Excursions.

While there is competition in abund-
snce, Chevy Chase Lake appears to
steadily gain in patronage. Its popu-
larity is undoubtedly traceable to the
ease with which one can reach the re-
sort, quite as much as 1t is due to the
variety and high character of the
amusements offered. Rain or shine -
the Marine Band performers are on
hand every evening dispensing music
for the dancers as well as for the en-
tertainment of those who come for the
concert. The musical program for the
latter is terminated at about 8, after
which hour the pavilion is the center
Of attraction for the majority. There's
no entrance fee at Chevy Chase Lake.

Los Angeles DYnamiting Case Takes
New Turn.
Los Angeles--The sudden departure
from Albuquerque, N. M, of an i'm
portant witness for the state in the
coming Mcnamara trial, was reported
by wire here to the prosecution.
The witness is D. K. Diekelman
who was night clerk at the New Bal
timore hotel in this city September 29
1910, 48 hours before the Times ex-
plosion, when a man registered there
as 81. B. Bryce" Diekelman is said
by the authorities here to have identi-
fed J. B. Mcnamara later as the man
who registered as @Bryce.'
Recently Diekelman left the employ
of the hotel management and has been
working for a railroad restaurant sys-
tenn. He has been gradually working
his way East, it is said, and reached
Albuquerque about three weeks ago.
The prosecution had its agents where
they would keep in touch with him.

REVOLUTION THREATENS SPAIN
General Strikes Called and Nation is
Under Martial Law.

Madrid-Spain is face to face wit
crisis equal to that following tn
riots in Barcelona in 1909. The agi
tation and the power of the agitator
on the masses have increased in pro
portion to the rigor of the repressivt
measures undertaken by the govern
ment.
What, at its origin, was purely a
labor movement, now has developed
into revolutionary conflict, COM
mune having sctually been proclaimed
ut two towns near Valencia and the
authorities driven out.
The affiliated trades unions have
decided to call a general strike all
over Spain, and the government has
decided upon the drastic step of "sus-
pending the constitutional guarantee
throughout the country. This virtu-
ally means martial law.
Meetings have been forbidden. The
military authorities, it is said Off
cially, will not assume control except
in extreme cases.
At Bilboa troops fred on crowd
that was endeavoring to free prison
ers, including strike leaders, who
were being taken through the streets.
Twenty-six persons were wounded.
The situation is grave.
King Alfonso has signed decree
suspending the constitutional guaran-
tee throughout Spain. This act,
which had been under consideration
for some days, was taken to give the
government power to deal sharply and
with the revolutionary agi-
tation now fermenting in many parts
of Spain, especially in the cities and
industrial districts, where republican
and revolutionary plans are being
furthered under cover of workingmen's
strikes.
The most serious situation is at
Valencia, where general strike was
declared. The city was at once
placed under martial law, and though !
there was more or less rioting
throughout the day, the authorities
had matters pretty we'll in hand until
after dark, when the disturbers
rented their fury in an attack on the
officials in the adjacent township of
Cullera.
The rioters murdered judge and |
wounded other officials of the court |
which had been engaged in the trial

The mob was finally dispersed by
guards from the custom house.
