ABOUT 1000 OF SPANISH TROOPS KILLED. 2,5OOO WOUNDED IN BATTLE WITH MOORS

practically the entire city and several of the important suburbs. The latest buildings to be- destroyed by the mobs are the beautiful church of San Pablo and the College Des Escalapios De San Antonio. The loss of the buildings are national disasters.
 The revolutionists are preparing for sturdy resistance for the reinforce ments now en route to Barcelona. Barricades of earth and cement have been thrown up in number of streets and hundreds of we'll armed revolu- tionists now man these defenses. The tramways of the city are completely out of commission to-day and most of the cars have been wrecked. The railways are also crippled, no train service is being attempted
 r The Socialists are working hand-in- glove with the revolutionists and Anarchists. Pablo Iglissa, the Social ist leader announces that all prepara- tions for a general industrial strike have been completed and that the strike will be launched if the govern ment carries out it's threat to break up the anti-war meetings planned by the Socialists.
 The latest outbreak is reported at Saragossa, where women employees of the cotton mills went on strike and attacked the police. They were finally dispersed after the police had made free use of their clubs The clash re- suited in a number of casualties. Hun UT GUS Ol eDllSSdTlSS ISll dhO other revolutionary centers to-day to spread the revolutionary propaganda throughout the country. Already the entire provinces of Lerida, Corona and Tarragona, including the important towhs of Sabadell, Manresa, Tarrasa, Reus and Alcoy are seriously affected with the revolutionary spirit and the entire industrial population of the provinces is distinctly anti govern ment.
 A crit;ooJ y,,oroopt x,iI1 oo,,oa rx,bor the endorsements that are now en route to Barcelona, arrive. The revo- lutionists declare that not more than ten per cent of the governments troops are loyal and that the majority of them will refuse to fire on the. strikers.
 That Spain considers the Irevolu- tionary situation in Barcelona of even greater gravity than that in Morocco, was shown today by the dispatch of the third and fourth army corps, two brigades of cavalry, two cruisers and three destroyers to that city Much of this military strength was to have been sent to Melilla but the danger of the revolution at home was consid- cred of greater gravity. All reinforce ments have been summoned and all of Spain's military forces will be mobi- lized at once. All garrisons have been placed under arms.
 London, July 29.-Spain is making her last stand against a revolution in the opinion of English students of in- ternational affairs She may succeed in putting down the present uprising without becoming involved in an ac- tual revolution but it is believed here that the revolutionary spirit has gain ed too much strength in the present disorders to be successfully checked and that within a short time another' revolutionary wave will engulf the country and put an end to the mon archy.
 The most sinister aspect of the situation is the fact that the present time when the country is engaged in a. foreign war: in fact, should arise out of this war. Under ordinary cir cumstances foreign war is sufficient to temporarily settle all national diff culties and unite the people in a com mon cause.
 The national discontent in Spain is deeper ttan suspected and the events of the last few days make it incon- check the growing sentiment against the government. The dynasty is be- tween two fires. The war with the Moroccan tribeSmen must be fought to a successful conclusion or the coun- try is lost. To queI the tribesmen will mean tremendous outlay of money and men and every dollar that Is spent and every soldier that falls simply adds to the clamor at home and in- creases the nations peril. The Moroc- can situation, which seemed insignf- ficant enough at the beginning, bids fair to be the costliest war ever waged by Spain with the loss of national integrity as the final price.
