MODS RAGE IN MADRID
RIOTERS AND ANARCHISTS.

Replies Have Been Received
All Powers Warned.

New York, April 26.-Madrid and more
than 20 of the largest towns in Spain are
in the hands of the mob several hours ev-
cry day, says the Madrid correspondent of
the World. The government had permit
ted patriotic demonstrations as the best
means of giving vent to popular excite
ment All was well as long as they were
expressions of animosity toward America
or in anticipation of victory over for
eigner-always an object of hate and sus-
picion with the Spanish masses.
MODS Are Beyond Control.
But now the demonstrations are getting
beyond control. The government is anX-
ious and the better classes are alarmed.
The police notice already in the throngs
many socialists, anarchists and republi-
cans, who would quickly turn these dem
constructions into antidynastic or anti
monarchial movements, or at least upset
the cabinet if news came of a serious
verse beyond the seas. All Spanish revo-
lutions have begun in just such outbreaks
of a spirit of lawlessness. The noisy street
demonstrations are particularly danger
Gus now, when all classes have been led to
indulge in hopes of naval and military tri-
umphs.
Victory or Revolution.
The revolutionary parties are very ac-
tive. They are almost publicly threaten
ing to take matters in their own hands if
the government does not succeed in
promptly overcoming the United States.
Matters are critical politically and even
worse financially. Both aspects of the sit
uation are being employed by the Spanish
diplomats and court to impress European
9 courts and governments with the urgent
necessity of action to save Spain from
both the foreigner and herself.
Overthrow the Government.
