Madrid.-Spain is in the travail of
revolution. A military coup de'etat,
originating in Barcelona, has spread
rapidly through various districts and
provinces of the country and has
aroused the deepest concern to the
government.
At the head of the movement is the
captain general of Barcelona, Prime
Rivera, man of strong influence and
powerful associations. Behind him
are the officers of the army, who have
been chatting for many months under
the ignominy of the Moroccan campaign,
and with the officers are the rank and
file, who seem ready to follow their
leaders to the end.
After protracted meetings of the cab
met message was sent to General
Primo Rivera requesting him to aban-
don the movement for patriotic reas-
ons, but he absolutely refused to do so.
The foreign minister, Santiago Alba,
who is believed to be particularly OBJ
noxious to the revolving elements, has
resigned from the ministry, as well as
the minister of labor, Felix Antinan.
The under er-secretary of war, General
Bernales Castro, informed newspaper
correspondents that the minister of
war had long conversation on the tel
ephone with the captain general of
Barcelona, who Informed the minister
that he had rebelled against some
members of the present government.
The captain general paid tribute to
Premier Alhucemas and the minister
of the interior, the duke of Almodovar.
A report current here was that the
government had sent warships to Bar
celona, but this was denied by the min
lister of marine. FL Sol announces

the movement and seized all commun-
icatiOns.
Complete quiet reigns here. The
people are pursuing their normal life.
Few military are seen in the streets,
and the police are, as usual, guarding
the public buildings.
1t is said that the military element
in Madrid is maintaining pacific
attitude, not wishing to disturb the
life of the nation. Most of the troops
LII Muullu are Cohliheu W .heii du"i
ters, and only some small groups are
to be found discussing reports of the
revolt. Apparently the bourse was not
affected, and there was no drop in
government securities.
Capt Gen. Primo Rivers explains
that his object is to relieve the coun-
try of the immemorial policies of the
present government, and declares that
the troops in Madrid and throughout
Spain hope for a decision by the king
removing the ministry, which is preju-
dicial to the nation.
Conditions are tranquil in various
parts of Spain, although disturbed in
some of the provinces, which are cut
off from communications.

Concerning his candidacy for the nomna-

il he entered upon it with his mind made up

il he did not secure the nomination., they
argue that he would come very near holding

The republican interest in his candidacy
for election would rest in the number OF radi-

party. The radical and ultra-progressive
voters in the republican party are likely to
come into some kind of an organization and
would be a tempting bait to some candidate

Every time the republicans get encourag

some wicked democrat and drops fly in
the ointment. There for instance, is Cordell
Hull, chairman OF the democratic national
committee, who constantly hangs, on their
TANKS with deathgrip over the sugar ques-
ton. He is out in statement today urging
ada in reducing the tariff on sugar, raw and
refined, which, he says, has resulted in a re-
duction to consumers. "In view of these
patent trade and economic facts" says the
democratic national chairman, 81 again call

action would at once reduce the price TO

and would, at the same time, destroy the
basis upon which wild sugar speculation has
been built up. With world tariff rates re-
duced so per cent by presidential proclama-
ton, Java, the British East Indies and other
large sugar producing countries would ship
in and sell to America, at least until the
price of sugar is brought down to reason

President Harding has been advised that
the price of sugar is not being maintained bv

tariff. The democrats intend TO harp on this
