was now more rapid than at any time
in China's history, though the advance
was by no means being made as fast
as Japan had progressed.

not strong, and has many reaction

Spanish Minister ReneWS Order
Against Demonstration

MADRID, Aug. A renewed and
formal prohibition of the proposed
manifestation of the clerical forces at

next Sunday was today issued by the

San Sebastian on the same day, great
apprehension prevails.
The clerical press publishes today
further articles of extreme vehemence
against the government. The organ
izers OF the anti-governmental demon
stration have, in circular letters to the
clergy, urged them to incite their con-
gregations to refuse obedience to the
prohibition of the demonstration.

ORDER PAPAL NUNCI0 TO BE

ROME, Aug. 4.-MonsignOr Vico, the
papal nuncio to the Spanish court, was
given instructions from the Vatican to
be ready to leave Madrid at a mo-

issue to the negotiations. This points
to a complete disruption of relations
between Spain and the Vatican, and
indicates that little is hoped for the
answer that Cardinal Merry del Val is
now drafting. The note will not be
