MADRID. Aug. 6.-Anti- cIericaIs
were greatly aroused to-day over a
report that the Catholics had abandon
ed the idea of holding gigantic
meeting Of protest against the gov
ernments course In the vatican dis
pute as a result OF promises OF con-
cessions from the government to the
church These concessions, it .s said,
were ordered by King Alfonso on the
advice OF his English relatives. with
whom he Is now visiting. They are
said to have impressed the youthful
king with the CAVITY of the situation
and of the necessity OF not alternating
the great bulk of Spanish Catholics.
II concessions have been made, an
anti clerical outbreak seems inevita-
bic. The liberals and republicans are
in no mood TO witness the govern
ment's surrender to the church after
the apparently Arm stand OF the last
few days. and now that religious and
governmental liberty have been ad-
vanced. they will fight before submit
ting to q retrogressive policy.
The announcement of the complete
abandonment OF the plan for a meeting
OF protest occasioned considerable sur
prise and La accounted for only on the
ground Of the military movement by
the government or the reported con-
cesssons.
II has been known for several days
that the pouring of 10000 soldiers
into San Sebastian had disheartened
the leaders Of the proposed demonstra-
ton. but X had also served to infiaTne
thousands of the Catholics In Basque
provinces and violent, even. though
small, demonstration was feared.
