nobs, in which women and children are
playing almost as prominent a part as
the men, still control the greater part
of the CITY and are resisting the ap-
proach OF the soldiers from behind bar
Ticades. The slaughter of the main div
ision of the rioters In Gale de San Mar
tin. into which the troops drove the
mob and then poured a murderous nre
into its ranks. has infamed the remain
ing bands and it is certain thar peace
can only be brought about by the sac
rifice OF hundreds of lives.
Must Use BayOnet.
T, is anparent that every revolutionary
redoubt in the city viii have to be taken
al the point of the bayonet.
Details of the lighting in Gale de San
Martin or St. Martins Square, show II
10 have been one OF the bloodiest butch
cries in the history of Spanish uprisings.
The government is doing its utmost 70
prevent the story Of the slaughter from
becoming public, as il is feared that II
would cause a Tevulsion of feeling
throughout the entire country BY force
Of overwhelming numbers, due to heavy
re-enforcements, the government troops
rounded up the main division of the rev.
olutionists in St. Martins Square, aE''
trained machine guns upon the packed
mob until it seemed that the immense
square would literally be choked with
the dead.
Mob's Furious Struggle.
For a while the mob fought back, but
il was soon evident that a continuance
Of the struggle would mean utter an
initiation and the leaders in the unequal
conflict surrendered.
This action was the signal for the rank
and file Of the insurgents to throw down
their arms and the murderOus fghl
ceased.
The government expressed confidence
today that a continuation Of the steT-
repressive measures viii clear up the
situation In Barcelona within the mex
twenty-four hours to such an eXten
that many OF the soldiers who are now
on duty there can be transferred Il
Melllla.
The public view, however, does no
coincide with this, as it Is believed thu
Barcelona slaughter viii only quicker
the revolutionary spirit in other towns
and that the services Of a large army
win be required 10 suppress impending
conflicts.
Barcelona today looks as though i
had undergone a long siege, scores o
buildings are wrecked, smoke is rising
from smoldeTing ruins, the streets ar
bloodstained, and nearly all the shop
in the city are closed Hundreds o
houses are protected by improvised bar
ricades.
Ship Shells MoOrs.
The Spanish hotilla is proceeding t
Moroccan waters today, TO be use
wholly in preventing the smuggling int

the warning tribesmen. One of thes
gun runners, manned by $50 kaby!
tribesmen, was captured this week b.
the Spaniards. II was found to have a
immense store of ammunition and SCI
eral hundred rifles Of the latest pattern
The Spanish cruiser Numancia toda
shelled Mt GuEuru, which is being use
as the base of the tribesmen's opera
lions against the Spaniards. The NJ
Tnancia had gone TO the relief OF Alnuct
mas, a small island fortress. where tlei
is a small penal colony, but II was ID
cided that the dislOdg5ng of the Moor
from Mt Guguru was more lmperatly
and the cruiser guns are now tralne
on the tribesmen's stronghold.
