HOTBED OF ANARCHRY.
Spain Seemingly Filled with Bomb
Throwing "Reds."

MADRID, Nov. 12.-The authorities hav-
ing been informed that the Anarchists of
this city nave threatened to blow UP the
Bourse, all strangers will now be excluded
from that building unless they are provided
with special permits and are fully identi-
fed upon presentation of these permits.
Three Anarchists were arrested here to-
day at the instance of the police of BARGE
Iona, charged with completely in the recent
dynamite bomb outrage at ne Liceo Thea
ter. One of the Anarchists arrested to-day
is the keeper of q tavern where the An
archists of this city and other parts of
Spain have been in the habit of meeting.
The tavern keeper is suspected as having
acted as a sort of postmaster for the An
archistS. The authorities, it would appear,
have long had the tavern keeper under sus-
picion, but have not yet been able to con-
meet him in a satisfactory manner with any
Of the conspiracies Matched by the enemies
of society. If rumors are to be believed.
the arrests made to-day may lead to other
and very much more important raids upon
the part of the police. as it is reported that
a clew has at last been found to the loca-
ton of the head center of the Anarchist
conspiracy which, it is said, existed all
over Europe, and to have it's branches at
least In the United States. The govern
ment authorities are known to be in active
communication with the police of Paris,
London, Berlin and Vienna, and the report
the plot TO blow up the houses of Parlia-
ment. to the effect that there is q connec-
ton between the Anarchists of Europe and
those of Chicago is renewed
In future no reports of the trials of An
archists will be allowed to be published.
This step is taken in order to prevent the
escape of suspects, and in order that the in
formation obtained from prisoners may be
more readily used in furthering the arrest

people who say that it is lucky for the gov
eminent of Spain that the troubles in Me
lila are, to some extent, distracting the at
tention of the people from the spread of an
archy and from the weakness shown by the
authorities in dealing with this terrible
question. Spain, it would seem, is now
prevails in many quarters, as no one knows
where the next outbreak will occur: The re-
city to the effect that the Anarchists
threaten to blow up the bourse or Stock EX-
change, is said TO be only one OF a number
of such warnings received by the authorities,
and the people are beginning to believe that
PallaS, the Anarchist executed for attempt
ing the life of Gen. Martinez Campos, had
good ground for saying, almost with his dy-
ing breath, that his death would be avenged,
and intimating that a series Of dynamite
who are in sympathy with the wild doctrines
which he believed. This is all the more ev-
ident, as it is shown that the authorities
are doing everything possible to suppress
the real facts in the case, and that it is
| gradually becoming apparent that the gov
eminent is in possession of most startling
information as to the spread OF anarchy
in Spain ~
Runor has it that a conspiracy existed,
and may still exist, to blow up a number
of the most important buildings in this
city, and every precaution is being taken
to prevent further outrageS. All the pub
lie buildings are under double guard, and
the police were never SO active as they
are at present in tracking Anarchists and
in following up the clews in their posses
sion. But the fact remains that the public
is greatly alarmed at the few arrests made
and at the fact that such a state of af-
fairs should exist in spite of the determined
efforts made by the government to suppress
anarchy. This feeling of alarm is in no
way lesSened by the report that the govern
ment of Spain has been compelled to ask
for the assistance of the governments OF
other countries in this emergency, and the
suggestion that C~eptain-general Martinez
CampoS should be given unlimited power TO
act in the case is received with general
approval. The veteran soldier mentioned is
| we'll known to be a man utterly without
fear, and one who will leave no stone un-
turned to crush out anarchy in Spain, If he
is called to do so. Finally the report is in
circulation that the Genera has already
been called upon to furnish IA report on the
subject to the government, which, If adopt
ed, will lead to the most severe measures
being taken throughout Spain. The gov
eminent is known to be awaiting with con-
siderable anxiety reports from foreign cap
| itals where the Spanish ambassadors have
been asked to take certain steps which
may lead, it is hoped, to combined action
against anarchy. The situation is now SO
grave that ordinary measures are appar-
emily useless, and nothing short of the most
archy will have any effect, in this country
