MADRID, July 30. Tho abrupt
severance of friendly relations of
Spain with the Vatican brings King
AlfoiiMo into the foreground of Eu
ropean politics toilay. Opponents of
the youni' monarch have doubted the
sincerity of the king's anti-religious
actions from the time the elm roll and

give him credit, rather thnn Premier

The action of the cabinet is ex
pected to throw the kingdom into
turmoil. White a great number of
tho industrial population favor tho
supremacy of state over the church,
there are thousands of Spaniards
who believe the church should have
etpinl rights with the civil govern
ment. Should a further split oc

throw in their lot with Don Jaime,
the Cnrlist pretender to the throne,
who already has announced his wil

Captain Reese Foller, lato of tfce
Nicarnguan army, arrived tonifrht,

tack the town. All the saloons in
Palestine are closed. No guns are
