The Spaniards say their losses were
four killed. lieut.. col, three captains.

Notwithstanding the recent announce
ment of the ''pacifcation" of Pinar del

SEVeREST REPRESSION
Viii Be Resorted to As in the Worst Periot
Of the Bismarck Regime.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-The Emperors allu-
sion at recent court dinner to the re-
court cabal, and his statement that he
knew nothing of any such clique as al
legged to exist do not alter the fact that
besides his MaJestys public ministerial
council he has his all-potent private ad-
visers.
The influence of Gen. Won Hahnke ap-
pears in ascendant with the Kaiser. Gen.
Won HahnkeS ascendency means the ac-
tive prosecution of plans for increased
ornaments and the return to the policy
of repression of liberal ideas, especially
of socialism. 1t is known that the Kaiser
has for some time past regretted the line
he took in 1889 in endeavoring to recon-
cile radical workingmen. He finds they
will not be placated on any terms, but their
own and his effort at reconciliation have
been taken as proof of weakness on his
part In going back to policy of re-
striction. of which. the Umsterz bill
Rreichstag was an instance the Kaiser
will have the heartiest support from the
Hahnke circle. There is good reason for
expecting the government measure in
Landtag, proposing such amendments to
the existing common laws as will supply
means to cOunteract the still growing
socialist propaganda.
The law touching the political organiza-
tons, rights of meeting and press criti-
cism of public men or events is to be
amended" the severest repression re-
sorted to. as in the worst period of the
BIS regime he t6ssa
more likely of acceptance by Landtag
than accorded by Reichtag to the
Umsturz bill. Apropos of the spread of
socialisms a socialist review Die Neue
Zeitu of Stuttgart publishes a statistical
table on the influence exercised by re-
ligion on the development of socialism.
Figures as given show in every case
where Catholicism is dominant and social
ism has the smallest relative number of
adhereents. In Hamburg where the num-
erical majority is Protestant, the Social
lists hold 1913 per cent. of the suffrage. In
the districts. as in Hesse where the Catho-
lies form an important minority the So
cialist vote descends to "a per cent, in
districts such as POsen, a Catholic pro-
vince, only per cent. of the Socialist
votes, the centrist papers draw the infer
ence that the Catholic religion offers
greater resisting force to the growth of
anarchists ideas than the Protestant,
Ergo that the government in combating
socialism ought to recognize its best ally
in the party of the Centre.
