REBEL OUTBREAK At HOME
lnsurrectiOn Occurs at Barcelona
and Other Points.

Madrid, July 3o.-Spain is rent by
two fears-the fate of the army in
Morocco and the situation In the
Mediterranean provinces in Catalonia
At the outskirts of Melilla the Span
ish arms have suffered a serious
check. Three thousand soldiers have
either been slain or wounded and the
Moorish hordes are fighting at the
very walls of the city itself.
News from Barcelona, the center of
the revolutionary outbreaks. Is ex.
ceedingly meager and unsatisfactory.
From Lisbon comes the report that
the revolutionists are using bombs
and that 100 persons were killed and
200 wounded during the earlier stages
of the conflicts.
Premier Maura's announcement that
the situation in Barcelona showed a
little Improvement and word from
Melilla that the Moors were retreating
from Mount Guruga only slightly ap-
peased the general uneasiness. The
Moorish forces, however, have been
strengthened by the arrival of 5000
additional tribesmen and the official
Judgment that $4,000 Spanish troops
are needed to overcome the Moors
would indicate that the Melilla army
Of Spain is in sore straits.
A Moorish army is marching on
Alhucemas and a warship has been
hurriedly dispatched from Melilla to
aid the garrison there.
Insurrectionary outbreaks are re-
ported from many points in Spain. At
Chandeliers two converts have been
burned. while at Cassadlaselva the
civil guard was disarmed and impris-
oned In the barracks. The revolu-
tionists are active at Llansa and
Figueras, where the railroads have
been dynamited. Financial institu-
lions are sending their funds across
the frontier.

SLAUGHTER AT BARCELONA
Artillery Used to QuelI the Insured
ton There.


Madrid, July 31.-The governments
reports from Catalonia indicate that
the situation continues to improve
Both King Alfonso and Premier Maura
seem satisfied that the worst Is over,
that the rebellion in Barcelona has
been quelled and that order soon will
be restored in the remainder of the
captaincy general. Nevertheless, to
be on the safe side. large bodies of
troops of all arms continue to be hur.
ried to the scene.
No figures, not even estimates, of
the loss of property and life In Gaia.
lonia are vouchsafed by the authori.
ties, but private dispatches leaking
out through the frontier indicate that
there has been great slaughter at
Barcelona.
It Is understood that the king great
ly regretted the necessity of using ar.
tillery, but yielded to the arguments
Of his cabinet ministers that half way
measures or temporization might
prove fatal. Reports continue to filter
in of the widest destruction Of prop
erty, especially churches. monasteries

of the mob was conferred.

In fact, while he is endeavoring to
nail the flag of the white race to
Johnson's yellow streak he is more
likely to take a -Brodie to the mat.
Ketchels plan of battle, 1t is
stated, is to wade in and tear John
sons hen-house to pieces, which is
to say that the negro's kitchen will
be his main point of attack. - He
can't reach that bobbing black
head, and even if he could he would
hurt himself more than he would
his opponent. So, naturally he must
go after the stomach. If he sue
ceeds in landing couple of his ter
rible drives he will make the black
awfully. sick and perhaps finish
him. Perhaps.
In the meantime it must be borne
in mind that Johnson holds his
stomach in high regard, especially
when threatened by a fist, and that
his gorilla-like arms are as good
as a sheet of Harveyized steel ar
NOR plate.
Again, which will be the one to

BY THE RiNGSIOER

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct Which
smile will be the one to come off?
ketchel or Johnson?
With Ketchel, challenger for the
heavyweight championship of the
world, on the ground, and Jack
johnson, black holder of the much
coveted title, almost ready for the
gong that will send the little white
man and the gigantic negro away
on their scheduled 20-round bout on
the afternoon of October Il, the
fight fans are beginning to figure
seriously ON the respective chances
of the pair.
Here it is: When Johnson fought
0'Brien he didn't slip over the
knockout because he wouldn't if he
could have and couldn't ii be would
have. Sounds bit complex, but
it's right. In the first place, John
son was hog fat. champagne had
cut his speed, he had no training
and didn't care. In the second
place, he wasn't going to show ev-
erything he knew, because he bad
made up his mind not to tip his
mitt for the benefit of Jim Jeffries.
He fought, as he fought against AL
Kaufman, under wraps. In both
fights he employed only his famous
right uppercut and a straight left
jab. Not once did he try punch
that carried the knockout. So any
judge of boxing who saw either
one of the blacks two most i'm
portant fights since his return from
Australia will tell you that he has
something good in reserve-some-
thing that is as good as Papke
gave Ketchel when he knocked him
out, and not even the most rabid
partisan of the sensational Mich,
gan fighter will contend that
Papke is one half the fighter that
Johnson is.
Johnson is taller, stronger
heavier than Ketchel. He is fully
as fast on his feet, hits harder, is
a far better boxer than Ketchel
and as a defensive fighter is with
out a peer. Where, then, can
Ketchel have it on him?
In gameness, SO out of 100 bugs
will tell you.
johnson has a yellow streak a
yard wide" is what they all say
Even johnson himself isn't sure
that he hasn't a yellow streak.
While tanning with a number
of sports in New York last spring,
Jim Coffroth, who was then dicker-

ing for the Johnson-Ketchel match,
took Johnson off his feet by. sud
denly asking: Jack, do you think
you are gamer
For a moment Johnson was
stunned. When he recovered from
his establishment he grinned a
sheepish grin and said: Il don't
know, Mr.. Coffroth."
Again, while fighting Kaufman,
one of the spectators in the cham
pion's corner shouted between
rounds: you've got a yellow
streak, Jack"
Quickly turning to the man who
had hurled the taunt, but without
the least display of anger, Johnson
shot back: Yes, maybe l have, but
none of these big fellows seem to
be able to locate it,
If Ketchedl can locate it, fine for
the little white boy. Big Jeff can go
back to the alfalfa ranch and stay
there. But Ketch is going to have
an awful time doing the Colombus.

KETCHEL WAS TOO
MUCH FOR HIM

Pittsburg, May 1S-Six times to-
night Hugh McGann was down for a
count OF nine seconds in his six.
round bout with Stanley Ketchel,
champion middleweight Of the world.
Five times in the sixth round he was
caved from knockout by a second.
Twice ho was knocked through the
ropes. once clear across the press
table and into the seats of the spec
tators.
Ketchel apparently toyed with his
opponent and probably could have
knocked him out had he tried hard.
Only the cheering voices of his cham
Dions from the audience inspired Nc
Gam several times to get on his feet
again after being all but knocked out.
For the first three rounds McGann
fought hard and landed several times
on the champion, but he apparently
exhausted himself in the early rounds
and could not face the powerful blows
of his antagonist after the first half
OF the bout. No decision was permis-
sible under the Pennsylvania laws.
