precautionary Measures in spain.

San Sebastian, Aug . The govern
or of San Sebastian Today issued a
proclamation against any but the
regular Catholic gatherings on Sunday
and prohibiting outsiders bearing arms
from entering the town.
This last precaution was taken as
result OF the report that the village
priests in the Biscayan provinces were
giving arms and ammunition TO their
parishioners and urging them to march
ON San Sebastian. Tie authorities
throughout all the northern provinces
today began Selling trains and boats
to prevent general movement against
San Sebastian on Sunday. The pros
pect now is that only few thousand
people will attempt TO carry out the
plan for a demonstration against the
governments course in the Vatican
dispute. The authorities have acted
with such dispatch and have the city
so well guarded that the public gener-
ally seems deferred from making a vio-
lent demonstration.
Sundays demonstration is being
financed by a number OF wealthy arls-
trocrats, who, now that the govern
ment has seized the trains and boats,
are hiring all available horses and au-
tomobies for the use of those who wish
to reach San Sebastian.
Further reinforcements for the local
garrison arrived today. The soldiers
are supplied with ball cartridges, but
the government has instructed TIE
commanders not 10 fire unless the SIT
uation assumes the grayest aspect
The reported insurrection in several OF
the Bscayan provinces proves TO have
been only personal clashes between
republicans and Carlists and republicans
and clericas. These clashes are be-
coming more frequent and it is
feared they may yet lead to widespread
disorder.
