Madrid, July 29.-Attacked by foes
and defeated without. and with revo-
luton striking at its vitals within,
the kingdom of Spain is facing a
crisis in its history today and the
Bourbon dynasty is on the verge of
falling. Because of the almost IN
precedented strictness Of the censor
ship and the difficulty of transmitting
dispatches, details are lacking That
news which has worked out, how
ever, indicates the gravity of the
situation.
The government has commenced a
complete mobilization of the army,
al officers upon leave having been
recalled. Martial law has been pro-
claimed all over the kingdom, and
newspapers have been ordered to
print only official reports under pain
Of suppression.
In Barcelona, Catalonia, and a
dozen other garrison towns, mobs
have seized the streets and are being
fought by the military with artillery
The rushing of troops to Africa has
been so rapid and heavy that the SOL
eisrs left have been unable to cope
with the frenzied workmen who are
Tioting because of the sending of SOL
aiers to Africa. These Workmen have
built barricades in the streets and In
many places pitched battles have
hlled the cutters with blood. The
government is determined to adopt
no halfway measures and has given
the army orders to put down the
revolution regardless of the means
necessary or the consequent loss of
life.
Guards have been thrown around
the frontier and no one is permitted
to leave or enter the kingdom except
under closest scrutiny.
DESPERATE CONDITION.

both at home and abroad was dis

corner of Jackson and DeVillier
streets. Jackson street Will be fol-
