ATTACK MORE CONVENTS
Strikes Expected to Break Ont in
Madrid and Basque Provinces,
and Troops Go Thither Many
Keels Have Been Executed.
PARIS, July O. A Barcelona dispatch
to th. Journal, dated July 31. says:
"Testerday afternoon new collisions oc
curred and the soldiers were repulsed.
Assaults were directed against the con
vents of the Conceptionists and tho
Daughter of Mary. Many were wounded
in the Ir.wer quarters of the city."
A Madrid. special to the Figaro says:
"All is not yet over in Catalonia, but
the impression here is that calm exists.
Nevertheless the fear lives that the rev
olutionary movement possibly will extend
to workmen in new centers."
ADVERSE NEWS SUPPRESSED
But Strikes Are Expected to Reach
Madrid and Basque Provinces.
SAN SEBASTIAN. Spain. July SI.
By Way of the French Frontier.) No
news Is allowed to be published from
Barcelona except that favorable to the
government, but reliable private re porta
say that the revolutionists still hold a
large part of the city and that the ar
tillery has not succeeded in driving them
out. At the same time the revolutionary
movement Is spreading to the Basque
provinces and is expected to burst into
flame when the general strike begins on
Monday. An army corps commanded by
i;eneral Burgos has arrived at Bilboa to
suppress the strike.
Meanwhile the K00O troops are holding
tlifc part of Barcelona which they have
won and have Instituted a reign of terror
of their own. An authoritative person
age declared tonight that 10 courts-martial
sat continuously throughout Thurs
day and Friday and that the number of
revolutionists condemned and shot Is esti
mated at 1U0. About 3000 revolutionists
were killed or wounded by machine guns
or rifle fire.
1 EROCIOUS DRAMA EXACTED
Fury of Barcelona Reds Aimed
Slot U y at Monks and Nuns.
PARIS, July 31. Although all the cen
sored dispatches from Madrid agree that
General Brandos, the military command
er at Barcelona, has ruthlessly crushed
the revolution there, executing many ring
leaders and that the government is now
in control of the situation, reports filter
ing out at Cerbere, on the French fron
tier, none of which, however, was later
than noon on July 2y. Indicate that the
mob until then had the upper hand and
that nothing in history with the exception
of the Commune approached the ferocious
drama being enacted. AIL the reports
agree that the movement was skillfully
organized and broke like a bolt from a
clear sky. Three facts stand out prom
inently. First, the troops In the earliest Btages
refused to fire on the mob, either because
they were numerically inferior or be
cause they were in sympathy with the
mob: second, the movement was distinct
ly revolutionary and anti-clerical and,
therefore, the fury of the mob was vented
almost entirely against the church and its
representatives, private property being
generally spared.
Eye-witnesses saw the populace every
" where acclaiming the troops, while curs
ing and fighting the police and the civil
guard and the crijes were "Down with the
government!" "Down with the King!"
"Long live the republic!"
Stories of the ferocity of the mob
toward church property and the priests,
monks and nuns are Incredible. The
monks who could not escape through the
subterranean passages in the monasteries
were beaten and killed. The nuns fleeing
from the burning convents were driven
back half-naked through the 6treets and
the priests, it is reported, were shot at
the steps of the altar. It is even stated
that the mangled bodies of monks were
carried on poles through the streets by
10,000 people and that the captains-general
were powerless to interfere. The revolu
tionary committee directed everything.
Notwithstanding this anti-clerical ferocity
other reports intimate that the Carlists
who stand for clerical reaction in Spain
had a hand in the organizing of the up
rising. Special dispatches from Barcelona
ay the situation there continues to
Improve. The troops have dispersed
rioters who were seeking to relight
the ruins of convents. The barricades
near the Saraleto Hospital, a strong
revolutionary rallylng-point. have been
leveled by cannon. Kight thousand
men have arrived to reinforce the Bar
celona garrison.
Railroad service has been resumed
between Port Bou and Gerona, but
communication to Barcelona is still
cut. The French consul at Port Bou
says he does not believe the movement
Is anti-governmental or anarchistic,
but that it is purely anti-clerlcaL
The Madrid ' correspondent of the
Figaro had an Interview with Senor
lAclerva. the Spanish Minister of the
Interior, in which the Minister said:
"The Insurrection at Barcelona was
of terrible gravity. I doubt if there
jtti been anything so terrible since the
Commune the battle in the streets
with cannon, incendiarism, the pillage
of convents, explosion of dynamite and
the destruction of the railroad noth
tr. g was missing."
TAXATION CAISE OF REVOLT
Tatnlonians Take I'p Arms to Get
Fair Conditions.
CFRBEKK. France. July 31. Spanish
refugees arriving here say the Carlists
ere attempting to take over the leader
ship of the mox-ement in Catalonia, and
that Don Jaime ts expected to place him
self at the head of the rebellion.
The refugees explained that the Cata
lonians. who are tlie most industrious
people In Spain, have long complained
that they were exorbitantly taxed for the
benefit of the other regions, and that the
discontent is deep-seated. They say the
t'atalonlaus nave not shown opposition
to the war in Morocco but only to what
they regard as an expedition for the
benefit of private Interests which entails
the listless expenditure of life and in
creased taxation.

HENDAYE. France. July 31. Spanish
refugees here made violent manifestations
during the night. The Spanish Consul at
tempted to intervene, but he was howled
down. The crowds were "dispersed here

The French government has taken
measures to compel Spanish refugees to
leave the frontier so as to prevent the
possible organization of an expedition
from French territory.
Shell Moors at Alhucemas.
ALHUCEMAS, Morocco, July 31.
The resumption of fighting between

field during the previous day's fighting.
LUMBER VESSEL SINKS
STEAM SCHOONER WINNEBAGO
FOUNDERS ON COAST.
Built on Great takes, Ship Hits Rock
Off Mendocino and Goes
Down at Once.
PORT ARENA, Cal.. July 31. The
steam schooner Winnebago, bound from
Everett, Wash., to San Francisco, went
ashore early today off the Mendocino
coast, and will prove a total loss. Cap
tain William A. Treanor, his wife and
four children, and the 23 members of the
crew reached shore unharmed in the
schooner's two boats.
The Winnebago, laden with over 1.500.000
feet of lumber, was groping her way
through a dense fog at 2:30 o'clock this
morning when she struck. The vessel
immediately began to settle at the stern,
and orders were given to clear away the
boats. The captain and his family suc
ceeded In savi.ng their more valuable ef
fects, and the !! persons on board were
divided between tho two small boats.
Within a few moments the schooner
went down by the stern, settling until
only her bow appeared above the water.
Her deckload of lumber was washed
away as she went down. It is believed
that the vessel grounded In such man
ner as to tear out her bottom.
The two boats effected a landing with
out difficulty near the Point Arena light
house, less than half a mile distant.
When daylight came It was seen that the
Winnebago had gone ashore on Wash
Rock, scarcely a quarter of a mile from
shore.
The Winnebago was a schooner of 1091
tons, built in 1903 at St. Clair, Mich. Shd
was owned by the Coast Shipping Com
pany, of San Francisco, and was valued
at JHO.vOO.
Vessel Had Heavy Cargo.
SEATTLE, July 31. The Winnebago
left Everett July 27 with a cargo of lum
ber and coal forCaliforniaports. She car
ried about 200.000 feet of lumber from
the Mukilteo mill consigned to its own
order at San Pedro, also 100 poles for
Hueneme, Cal., and 125 cedar poles for
San Luis Obispo from Everett shippers.
The remainder of her cargo was taken
at Tacoma.

Richard Koehler Will Erect
Building at Fourteenth
and Washington.
WILL PLAN FOR FUTURE
Owner Will Put Up Three-Story
Structure Now, but Provision
Will Be Made for More
Floors Later.
Meaning the demolition Of another
ancient frame building of Portland and
another Important step In downtown Im
provement, a three-story brick building
will be eroded immediately on the south
east corner of Fourteenth and Washing
ton streets. The building will be con
structed of brick and rest on a founda
tion which in years to come will be able
to withstand the weight of many more
stories if the owner so desires. That the
site would be cleared at once for the new
building was announced yesterday by
Richard Koehler. general purchasing
agent of the Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion Company, who has owned the prop
erty for many years.
Assurance that the Koehler building
will be constructed at once Is regarded
as the greatest stimulus to Improvement
of upper Washington street given in
many montliB as It will leave only one
corner bare of a modern birildlng in the
block extending from Thirteenth street
to Fourteenth street on Washington
street. At Thirteenth and Washington
stands the Franklin Hotel, owned by
Mrs. Gearin, and adjoining will be the
Koehler building, directly across the street
from the Ramapo Hotel. The vacant lot
next the Ramapo on the east will be the
sole bare site of the block and as it is
owned by Bdgar id. Lazarus, wrio also
owns the Ramapo, It Is believed its im
provement in the near future with a big
and modern building will be induced by
the erection of the Koehler structure.
The site at Fourteenth and Washington
on the southeast comer is at present oc
cupied by a three-story frame building
which at one time was the residence of
Mr. Koehler. In late years It was trans
formed into a. business' building and now
is occupied by two cleaning establish
ments on the' ground floor, the upper
Tories forming a lodging-house. The en
tire building was leased by Mr. Koehler
and subleased All the tenants were
notified last week to vacate the premises
by August 1 and It is presumed razing
of the frame structure will be under way
within a few days. Plans for the new
building are as yet Incomplete but will
leave the architect's hands before the
end of the week.
The new structure will occupy SS feet
on Fourteenth street and 100 feet on
Washington street, the dimensions of the
site, and the ground floor will be re
served for stores. The upper stories will
be fitted as a lodging-house of the same
type as the Franklin Hotel adjoining, and
though not yet decided, the front rooms
of one of the upper stories may be ar
ranged as busings ofhcea
While the new building will not con
form exactly with the lines of the Frank
lin Hotel its basement will be so con
structed that, at least three more stories,
may be added to the building if found
necessary. The Franklin Hotel's founda
tion is heavily constructed indicating
that the half block may yet boast much
higher buildings.
