London. July So-The severity OF the
Spanish censorship. which IS increasing
daily. prevents that knowledge OF the
actual facts as regards the happenings IN
Spain and Morocco from which a proper
estimate OF the situation could be drawn.
What information, however. that does
reach the outside from various sources
does not give any reason 10 hope that The
situation is less dark than has been sup
posed. but rather that It Is worse.
The continuance Of the strict censorship
can only be regarded as a bad sign. All
the news direct from Madrid is practically
official. and It Is not only inconsistent
with the information from every other
source. but It IS even inconsistent with
itself,
It declares that things have improved
at Barcelona, but admits that cavalry
was obliged TO herd the rioters into a
street to be cut down by artillery.
From Cerbera, or the Franco-spanIsh
frontisr. comes word that the soldiers
IN Barcelona are very reluctant 20 attack
the populace there. Sympathy with the
strikers and manifestants Is shown in
various ways"
Churches Are Burned.
Stories Of the burning OF churches and
mon0stcrics throughout the province OF
Barcelona come from every frontier
source OF news. and although there IS
nothing on which TO form even an ap-
proximate estimate, there can be no
douOt that the slaughter in the city and
province OF Barcelona has been immense
and that Il IS not yet completed.
TO-day's advices from Perpignau are
10 the effect that rioters destroyed the
Octroi Offices al Mataro, province Of Bar
celona; set fire to the monastery OF the
Order OF St. Francis OF Saleo. and at
tackled merchants on the boulevard.
There was an encounter between the mob
and the civil guards and a number OF
persons were killed or wounded.
An eye witness OF the event in BARGE
Iona July o states that the troops fred
in the air because being much less nu-
mercus than the mob, they feared they
would be overwhelmed II they shot at

Worlzmen Await Orders.
The consul general at Palmas says that
$1,000 armed worlmen in Barcelona are
ready TO pour into the streets. They are
awaiting orders from Lerroux. the ex-
PEELED republican ex-deputy He is re-
ported from Paris tonight to be in Bor-
deaux. The police there are searching
for him IN order 10 prevent his embarka-
tion on any vessel bound for Spain.
The Daily Nails Biarritz correspondent
telegraphs that the following news was
received by special courier who left Ma

To-day Thursday 119 Socialists and
radicals were arrested IN Madrid. The

GAFFNEY CITIZEN
BREAKS HIS NECK.

Gaffney, July 7.-As result of fall
ing from a portico early this morning,
Mr.. Samuel @. Sarratt, ore of Chero-
kee county's most prominent citizens,
lies dead at his home, two miles north
of Gaffney, with broken neck.
1t is very hard to determine at what
hour it took place, as Mr.. Sarratt was
in the habit of sleeping on the portico
of the second story, and when the fam
lily arose this morning he was found
on the door steps with his neck broken
However, the body was still warm
when found. 1t is thought that it hap
pened about o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Sarratt was very widely known
all over the county, having many
prominent connections, and being uni
versally respected. He was about SO
years Ole, having lived in this section
practically all his life, engaged in farm
ing.
