MADRID. Feb. 1.-It is now hoped by the
government that some Of the anti-Jesuit
feeling will subside. one of the causes of
the widespread disturbances having been
removed, but this feeling Of hopefulness
II rot general. The High Court to-day re-
versed the judgment o. the lower courts
IN the Sonora Ubao case. This case, the
coming marriage Of the Princess of the As
turias and Prince Charles and the presenta-
ton Of the anti-Clerical play Electra
have caused numerous riots in Madrid,
Valencia. Barcelona, Saragossa, Malaga,
Granada, Cadiz and elsewhere. In fact.
the discomfort and I'll feeling has been so
widespread and intense that Senor Sagasta
and other statesmen have viewed the out
look with alarm, and some have said the
signs rointed to q revolution. The authori-
ties also took a grave view OF the situation
and proclaimed martial law In several
provinces The decision OF the High Court
today, while 1t may placate some OF the
anti-Jesuits, will not restore quiet In the
republican strongholds. and keen observers

predict more trouble
Father F1shhook" as he is called by
anti-Clericals, is responsible for part OF
the uprising against the Jesuits, and 1t
was duo to him that the Ubao case came
before the High Court to-day. Sonora
Ubao brought suit in lower court to COM
pei the Jesuits to give uo the custody Of
her daughter. who, 1t is alleged, was IN
duced BY jealous priest ("Fathe- Fish
hook'') to take the veil without the consent
Of her parents. She lost her case and ap-
pealec tc the High Court. In her complaint
she reafsrmed her charge that her daugh-
ter was induced under pressure from her
Jesuit confessor TO abandon her home dur
ing the mothers illness and To enter con-
vent. The mother asserted that the Jesuit
sent thu girl letters clandestincly, exhcrting
her to take the veil She contended that
she had proof that her daughter was under
the veritable domination OF the priest. In
a letter to her betrothed, young and fer
vent Catholic, the daughter wrote: my
confessor assures me that he cannot save
my soul with you. Notwithstanding our
mutual love, and / must go to God, who
calls me to Him." The mother declared
that the court should restore the daughter
to her. as the girl had not yet taken ner
vows. This the High Court did. The case
created considerable excitement as the
family Is wealthy and of good social posi-
tion. The alleged exploit of the Jesuit in
question. together with similar alleged sue
cesses in inducing young girls to take the
veil. secured for him the popular nickname
Father Fishhook.'
ON THE VERGE OF TUMULT.
Whispered rumors in circulation tonight.
which are not supported by tangible facts,
say that Madrid is on the verge of a tu-
multi. The government, however. is calm
ly proceeding to carry out the details 70,

to Prince Charles Of Bourbon. but the
street corners. the clubs and the hotel COR
ridors TEEN with disturbing stories. The
new shout long live the army is the most
serious sign should it take a real hold
on the people. and should the fever reach
the army itself the outcome would be
threatening. The current talk represents
the army as being dissatisfied and as an
nouncing that it does not intend TO take
up arms against the people so long as their
opposition is directed against the Jesuits
and the Count OF Caserta. The feeling
against the former Is largely political. but
q real and deep-seated antagonism exists
against the former Carlist leader.

This afternoon about 500 students. led by

flags, assembled in the Puerta Del Sol and
started cries for the army and against the
Jesuits and the Count OF Caserta. They
were quickly dispersed, but continued re-
assembling in various parts OF the city.

behind them were agitators and the sentI-

This evening two hundred mounted civil
guards paraded Puerta Del Sol with drawn
swords. preventing any collection Of people.
All the avenues centering on the square
were closely guarded. There can be no
doubt that the feeling of the populace is
deep-rooted. needing only a successful
leader TO encourage the people to menacing
deeds Owing TO their attitude the torch

that the slightest opportunity for a clash
