SPAIN FEARS REVOLT;
Martial Law ENFORCED
Action Follows General Strike Procla-
nation by Unions.

Martial law prevails in Spain, dis
patch from the foreign minister to Senior
Riano. Spanish Ambassador to the
United States. revealed yesterday. Consti-
tutional guarantees have been suspended
by the Spanish government as the result
of the manifesto of the Workingmens
Union calling for a general strike. The
dispatch also said the press and public
generally condemned the action of the
union.
The foreign minister's cable was as
follows:
"A manifesto having been published by
representatives OF the Workingmen's s
Unions proclaiming a general strike
without fixed date. clearly with revolu-
tionary purpose, and with the idea dis
turbing public order. which was very
marked at a public meeting held last
night. the government has suspended
constitutional guarantees after having
arrested by judicial order the signers of
the manifesto. Absolute tranquility
reigns all over Spain and the government
trusts in the common sense of the
workingmen and the efficaciousness OF
the measures it has adopted to preserve
public order. All the press condemns
the unjustihed attitude Of the representa-
tives OF the workingmen."

Robert, the horse which usually saun-
ters about the alleys Of the Nations Capt.
tai with Garbage Wagon No 3s4, OF the
Washington Fertilizer Company, attach
ed to him. yesterday morning took a
plunge into the sewage system beneath
the city.
Robert was sauntering along through
the alley at the rear of 2312 L street
northwest. when the notion to go SWIM
ming struck him. William Wright, who
attends to the collections along the route
Of wagon No. 334, was on the job and
was greatly surprised when his steed
disappeared from view.
Robert had slipped on the sewer basin
and in some manner had plunged into
the sewer proper. He was splashing
about in great style when William ap-
peared. and for a time 1t was thought
that Robert might Draw his carriage with
him. Then several persons came to the
assistance of the driver of the wagon
and Robert was rescued. Apparently he
was not injured by the dip into the cold
waters of the sewer.
