MADRID, August C.-Troublc OF Il

Spain, particularly In the province OF
Valencia, by agents OF the Cuban In
surGCnts. The minister OF the Interior,
Senior Cos-Gayon yesterday. replying
10 u question In the chamber Of dOput-
les. admitted that Il number OF riots
had occurred In Valencia and when
asked to explain the cause OF the dis
t%urb0nces, said that they were caused
by friends Of the Cuban insurgents who
hoped thereby 20 prevent the departure
OF further achievements OF troops for
Cuba Hitherto the popular demon
STATIONS have been attributed entirely
TO protests against the imposition OF
new taxes, d step MADE necessary by
tho financial strain the government has
been subjected 10 through carrying on
the campaign against the insurgents
OF Cuba. But, while the government is
only willing to admit that the riots
have been inStlguted by the agents Of
the Cuban revOlutionists, 1t Is generally
admitted that the roots of the trouble
are much deeper and that It IL being
nourished by the natural feeling OF
alarm and dismay at the apparent utter
Inability OF the government TO cope
with the situation In Cuba. That the
large Spanish army in Cuba must be
still further and heavily reinforced Is
looked upon here as being n confession
OF weakness upon the part OF the ad-
ministratlon and us an admission OF
the growing strength OF the Cubans.
\ number OF conflicts between riot
ers and the police and soldiers have al
ready occurred, shots have been ex-
changed, several persons have been
wounded on both sides and n large
number OF arrests have been made.
This, the revolut!onIsts hope, will serve
to call attention 10 their cause and en-

the case. a will has been stolen from

and n second will filed. A widow has
arisen by virtue OF her assertion that
she was married by contract to the min

deeds to substantlnte her claim.
Charles L. Fair has disputed Mrs. Cra-

Craven and her claims IN sixty days.

settle the question so quickly.
