MADRID. September 1T.-It Is be-
lieved the next important act of Cap
tain General Primo Rivera, now die
tator of Spain, viii be to abolish the
Spanish constitution and draw up a.
new one. In which case the monarchy
would be stronger than eveP, wsksfle
the church and both houses of parIta-
ment would suffer.
The military coup now Is most pop-
Clar and is considered the only means
of saving Spain from the graft that
was slowly bleeding the country
Moreover, the specter of bolshevism
for the moment appears to have been
dissipated. The coup having been
led by the Catalonian Primo Rivera,
differences between the capital and
that turbulent province may be
solved.
Gets Tremendous Ovation.
The new dictator received a tre-
mendous ovation when he arrived in
Madrid. He announced that he would
terminate all political favoritism, i'm
prison all .grafters, dissolve both
chambers of the cortes, abolish all
political jobs and discharge employees
figuring only on various pay rolls and
never appearing in their Offices He
promised that swift justice would be
administered by competent judges to
Moroccan debacle and that all per-
sons sentenced to death by the trib-
unals would be shot imn nediately.
His address eliminated in a predic-
ton that when 1 leave the palace IN
Madrid after an audience with the
king. Santiago Alba (the ex-foreign
minister) will enter prison.
From Biarritz, whittier Senior Alba
fed after the coup d'etat. comes a
statement that the refugee left Spain
only until he could see how the crisis
would terminate, and that he would
publish a document in his defense.
Alba. also claims that he is willing to
undergo trial before one or a hundred
tribunals. However. the feeling In
Madrid Is that he never will return
to Spain through fear of losing his
head.
Former Premier Alhucemas. who
now Is in Madrid, Is in the hands of
the military dictators should they
want him, but his public record Is
considered as clean as Alba's is un-
standing trial. Gen. SCavalcanti. cap
tain general OF Saragossa. In an inter
