under martial law.
The agitation ami the power Of the
agitators on the masses have increased
in proportion TO the rigor OF the repres-

What at its origin was purely a labor
movement has now developed into
revolutionary conflict, the commune
having actually been proclaimed at two
towns near Valencia. At these places
the authorities have ben driven out OF
the districts.
The affiliated trade unions have de-

Spain, and the government abandoning
the tone Of optimism heretofore main

step Of "suspending the constitutional

The present movement is perceived TO
be socialistic and destructive in mar
acter. and well known Republican par
liamentary leaders are standing aside.

yesterday.
Late dispatches from Valencia say
that the agitation in that city was re

ricade and derailed a streetcar in one
part Of the city. while another mob
tried 20 storm a convent. In the street
lighting one workman was killed and
several wounded.
II is reported that the residents Of
Alcocer. before the troops arrived,
burned the public buildings, dynamited
a bridge and cut the railroad.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken in Madrid. All the police have
been armed with carbines.
Premier Canalejas was called to the
palace late tonight TO report the situa-
ton 20 King Alfonso. on leaving the
palace he told the newspaper men that
the situation generally was better. ex-

Strikes have also been declared at
Bilbao, Saragossa. Cadiz, Huelya, Sc

OF these places the movement has been
