Austin, Texas, July 11.-With the
board of pardons was filed Friday
an application for pardon for Earn
est Williams, aged II years, who was
convicted on a charge of arson from
Ellis county and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. Williams
has already served one year of the
sentence. The application was made
by Dr. Sewell and M. w. Hawkins,
who appeared also in person before
the board. They claim that Williams
is suffering with consumption, and
that he was only factor in the com
mission of the crime for which he
was given five years in the state pris-
on. The board will pass upon the ap-
plication In a few days.

precautionary Measures in Spain.

San Sebastian, Aug 5.-The govern
or OF San Sebastian today issued Il
proclamation against any but the
regular Catholic gatherings on Sunday
and prohibiting outsiders bearing arms
from entering the town.
This last precaution was taken as
a result of the report that the village
priests in the Biscayan provinces were
giving arms and ammunition TO their
parishioncrs and urging them to march
on San Sebastian. Ike authorities
throughout all the northern provinces
today began Selling trains and boats
to prevent general movement against
San Sebastian on Sunday. The pros
pect now is that only Il few thousand
people will attempt TO carry out the
plan for demonstration against the
governments course in the Vatican
dispute. The authorities have acted
with such dispatch and have the city
so we'll guarded that the public gener-
ally seems deferred from making a vlo-
lent demonstration.
Sundays demonstration is being
financed by a number OF wealthy arls-
trocrats, who, now that the govern
mcnt has seized the trains and boats,
are hiring all available horses and au-
tomobiIcs for the Use OF those who wish
to reach San Sebastian.
Further reinforcements for the local
garrison arrived today. The soldiers
are supplied with ball cartridges, but
the government has instructed the
commanders not TO fire unless the sit
uaton assumes the grayest aspect
The reported insurrection in several OF
the Biscayan provinces proves to have
been only personal clashes between
republicans and Carlists and republicans
and clrrclIs. These clashes are be-
coming more frequent and it is
feared they may yet lead to widespread
disorder.
