SPANISH REBELS
DECLARE REPUBLIC
Don Jaime de Bourbon to Lead the
Revolution.

London, Aug. 2.-Messages re-
received here are to the effect that
Spanish troops had been repulsed in
a collision with revolutionaries at
Barcelona and that the insurgents
have proclaimed republic. A meet
ing of Carlist leaders has been held
at Figueras and the arrival is ex-
pected of the pretender, Don Jaime
de Bourbon, in order to place him
self at the head of the rebellion.
Color is lent to the report by
other dispatches emanating from
Cerbere on the Franco-Spanish from
tier. These tell of a continuance of
fighting between the troops and rev.
dictionaries in Barcelona, showing
the government has not gained con-
troll of the insurgents, as censored
dispatches stated.
No news is allowed to be pub
lished from Barcelona except that
