The Kings proclamation of MAJ
tial law throughout the countrv %,
lowed his arrival from San Sebastisn
from which point he had been snml
moned by Premier Maura. Tho o.
hcial dispatches of the night boa
continued to show an alarming Gov
dition of affairs at Barcelona ana
neighboring towns in Catalonia
A special meeting of the cabinet w,.
summoned. The situation in tbo d;s'
turbed districts, as we'll as the cr;t;-
cal condition of the Spanish mil,
tary forces In Morocco, was fully Ale
cussed. The result of the conferenco
was the issuance of the Kinks de'
cree proclaiming martial Law
, throughout Spain and the suspension
of all constitutional guarantees,
The latest reports from Barcelon,
shows the condition there increas'
ingly grave. The rioters have AZ.
tackled the convent of the Little Sis.
| ters of the Poor. This followed tbe
riotous disorders when the mob as.
saulted and then burned several M
the religious establishments.
New disorders are now reported
from two other interior points Al:
fol and Rioja.
This shows that the zone of non.
ular agitation is spreading beyond
the turbulent Catalonians and is AZ.
fecting the Valencians.
The Minister of the Interior ia
beseged with inquiries as to the
serious outbreaks, but he declines
to make public the details of the
disorders in the Valencian towns. He
has announced, however, that the
government will adopt the most
urgent measures of repression with
view of giving an example to the
turbulent element.
Another dispatch received in off.
cial quarters states that the custom
house has been closed on the from.
tier near Cerbere, owing to the pop.
ular demonstration against the gov.
ernment officers. The rioters con.
tinue to tear up the railways and
noisily intervene at the points where
reserves are being recruited for
military service. The chief indigna.
tion of the people is directed against
the governments policy of rapidly
recruiting large army to cope with
the condition confronting Spain in
Morocco.
The inhabitants of Culera, a small
station of the Port Bou Line, mad.
dened by the sight of a passing train
carrying recruits, destroyed the road.

Latest advices received here from
Barcelona say that the bakers are
refusing to sell bread. At Figueras
the excitement is intense. The mani.
festants dragged an engineer and
fireman from their train as 1t was
leaving the station for Port Bou.
Latest advices from Barcelona
state that eight persons have been
killed and so wounded in a collision
between the police and populace.
The soldiers refused to obey orders
to shoot into the mob. which ac-
claimed them with cries of Long
live the army" At night Barcelona
is in darkness. All the shops have
been closed and shuttered, and ac-
tivities, outside those of the mobs
and the police, have been completely
suspended.

Mexico City Especially. - With
Chilpancingo destroyed and Acapul-
co partly razed and the loss of life
problematical, Central Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Querato on the north to Oaxaca on
the south, an area of more than
1000 square miles was shaken at an
early hour by a series of the most
severe earth shocks felt in the re-
glon for the last quarter of CEN
tury. The quake was severe in Mex
leo City, but not prolific in destruc-
, tion.
Reports telling of the loss OF life
are meager, but the official figures
thus far given show 13 killed and
more than a score mortally injured.
While word comes from g. Poy-
ros, an American commercial trav-
eler at Chilpancingo, Guerro. that
that city was destroyed and the in
habitants are living in the open, suf-
fering from the elements, the loss
of life is not definitely known. The
shocks continued at Chilpancingo,
with subterrannean rumblings and
flashes OF lightning, rain and hail.
Acapulco, Guerrero, was partly raz-
ed. but the extent of the damage is
not definitely known, as communi-
cation with that part of the republic
is not well established
According to the observatory rec
ords the first shock of the series
was felt at Ais A. NJ, the rocking
oscillating being from the east to
southwest. 1t was severe, causing
the bells of the many cathedrals OF
Mexico City to toll, breaking crock
cry and in some instances leveling
walls.
The inhabitants of the capital had
hardly recovered from the fright oc-
casioned by the quake when a sec
ond and more severe shock caused
an outpouring Of nearly all of the
residents to the streets Nand omen
plazas. This movement was of a
twisting character and lasted with
marked severity for 80 seconds. The
tall buildings of the capital swayed
and in some instances cracked, the
pavement opened in places and in the
poorer quarters a number of houses
collapsed.
So far as can be learned from
police records six persons lost their
lives in Mexico City and its environs
as a result of this second shock
Two were men of the lower class,
the others being three women and
a child. Four persons are now in
hospitals and they cannot recover,
it is said.

Madrid Especially Spain is rent
by two fears-the fate of the army
in Morocco and the situation in the
Mediterranean provinces in Cata-
lonia. AT the outskirts of Melilla
the Spanish arms have suffered a
serious check. Three thousand SOL
diers have either been slain or
wounded. and the Moorish hordes
are fighting at the very walls of the
city itself.
News from Barcelona, the center
of the revolutionary outbreak, is ex-
ceedingly meager and unsatisfactory.
From Lisbon comes the report that
the revolutionists are using bombs
and that 100 persons were killed
and zoo wounded during the earlier
stages of the conflicts.
II was officially announced that
the cavalry engaged at Barcelona
succeeded in driving into st. Mar
tins Square the principal bands of
revolutionists, against whom the
artillery opened fire, causing great
losses. The survivors surrendered.
Inc ofnclal statement further says
that 1t now remains only to master
small groups of revolutionists in the
villages in the vicinity of Barcelona.
Premier Maura's announcement
that the situation in Barcelona show
ed a little improvement. and word
from Melilla that the Moors were
retreating from Mount Guruga only
slightly appeased the general in
quietude. The Moorish forces. how
ever. have been strengthened by the
arrival Of 5000 additional tribesmen.
and the official judgment that 75,-
600 Spanish troops are needed TO
overcome the tribesmen would indi-
cate that the Melilla army of Span
iards is in sore straits.
Moorish army is marching on
Alhucemas and a warship has been
hurriedly dispatched from Melilla to
aid the garrison there.

Hiauc 1nC1dents Or Trial.
Washington, d. c. Especially. -
orville Wright attained the zenith
of hard-earned success. In a 1O-mile
cross-country flight in the famous
aeroplane built by himself and his
elder brother. Wilbur, and accom-
panied by Lieut.. Benjamin d. Fou-
lois, an intrepid officer OF the Army
Signal Corps, he not only surpassed
the speed requirements OF his con-
tract with the United States govern
ment, but accomplished the most
difficult and daring flight ever plan
ned for heavier-than-air flying ma
chine. incidentally, he broke all
speed records over measured
course and established beyond dis
pute the practicability of the aero
plane in time of peace and war.
Wright's speed was more than AZ
miles an hour. He made the 10
mile flight in IA minutes and AZ
seconds, including the more than 20
seconds required for the turn be-
yond the line at Shutter Hill, the
southern end of the course. He at

The cheering which heralded the
setting of new mark in the CON-
quest of the air was led by President
Taft in person, who had sat an in
tensely interested spectator through
out the fight, and who insisted at
its conclusion upon personally con-
graduating the brothers upon their
success. This success was all-import-

tempest Kills One Man and Does
Damage in Gotham-Two Cases
of Insanity.

Chicago, June 29.--In spite of occa-
sional storms, there was no let-up yes
terday in the killing heat that has held
the whole Eastern section Of the Unit
ed States in its grip for the past week.
Ten deaths were reported in this city,
due solely to the heat; in New York
there were two deaths from heat and
one from thunder storm that swept
over the city late in the day. Pros
trations were almost without number,
here, in New York, in Philadelphia
and Boston.
Here there was some relief afforded
late last night, when cooling breeze
swept in from the lake. 1t was not
regarded as permanent break in the
hot wave. however, and emergency or
ders were issued by the police throw
ing open the parks and Fairgrounds to
men and boys. Many took advantage
of this, and crowds from the poorer
sections of the city sought breathing
space for the night in the open.
During the day a man named Carl
Summers became demented from the
excessive heat, and rushed into the
waters of Lake Michigan for relief.
Though he was rescued the shock prov
ed too great for him. and he died later
in the hospital.
The Salvation Army will take 2, 500
poor children on lake trip today.
