SPAIN lS 0VERRUN
 WITH SECRET SPIES
BelliSerent Powers Suspect All
 Travellers in AlfonS0'S Domain

Washington, D. C., June 14.-In a communication to the National Geo. graphic society, Herbert Corey, the war correspondent, chara cterizes Spain as country dripping with spies, A part of Mr Grev's com munication is issued by the society as the following war geography bull letin:
 Tn war time one wanders in Spain without the annoying formalities of travel in the belligerent lands. It Is difficult to get into Spain and much more difficult to get out for the country drips with spies, and Spain's neighbors are insistent as to the cre- dentials of travellers. Inside the line one wanders as he wills An oc- casional wise from a police official Is all that is required, and the police are even willing to abet mild erran- cies. It was from the host of the Hotel Europe that this was learned Llivia's existence had just become known.
 It is difficult to go to Llivia you understand said he. It is a Span
 sh village, true; but it is inside French territory, and the French do not like to have strangers go there. It is true that one goes there by neutral road
 The situation seemed difficult, but Catalan kindness conquered it. If the host of the Hotel Europe seems singled out, it is only because he is typical of all other Catalans with whom I came in contact. I was travelling without other visible lug gage than a, camera. My pockets bulged disreputably with the various necessities of life. I entered his hos hours in a mule cart. and yet he went to infinite pains to aid me. With that fatuity that sometimes comes upon one, l tried to tip him. This is public apology. It was he who solved the problem of getting to Llivia.
 "I shall see the chief of police said he. These worthies contrived a plot against the laws of two coun- tries. The chief wrote out a. paper which. upon translation, seemed to be an assevera ton in Catalan that I had long been favorably known to him as a resident of Puigcerda. The host of the Hotel Europe enlisted the him In the story he waa to tell. I was to say no word, for my pitiful incapacity in all tongues known in the Pyrenees would have betrayed me at once.
