throughout Catalonia. At Barcelona
they fought behind the barrlcades with
men, urging them to fight to the death.
Everywhere they resisted searches by
gendarmes for recruits for the re-

houses and firing at the soldiers from
the windows.
At Casa de la Saliva the popUlation
surrounded and disarmed the civil

(By Associated Press.)

MADRID, July 30.-The government
reports from Catalonia indicate the sit
uation continues to improve.
Both King Alfonso and Premier
Maura were satisfied that the worst
was over that the rebellion in BARGE
Iona had been quelled and that order
soon would be restored
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,
large bodies of troops are being hur-
ried to the scene.
Private dispatches leaking out
through the frontier indicate there has
been great slaughter at Barcelona.
1t is understood the king greatly re-
GREETED the necessity of using artil-
lery, but yielded to the arguments of
his cabinet ministers that halfway
measures or temporization might prove
fatal. There was great loss to prop
erty, especially 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 attempt to raise the white flag of
the Carlists.
The leaders, who maintain military
and political organization in northern
Spain, are being watched closely.
