Standards May Revolt.

London, July Spain appears to
be in the throes of a revolution. In
well informed quarters here it is be-
heved that the fall of the Spanish
monarchy and the rise OF a republic in
its stead is only a matter of days, per-
haps hours. This view is justified by
the latest developments in Spanish
politics. The leading parties in the
nation have formed a republican
''bloc."
