Cerbere, Franco-Spanish Frontier,
July 2S.-Several thousand well armed
desperate Spanish exiles are gathered
on the French side of the frontier,
ready to invade their own country on
July 29
In Barcelona, the industrial center
OF Spain, a general strike and mann
moth anti.government demonstration
has been planned for the same date.
The invaders intend to march
straight to Barcelona and join forces
with the strikers The government
has been concentrating troops for two
weeks and the sending of 10000 vet
Grams into Barcelona Tuesday was
probably the first step toward putting
down the rebellion with an iron hand.
There is every prospect of desperate
fighting between the exiles and the
government forces and the disorders
that are expected all over Catalonia
will probably exceed in bloodshed
last summers rioting. Many people
doubt, indeed, if this years revolt will
be crushed out before the present
Spanish dynasty is overthrown.
Just how many exiles will join in
the march from here upon Barcelona
it is impossible to determine. Senor
Claremont, the leader of the rebels,
says there will be 10000 His esti-
mate is probably too high, but it is a
fact that the men have been reaching
here for more than a month and that
already 5000 or 10000 are on the
scene.
Exiles Asked General Amnesty.
The prospective invasion is to fol
low a formal demand from the exiles
themselves for general amnesty for
last summers outbreak. Knowing
that the exiles are made of irrecon
cilables the government refused
Clarempnt thereupon gave notice that
unless the government yielded by July
20 he would resort to force.
The general strike at Barcelona was
decided upon for the express purpose
of aiding the movement by giving tbs
government the trouble to look after
at home at the same time the invasion
begins on the border. The energy
with which the city's population gen
orally conducts a strike leaves nc
doubt that it will be an exceedingly
dangerous affair. Large quantities o.
arms. ammunition and bombs are sait
