the heavy veil of the Spanish censor
ship another drama may be occurring.
Vague reports of an assumption of
power over the whole nation by the
army have been received here. No di
rect word has come from Spain In four
days.
When the censorship curtain dropped
last Tuesday, a crisis was seen be
tween Premier Dato and the army
leaders, and one of the last dispatches
received direct from Madrid quoted
Dato In denial of the report that the
Bilbao garrison had revolted. It was
the demands of the army leaders which
precipitated the crisis resulting in the
fall of the Romanones cabinet but It
was supposed these had been adjusted
when Premier Dato took hold.
Spain has been a hotbed of German
propaganda and all British newspapers
today attributed much of Spain's in

Washington, June 16. (U. P.) Re
sponding to the mandate of President
Wilson, the senate agriculture com
mittee today reported out the Lever
food control bill, putting the initial
fight on the measure directly up to
the senate.
The bill Is sent out of committee
without recommendation and will come
up for debate In the upper branch
early next week.
Advocates of the bill think that the
appropriation of $152,000,000 for ad
ministering food control is too high
and an agreement will be reached im
mediately to reduce this sum.
Two Debates Oa at Once
Otherwise the bill will be pushed
on the floor of the senate as it is
Introduced in the house and owing to
the fact that the house begins consid
eration of the measure Monday, the
debate will be carried on in both
branches at the same time.
Senator Hardwlck, Immediately after
the measure was reported, declared
he would raise the constitutional point
that the measure could not originate In
the senate. Hardwlck, Smith of Georgia
and Heed of Missouri will constitute
the nucleus of intensive opposition to
the bill.
