Entertained.

The Situation.

Madrid, July 29.-Spain tonight
is rent by two fears. The fate Of
the army in Morocco and the stu.
alton in the Mediterranean provinces
IN Catalonia. At the outskirts OF
Melilla the Spanish arms have suf.
fered a serious check, and three
thousand soldiers either have been
slain or wounded. The Moorish
hordes are fighting at the very walls
Of the city. News from Barcelona,
the center Of the revolutionary out
breaks, is meagre and unsatisfactory.
From Lisbon comes the report of
revolutionists using bombs, and one
hundred persons being killed and
two hundred wounded in the earlier
stages of the conflict.
The Moorish forces have been
strengthened by the arrival of five
thousand tribesmen, and the official
Judgment, that $4,000 Spanish
troops are needed to overcome the
tribesmen, would indicate that the
;Melilla army is In sore straits. Inc
Moorish army is marching on AL
hucemas and warships have been
sent from Melilla to aid the garrison.
Insurrectionary outbreaks are re-
ported from many parts of Spain.
At Granoller two converts were
burned; at Casa, Delaselva the
civil guard was disarmed and i'm
prisoned in barracks.
1t is reported that a provisional
government has been established at
Barcelona, and the governor assas-
sinated. Rumors are persistent that
Premier Maura will resign and a
military dictatorship will be set up
in Madrid.
The military governor Of Barcel-
ona has published decree ordering
the inhabitants of that city to re-
turn to their homes and, IL after
twenty7four hours has passed any
one is found upon the streets orders
have been issued to shoot him or her
on sight.
Official dispatches received today
show that the battle outside of Me-
lila on July 27 was disastrous de-
feat for the Spanish. The Moers
succeeded i'm cutting of communica-
tion with the Spanish outposts, and
the main force Of the Spaniards was
driven back to the shelter of the
walls of the city, desperate fighting
continuing within the city, whittier
the Spanish had been following by
the victorious Moors.
Hendaye, July 29.-Conservative
and well founded advices from Mad
rid despite the situation in the in
terror and exterior, as more critical
than at any time since the Cuban
war. While the government claims
the Catalonia movement to be simp-
ly anarchistic, the gravest fears are
entertained for believing it Is a gen.
eral wide spread revolutionary out
break, which combination of social
lists and republicans nave been secret
ly preparing for long time. Moors
believe they can drive the Spanish
into the sea. General Warina says
his men aye worn out and asks for
seventy-five thousand reinforce
ments.
Cebere, France, July 29.-Spanish
courfers arriving at the Spanish
frontier today report that the artil-
lery is battering at the barracks be-
hind which the insurgents are des-
perately fighting in Barcelona
Heavy fighting is now in progress in
different parts of the city, and the
number of killed and wounded can
not be estimated. Five converts and
number of private residences have
been burned at LUNA.
Grave events are anticipated at
Figueroas. Comparative calm had
been restored there when orders
were issued for all recruits to report
for duty. The entire populace then
