been compelled to fire on the rioters in
'self-defense The latest news from.
iijon is that the artillery has been or
Tered out. The fisherwomen are TAX
ing the most active part in tie disturb
anccs, which are due to the dearness of
provisions and the opposition of the
people to the octrio tax, All the bread

pots, as the rioters are threatening to
pilage the regular bakeries. All the
stores are closed, and business is about
suspended.
At Talavera de Ia Reina, one of the
Jesuit religious houses has been
burned. 1t is asserted that these riots
arise from hunger rather than from no
litical motives The rioters attacked
and seized the railroad station, burned
the ears and then set fire to several
private houses and a cafe. After that,
the rioters tried to break into the
prison and release the cOnvicts, hut
were prevented by the civil guards.
Many persons were arrested.
The authorities have proclaimed
martial law in the province OF Valen-
cha.

they are said to have been suppressed.

of the province of that name, have
struck work, and disorders are feared.

dura, the populace marched into the
railway station to prevent the export
of provisions, and overpowered the sol
diers on guard, capturing ii tons Of
wheat flour.
All Valencia is in a state of seige.
AT Catalan, the rioters captured the
mayor and town councillors and de
manded ransom. On the mayor pro-
testing, he was shot through the leg,
after which the gendarmes dispersed
the mob.
At Talavera, the rioters were most
determined, sacking many bakeries and
setting fire to several government
buildings.
In the town Of Aguila. in the PROV
ince of Murcia. a mob, mostly women,
burned the storehouses and Offices.
The tisherWomen who broke out
against the octroi duties at Gijon re-
ceived the most determined assistance
from the tobacco girls. Together they
sacked several bakeries and burned all
the octrio Offices with all the papers
belonging to the foreign ships loading
in the harbor. The civic guard was
holly stoned at the prison, and the
rioters marched off with the iron bars
of the Jail. When the troops appeared,
they were stoned, replying with fire
and wounding many. The mob then
walked to the government buildings
and smashed the windows The troops
again fred this time from the bal
comics, and wounded many. bat the
women kept on throwing stones. The
Jesuit house was attacked because it
was supposed grain was stored there.
The troubles seem to increase.
