ACTIVITY AMONG
SPANISH MILITARY
men Is FEVERISH
Great Effort Promised To Retrieve
the Disaster of Armed
Forces at Melilla

Madrid, Sept 10.-Dispaches from
war correspondent in Melilla Morocco
report feverish activities are going
on in preparation for"the advance on
the rebellious Moroccan tribesmen.
Spanish war vessels of the various
classes will assist the artillery in its
preparation for the advance, and will
serve as protection for columns after
they leave Melilla.
Nador, to the south of Melilla.
serves as one of the chief points of
resistance for the moors and it is be-
lieved many are camped there ready
to pounce on trains and detached par
ties of Spanish soldiers. The strictest
precautions are being taken to prevent
news of Spanish military preparations
from reaching the Moroccan camp.
but large numbers OF natives inside of
Melilla often find an opportunity to
leave and to communicate with their
relatives outside.
El Liberal today prints a report
that dissensions among the Spanish
military chiefs in charge of the bone
of Morocco and those connected with
the ministry of war in Madrid, saying
that possibly these dissensions caused
the delay in the Spanish offensive. The
rumor is believed here to be false but
it is causing much comment in mill
tary circles and political centers.

while New Yorks standing was 6O5S
on the basis of SO victories and "a de-

rain. Twelve points separated the

Washington, Sept. 10. Revision

from internal revenue this fiscal year

principal points of disagreement are

Republican leaders apparently are not
as optimistic on this point as they
were a day or two ago.

CABINET CRISIS
FEARED IN SPAIN
BY GOVERNMENT
Arrange POstponement of Parlia-
ment to Prevent Unfavorable
Criticism At This Time

Madrid, Sept. 10.-Governmental
authorities have planned delay in
the meeting OF parliament. despite the
general opinion that the two cham
bers will convene on Sept. 27. 1t is
said that this delay is contemplated
because of the fear that the govern
ment may be attacked by deputies
who have visited Melilla and have
found there was lack of prepara-
tion for the campaign against rebel
lious Moroccan tribesmen.
There is a considerable divergence
of opinion among members of the
ministry, it is said some of them be-
ing in favor of complete disclosures
of conditions. before parliament and
the country, while others desire to
maintain the present system of si-
lence regarding the progress of
events. 81.
1t has been known for some time
that the ministers have not been pull
ing together but it was supposed they
would come to some arrangement by
which the country would be Gncour-
aged to believe the combination a
strong one. The delay decided upon
in starting the offensive at Melilla
against the Moroccan tribes has
caused perturbation in ministerial
ranks and it is probable this will have
the effect OF causing postponement
OF the acts of parliament.
Unless this is done. It is believed
the cabinet will seek in vain for the
support of the liberal elements which
dislike conservative regime and
would be glad to cause difficulties to
those holding power, although pos
sessing little hope of turning them out
of office

New York, Sept 10.-Recovery of
quoted values in the stock market
made more substantial progress this
week, the movement being attended
by a pronounced increase of prepar-
ations and other accelerating factors
Developments at Washington and
industrial and commercial quarters
were distinctly helpful, while thu
Mexican oil situation offered ground
for encouragement. Betterment in the
steel and iron trade was seen in the
increased production of pig iron.
According to impartial observers,
much of the weeks appreciation Of
prices in stocks was made at the eX
pense of professional shorts. That
'acticn, it is generally believed, ma
terially reduced its committements in
the last few days. Rails were the only
impcr rtant shares to hold back in the
advance Their sluggishness was the
more noteworthy because of the
strength shown by railway equip
ments, notably Baldwin and American
Locomotive and kindred issues
Money on call and time evinced ar
easier trend but bankers warned
against further expectations in thai
quarter in view of the crop moving re
quirements and impending heavy in
