/. ANTI-.TAX AGITATION.

Serious Riots Occur at Barcelona and
L Seville.
MADRID, May Dispatches just re-
ceived here show that disorders due to
the anti-taxation agitation similar to
those which took place in Valencia oc-
CURED at Barcelona and at Seville.
The rioting was particularly severe in
Barcelona, where a, crowd threw up
barricades in the streets and exchanged
musketry fire with a body of gendarmes
Shots were also fred from the verandas
and balconies of number of houses
Several gendarmes were hit. A num-
Der of the rioters were arrested. Order
has now been restored in the city, but
it is rnmored that martial law will be
proclaimed there. At Seville a mob
threw stones at the building Of the Mil
itary club, shattering the windows and
the gas lamps. The gendarmes only
succeeded in dispensing the rioters after
a hard fight, during which seyaral citi-
zens, two gendarmes, police inspector
and two members of the municipal
guard were wounded. A force of in
fantry and cavalry was summoned,
which soon cleared and occupied the
streets. a. .sZ.-

Possible Objection May Be Made
to Application Of the Mon

Says the Armor Plate Discussion
Has Put an End to Naval
Construc ction.

WASHINGTON, May 10 At the con-
clusion Of routine business the senate
proceeded to the consideration Of the
naval appropriation bill, the pending
question being the amendment Of Mr.
Tillman (S.C.l, providing for straight
price Of $500 per ton for armor and an
armor plate factory to be built BY the
government at a cost not to exceed
81 ,O00, 900.
Mr.. Lodge {Mass.) speaking in oppo-
sition to the amendment, said that for
the past three years the senators from
South Carolina and New Hampshire
{Mr. Tllman and Mr. Chandler), had
been endeayoring to get armor at low
price. The net result Of their work had
been to put a stop. to the construction Of
q navy. To stop the building Of all
ships until the armor plant could be
erected would, he thought, be fatal
mistake "a v s33 Z
'tMy reasons for desiring more ships =
said he, .sand desiring them quickly, is
my belief that the safety Of the United
States depends upon the strength Of our
navy. We do not need the navy for the
protection of our insular possessions
The danger lies in our great coast line
and in the
Defense of the Monroe Doctrine
in this hemisphere Onr Atlantic coast:
is studded with cities from the gulf to-
Northern Maine. For the defense Of
this great coast line and these cities we
have no adequate fleet. We are about
to enter upon the construction of an
Isthmian canal Whether it viii be bet
ter to fortify that canal or not is yet an
open question. But to control that
canal, to defend it. to hold it open
for our commerce and for the commerce
of the world, even though it be against
an enemy's fleet, we must be the naval
masters Of the caribbean sea- We must
have far more powerful feet than we
have today. The safety Of the canal de-
pends upon our feet. All admit That.
the canal ought to be built, and the
time is near when the work will be be-
gun. # we are to protect the canal, as
well as our own coast, we must have a.
navy proportonately strong
81 hope and believe % he continued,
'ethat we shall have no war, but great
fleet is the greatest insurance of peace y

occupied and the gnnboat Helena bonn
barded them vigorously, after which
three o1apanies were landed and took
the trenches with little resistance. One.

LONDON, May IL. "A special dispatch
from Riet Spruit, dated May 10, de-
scribing more fully Thursdays success
full operation, says:
General Hamilton's scouts had on
two previous days ascertained the Boer
position and strength. On Wednesday
night the Cheshire regiment crossed the
river, entrenched themselves and pre-
pared to hold the passage for the regi-
ments following them.
At day break on Thursday the main
body crossed at two or three points.
The mounted infantry were then in ac-
ton, driving off the advanced Beers,
preparatory to a general forward move
ment. The Boer right first gave way,
but Tucker and Hamilton had a tougher
task on the left. The Beers had six
guns and served them well, working
with great determination but the Brit
ish worked up closer and closer, their
guns in the meantime firing incessantly.
by II o'clock the: East Lancashire
and Sussex regiments had worked well
to the front. The order was given and
like flash the two regiments sprang
forward simultane eously and in a few
moments had secured two commanding
ridges. T. a8s
The advanced line was now within
1900 yards Of the Beers main trench
and the latter were already losing heart
from the demonstration on their flank, !,
but they kept up a rapid, though wild
fire. ;s5# sS. :s ,s.5,
g At this moment the final charge was
ordered and away went the Lancashires
and the Sussex regiment again, but the
Beers could not stand, and they fairly
bolted and the rout of the Beers along
the whole line was then complete" !"

Beyond Kroonstad is an intricate and
