battle and the situation, complicated
by the intrusion of Don Jaime, the ex-
lied pretender to the throne, may, un-
der existing conditions, easily develop
as acute features as those of last year.
Already the government is taking pre-
cautions and prohibiting demonstra-
tions from which disorder might result.
The clerical element, which has often
before won similar battles in Spain,
shows no hesitation in entering upon
the conflict and seems to have set its
aim not upon minor concessions and a
compromise acceptable to the holy see,
but upon the downfall of Canalejas and
his cabinet and the cancellation of the
entire program of reform. The with
drawal of the imperial decree permit
ting non-Catholic organizations to dis
play the insignia of public worship,
which furnishes the ostensible cause of
the conflict and for the severance of
diplomatic relations, assumes second
airy Importance.
Would Modernize Spain.
Monsignor Vico, the papal nuncio to
the Spanish court, was recalled by Pope
Plus X. The action of the holy see
followed the recall of Ambassador EN-
lilo de Oieda by King Alfonso.
With the mutual recall came the sew
erance of all diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Spanish
court.
Brings Alfonso to Front.
The abrupt severance of friendly re-
lott Of Snaip with Wati
brings King Alfonso into the fore
ground of European politics. The oppo-
nents of the young monarch have
doubted the sincerity of the king Is anti
religious actions from the time the
church and state locked horns in Spain.
Today they praise the kings stand and
give him credit rather than Premier
Canalejas, who still is held in popular
suspicion.
Miss Morgan a Queen?
With the ancient monarchy of Spain
standing upon the threshold of civil
war which may rend it from the Pyren-
mes mountains to the Portuguese boun-
dairy, and the fact that Don Jaime, pre-
tender to the throne, is threatening to
head revolution, has not caused any
more excitement than the report in
Bourbon circles in Paris that Miss Anne
Morgan, daughter of j. p. Morgan,
multi-millionaire, may become queen of
Spain.
For months society journals published
from time to time stories of the inter
est which Don Jaime shows for Miss
Morgan, and which they say is recipro-
Gated by her. Paris now learns for
the first time that Don Jaime IS latest
entrance into Spanish affairs is to head
a rebellion which may be financed by
J. P. Morgan.
1t is believed that, together with the
millions of dollars which may possibly
come from America, Spain is ripe for
the revolt which will not only over
throw the government, but will estab-
lish Don Jaime on the throne, which he
has long claimed was his by right of
law.
No Idle Dream.
The possibility of Miss Morgan be-
coming queen of Spain some day is by
no means so vague as to be impossible.
Spain is essentially a Roman Catholic
nation, and the people cling to the faith
with more tenacity than patriotism.
With the Spanish, the church of Rome
comes before the state and the king.
No wonder then, considering these
circumstances, that Don Jaime has
rallied to the cause of the Spanish peo-
pie, volunteering to lead a revolution
in defense of the Vatican against the
Uovernment of A lnhonso
Don Jaime Hero.
Don Jaime has been hailed through
out the provinces of Spain as a hero,
His threat to throw Spain into civil
war conceded with the fiery determine
tion of the Spanish people to punish
Alphonso. Ever since the waging of
the war in Morocco and the Barcelona
riot the excitement throughout Spain
has been tending more and more to-
ward anarchy,
Later Report.
Rome.-The papal nuncio at Madrid
Mgr Vico, has not been recalled by the
Vatican, which is awaiting the official
announcement of the recall by the
Spanish government of Marquis d.
Oieda, ambassador to the Vatican. The
situation with regard to the rupture
with Spain therefore remains practically
unchanged.
The Vatican is greatly offended al
the methods adopted by Premier
Canalejas in the recall of the Spanish
ambassador, as the announcement wal
made through the press and neither tbs
papal nuncio nor the Vatican was mott
fed directly. AS a consequence, tn,
papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merr,
del Val, has not been able to take any
measure of retaliation, but it is believed
