WAR SITUATION
IS IMPROVING
KING ALFONSO SATISFIED THAT
ORDER SOON WILL BE
RESTORED.
PRIVATE DISPATCHES INDICATE
GREAT SLAUGHTER TOOK
PLACE AT BARCELONA.

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 order soon will be re-
stored. Nevertheless large bodies of
troops continue to be hurried to the
scene.
No figures, not even estimates of
the loss of property and life in Gala
lonia is vouchsafed by the authorities,
but private dispatches indicate that
there has been great slaughter at
Barcelona.
1t is understood that the king great
ly regretted the necessity of using
artillery 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 property, es-
pecially churches, monasteries and
converts, against which the fury of
the mob was centered. There is some
apprehension that the followers of
Don Jaime, the pretender, may at
tempt to raise the white flag of the
carlists. The leaders who maintain
the organization in northern Spain,
are being closely watched.
Gibraltar, July 31.-Provincial cen
ters in the south of Spain are only
just beginning to receive news of the
heavy Spanish losses in Morocco, and
the disclosure of the real state of af-
fairs is causing dangerous anti-war
demonstrations.
General Strike Probable.
London, July 31.A special from
Madrid, dated Friday states that
more than 400 were killed in the
struggle at Barcelona. The situation
was considered to be so serious that
two regiments, detailed to start for
Melilla, were ordered to remain in
Madrid One hundred and nineteen
socialists and radicals were arrested
in Madrid, and it is not improbable
that a general strike will be declared
in Madrid Monday.
A special from San Sebastian says,
that the troops have mastered the sit
uation in Barcelona, where the causal-
ty list numbers more than $500.
Seventy armed insurgents were cap
tured and summarily shot.
Gruesome Scenes.
London, July 31.-The Telegraph's
correspondent, telling OF
the events there, says that Wednes-
day night the revolutionists, 1000
marched about the streets
with the charred remains of their
victims They had placed the arms,
legs and heads on long poles and
we're singing the MarseilIaise and
shouting.
They gave not only the police, civil
guards and soldiers samples of Their
carnage, but actually passed under
the very nose of the captain general.

Now York, Nov. 1A-The sugar trust
used tho civil service as q blackjack to
rob tho Treasury and beat down COM
peitors. BY it's control Of the civil serv-
lea it brought its remarkable system OF
robbery to the highest point OF perfec-

The civil service was a branch OF the
American Sugar Refining Company. just
as the appraisers division. the surveyors
department the collectors Office. and the
Secret Service were sugar trust adjuncts.
It's twenty-year career OF plunder and
extortion and cheating would have been
impossible had it not controlled the ap-
polntment OF customs employees and the
dismissal OF customs employees.
Il opened the door 10 thieves and shut
out honest men. It put it's own thieving
agents into the customs service as de-
Hberately and certainly as II named its
Office staff at III Wall street or its force
OF refncrs. With it's tremendous influ-
ence at Washington. it nullined civil
service regulations absolutely. There Is.
however, no evidence that President
Cleveland or President Mckinley ever
got an inkling OF what was going on.
Appeals AIwnys Answered.
The sugar trust directed the activities
OF the civil service so masterfuUy that
il seldom had 70 bother with appeals TO

or TO more powerful allies. even. But
when such appeals we're made necessary
by the obstinacy Of the officials who
could not be bribed or frightened. the
trust accomplished what It wanted, any
way.
Papers containing charges against GUS
toms thieves who had helped the sugar
trust rob the Treasury uysteriously dis

Treasury Department were pigeonholed
so neatly that they never could be found
