LONDON, Nov. GA great civil crisis In

AIRY In action. Information to this effect comes
not only from TIE suN correspondent at
Madrid, who, Of course, IL compelled to scnd 1t
to the London Office by post, but from va
rety OF public and private sources in Spain
which leave no room to doubt the grave nature
Of the crisis.
The Government is fully ;.ware of the dan
ger, but docs not know the actual extent Of
the sediton in the army. The Carlist propa-
ganda have been widespread for months but
1t is impossible to ascertain what proportion of
the officers affected. 1t is feared that the
arrival Of Gen. weyler will precipitate a
crisis. He is not accused Of Carlism, but is
known to be disaffected to the point Of insub
ordination against the present Government.
Tho Cabinet is prepared to adopt the stern
est measures In dealing with Gen. weyler in
the hope that the example may crush the spirit
OF revolt. The fact that the Cabinet is already
talking of shooting traitors, IL necessary. is
some Indication OF the serious nature of the
situation.
