NOT EVEN MADRID

Hendaye, France, Sept 20-Beyond

that there is fighting between troops
and civil guards and the striking pop

much is known as to what is going on
in King Alfonso's country, today. Not
only is the government censorship al

AS a result of this severing of con-
nections, it is unlikely that even the
Madrid government is very we'll post

provinces This is exactly the condi-

been planning for a long time. Their
idea has been, by isolating Madrid,
to prevent the rushing of troops to
outside danger points. and, in the SOL
diers' absence, to secure possession of
so many cities that the country will
be virtually in their possession and
then to close in on the capital, itself

doubt, however, that a genuine at

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-20

The Farmer some few days ago af-
ter publishing and distributing and

nounced that enough citizens had
signed the petitions to assure the
placing the question of the issuance
of $500, 900 in bonds before the cleo

the Farmer is in position to an

is a positive fact. With the closing
day. the petitions were filed as re-
quired by law with Town Clerk Will
liam Thomas, whose duty It was to
check each signer on the voting list.
The town clerk a few days ago
started what he considered would be
an arduous task, but was surprised
to find most Of the ballots arranged
systematically and alphabetically by
streets so that he was in a position
to make an official announcement this
afternoon that he had checked 2,s09
ballots, more than enough to assure
the referendum, and that there are
several bundles of 100 each upon which
he has still to pass, making the total
of citizens who express their
views in favor more than 3,400.

throne and there are indications. that
the outlook for the revolutionists'
success is bright enough to have
thrown the King and his advisers in
to transports of alarm.
At points where the loyalists are in
control, the jails, it is said, are being
filled to overflOwing and reports are
current Of many of the summary exc
Icutions which characterize the govern
ment's method of dealing with all spch
outbreaks as the present one. There
are many localities, however, where it
is said the revolutionists have the up
per hand, and are making short work
of the royal authorities and especially
of the hated civil guards, who are
scattered in details of from 1.-TWO to
three up to a score Or so-except in
the large cities, where their numbers
run into the housands-all over Spain.
yRumor has it that dynamite is be-
ing freely used in the revolutionary
campaign, that parties of guerrillas
are being organized to take the field
at once in, the event of the crushing
of the revolt in the centers of popu-
lation, and that arms and ammuni-
tion, previously smuggled into the
country, and hidden for months, or
even years, past, are being produced
in enormous quantities. The rising
seems to have been well arranged in
advance, for Spanish political exiles
and foreign radicals of all types of
opinion have been slipping across the
frontier into Spain for days past.
When the present outbreak of strikes
began these revolutionists were
prompt to turn them from industrial
into political channels There is no
definite infornation, on account of
the censorship On kilograms, as to
whether the strikes scheduled for to-
n cfo
country Or not, but it is certain they
did so in many localities.
The impression prevails here that
the throne is in the utmost danger.
The Spanish government is permit
ting the transmission of news only
from places where it is in control of
the situation. 1t does, however ad-
nit that the general strike includes
Cordova, which means the tying up of
the big mines in the neighborhood. in
which foreign capital is heavily in
terested.
