REPORT THAT ROYAL FAMILY
HAS FLED OFFICIALLY DENIED.

san Sebastian spain, July 50.-N l@
Hendays, France.-The royal family is
still at Miramar palace, the report that
Queen Victoria, the queen mother, Ma
rie Christiana and the royal family
had crossed the frontier and gone to
Bayonne until the crisis was over, is
untrue and probably originated in the
arrival Of the royal automobile at
Biarritz with a member of the court
bearing dispatches to the spanish ann
bassador to France.
1t is understood that both the queen
and the queen mother were anxious to
follow the king to Madrid, but the king
considered a better and safe course
that they should remain at san Seba-
stian until the interior crisis was ended.
The king keeps an almost hourly
communication with the queen by tele-
phone and telegraphs and transmits
reports of affairs in Catalonia and AZ
ricd. The queen is raising national
subscription for the war victims.

Madrid, July 3O.-The government
reports from Catalonia indicate that
the revolutionary situation continues to
improve Both King Alfonso and Pre-
mier Maura We're satisfied that the
worst is over. that the rebellion in
Barcelona has been quelled and that
order win soon be restored.
Nevertheless to be on the safe side,
large bodies of troops are being hur-

Private dispatches leaking odt

1t is understood that the king great

to the arguments of his cabinet minis

great loss to property, especially to
churches. monasteries and converts,
against which the fury of the mob Was
centered.
There is some apprehension now that
followers of Don Jaime, the pretcnder,
may attempt to raise the white flag of
the Carlists. Leaders who maintain a
military and political organization in
northern Spain, are being closely
watched.
