SPANISH SOLDIERS
HEMMEO IN TIGHT

GIBRALTAR. July 29.-Oficial news
from Melilla received today shows that
the besieged Spanish garrison is in a
serious strait and has been compelled
to retreat into the forts at MeliIla, IN
der the guns Of the Spanish warsh;ps
in the haTbOT.
All the outposts previously held by the
Spanish have been given up to the vic
1orious Moors and the Spaniards, sore
is. pressed, rely upon the warships' shells
TO save them from surrender or com
plete humiliation.
The news Of the death Of General
Pinto. the brave Spanish general, who,
under the orders of General Narinas,
has been in personal command Of all
the actual lighting on the outpOsts. has
given heart TO the Moorish besiegers,
and they have charged the Spanish
works again and again, despite their
terrible losses.
So fierce have the Moors' rushes been
that every outlying position the Span
laTds had held had to be given up, the
Spaniards retreating, under CALLING
fire. Though the Spaniards claim the
Moorish losses have been terrible, and
seek to minimize their own losses. 1t is
known that the SpaniardS have suffered
heavily in dead and wounded, and that
unless more re-enfOrcementS are rushed
10 the beleagured city, even the heavy
guns Of the warships viii be unable 10
save the remaining troops.
Under orders from General MarinaS,
the beleaguered garrison have given up
all attempt to hold the captured out
posts and are making no more OF their
fatal sorties in the hope Of driving back
the MOOrs.
Gunboat Makes Capture.
A Spanish gunb0at today captured
blockade runner manned by 100 of the
Kabyles tribesmen. The ship was
packed with thousands of the latest i'm
proved army rifles and hundreds Of
thousands of rounds Of ammunition,
which are being rushed to the Moors'
around Melilla. who. because Of their
victory. are receiving many recruits.
The Moors are using hat-nosed lead bull
ets-duu-dums-which cause terrible
wounds These bullets have been
barred by civilized countries, and the
Spaniards, in retaliation, are niCking
their steel jacketed bullets, making
them just as brutal.
Four entire regiments of seasoned
troops embarked today from AlgeCiras,
under orders To rush with all possible
speed to the relief of Melilla.

tillery batteries are being taken away

SDaniards, the city would have fallen

SPIRIT OF REVOLT
ENGULFS ALL SPAIN

LONDON, July 2e.-Spain is making
her last stand against revolution, IN
the opinion of English students of in
ternationaI affairs. She may succeed
in putting down the present uprising
without becoming involved in an actual
revolution, but it is believed here that
the revolutionary spirit has gained TOO
much strength in tire present disorders
10 be successfully checked. and within
q short time another revolutionary
wave viii ensulf the country and put
an end 10 the monarchy.
The most sinister aspect of the sit
uation IL the fact that the present dis
orders should be fomented at a time
when the country is enga ged in a for
eiSn war; IN fact, should arise out of
this war
Under ordinary circumstances n for
CIgn war is sufficient 10 temporarily
sink all national differences and unite
the people in common cause.
Dynasty Between Two Fires.
The national discomfort in Spain is
deeper than suspected. and the events
of the last few days make it incon-
ceivable that King Alfonso can ever
check the growing sentiment against
the government
The dynasty is between two fires
The war with the Moroccan tribesrIen
must be fought 70 q successful con-
ClusiOu. or the country is lost. To con,
Uuer the tribesmeu will mean d ire
mendous outlay Of money and men
and every dollar that is spent and eVers
soldier that falls simply adds 10 the
clamor at home and increases the ma
ti9nal peril.

saw in il a precedent for our entan-
clement in European affairs. To have
had the treaty rejected by the Senate

been peculiarly distasteful TO the Pres
ident aRd humiliating 40 the dignity Of
his Government. Foreign powers know
in a general way the limitations OF tie
tTeaty-making power of this country;
but they persist in not quite gTaspipg
the whole significance of the fact that
the Senate is a full-fedged partner in
the treaty-making function. II required,

the United States was exactly the same

convention; but in one case the United
States had to be a party TO the peace.

suit was that the Portsmouth convention

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS
NOT PROPERLY LOADED.
Court Sets Aside Verdict Against
F. w. WOOlWOrth.

The Supreme Court has set aside the
verdict for damages recovered In the
Essex Circuit Court by Caroline Ham
mel against +. w. Woolworth, on the
ground of error in the admission of
hypothetical questions addressed to ex-
pert witnesses. Miss Hammel claims
to have sustained injuries in a fall in
the Woolworth store in 1903; the suit
was brought In 1905.
Justice Parker, who wrote the opin-
ion, says that the hypothetical ques-
ions offered by counsel for the plain
tiff did not include material facts
which had been proved by the testi-
mony, and which were essential for the
purpose of forming an intelligent opin-
ion as to whether Miss Hammers con-
dition at the time of trial was entirely
due to the fall.

IN DAMAGE ACTION.

Walker Case.

The Supreme Court at Trenton has
sustained the action of the Essex Cir
cult Court in it's refusal to grant a non
suit in the damage case instituted by
William c. Walker against the North
Jersey Street Railway Company.
While driving in Bloomfield avenue or
His way from Newark to Bloomfield In
October, 1906, Mr.. Walkers wagon was
struck in the ear by a trolley car. The
basis of the motion for a non-suit was
that Mr.. Walker had contributed tc
the accident by turning out of n tracl
into another to pass a truck and Their
turning back into the right-hand tract
in front of an approaching trolley car
The court holds that this does not con
stitute in itself evidence of any care
lessnsss on the part of lhe driver.
