SPAIN NEAR WAR
In MOROCCO SCARE
Apology Follows Deliberate
Insult to France.

Madrid, Aug. 12.-In Spain the mistake
was made, during the earlier stages OF
the Morocco embroglio. Of considering 1t
in too serious light and the govern
ment tried the rather risky experiment
OF playing to the gallery by a series OF
more or less deliberate insults to France.
which came dangerously near provoking
war.
Evidently the Spanish government
thought to please Germany and many
were those who saw In Spain nothing
but a German agent provocateur. Ger
many, however lost no time in warning
Madrid, and as soon as II was realized
that Spain would have to fight her own
battles Spanish statesmen tumbled all
over each other in their eagerness to
apologize to France.
In France war with Spain would
have been popular. because many French
patriots believe that a victorious war Is
Just what their country needs to arouse
it from its present unsettled state. The
French people as a whole dote on their
army and consider It the finest and
strongest IN the world. They hesitate
to measure its strength against Germany
for the memories OF 1870 are still too
vivid, but with Spain 1t would be another
matter, and Canalejas did well when he

PORTUGUESE LONG
FOR OLD REGIME
Urge People to Restore Man
uel to Throne.

Libson. Aug. 12.-Portugal is heroically
trying to make the world believe that the
republic Is now firmly established and
that return Of the dynasty BraganZa is
altogether impossible. but somehow Eu-
ropean diplomats hesitate to believe that
the Portuguese people are happy and
satisfied with the new form OF govern
ment
The fact Is that were a referendum to
settle the matter 1t would undoubtedly
be seen by the Portuguese vote that the
country was in favor OF the re-estab-
fishing Of the. monarchy, not because IL
has any particular love for its profit
gate young ex-King, but because the
people are devout Catholics, and the
priests are preaching day and night that
the present republican government is in
be supported by any true Christian.
To offset the exhortations OF the clergy,
the government is trying to prove that
Manuel and his whole family are trait
ors to Portugal But, somehow, stories
like the one recently circulated-that a
trunk had been found in the royal pal
ace containing papers which the King
promised Germany and England all the
Portuguese colonies IL they would crush
the revolution-do not find credence in
Portugal
That the republican form OF govern
ment is far from being firmly establish
ed is amply proved by the reluctance
Of England and Spain to recognize the
Portuguese republic.
