The Spanish crisis at home and
abroad continued to present many
alarming features, with Barcelona
yet III the throes of revolutionary
movement. and an army of 10000
Moors pressing Spain's defeated and
exhausted forces in Morocco.
The reports from Barcelona are
ominously meager. and from the
roundabout quarters, but the revolu.
tionary movement appears to have
passed its climax. The government
: troops are now reported to have the
upper hand. The artillery has been
used with merciless effect. driving
back and capturing the main bodies
OF the rioters and driving the REM
nants to the outlaying sections. The
scattered fragments of information.
coming through Madrid and frontier
points. are doubtless censored and
lacking in eXactness. but they give
details of the bloody conflicts between
10000 armed revolutionists and the
Spanish artillery and cavalry.
From many interior points come re-
ports of riot and incendiarism, but
the movement is scattered and without
apparently central organization or
leader. In the north there are fears
that Don Jaime. the new carlist lead
er, will take advantage of the situa-
tion by renewing the carlist move-
ment against the dynasty.
Madrid. July 30-The news from
| Barcelona that the cavalry and troops
! have gained the upper hand and cap
tured the main body of the insur.
gents and that only the isolated
bands are holding out in the SUBJ
urbs. created the greatest relief in
official circles here. The work of.
repression will rapidly be followed
up throughout the Catalonian cap
talncy general:.
Late last night it was officially an
nounced that the cavalry engaged at
| Barcelona had succeeded in driving
into st. Martins square the principal
band OF revolutionists, against whom
the artillery opened fire. After fight
ing desperately and successfully for
long time the revolutionists were
| surrounded. Many persons were kill
| ed IN the fighting and survivors sur
rendered to the troops. No figures
ara given Of casualties.
General Marina, commander of the
Spanish forces in Morocco, reports
| that there is a momentary quiet out
side Meliila, but no details of the
situation of the army at Melilla are
gwen out. except that the Spanish re-
inforcenents with the new COM
lnanuln@ general have arrived there.

Cerbere. France, July 30-The re-
ports received here from Spain con-
firm the terrible fury of the women
,, throughout Catalonia. AT Barcelona
they fought behind the barricades with
the men, urging them to fight to the
death. Everywhere they resisted the
searches by the gendarmes for re-
crults for the reserves, barring the
doors of their houses and firing at the
soldiers from the windows.
| At Casa De La Selva the popula-
tion surrounded and disregarded the
civil guards and locked up the Off
cials in the barracks. Not only at
Barvelona, but throughout the pro-
vince. the church property was the
special object of the popular fury.
Horrible stories are recounted of the
merciless fashion in which the
churches and converts were sacked
and burned. The inmates of the in
stitutions were driven into the fields
to the cries of down with the church" /"
| The MeIilla Campaign.
Melilla. July 30.-The Moors have
withdrawn from the outskirts of this
city. 1t is believed they are concen-
trating for new effort. They buried
hundreds OF their dead, whom they
were unable to carry off. After the
tribesmen had retired, the sad work
or burying the Spanish dead, which
already We're rotting in the sun, was
hurridely accomplished in the ravine
where the two columns of Spanish
troops were ambused while trying to
rescue the convoy. The ground was
| covered with the heaps of corpses.
many of whom were mutilated after
death. The bodies had been stripped
OF their arms. In order to prevent an
epidemic, the bodies were dumped in
to holes.
The steamer Mouilla has arrived here
with hundreds of tons of shells for
the artillery and cartridges for the
soldiers, whose ammunition was run
ming low. The greatest confusion
reigns at the army headquarters. The
over-worked staff seems demorilized.
'Ths exact figures of the dead and
wounded since the heavy fighting
broke out with the Moors are refused.
Ceuta, Morocco, July 3O-Natives
in the region surrounding this sea-
port are preparing to join their fight

Melilla. A holy war is being preached
from Ceuta to Moulmuga and the
