OFFICIAL NEWS CONFLICTS
Government Declares Revolt Put
Down, Yet Seized All Means of
Communication to Prevent
I Sending of Orders.
B.4TON""Q France, Aug. 2. With all
trades unions In northern Spain declarin
a. general strike today, and with several
communes in -Catalonia having pro
claimed & republic, conditions in Alfonso
kingdom are anything but satisfactory
While the government on the one hand
sends out reassuring dispatches to the
effect that It has the revolt In Barcelona
and neighboring districts thoroughly
tinder control, on the other hand it ad
mlts that it has seized the telegraph and
telephone lines in the Biscayan provinces,
In an effort to keep the revolutionists
and strikers from communication with
each other.
This conflict of official reports, taken
together with the fact that the munici
pality of Paiainoa has declared itself
free and Independent, lead unbiased out
slders to believe that the revolt is any
thlr.g but supressed, and that while revo
lutionists may be cowed In Barcelona it
self, they are waiting In small bands In
the hills for more reassuring times, and
will then reassert themselves.
N'ews Is Suppressed.
Much difficulty still exists in getting
accurate news of the conditions within
the kingdom, as the government has for
bidden the transmission of all -newspapers
dispatches, and has suppressed
majority of the newspapers. It is known,
however, that the working classes
throughout the kingdom are greatly ex
cited, and that they are ready to join
anv movement that promises relief.
Reports received here direct from Mad
rid say King Alfonso Is greatly depressed
over the internal situation. He desired to
throw his personal popularity in ttie scale
and it was with difficulty that he could
be dissuaded from going to Barcelona In
person. Premier Maura told bim it would
be equivalent to suicide to enter that hot
bed of revolt.
Slight Progress Reported.
The facts as to the situation at Bar
celona still remain somewhat shrouded
as no correspondent has yet reached the
city, which la Isolated by land and sea.
Nevertheless it appears certain that Gen
eral Santiago has restored a semblance
of order in the city and today a serious
effort to resume work will be made. At
the solicitation of the authorities, the
employers of Barcelona, have agreed to
offer a premium of a week's wage to
every person coming back to work.
At what cost of life and property com
parative tranquility has been restored in
Barcelona, however, still remains un
known. Refugees speak of the "terrible
slaughter" and estimate the dead at
thousands. Whether or not the ringlead
ers who were captured and condemned by
courtmartial have actually been executed
Is not yet clear. It is known that Emil
iano Igleslas, editor of the Progresso, was
shot without trial.
Provinces Still In Revolt
It seems certain that the outlying conn
try still is in the hands of the revolu
tionists and even the offclal dispatcher
from Madrid speak of the necessity of re
storing order in the interior provinces
and of the difficulty of disjoding the
"anarchists," who have taken refuge in
the mountains. Some reports insist that
a republic already has been proclaimed
and that a regular Junta is directing the
operations of the revolutionists.
The Matin's correspondent, who has
visited Kugures, Gerona. Lablsbal, Pala-
frugall, Palmos and other towns In Spain,
but who did not reach Barcelona, says
the temper of the people is bitter and
that if the revolt is suppressed It easily
will be rekindled.
Roads All Guarded.
In the small towns, he says, the In
habitants have formed bands which ara
guarding the roads and the railroad
tracks in order to prevent the dispatch of
reinforcements to Barcelona.
At Palmos. he saw the ruins of the
monastery of the Marists. He said wom
en sacked the place while the men pur
sued the monks, two of whom were
caught and subjected to unmentionable
indignities.
The dispatch adds that Pueblo Nuevo,
a fashionable watering place near Va
lencia, has been entirely destroyed and
a number of leading inhabitants shot.
Reports from Catalonia say the ad
vanced political parties have condemned
King Alfonso and Premier Maura to
death.
Executions Are Henled.
The military authorities today denied
categorically that the revolutionists sen
tenced to death at Barcelona already have
been executed. They say the sentences
are awaiting the approval of the Minister
of War, and that in the meantime the
prisoners are being held In the dungeons
of Fort Munjuich and Citaranus. Those
of the prisoners who were wounded are
in hospitals.
The government announces also that
the work of restoring railroad commu
nication in Catalonia is proceeding act
ively and that the lines between Barce
lona. Cerbere, Saragossa and Valencia
probably will be re-established Wednes
day. MVS' GRAVES BROKEN' OPEN
Refugees From Barcelona Tell of
Shocking Acts of Rioters.
MARSEILLES. Aug. 1 French mer
chants, passengers on the steamer- Ville
de Bacta. ' which left Barcelona Sunday,
witnessed the week of insurrection and
fighting. They say that the trouble start
ed as a protest against the war In Africa,
but that the anarchists Joined the move
ment and that the bloody clash between
the workmen and the police transformed
a simple strike into an insurrection.
The rioters showed great bitterness and
raged against church property, and even
broke open sepulchers, carried out the
bodies of nuns. paraded with them through,
the street, and then burned them in the
public squares. This caused the reports
to be circulated that living nuns were
being maltreated, and their bodies car
ried aloft through the streets.

in some quantities the base of operation
was transferred to Ecola, and the shoot
ing was done from there at a distance
