toV-toms were again brought into play

on his head the man moved into the
burning pit, and, in time of the goose
step, without moving muscle of his
face, walked to the farther end. He then
stepped out of the pit turned round, and
stood steady as a statue But there was
more to follow. Again the sound of the
tom-toms was heard, and over and above
their noise Heated discordant cries, yells
and shrieks. These emanated from four
men, besmeared in mud from the top
most hair OF the head to the soIes of the
feet. As they were being pushed rough
ly forward by those surrounding them,
their bodies writhed and their spirits
groaned, as though in mortal agony. The
tom-tom heaters in this contingent shook
their heads. danced, and their bodies as
sumed the most grotesque contortions,
while the whole crowd shouted as If pan
demonium were keeping high holiday.
However, on their arrival at the pit
a spell appeared to fall on the assembly
"a dead silence prevailed. Abreast the
four men entered the pit, and, as leisure

passed TO the opposite side, there to

him who had first gone through the fiery
ordeal.
Not wishing to lose my train, did
not wait to see the denouement of this
peculiar rite. 1 heard from a fellow pas
senger on my way home that the four
men who were driven, as it were, to the
pit were new hands, and that, previous
to their bodies being besmeared with
dirt, the priests belonging to their craft
had dipped them seven times in a river
that flows near by-thus to render them
impervious to ffre-while the man who
carried the vase of flowers was an old

STRIKE RIOTING n SPAIN
Gendarmes Called Out TO Suppress
Spinning and Textile " 0rkers.
4 Mob at SianiIen Burns the Mayors
Residence and Sacks other Build
inEs. Iniurins Several Persons.
Eighteen Thousand Locked out.

BARCELONA. March 12--The strike of
the spinning and textile workers in several
towns has resulted in serious outbreaks,
and conditions continue to grow worse as
he temper of the mobs Increase
The most violent disturbances thus far
have occurred at Manilen- Here the angry
operatives made an attack today on the
Manufacturers Club building and did
great damage
Led by disorderly operatives. they en-
trred the building ana wrecked the entire
Interior. Afterward the crowd threw all
the furniture into the street and set fire
to it. making a great demonstration as It
went up in smoke.
4 reign of terror then began The riot
ers went to fine private houses supposed
10 contain persons in sympathy with the
employers. and did great damage to these
residences, in several instances wounding
the occupants more or less seriously.
After this outbreak the crowd. which
had become formidable. proceeded to the
residence of the Mayor OF ManiIen and
fired it. The building was practically de-
stroyed. and il Is understood that the
Mayor was compelled to escape secretly
in order To save his life, Is the mob had
become uncomfortable
Affairs reached such a condition that the
gendarmes were called out 70 suppress the
trouble. which IS becoming most alarming.
The difficulty began yesterday when the
employees Of the spinning and textile fac
tories at Laroda, Vich. and Manilen went
on strike as a protest against the proposed
Introduction Of new machinery in these
establishments
The masters of the factories today closed
everyone of them, and fully $500 men are
now locked out as result
