SPAIN WARNS VATICAN.

Premier Canalejas said on Saturday
that il the negotiations between the
Spanish government and the vatican
over the revision OF the concordat were
broken off Rome would be responsible.
He said:
THE full text Of the Vatican's re-
ply has not been received yet, but we
know from the telegraphic summary
that it does not constitute Il respones
to our note, but is confined exclusively
to a protest against the imperial decree
of June IL, and is therefore an in
yasion of the states sovereignty, which
is not tolerable. The church falsely
accuses us of an attack upon the Catho-
lie religion. We are simply defend
ing the sovereignty Of the state.
Premior Canalejas added that If the
Catholics persisted in their threats OF
civil war he would have recourse 10
the courts.
A dubious element in the situation is
the attitude OF King Alfonso, upon
whom great influence is being exercised
TO cause him TO overthrow the Canalejas
ministry. At the same time the pre-
mier is holding the monarch to a strict
fulfilment of the promises which he
says Alfonso made when the present
cabinet took Office.
Canaleias s religious reform policy has
aroused the bitter antagonism of the
Spanish episcopate and Of Catholic so
cieties throughout the country. AT q
recent meeting of the Catholic defence
societies it was announced that before
the policies outlined were permitted tC
become law, Spain would undergo ;
perilous crisis, as Catholics preferred
civil war TO the lay school system.

AUTOMOBILES ACCIDENTS.

After striking Ruth Wood, To-
year-old colored girl, near Rockville,
Md, yesterday afternoon, Roy n.
Palmer, Washington automobile
agent. lost control of his car. 1t
dragged the girl so yards, dropped
down a small embankment, threw Mr..
Palmer out and then went on another
so yards until a negro stopped it.
Mr.. Palmer's skull is fractured. The
girl died last night.
Mr.. Palmer was probably overcome
when he hit the little girl, who was
walking along with four companions.
She was almost at her door when the
car came along. She seemed be-
wildered and ran to the right side OF
the road when her companions went
the other way Her mother was in
the door and saw her child hit. At
the moment of the crash the car
swerved as if Mr. Palmer had col
lapsed. 1t went wild across the road,
then turned to one side and went
down the declivity. A wheel flew
off and the driver landed on his head.
A negro, who happened by, jumped to
the wheel of the machine and stopped
it 80 yards farther.
