FEAR THAT INDUSTRIAL
STRIKE MAY BE STARTED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MADRID. July 27-The declaration OF
martial law In Madrid and all the other
large cities Of Spain is believed by tho
military authorities to-day to be the only
way in which the country can be kept
from being plunged into a revolution.
The Radicals IN Madrid and other cities
have seized upon the present chaotic state
OF affairs resulting from the unpopular
war in Morocco as opportune for the in
auguration Of nationwide Industrial
strike such as is already under way at
Barcelona and IN tho suppression OF which
marital law has been declared there.
The launching OF an Industrial strike at
this time would, u IS feared. complete
the overthrow Of the government
As proof OF the widespread revolutions
ary movement appeals were received by
the ministry Of war to-day from a number
or garrison commanders throughout Spain
that they must have reinforcements az
speedily as possible or there Sc danger OF
serious province officials Joining the anti
government movement.
The growth Of dlsanection throughout
the country has greatly weakened min.
istry and its early resignation is looked
for.
Reports from Barcelona today say th'
declaration OF martial law there has had
no appreclable effect on the strikers, who
continue their meetings in denunciatoi
OF the war against the Moroccan tribes

II is now believed that the only possibl
means OF popularizing the war Will be 10

schools Short of Money

The Graham county schools are all running short of money, and the Saf- ford Journal says that most of the teachers are not able to get their vouch- CTS cashed. For a number of years the schools have paid up with strict punctuality, and every time voucher was ready it meant cash on the spot, but for various reasons that cannot be found out several of the districts are now behind and are getting farther be- hind every day. County Superintendent Woods has been asked about the matter. He tells us that the estimated revenue needed to run the schools of Graham county this year was $7S,99l.50, and that so far only 40 per cent of the amount has been furnished to his office for dis bursement, leaving $47 1895 90 yet to come.

The Phoenix Republican says. The contract will be let June for the de. molition of the old Bank of Arizona building at the corner of Center and Washington streets. and within thirty days afterwards the foundations of the new four-story office and bank build ing will be laid. Many changes have been made in the original designs of the building. The exterior of the first designs submitted by w. J. Bliesner, the architect, were rather plain in ap- pearance, but the last front elevation is much more ornate. All of the vain scoting in the bank proper will be from one single log of white mahogany. The log will be brought to Phoenix and sawed here, and the grains matched to give decorative effect. The pillars will be scagiola, with terra cotta capi. tals and ornaments. The doors to the building will be copper covered and the elevator shaft eneased in metal, so that there will be very little woodwork.

J. J. Riggs, citizen member of the board of control, has been subpoenaed as a member of the federal grand jury in Cochise county. As the holder of a federal office he is exempt from such service, but being dyed in the wool patriot he would not shirk it for that reason alone. However, Thomas Ryn- ming, superintendent of the territor al prison has been subpoenaed as wit ness before the same tribunal, and the only way he can answer the summons without turning the prisoners at Flor epce loose, is to turn them over to Mir. Riggs, as the law provides in such emer- gencles, the citizen member of the board being required to ride herd on them while the superintendent is temporarily off the job. Mir. Riggs has therefore wired the court at Tombstone asking him to please excuse him from jury duty.-~Aepubliean.

Water for Courtland

The Courtland Water and lee com, pany ran into 3 snag Monday that made good news both to the company and the citizens of Courtland. At the com. pany's well, mile north of the camp the workmen suddenly blasted into a pocket, from which a stream of water as big as a mans arm sprung forth, much as if Moses had struck the rock with his magic wand. The men were compelled to get out of the well, the company reports, and the prospects are that the supply obtained from the well in the canyon will now be large enough for the needs of the camp at the pres ent time. C think you can count that the company will have the water line to The Saddle, at the edge of the Great Western Townsite in ten days,' said Manager Cowan.
