Madrid, Sept. Ig.-Spain is face to
face with crisis equal in gravity to
that following the riots in Barcelona
in 1909. The agitation and the power
of the agtators on the masses have
increased in proportion to the rigor
of the repressiye measures undertaken
by the government.
What at its origin was purely a labor
movement has developed into revo-
lutionary conflict, a commune having
actually been proclaimed at two towns
near Valencia. At these places the au-
thorities We're driven out of the dis
tricts.
The Affiliated Trades Unions have
decided to call a general strike to-
morrow throughout the length and
breadth of Spain and the government,
abandoning the tone of optimism here
tofore maintained, today decided upon
the drastic stea of suspending the
constitutional guarantees throughout
the whole country.
It was explained, however, that in
so doing the government did not seek
to prosecute the Trades Union but it
was made clear that any attempts to
stir up a rebellion would be rigorous
ly punished All meetings have been
forbidden The military authorities,
ii is further stated officially, will not
assume control except in extreme
eases.
Late dispatches from Valencia say
that the agitation in that city was re-
newed tonight. \ mob threw up a
barrieade and derailed a tram ear in
one part of the city, while another mob
tried TO storm a convent. In the street
fighting one workman Was killed and
several wounded.
Premier Canalaias was called to the
palace late tonight to report the sit
uation to King Alfonso.
Madrid. sept 19,-King Alfonso today
signed a decree suspending the constitu-
tional guarantees throughout Spain. This
is equivalent to declaring the country
under martial law.
This act, which has been under consid-
GRAFTON for some days. was taken to give
the government powers To deal sharply
and promptly with the revolutionary agi-
tation now fermenting in many parts OF
Spain, especially in the cities and indus
