In Clashes With
 Government Troops
Members of Chamber at Head of Strike Movement Break
 ing Out All Over Spain
Special from United Press3

Madrid, Sept. 13-Strikes are break ing out all over Spain.l They are of a revolutionary character and the gov ernment shows signs of grave alarm. The constitution was suspended yes terday. at Bilbao, and, today, at Viz caya. Flights are occurring frequently between the troops and strikers, es- pecially at Bilbao, where 1000 soldiers have already been concentrated and more are arriving.
 Pablo Iglesias, the Spanish Socialist leader. and Rodrigo Soriano, one of the most prominent Republicans in the country. both members of the chamber of deputies, are at the head of the strike movement and doing their best to give it an anti-monarchial com pleXion.
 To add to the governments trouble, there are fresh signs of hostility on the part of the natives in the Spanish sphere of influence in North Africa. It is officially announced that a Span ish Colonel and 15 men were killed in a battle on he Kert river bank. The native losses were much heavier but they are still aggressive. Should Spain become involved in a fresh u1l- popular African campaign at such a time of unrest at home as the present, the consequences would certainly be most serious.

Clara Barton Red
 Cross Founder Is
 Hale At Ninety
Sojourning at Her Country Home in Oxford She is Far From Dying and Bids Fair to Live Many Years

Meriden, Sept. 13-The many Meri- den friends of Clara Barton, the foun- der of the American Red Cross as- sociation, will be pleased to learn that the alarming report as to her critical condition is untrue
 Francis Atwater. who has been an intimate and confidential friend for many years, visited Miss Barton at her country home in Oxford. Mass, yesterday, and was pleased to learn from her own lips the truth as to her illness.
 After congratulating Miss Barton that he had not found her at deaths s door, MT. Atwater reminded her she could say, like Mark Twain did when the story was circulated that he had died and it came to his ears that the fact was grossly exaggerated"
 Miss Barton smilingly acquiesced.
 She said as to her present illness, perhaps she might be dying as the papers had stated, but she did not be- 1feve it. Her condition just now was due to overwork. Last winter she had an abscess in one lung, not pneumonia as has been D rinted, but that was all healed over. Through the spring and summer she had taken such exercise as she thought would improve her lungs, but had noticed from time to time that she felt faint after such ex- ertion.
 When her nephew, Stephen E.. Bar ton, was at her winter home in Glen Echo, Md, a few weeks ago he ad- vised her to come to her summer home in Oxford. She hastily consented as she could be near her cousin, Dr. Stone, who is a resident of North Ox- ford, whom she desired to consult as to her condition. Dr. Stone, upon her arrival, made a careful examination, and stated she was in perfect health, with the exception she was having muscular trouble with her heart; that her lungs were all right. What she had done for them in exercising was the wrong thing.
 Miss Barton said what had put her in bed was the fact that in her haste to accompany her nephew to Oxford she could not get her housekeeper when she arrived and as there were many visitors, some to be entertained at lunch, she had done, her own work and had been overcome with fatigue and trained nurse is in attendance
 Miss Barton again reported she might be dying as the reports stated, but she did not believe it. and. in- deed, the firm pressure of the hand, the healthy body, not at all emaci- ated. the clear mind, and the conpect- ed story told of her life for the past few months. confirmed the fact that her chances for many more years of usefulness are of the best.
 Clara Barton at the age of ninety is not old, and it is expected that she may come to Meriden, many times in the future as in the past, the guest of MT. and Mrs. Atwater.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs raw in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are. true medicines carefully compounded of in- gradients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract. For over three decades Foleys Honey and Tar Com pound has been standard remedy for coughs. colds and affections O. the throat, chest and lungs for chil- dren and for grown persons, and it retains today its pre-eminence above all other preparations of it's kind.

RoyaIist Plot
 Laid To Manuel
Wholesale Arrests in Portugal and Ex-King May be Forced
 From English Soil
Special from United Press ]

(SpeclaI rom united PreSS.) M Lisbon, Sept 13-WhOlesale arrests are being made as a result of the dis covery of a formidable Royalist plot against the new Portuguese republic. The conspirators have headquarters at Iran Castello, where important docu- ments were, today, seized, duplicating special personal friends of ex- King Manuel himself.
 High officials in the Republican government say Manuel is encouraging the Portuguese Royalists from his haven in England and complaints will probably be sent to the British minis try of foreign affairs, Inasmuch as it is known that the ex-King has all ready been told he must not involve England in any dispute with Portugal it is considered not unlikely that he may learn his departure from British soil is desired.
