P>-The gravity of the situation in Madrid, which eliminated in the re- volt of the artillerymen, did not be- come known until noon last Sunday, says an eye witness of the events in the Spanish capital who has arrived here.
 The rebellion started Saturday, he said. Previously there had been rumors of a contradictory nature, but an official statement was issued at noon Sunday admitting that there was a conflict. It said that loyal troops had surrounded the artillery
 barracks and that no one was per mitted to approach them. The com manders and officers of the corps
 had been told to go to their homes and remain there.

Actual Mutiny Reported in
 But One Instance Rivera as Much Disliked
 as New Army Regula- : tions-Saturday's refer
 endum Causes Worry War-Like Scenes in Bar racks.

Paris, Sept. s CP1-Unrest, in the form of passive resistance, is gen. eral throughout the entire Spanish army. It has eliminated thus far in actual mutiny, however, only in the artillery corps. It is directed as .ruch against the premier, Gen. eral Prima Rivera, himself, as against the new army promotion regulations, which provide for cleo tion instead of elevation by the old methods of seniority.
 This is the concensus of reliable information trickling through the Spanish censorship into French border towns like La Hendaye, Biar- ritz and St. Jean De Luz
 Advises from Hendaye quote a leading Spanish talesman, who de- clined to permit his name to be used, as expressing the opinion that the quarrel between the artillery branch of the army and Primo De Rivera means the downfall of the dictator. He said the premier possibly, in order to save appearances, might retain office for a short time but that the end of his rule was in sight that the armed forces which brought it into power would destroy the dictatorship.
 Says Strife Is General
 A high Spanish army officer in Madrid is authority for declaring that the strife, while at present ma teriaIly affecting only the artillery corps, is general In the army.
 Tt came to the surface" said this officer, through complaints of in feriors who gained the confidence of the government after having been unsuccessful through the regular channels. To reply to the com plaints with words so violent and so radical as the government has done seems to be to have been III ad- vised Primo De Rivera cannot have lost his mind, and l cannot under stand how he reached out and brought about the present situation of tenseness and violence.
 T believes that the army is on the side of the government less to fight it's comrades than to give just another example of obedience. I do not believe the government will or der the army to fight its brothers, or that it would fight them if 1t were 50 ordered. The dispute will be set tied by negotiations but 1t will un- doubtedly weaken the government" :"
 The optimism manifest in the Primo De Rivera's communiques is said not to me shared by other gov ernmenG officials in Spain- It is as-

wave of uneasiness percaded official i circles. Those vitally interested in the welfare of the nation expressed the belief that King Alfonso would refuse to approve Primo de Rivera s decree of a state of war as being prejudicial to military discipline. Officials began to realize that the country was passing through a crit ical period. The general staff off cers who were ordered to take over the artillery barracks refused to do 30. There were rumors that the en- tire army would rally to the side of the artillery corps.
 Primo de Rivera acted without the express authorization of the king in issuing the decree of a state of war. All communication was sus- pended both inside Spain and to points abroad.
 Public Indifferent
 The citizenry met the situation with marked indifference. They went to church. to the bull fights and theaters. They viewed the de velopments as none of their busi-
New Britain herald., 1926-09-08

ness.
 At ? p. m., Sunday the govern ment communicated by telephone with the artillery barracks in Madrid ordering the men to sur- render with their guns and their equipment. The men simply received the orders and did not reply to them. A committee Of artillerymen went to see King Alfonso. who had hurried back by automobile from San Sebastian. and presented their demands to him. The king said he would see that the demands were met on condition that the officers ceased their activities.
 Movement Spreads
 The movement already has spread to other military bodies, principally those which had been ordered 10 arrest the officers and soldiers in the artillery barracks. and which refused 10 comply. This explains why civil guards finally were sent to perform this task.
 One newspaperman managed to enter the dock barracks. He said

serted that 1t is true the artillery officers and the men who made com- mon cause with their superiors de- livered up their arms and the bar racks and other establishments to the civil guards, but that 1t was only after having received specific orders from the secret artillery council that the government had promised assurances that 1t would give heed to the demands of the artillery men.
 Report has it that the resignation of Primo de Rivera is only a ques- ton of time: that the dictator will give up the help of the Spanish ship of state as soon as the trouble with the army has been ended and that a military man more in the confi- dence of King Alfonso will succeed him. General Martinez Anido, min- ister of the interior: General Da- maso Berenguer, the new head Of the kings military household, and Admiral the Marquis de Magaz, am- bassador to the vatican. are men, toned as possible successors of Primo de Rivera.
 Referendum Saturday
 Serious concern Is felt over the outcome of the national referendum to be held Saturday, Sunday and Monday to determine the attitude of the people toward the present government now that the "beloved artillery" have become the target of 1 ways has been considered most loyal to the crown and among the nations | best soldiers. It is therefore con- sidered that their dispute with the premier Is bound to be reflected in | the plebiscite.
 Spain from one end to the other rebels against the idea of the refer endum ordered by Primo de Rivera ! for in 1t only those who favor his regime will be permitted to vote. II is pointed out that while in the biz ! centers of population 1t will be pos, sible for persons to refrain from voting, in the small villages and towns people abstaining from re. cording a favorable opinion will lay themselves open to possible persecu. ton by the authorities.
 It is alleged that under the sys, tenn Of plebiscite chosen, which vii be absolutely one sided, 1t will b. impossible to prove with exactitud. the signatures on ballots. Among the 22 million inha bitants of Spair there are about 14 million adult. over eighteen years of age. Ant | according to the last census, approx imately 60 per cent are entirely il. literate.
 It is contended, therefore, tha | fraudulent voting will be very easy The calling off of the referendum is already being talked of.
 Pathetic Incident
 One of the most pathetic inci dents of the present strife occurred at the royal palace. Lieut.. Col Loriga, a veteran artillery instruct or, who acted as teacher to tho royal princess and who tutored Kinl Alfonso, resigned and left the pal ace hurriedly as soon as he heard O. the dispute between his branch o, the army and the premier.

could see from the outside were the muzzles of guns of the guards or look into the mouths of cannon threateningly emplaced before the barracks The doors were bolted. Journalists intent on getting close to the walls were warned off by the guards and even threatened.
 Scenes Of War Days
 Inside the barracks the scene re- sembled war days. The soldiers were awaiting orders for their ar rest or detention and also of sim liar orders for the soldiers who had made common cause with them.
 Military headquarters meanwhile issued a proclamation of state of war. The customary ceremonial was pursued. Soldiers astride horses and accompanied by trumpeters posted the proclamation. The pub lie, however, read 1t with indiffer- ence.
 Army engineers were said to have joined the movement, and it was re- ported that army physicians had abandoned their hospital posts. A

 Politicians of the old guard, who were previously busted from their positions by Primo de Rivera. at tempted to obtain the support of the artillerymen when they went on strike" but met with curt refusal to comply.
 "Our dispute is purely military" was their reply. "We are not an undisciplined corps. We are gentle men who ask for nothing but jus tice and will remain at our posts until 1t has been granted. Our ad- hesion to the monarchy and to the king remains absolute. Our pa triotism written in blood on the field of battle in Morocco. All we de- sire is that the government shall treat us with consideration and jus tice. Our government is not poli- tical, nor can We permit it to be- come political. That is our reply to those who would have us act otherwise than legally"

All the soldiers seemed to sense the seriousness oY the situation and appeared prepared for the worst. Officers had sent subalterns to their homes to fetch food and clothing.
 The captain geenral of Madrid personally went to one of the bar racks to make an appeal to the men to cease their activities. He was given the honors due his rank and delivered the governments decree. To this he received no reply and withdrew.
