REVOLT IN SPAIN
ALARMS ALFONSO
Desperate Battles at Barcelona and
Other Cities.
Purpose Seems to Be to Involve En-
tire Kingdom in Revolt - Spain
Wins Costly Victory at Me'illa--
Sedition at Home and FanaticsI
hoors Abroad.

Madrid, July 20. The revolution in
Catalonia has reached serious stage.
There is much bloodsbed. Artillery
has been employed in the streets Of
Barcelona to quell the outbreaks.
The city Is terror-stricken. Tho revo-
lutionists are reported to be lighting
desperately behind barricades. Tha
troops include mounted artillery and
the defenses Of the rebels have peen
raksd with shot.
King Alfonso fastened back to Ma
drid from San Sebastian today and is
sued decree proelaiming martial law
and suspension of the constitutional
guarantee throughout Spain. Orders
have beer given to the governors Of
provinces to crush the revolution at any
cost without hesitation and without
pity.
Today marks a black chapter in
SPANS history, for there was tragedy
both at home and abroad. The army
at melilla had bloody battle with the
Mocrs, which, though the victory was
won by the Spaniards, resulted in the
loss OF 81 officers and 200 privates kill
ed and wounded.
An exact estimate Of the dead and
wounded in the clashes between the
troops ard rebels in Barcelona is not
possible because Of the rigid censor
ship, and the government has not fixed
the total.

Miss Glenna Lynch to Wendell, Idaho,
Monday to perform the final formalities
in the purchase of a l go acre fruit farm
which they have bought with their
pooled earnings. If all goes we'll they
propose to leave their work here and
go out to Wendell, where they will
form little fruit raising colony.

project in view. They secured 100
acres of government irrigated land.

Miss Lynch will go through the final
formaitias necessary to acquire title
to the land.
Among the prospective farmers, in
addition to Miss Lynch, are the Misses
Adelaide Jackson, Marie Miller, Helen
Miller, Laura Hunt and Maud Lynch.
Most of them became enthusiastic
over the idea of investing in irrigated
land at meetings Of the Dressmakers'
Art club. The Idaho Guild was
launched with eight members, but a
few others have since become imbued
with agricultural enthusiasm and have
contributed from their earnings to the
land fund.

SPAIN SUFFERS GREAT LOSS
Troops Are Driven Back With 5000
Killed and Wounded.


Madrid, July 30.-Official dispatches
received here today admit that the
battle between Moorish tribesmen and
the Spanish forces outside of Melilla
July n was disastrous defeat. The
Moors cut off communication with the
Spanish outposts, and the main force
OF the Spaniards was driven back under
the walls of the city, here fighting con-
tinued desperately in the city.
Mellilla is full of wounded.
The extent of the disaster is plainly
apparent from General Marina's dis
patches given out at the war office
today. He says:
On July ~ the Moors cut the rail
road, severing communication with our
outposts. Our batteries shelIed the
Moors, but the advance posts were en-
dangered and they had to be abandoned.
The situation at Melilla is grave. de-
spite the desperate bravery of tn
troops, who are now fighting under the
walls of the city.
Our losses in the engagement were
General Pintos, colonel, two lieuten-
ant colonels, five captains and many
officers and subalterns and about 1000
men. The wounded number at least
! 100, including many officers. The
tfppodrome is full of wounded soldiers.
Two generals were mortally wounded. -

WILL DISTRIBUTE RICHES.
Reports Say Rockefeller Will Bestow
Millions Upon Poor People.


New York, July 2S.-That John D.
Rockefeller, the oil king, is preparing
to distribute good part of his numer-
GUS millions in charity is predicted by
those who profess to have acquaint-
ance with the Rockefeller plans. 1t is
said Rockefeller has already transfer
red many millions to his son, John d.
Jr., so that the younger Rockefeller
may have the honor and fame of being
the dispenser of princely gifts.
According to the accepted version of
the rumored plan, the money will be
given directly to the poor through GER
tain Rockefeller channels. Charitable
institutions and colleges will not bene
mt to any extent by the projected phi
lanthropy.
Like all other Rockefeller activities.
the distribution of wealth to the mass
es VIII be handled by company duly
Incorporated.
Just what method of charity will be
followed has not been ascertained. but
IL is said the money will be given out
right to the needy and that little will
be handled as loans. Whatever loans
may be made will be without interest
Rockefeller refused to discuss the
rumor in any part, but the activity of
MS agents has lent a certain color of
truth to the report.

Mexico City, July 3l.-Central Mex

and from Querato on the north to Oax-
AGA on the south, an area of more than
l, 200 square miles, was shaken yester-
day by series of the most severe
earthquake shocks felt in the region
for quarter of century. The lower
part of Acapulco, the whole of Chilpan

were totally destroyed. Reports of the

HUNDREDS KILLED
IN MEXICAN QUAKE
Acapulco In Ruins From the Many
Shocks and Tidal Wave.
MazatIan Laid Waste While Recover
ing From Destructive Fire--Snips
Sunk in Acapulco Harbor, Caus-
ing Great Loss of Lite-Many In
terror Towns Destroyed.

Mexico City, Mexico, July Blum
dreds of lives we're lost, innumerable
persons were injured and great prop
erty loss resulted from earthquakes
which shook the entire Southern part
Of Mexico, extending from Oaxaca on
the Southeast to Acapulco on the Pa
ci6c coast, which was partially devas-
tated at o'clock yesterday morning.
Eleven dead are reported in this city,
and 81 bodies have been recovered at
Chilpancingo.
Adding to the horror of the quake a
tidal wave SWEEP the city of Acapulco,
carrying down the bamboo houses
which line the shore, with hundreds of
occupants, who were unable to escape.
Most of these, it is said, were women
and children.
Driven panic-stricken from their
homes by the quake, it was some time
before the inhabitants realized the
predicament of the families in the
poorer quarter. Fires which started
gained good Roadway, and these
added to the death list.
The total number of dead in Acapulco
is not known, it being difficult to get
details from there tonight over Federal
wires.
About 100 miles inland from AGA
pulco the towns of Taluca, Puebla,
Horles and Chilpancingo, the capital
OF the state of Guerrero, also suffered.
A runner reached Chilpancingo with a
report that the town of Mazatan, a
near seaport, which was only recently
swept by fire, was again devastated.
The people there had only commenced
to rebuild, and the damage, therefore,
was not as great as it otherwise would
have been.
Reports have also been received from
Reopan. Zapate, Providencia, Atoyac.
Ayutla and Chilpa, and it is said seve-
raj people were killed in each place.
while there was also a great loss of |
property. Iguala, Teloloapan, Cocula, |
Cutzamala, Amatepec, SalteIec and
other towns north of the Balsas river
suffered. Some of these reports have
reached the city by native runners, or
have been received from the territories
by Federal wires.
The shock was felt as far as Oaxaca
on the Southeast, and great rumblings
are reported in the ground in many |
places, while the quake threw MANY |
bridges out of plumb on the Ouerna-
yacal railroad. Many of the towns
where damage is reported are practi
cally isolated, having only runners as a
means of communication with the out
side world. Every effort is being
made to get details of casualties, but
it may be weeks until official reports
are received by mail.
Acapulco is in the earthquake zone,
and many temblors have been expert
snced there. but the present one, which
was followed by tidal wave. is said
TO be the most destructive in the his
tory of the seaport.
In the tidal wave several craft in the
larbor, 1t is said, were sunk, increasing
he loss of life.

MAKES NEW RECORD.
OrviIIe Wright Remains in Air fer
More Than an Hour.

More Than an Hour.
Washington, July 28.-The worlds
aeropIane record for two men, both as
to time and distance, was broken last
evening in a beautiful fight of hour,
IL minutes and 40 seconds-upward OF
30 miles, and at a speed averaging 40
miles an hour, by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, with Lieutenant Frank p.
Lahm, of the army signal corps, as
passenger.
The former record was made last
year by his brother, Wilbur, at Lee
mans, France, with Professor Paintov,
of the French institute, as passenger.
That flight was hour, 9 minutes and
81 seconds. Wilbur was an eager
spectator Of yesterdays fight
The cheering that heralded the set
ting of new mark in the conquest of
the air was led by President Taft, who
was an intensely interested spectator
throughout the flight. This success
was all important to the Wrights, in
that it completed the first Of two cru
ical tests of their machine imposed
upon them by the United States gov
eminent - the so-called endurance
test" which required them to remain
one hour continuously in the air with
one passenger. Orville did nearly 10
minutes better than that, and could
have kept on ndefnitely-three hours
and a half, the limit imposed by the
gasoline capacity of the supply tank.
