REPORTED REVOLUTION.

It is reported that q revolution has
broken out in Madrid.
The trouble is said to be due tc
popular anger against the Madrid gov.
ernment's supposed contemplation OF q
new Moroccan expedition to enforce
Its demand for an indemnify OF $3l,
100000 for the recent var. Public
feeling ir Madrid for the last few days
has been greatly excited over this sub
ject.
The socialists and republicans heve
been agitating the matter, and, accord
ing to the government, they have been
tampering with the discipline OF the
army.
81 Mokri, Morocco's represel tat've
at Madrid. has repudiated liability for
the indemnity. He also pleaded his
Ecountry's inability to pay, and he is
apparently supported by France, who
saw her lien on the Moorish customs
threatened by spain's insistence.

Recent Strike Said to Have Caused
the designations.
Paris, Nov. 2.-The entire French
cabinet, headed by Premier BRAND,
today rendered its resignation to Presi.
dent Fallieres. The resignation, it is
understood. is for the purpose OF re-
cognizing and dropping from the cab
met ministers whose views are not IN
accord with those of BRAND. Presl
dent Fallicres requested the ministers
TO assure him that they would remain
in their positions for short time.
It is believed that new cabinet,
headed by BRAND as prime ministers
will be ready for presentation to the
Chamber Of Deputies tomorrow for
confirmation.
The designations OF the ministers
we're rendered after stormy session Of
the cabinet.
The cause Of the resignation is said
to be the difference OF opinions be-
tween the ministers, reaching climax
in the recent railway strike, which
BRAND put down by the free use OF the
troops and the ordering OF the strikers
to colors as reserves, and forcing them
to fill their own places, under military
supervision. 1t is understood that sew.
eral OF the ministers desired.
1t is understood that several OF the
ministers desired to resign at that
time, but all agreed to retain their
portfolios until tho affair had been
ended and the storm in the Chamber
of Deputies weathered.
BRAND, by his sensational speeches
in the chamber Saturday and Sunday,
in which he declared illegal methods
Of government were excusablc TO put
down illegal act of citizens, won vote
Of confidence from the deputies. As
| soon as the vote was returned, the min
istry prepared its resignation.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV.

THE democrats throughout the coun-
try should be OF good cheer for the tide
is running full i'll their favor and the
indications are now that on next Tues
day democratic House OF Representa-
tiyes will be chosen. According to
reports from Ohio, that state will un-
doubtedly be carried by the democrats.
Even many OF the republicans have re-
Gently admitted that there seemed 10
be no chance whatever Of defeating
Governor Harmon. The republicans
have been badly divided for more than
n wear, and the latest advices are that
since the republican state committee
Felt that it was necessary to try TO

is decidedly worse for the grand old
party." As Ohio is the presidents
state. it is.considered only natural that
Mr.. Taft should be anxious to save the
day for his party, for in addition to the
humiliation OF defeat for the candidate
OF his political faith, it is realized by
the head OF the nation, the members 0

rials In the Washington departments
that Il will DO a black eye for the ad.

Reports are coming Iii that the follow
ers Of Foraker are bitter in tile extreme
against the managers OF the campaign
for calling him off simply because he
exercised his privilege OF criticisins
Mr.. Roosevelt. The latter is private
citizen and so is the ex-senator, and
gossip has it that the friends and ad'
mirers OF Foraker are indignant and
reyengeful over the treatment OF Mr.
Foraker, even il in their more sober
moments the managers reconsidered,
Tor policy's sake, and have asked him
10 make sane speeches. But the harm
has been done, and the Ohio republic
rams are so divided into factions tina
the general belief is the democrats wi
sweep the state next Tuesday.

London, Nov. 2.-That an armed re-
volt against King Alfonso is now al

pressed today by persons who have
kept ia close touch with the Spanish
situation.
Up to date there has been no con-
firmation OF the widespread rumors
that a revolution has broken out is
Madrid and Barcelona; but neither has
there been an official denial. The
censorship in Spain has been frightened
to the point ofabsolute secrecy, and 1t
is impossible to obtain any news from
the Spanish capital.
1t is understood that the jails OF
Madrid are filled with ploters who have
been trying to instigate the army to
join in an armed uprising.
The volcano OF revolution has been
rumbIing and muttering in Spain for
many months, and It'll believed that
the success OF the republicans in Portu-
gal has inpired the Spanish revolution
lists to greater activity.
Longon, Nov. 2.-An official denial
that there has been a revolutionary
outbreak in Madrid or in any other
part OF Spain was received here this
afternoon.
The denial omits any reference to the
discovery OF widespread revolutionary
plot.
Information which reached here this
afternoon from Lisbon indicates that
the Spanish government has discovered
a. widespread revolutionary plot. The
plot is reported to have been revealed
to the authorities just before it was
sprung, and the result was that huld'
reds OF arrests were made throughout
the kingdom.
According to these same reports, the
rumors OF a revolt were occasioned by
the hundreds OF arrests that were made
simultaneously in every part OF Spain,
all the arrests being accompanied by O
