lsw I'ncrgetlc Steps.
MADRID. Fob. 21. Official dispatches
recHvod hero assert that calm has been
restored at Barcelona, Saragossa and Va
lencia, but newspaper telegrams report
that the situation Is still serious.
The rioters at Barcelona are devoting
their energies to preventing food supplies
from entering the town. In one such case
the troops escorting a convoy were
obliged to lire on the rioters, several of
whom were killed or wounded. A serious
conflict also occurred today In the center
o the town. The orders of the Captain
General to persuade the dock laborers to
resume work have failed, and the entire
trde of Barcelona Is at a standstill.
Jiciolutionary proclamations are still be
irg circulated there. The most stringent
if'tMureo have been prepared to protect
trallic Had business. The strikers have
few rifles, but are well supplied with re
inlvors and daggers.
The search of suspected houses contin
ue, resulting In the arrest of large num
lrs of anarchists and revolutionists of
.all kinds, who are considered to be the
j r me movers in the troubles. The cosmo
poHtaui character of Barcelona makes it
a resort for representatives of all the
revolutionary elements in Iurope, and the
ranks of the malcontent workmen ha-e
been swelled by French and other foreign
political agitators. The Republicans are
busy among the troops, urging them not
to use their arms against Jhelr own class
in defense of plutocrats.
The working people of Madrid favor the
strikers.
Martial law has been proclaimed at
Tarragona. The strike Is spreading in the
Llobregat and Cardona Valleys. There is
a general cessation of work at Castellon
do la Plana and'Grave. and much excite
ment prevails at Batea. Forces of gen
darmes have been dispatched to those
places.
Delegates from the labor societies of
Saragossa. have visited the Governor and
declared themselves opposed to the strike.
The exciting debate in the Chamber of
Deputies h re on the interpellation yes
terday of Senor Robert. Deputy from the
Province of Catalonia, in regard to the
ocenrrenees at Barcelona, was renewed
today. Senor Romero Robledo asked for
information regarding the matter of the
Foreign Consuls at Barcelona, and when
the Secretary for the Interior. Senor Gon
zales, professed his ignorance of this
meeting and declared the interpellation to
be Inopportune, the Deputies of the oppo
sition displayed the greatest impatience.
General Woyler. the Minister of "War.
announeed in the Chamber that he had
decided upon energetic steps to suppress
the disorders, but that some of the news
sent by correspondents was exaggerated.
Senor Mmencta, manager of the DIarlo,
of Barcelona, who arrived from Barce
lona this morning, spoke in defense of
the correspondents, -who, he said, always
told the truth, while the government de
olved the Queen and the country. Senor
) urheta said he considered that the pub
V atlon of false news should be punished
bv court-martial, and declared Barcelona
t be iu a state of continued alarm.
Svnor Gonzales declared that the censor
h id topped telegrams describing the slt
tu'ion at Barcelona. Continuing his re
marks, the manager of the Diario reiter
ated that the Diario had dealt with press
mis-s in a manner which most reac
tionary governments would not counte
nance, and aid that in many cases the
addressees of the messages were not in
formed that their telegrams had been
Mopped.
According to the best available in
formation, the movement for a general
strike throughout Spain has failed. Tho
leaders of this movement counted upon
the fact that the strength of the army
had been reduced by tho recent dlsband
ment of 35,000 trained troops who have
lcen replaced by conscripts, and upon the
expected support from, the trades unions
'broughout the country- The prompt
measures taken by General "Wcyler, how
ever, had a deterrent effect and the emis
saries sent from Barcelona to all the
leading Industrial towns did not meet
with the expected response, except in
a comparatively few caes. The bulk of
the trade unions declined to join the gen
eral strike, on the ground that their
financial resources were not sufficient to
hold out any length of time and further
that the Republican opposition political
parties deprecated a general strike and
that the Socialists were equally averse
thereto. Pablo Iclesias. the leader of
tho Spanish Socialists, in his paper. El
Socialism, declares that a general strike
might at some future time be beneficial.
He points out that the four previous
and premature attempts were shown to
be such badly prepared and equipped en
terprises that they only made the con
dition of the workmen more unfavorable.
Other prominent Socialists condemn the
movement.
Official dispatches received hero from
Barcelona still df ny that the troops there
have met with serious resistance or that
any need has occurred for tho use of
artillery. They admit that one striker
was killed yesterday in an attack mado
on the police with a view to preventing
the arrest of revolutionists. Private dis
patches received here say that the Cap-t.iin-General
of Barcelona assembled the
in wsimper correspondents there and
recommended that they exercise the
greatest prudence in sending out news.
A dispatch to the Heraldo from Man
rsa t&) miles from Barcelona) says that
I ubllc opialon there is inclining strongly
toward Carlism
1'ortj Killed sit Ilnrcelnnn.
BARCELONA. Fb. 20. Forty persons
have b'en killed since the disturbances
broke out here. The strikers today at
tacked the jail in an attempt to rescue
thrtr imprisoned comrades, but they were
repulsed ly the troops after a number of
rioters had been killed or wounded.
The oruinarv necessaries of life are
failing, and the distress is becoming ac
centuated. The strikers are said to be
receiving large sums of money from Lon
don. In the neighboring towns the disturb
ances are spreading and increasing
gravoly.
The predominance of bayonets here has
had due effect, and the most turbulent
spirits have heen driven off the streets.
Outwardly the city is resuming an as
pect of comparative quiet. The leading
citizens are joining the military and
civil authorities in restoring order. The
Captain-General has ordered the news
papers to resume publication, and has
instructed the owners of public vehicles
again to engage in their regular work.
If the printers reiuse to work, their
names and residences are to be handed
to the .Captain-General, who will deal
-with Uicm. All drivers declining to take
out vehicles will be deprived of their
licenses.
SAGASTA THIICATD.VS TO 1XESIGX
jf Wcyler' Request Tiint lie Be
Given xt Free Ilnnd Is Granted.
LONDON. Feb, 2L It Is announced In a
special dispatch from Madrid that Gen
eral Wcyler. the War Minister, is urging
tho Queen Regent to give him a free hand,
in dealing with the "rebels in Catalonia,"
and that Premier Sagasta threatens to
resign if General Weyler's request Is
granted. The Queen Regent is said to
favor General Weyler's plan. The Pre
mier, General Sagasta, announced today
that the Chambers will not be prorogued
unless tho opposition obstructs the gov
ernment's action by continually raising
debates on the present labor troubles in
Spain.
Dispatches received from Barcelona
and Madrid, and from various frontier
towns in close touch with the
scenes of tho disturbances In Spain,
quite discredit the sensational dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph Company saying
that a fierce battle had been fought be
tween the troops and rioters in a suburb
of Barcelona; that the artlllpry raked
street after street, and that 500 peoplo
were reported to have been killed or
-wounded on both sides. As a matter of
fact, up to last evening tho total number
of persons killed throughout the disturb
ances was only 40.
Advices received here direct from Bil
bao, Valadolld, Corunna. Gljon and other
Industrial centers of Spain, show that
the attitude of the miners and other
workers Is distinctly threatening. Tho
greatest excitement prevails everywhere,
and the general situation is extremely
grave. The garrisons of Burgos and
Vittorla have been ordered to be In readi
ness to start for Saragossa at a moment's
notice. All the railroads arc guarded by
troops.

Langlin arrived, but there were no signs
of such a visit. Tho buildings erected by
the British expedition in 1ST4 were found
intact, but badly In ned of repairs. The
island had an immense population of rab

occasions.
The MIowera brought 2000 carcasses of
frozen mutton, the first received from
Australia in over a year.
Chamberlain's Laclc of Tact.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Strictures of the
Canadian press on the reply of Colonial
Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to the
Welsh delegation of Patagonlan agricul
turists, who wish to emigrate to Canada,
are considered well founded by prominent
Canadians here, says the Tribune's Lon
don correspondent. They do not reproach
him for any feeling of unfriendliness to
the Dominion, but chnrge him with lack
of tact in discriminating sharply between
Canada and South Africa, They assert
that when the Dominion Government of
fered to do as much for the unfortunate
Welsh colonists stranded In Patagonia,
Mr. Chamberlain ought to have avoided
the Implication that the aid of the Imper

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. A severe

the National capital Is absolutely cut

communication north of Baltimore and Is
compelled to depend on uncertain wires to
Richmond and Atlanta for reaching the
country at large. Aside from some dam
age to wires, the storm did no injury, the
sleet not being heavy enough to do much
harm to the trees. The storm came from
the South and In traveling north the rain
turned into sleet and snow as It struck,

night and day by the rlvermen. and
early warnings are to be sent out when
it begins to move. It is still hoped that
the rain will cease and that the thaw
will be a slow one. so that the Ice may
melt and move out slowly.
Up to midnight no movement has taken

GROTON, Mass., Feb. 21. Theodoro
Roosevelt, Jr.. who has been ill with
pneumonia for two Tveeks in the Groton
School infirmary, is bound for Washington
tonight. Bundled to his eyes with
blankets, he was taken in a covered
sleigh from the infirmary to tho special
train which has been In readiness at the
Groton station several days. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Dr.
P. M. Rlxey. whllo In another convey
ance was Miss Alice Roosevelt. A light
snow was falling at the time. The de
parture of the party was so unexpected
that not a dozen persons were on the
station platform when the train pulled
cut. The party occupied the private car
"Convey," and the intention was to have
it taken through to Providence and there
attached to the Federal Express.
The decision to take young Roosevelt
to Washington was made during lunch at
1 o'clock. Dr. Warren, the school physi
cian, all the morning had been opposed to
a change of the patient at this time. Dr.
Rixey gave his opinion that the boy
would stand the journey all right and
that the weather at this time Is probably
no worse than It would be tomorrow or
possibly Sunday, Judging from the weather
forecast. At luncheon. Dr. Warren re
luctantly consented to allow the patient's
removal. It was Mrs. Roosevelt's wish to
have her son in Washington as soon as
he could be moved with safety. Until
this morning the arrangements had been
made for the party's return Saturday, but
this neon. In the discussion. Dr. Rlxey
pointed out that if the start were delayed
until morning, the stoim might cause de
lay along tho road, especially If the snow
was heavy.
Immediately after lunch, baggage was
prepared for the departure of the party
and when, at 4 o'clock, all were driven
to the station, very few in the school
knew of It. Dr. Penbody was not In
formed until nearly time for the good-byes
to be said.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21. Henry Norman
has succeeded in Inducing Mr. Balfour to
throw some fresh light on the famous
Spion Kop dispatches, says a London hls.
patch to the Tribune. It now seems that
Sir Redvers Buller contented himself with
forwarding Sir Charles Warren's account
of the battle, with two opinions of Gen
eral Warren's conduct. In both of these
General Buller adversely criticised his sec
ond in command, but the one in which he
really spoke his mind was marked "not
necessarily for publication." General Bul

Mrs. Nichols Mnkc a Statement,
Telling to the Best of Her Knowl
edge the Causes "Which Led to the
Trouble.
Tho following facts, says the Belfast,
Me., Republican Journal, have never be
fore been published. Tho incident caused
much comment at the time and it was
thought worth while to make an investi
gation. With this end in view, a re
porter called upon Mrs. Elisabeth Nich
ols at her home In Searsport, Me., and ob
tained the following information. Sho
said:
"About six years ago my nerves broke
down completely and my whole system,
became a wreck. I suffered dreadfully
from Indigestion and my eyes -were very
weak. I had frequent fainting spells.
Finally my sight failed me entirely and
I had to have my eyes bandaged all tho
time."
"This state of affairs," she continued,
"lasted for a year, when I was forced to
go to bed and stay there constantly. X
became so weak that I could take only
two tablespoonfuls of milk at a time. X
could not feed myself and sleep was al
most Impossible. This lasted another
year and I was then In such a state ofi
nervous exhaustion that when my peo
ple wanted to make my bed they could
move mo only a few inches at a time. I
had become extremely thin and was still
losing flesh. I had tried nearly all tho
medicines In the market, but failed to
find any that helped me."
"But how were you cured?" asked
the Interviewer.
"I'll tell you. My condition finally;
became so critical that my family ex
pected me to dlo any day. Then myj
husband bought some Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and three
days after I began taking them I could
eat without assistance, and In a week r
could sit up and be dressed. After X1
had taken five boxes I began to gain,
flesh. I continued the use of Pink PHI3
for Pale Peoplo until I had taken ten
boxes and was able to help my family
pack up and move to a new homo. After
reaching there I took two more boxes of.
tho pills and I havo been ablo to work
hard and take care of my family of fivo
peoplo ever since.
"It is now four years since I stopped
taking medicine and if I ever havo to
take any more It will bo Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Three of my
neighbors havo taken the pills with good
results and I positively consider them
tho best remedy there is."
The above statement was sworn to by
Mrs. Nichols at the reporter's request
before Charles F. Adams, a notary pub
lic, at Searsport.
Not only have many cases similar to
this been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People but equally won
derful results have been accomplished
by them In a large number of diseases
arising from thin blood or shattered
nerves, two fruitful causes of almost
every 111 to which flesh Is heir. They
are a positive cure for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu
matism, nervous headache, the after
effects of grip, of fevers and of other
acute diseases, palpitation of tho heart,
palo and sallow complexions and all
forms of weakness either In male or
female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People are also a specific for troub
les peculiar to females. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from worry, overwork or excesses of
whatever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People arc sold In boxes
(never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2 30, and may be had of
all druggists, or direct by mall from Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec
tady. N. Y. Be sure to get tho genuine;
substitutes never cured anybody;
tho Atlantic are on the committee. The
Duke of Abercorn Is one of the English
men referred to, and Senator Chauncey -i.
Depew on the American side. All tho
members of tho Union, tho Knickerbocker
and the Metropolitan Clubs of New York,
as well as the other leading clubs of
America, will be admitted without ballot.
Great things are expected of this club,
as it Is thought it will bo a great con
venience to American men who have not
the uso of a clubhouse in London of any
importance. The club will bo in working
order before tho coronation. A splendid,
site ought to be obtained. Tho premises,
up to the present, have been used as a, ho
tel and restaurant, but not with any great
success.
