STRIKE BECOMES
NEAR REVOLUTION
Government Expects Trouble in
Barcelona on Ferrar Ex-

BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 10.--A
state of increasing excitement reigns
in Barcelona. The success of the revo-
luton in Portugal appears to have
famed the fire of rebellion that has
smouldered since the furious outbreak
of year ago.
There was the greatest animation in
the streets today. The people pretend
not to notice the patrols and civil
guards, which ere being strengthened

ties on October 10, the anniversary of
the execution of Prof. Francisco Fer

of Barcelona, who was convicted of
having melted last years revolutionary
movement.
General Weyler, captain-general of
Catalonia, admits that the strike of
miners here is taking on revolution
ary character. He says that his orders
are to suppress any active disloyalty
with a firm hand.
Yesterday 10000 stern faced miners
marched to the cemetery In the sub
urbs and placed wreaths upon the
tombs of Ferrer and the revolutionist
Garcia, who also was executed in
consequence of what has come to be
known as Bloody Week"
Violent speeches were made by the
miners, who charged the clericals with
responsibility the executions. A
spectator who shouted 1T was your
fault as well as the clericals" was
seized by the miners, and had been
beaten almost to death when he was
rescued by the police.
The military and police forced the
manifestants to. return to Barcelona in
small groups.
