3 TnE MORXiyG OREGOXIAy. SATURDAY, JULY 31. 1909. - f -' mm m mmmm m i m - i FRANCE" DESIRES : POWERS TO HELP Believes Peace of Europe Is Threatened by Present Conditions in Spain. WOULD SUPPRESS REVOLT England, However, Poe Not Want Any Intervention, and Ieniea That Big Nations Have Plan to Join In Movement. PARIS, July SO. Tha news of the ter rible defeat Inflicted on the Spanish forces by Moors at Melilla. and the con firmation of the extent of the Insurrec tion in Spain, causes apprehension here. The triumph of the Moors In the Riff rountry perhaps will Inflame all of (slam, and lead to an uprising in Algeria and the Soudan. The attack upon French troops at Colom-Bechar the other day is Bow regarded here as a direct result of fee events on the Riff coast. Some of the Paris newspapers, therefore, boldly uirgrest that In self-interest It Is the duty of Europe to come to the rescue. The Eclair says it is impossible for Eu rope to bow before the insolent, trium phant Moors, and that Christian civiliza tion cannot afford to allow Spain to be beaten. On the other hand, many news papers declare that the Melilla disaster recalls the muddle and Incapacity of every department in the Spanish govern ment during the Cuban war. These news papers advise the government at Madrid to make a virtue of necessity by prompt ly ending the adventure, as otherwise It will put an end to the Spanish govern ment. The Marquis del Munis, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, has transmitted a note to the French government formally declaring that the Riff campaign was not undertaken with the object of con quest, but solely to punish the Moors for their attacks on Spaniards, and their af front to the Melilla garrison. The Spanish ambassador, in an inter view today attributes the unheaval at Bercelona solely to the anarchists, and he la confident it will be promptly suppressed. He explains that the gov ernment Intends to satisfy the popular demand regarding obligatory military service and that It has already Intro duced a bill in the Senate for that pur pose. ffllDE TED SPA IX INTO AVAR after Reverses In Cuba and Philip pines, Spaniards Wanted Victory. PARIS. July SO It is learned that Spain's disavowal of any intention of con quest tn Africa was made at the specific request of France, In consequence of the circulation of reports that Spain had re re 1 red a mandate and the promise of sup port from France and England. The Madrid correspondent of the Temps lays he learns from authoritative sources that there is no question of a ministerial crista or the formation of a military cab inet. The correspondent says that King Al fonso has received from Marshals Lopez, Pomingues and Rivera and Generals Luque and Polavleja and more than 100 superior officers a tender of their services to aid in the suppression of the revolt In Catalonia. The French government today tele graphed instructions to the French mil itary commander In Algeria Instructing Mm to strengthen the French posts on the Moroccan frontier and to be prepared to act energetically In the event of the Moors In French territory attempting to Join the movement against Spain. The Madrid correspondent of the Temps reports that General Marina, commander of the military forces at Melilla, Is satis fied that he can meet the situation with the troops now at his disposal and the reinforcement which are now on their way to him. An unexplainahle statement attributed to htm Is that the Spanish death losses number of which 40 are officers, and the wounded number 60. of which 60 are officers. The text of this official telegram as made public yesterday by the War Of fice, gave a much greater casualty list. Private dispatches from Madrid say King Alfonso agreed with Premier Maura that after the humiliating loss of Cuba and the Philippines. Spain could not avoid the exemplary punishment of the Moors without admitting that she was a fallen state. Special newspaper correspondents who are trying to enter Spain at both ends of the Pyrenees are encountering great dif ficulty, and are being- turned back when ever dlscoreVe'd. HOLT W AR IS BEIXG PREACHED All Moors May Vnlte to Drive Chris tlans From Country. OnCTA, Morocco, July 30. The natives In the region surrounding this seaport are preparing to Join their fighting brethren on the heights before Melilla. A holy war Is boin preached from Ceuta to Moulmuga. and the whole coun try Is aflame with fanaticism. The posi tions of the Moors on Mont Ouruga. where 30 mo warriors are concentrated, are con sidered impregnable. STXTAX FEARS BILL FOR WAR Only One Thing Worries Moroccan Ruler Just at Present. TANGIER, Morocco, July 30. Advices received here from Fez say the armies of the pretender. Roghi. and Sultan Mulal Hafld are again fighting. Mulal Hartd's only concern in connec tion with the Riff troubles is that Spain will present htm with a Mil for the ex penses of the Spanish campaign. SPAIX ADMITS 800 KILLED Report, However, Thought to Refer to Preliminary Battle. MALAGA, Spain. July 90. A dispatch received here from Mehlla, dated July 2S, says: "The Spanish forces were today de feated by the Moors. The 3jinlarde lost 3d officers and SCO men were killed' This report is believed here to relate to the fighting of July 27, and not to a hew battle. DEAD CARRIED ON POLES (Continued F-om Flrtt Pa.) nd heads on long pole and were sing ing the Marseillaise and shouting. "The truth is. this movement undoubt edly is revolutionary and has been or jrnn tied and directed by persons of In fluence, who have not appeared up to the present and as to whose identity dls cretlon counsels silence." A Bpeciai from Madrid, dated Friday, states that more than 400 were killed In the revolutionary straggle at Barcelona. The situation was considered so serious that two regiments detailed to start for Melilla were ordered to remain in Madrid. A special from San Sebastian says that the troops have mastered the situation in Barcelona, where the casualty list num bers more than 1600. Seventy armed in surgents were captured there this morn ing and summarily shot. ' People Greet Soldiers. "The people acclaimed the soldiers with cries of "Long; live the army.' Down with the War Office.' "They were followed about the streets by crowds of women, who shook their hands and embraced the necks of their horses, crying: Ion will not go to war." "General Brandies was cheered to the echo, while 24,000 women waved their handkerchiefs at the troops on their way . to Gerona. From Barcelona I carry a vision of frenzied fighting In the streets, of the activity of the de voted Red Cross, of the churches burned, of altars and images wrecked, and the flight of monks and nuns to escape the fury of the mobs." FEAR REBEL LEADER'S RETUKX Spanish Government Trying; to Sup press Revolt Before Arrival. MADRID, July 30. Dispatches re ceived here today from the Captain- QUEEN OF SPAIN IS IN PITIFUL PLIGHT Alone and Friendless in Land Alien in Race and Religion. HATED BY SPANISH PEOPLE i Qnarrels With Husband, Whose Sub ject "Detest Her, and Now May Lose Crown and Life in' Civil Discord. LONDON'. July 30. (Special.) The pres ent uprising in Spain, which threatens to engulf that unhappy monarchy, serves to accentuate the pitiful plight of Queen SPAIN'S LUCKLESS QUEEN, WHO IS IN DANGER OF LOSING THRONE TO WHICH SHE WAS FORCED AGAINST HER WILL. to & :-; r t j QIKEN VICTOBIA OF SPAIN. General In charge of the government forces at Barcelona state that the re volt In that city is now put down, and that but a few scattered groups of rev olutionists xe still holding out in the suburbs. In official circles this report causes Intense relief, but in other cir cles there is a general tendency to dis credit it and to believe that the mes sage has been sent out merely to dis courage other revolutionary bodies, who have taken great heart from the fact that Alejandro le Reux, the leader of the revolutionists, is returning from Brazil to take active charge of the up rising. The government authorities fear the return of this man more than anything else, as he holds the workingmen's as sociations in the palm of his hand. Last year, after a break with the Cata lonlan solldarists. he was arrested and sentenced to two years' imprisonment, but escaped and fled to Brazil. His return will mean an active leader at the head of the present revolution: and it is the lack of a strong chief that has so far enabled the government troops to make what progress they have against the revolt. Barcelona today, according to reports that have gotten past the censor. Is tn a state of terror, half the people being paralyzed with fear, and half mad dened with blood. The slaughter In St. Martin's Square yesterday, when cavalrymen drove bands of revolution ists before machine guns and had them shot down, has added to the fires of re volt, and while many rebels were killed the number is not even esti mated those that remain have sworn vengeance, and the brutality of the slaughter has won many new recruits. Reports received from throughout Catalonia lay great stress upon the fury of the women, who fought side by side with the men everywhere. At Barcelona they fought behind the barricades with the men, urging them to fight to the death. Everywhere they resisted searches by gendarmes for re cruits for the reserves, barring the doors of their houses and firing at the soldiers from the windows. At Casa de la Salva the population surrounded and disarmed the civil guard and locked up the officials in the bar racks. Not only at Barcelona but throughout the province, church property was the special object of the popular fury. Horrible stories are recounted of the merciless fashion in which the churches and convents were sacked and burned. The Inmates of the Institutions were driven Into the fields to cries of "Down with the church." At Granollers. 16 miles, from Barcelona, two convents were burned. At Amer the Carmelite convent wis looted and burned. The Sisters narrow ly escaped with their lives. From many Interior points come re ports of not and incendiarism. But the movement is without the apparent central organisation of a leader. In the north there are fears that Don Jaime, the Carllst leader, will take ad vantage of the situation by renewing the Carllst movement against the dy nasty. ROYAL FAMILY HAS XOT FLED . . t Two Queens Remain at San Sebas tian, Belying Rnmor. SAX SEBASTIAN. Spain. July 90 (Via Hendaye.) The royal family la still at Mlramar Palace. The report that Queen Victoria, the Queen-mother, Maria Christina, and the royal family had crossed the frontier and gone to Bayonne until the crisis was over Is untrue and probably originated in the arrival of the royal automobile at Biarrlts with members of the court, bear ing dispatches to the Spanish Ambassa dor to France. Victoria. Used as a human pawn In the European political chese game, she was forced three years ago to renounce the man she loved and to marry King Alfonso. Torn from her English home, she was thrust among people whom she detested and who hate her with all the Latin vldictiveness for one not of their race and religion chiefly religion. Hatred Instead of Love. She had to give up her own faith and her own people; she won the enmity of the Spanish court and populace as an "irterloper" and a "foreigner," she has quarreled with her royal husband; she hates her mother-in-law, while the boy King reciprocates by hating his own mother-in-law Just as cordially, and she Is practically alone and friendless in the nation of which she Is Queen. Now, to crown her troubles, Spain Is in revolt, and the unhappy woman on the throne knows not whether she will have throne, cronn or even life when the civil war ends. Denied Joys of Home Life. Even the happiness of home life and the simple Joys of the domestic hearth are denied her, because the rigid rules of the Spanish court do not permit her to bring up her children herself, as she would wish. Instead, they must be tended and cared for by nurses and tutors and governesses and ladies in waiting. NOTED PREACHER HONORED Title of Doctor of Divinity Conferred on J. R. X. Boll, or Corvallis. COR V ALLI S, Or.. July 80. (Special.) Last evening the trustees of Philomath College, through President White, con ferred the dc-ee of doctor of divinity upon Rev. J. R. N. Bell, of Corvallis. Dr. Bell, who had been previously Invited to lecture before the collegiate body, took for his theme "Modern Aristocracy." The subject was treated so meritoriously that the lecture was taken in lieu of a thesis. President White, at the olose of the lec ture, requested Rev. Bell to arise and there for the first time officially notified him of the action of the board. The action of the board is somewhat remarkable for the reasons that Dr. Bell Is the only man in the We6t who received that honor from all the presidents and faculties of colleges and university assem bled at a state teachers' association, as was done tn Dr. Bell's case some 20 years ago tn the old Corvallis College. The title of reverend, as applied to ministers, has been declared by the Corvallis min isterial body as unfitting and Improper. Philomath College has been very sparing In conferring honorary degrees, having granted honorary degrees to three persons only In a history of 40 years. Citizens of Corvallis, who recognize Dr. Bell's scholarly attainments, his power as a pulpiteer and his genial character unite In hearty approval of the action of Philo math College.
