The situation Is worst in the Prov
inoe OF Valencia, saysv Canalejas. At
Carcagenta an Alcira the commune
has been proclaimed. Alcira is es-
pecially in the power of the revolu-
tionists.
The town hall and two other pub
lie buildings have been burned by the
revolutionists, who tried to burn a
nunnery. A bridge has been blown
up, the railway cut and the fate OF
the civil guard is not known.
The captain general has sent
troops to the scene. The foreign in
stigation has been observed more
! particularly in the Province of Var
encia.
TIE last time martial law was de-
clared in Spain was In the summer OF
1909, when the efforts Of the govern
ment to put down the revolutionary
outbreak eliminated in the execution
of Prof. Ferrer, distinguished edu-
/ Gator of antimonarchical principles.
! The trouble which began at Bar
| celona was caused by popular opposi-
ton to the Spanish campaign against
the Riffs in Morocco. The calling out
4 OF reserves for the reinforcement OF
the army was a signal for q general
/ strike and the beginning of mob viol-
ence.
/ Barcelona was for time at the
mercy of mob, which burned
churches and monastic institutions
Much blood was shed before the dis
turbances were suppressed. This was
late in July. Early in August an at

Madrid failed. Ferrer was arrested
charged with being the prime mover
in the revolutionary activity at Bar
celona, was tried by court MARTA
and shot October 13.
