CONDITIONS IN SPAIN,
strike situation Becoming More Serious
Daily-GeneraI Uprising Feared.

Bilboa, Spain, July 19.-Martial law
in the strike ridden district was today
refused by the government. although
the larger employers, whose thousands
of hands are on strike, have made ur-
gent appeals for the suspension OF the
constitution and rule by the military.
The government officials fear that the
declaration Of martial law will be the
sign for an instant rebellion and that
bloody fighting, such as occurred all
over Spain early in the year, will fol-
low. For that reason the request was
temporarily refused, though thousands
of Spanish veterans who are known to
be loyal are concentrating in this dis
trict. ready for instant action.
The general strike situation is grow
ing more serious each day, the labor
agitators meeting with great success
in their efforts to plralyze the industries
of the nation as Il protest against the
action of the government. There is an
air of untoward anxiety manifested
about the war and home offices, active
preparations being under way to quell
a revolt in its incipiency. 1t is not de-
MED that a general uprising in the
revolutionary districts is feared by the
government.

STOLE 4 MISERY'S $4,000.

The prediction, often made TO Joshua
Higgans. that he would be robbed OF
his lifetime savings because he did not
trust banks, came true Sunday, when
robbers entered the house while the old
man slept and secured a sum estimated
from 81 900 to 5000 in gold, silver
and paper. 1t has been known for
many years that Higgaus, who lives
alone, four miles west Of Gumboro,
Del, kept thousands OF dollars secreted
in his home.
The old man made his money by
farming and fishing and up until few
years ago was a money-lcnGcr. but
suddenly became imbued with the idea
that those to whom he had loaned
money intended to beat him out OF it.
and calling in all his wealth. he hoard
ed it.
Mr.. lIiggans says he was aroused
about 8 O'Clock yesterday morning by
strange noises and, jumping from bed.
ran quickly to where the trunk was
stored. He became frantic upon find
ing il gone. Selling shotgun he ran
from the house and fired several shots
in various directions, hoping to frighten
the thieves so that they would drop the
money. He finally called neighbors to
assist in the search, but no tracks could
be found. In the money stolen was
about 1000 in gold.

STRIKE aEERTED.

General Manager w. Fl. Myers, oil
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the
committee representing the $4,000
trainmen and conductors employed
on the lines OF the road east OF Pitts
burg. yesterday agreed on Il basis for
the settlement of the wage controversy.
Each side claims to have gained all
that it had been contending for in
the negotiations which have been in
progress for the past six months and
which eliminated last week in the
strike vote by the employees.
The proposition offered yesterday
by the railroad officials and accepted
by the men includes a minimum
day or 10 hours, as detailed in the
New York Central award. On certain
runs, where the company's present
rate is higher, the rate will not be dis
turbed.
The classification OF these excep-
tional runs and the question Of over
time were left to be decided at CON
ferences between the various members
of the committee and the dilision SUI
perintendents of the lines which they
represent.
It was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed 26 days work a
month. While the men regard this
as concession, the railroad officials
say that during the recent hard times
the men were benefited by being
worked on short time, rather than
being laid off altogether.
