TROUBLE STILL AT BARCELONA
Orricial Reports That City Is Tran
quil Are Sot Accepted.
PARIS. Aug. 1. Though official Spain
minimizes the Catalonia Insurrection
and Insists that the revolt has been
crushed, a far different story emanates
from the frontier. Refugees and trav
elers declare the revolt is still rampant,
and that desperate combats continue at
Barcelona, where 50 revolutionists are
reported to have been wounded In a
conflict that occurred as late as Satur
day night.
Information concerning the actual
situation In Barcelona and the rest of
the province Is rarer tonight than ever
before. Although some of the news
from the frontier Is from revolutionary
sources, and therefore open to suspi
cion, more reliable Intelligence leads
to the belief that, although Barcelona
is calmer, the Insurrectionists have
taken to the suburbs and to outlying
districts, where they are sowing seeds
of revolt and are inflaming the popu
lace to maintain the straggle to the
bitter end. '
Workmen Stir Up Trouble).
Barcelona province is in the bands of
prowling bands of workmen, heavily
armed, who occupy the railroads and
the highways to pscvent communica
tion, and who refuse entrance to new
comers. Cassan de la Selva is in the hands of
the revolutionaries, and at Palmos,
wh'ire the monastery was fired and the
monks tortured, the situation is de
scribed as alarming and the lives of
foreigners endangered.
The opinion In semi-official circles
here concerning Spain's Internal situa
tion is pessimistic, and the belief is ex
pressed that the trouble is not yet over.
Official Madrid announces that Bar
celona is tranquil.
Moors Win Again.
From Melilla comes the news of an
other Spanish convoy being ambushed
and several of its officers being wound
td before the troops succeeded in ex
tricating themselves.
Rumors are afloat that a general
strike will be launched tomorrow at
Madrid, and that a strike Is being or
ganized in the Blscayan region. All
persons subject to military duty are
forbidden to leave Spain, and measures
have been adopted to forestall an out
break in the other province ef the
country.
Hilled and Wounded 3000.
Denial Is given to the report that the
commander of the Madrid garrison is
hostile. Another official statement
savs that the number of victims of the
fighting at Barcelona is unknown, but
frontier reports, one of -them of al
leged authoritative inspiration, declare
the killed or wounded will -aggregate
on. and that the number of Insurrec
tionists summarily shot was between
44 and 1 3S.
CITY IS LIRE BATTLEFIELD
Situation More Serious With Rebels
Fortified In fountains.
LONDON. Aug. 2.-The Dally Tele
graphs Madrid correspondent, in a story
dated Friday night, declares that though
the military is now In control at Bar
celona, the situation is still more difficult,
" Inasmuch as the anarchists and revolu
tionaries have fled to the mountnlns and
nearby villages, where they will form
lnnumerableentera of disaffection.
The revolutionary movement, accord
ing to the correspondent, is non ex
tending, to all the industrial towns f
along the coast, and there the rein
forced are received with rifle volleys.
It la expected there will be terrible
resistance in the mountain districts and
villages.
"Numerous rrests," continues the
correspondent, "have been made in
Madrid, with the Intention of prevent
ing a general strike, which, however,
will be proclaimed Monday.
"Montjuich Fortress at Barcelona is full
of prisoners, awaiting court-martial. Ac
cording to the Captain-General's estimate
a thousand persons were killed and 5SX
wounded during the suppression of the
revolt In the Paralello quarter, where
most of the workmen live. The revo
lutionaries took women, old men and
children from the asylums and placed
them In front of the barricades In order
to prevent the soldiers from fifing and
to give them time for flight. Eventually
Paralello had to be bombarded. The
punishment was severe.
"Tiie city resembled a battlefield.
"There la an unconfirmed rumor that
two large local forces of Irregular mili
tia and forest guards.- making together
20.000 men. have made common cause
with the revolutionaries.'
The Dally Telegraph's Barcelona cor
respondent, telegraphing Sunday, says:
"Everything Is quiet, and General
Santiago regards the trouble as ended."
"I traveled from Barcelona to Gerona
afoot and on horseback, and thence by
railway, thus traversing Catalonia, and
found that it was a set of small auton
omous, but temporary republics." says
the Ifclly Telegraph's Perplgnan corre
spondent, telegraphing Sunday.
"I found a horrible tale of slaughter.
Incendiarism and rapine from all quar
ters of the province."

GRADE IS BEIN'G WIDEXED OX
LIX"E TO VANCOUVER.
Material From St. John Cat Is Being
Used to Fill In Columbia
Slough Trestle.
"While every railroad makes an effort
to use the material taken from cuts to
make its fills, few roads have been as
fortunate as the Spokane. Portland &
Seattle In the close Juxtaposition of the
portions of its line where this can be
done. An example of this happy economy
and saving of long hauls of roadbed
material is furnished In the St. John
cut and the Willamette and Columbia
River fills on the line befreen Vancouver,
Wash., and Portland.
When this line was first opened there
was a long stretch of trestle north from
St. John to the bridge over the Columbia
Slough. This trestle has now all been
filled .In and the embankment so made
widened until It carries a double track.
Sand taken from the St. John cut has
been used entirely in this work. with a
surfacing and ballasting of broken rock
taken from the rock cuts along the Co
lumbia. In this manner all long hauls of
roadbed material have been saved, and
also a ready dumping ground found for
the material removed from the cut.
The St. John cut is now almost down
to grade, the main traffic track showing
a, rise of but 14 feet, and being at one
side of the completed line of road. This
cut is being rapidly widened, and the
material now being removed Is beinK
used to widen the embankment along the
shores of the Willamette from North
Portland to the switch leading to the
bridge over the river. As soon as this
embankment work Is completed, double
track will be laid, rock ballasted with
stone from the Columbia River rock
cuts, and then the first section of the
new double track road between Portland
and Tacoma will be completed."
Members of the North Bank engineering
force, who have charge of the work, ex
pect to have It completed by this Fall,
greatly simplifying traffic dispatching be
tween this city and Vancouver. This
part of the line Is now greatly congested,
trains of the Astoria A Columbia River,
North Bank and Northern Pacific all
using the single track as far as the Wil
lamette bridge, both for freight and pas
senger work, as well as for grading. The
completion of the double track line 'for
this section will virtually do away with
dispatching problems, as the road Is to
be protected with track-ofrcnit block sig
nals. TWO DIE IN DEATH PACT
WOMAX SHOOTS HUSBAXD AXD
THEX DRIXRS ACID.
Clasps Dead Arms About Her and
Pair Is Found Thus Motive Is
Thought Lack of Money.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 1. (Special.)
Carrying out a suicide pact. Mrs. W. A.
Findley shot her husband his morning
in their apartments at 3040 Tlover street,
and then took cyanide of potassium her
self. Before she died she carefully ar
ranged his arms in a loving attitude
about her. then embraced the corpse,
and thus the remains were found clasped
together.
She seems to have hidden the revolver
with which she killed Findley. but the
glass containing poison dregs was found
beside the bed. Acquaintances attribute
the murder and suicide to insane and un
necessary Jealousy on the part of the
woman. The pair were devotedly attached
to' one another and seemed to care only
to be together, seldom indulging in out
side enjoyment.
The police think the couple were finan
cially embarrassed and agreed to die by
common corsent. Friends assert, how
ever, that their monetary condition was
not so overwhelmingly dismal as to call
for murder and suicide.
