ARTILLERY REVOLT
STILL ST|RS SPAIN
Many Officers Fail to Give
Pledge to Government.
Several Arrests Made.
By the Associated Press.

BIARRITZ, France, November 90
The trouble between Spanish Artillery
Corps officers and the Spanish govern
ment remains unsettled and a rather
turbulent state of affairs exists, says
Spanish artillery officer who has ar
rived here from Irun, Spain.
Gen. Fabriciano Haro v Porto. who
was dismissed as chief of the artillery
section following the abortive rebellion
Of the artillery corps early last Sep
tember, has been arrested, together
with his brother and lieutenant
colonel and captain, and taken to the
military prison. 1t Is alleged by the
Spanish officer here that military docu-
ments Of a compromising nature were
found in their possession. The judge
advocate general is investigating the
case.
Gen. Haro'S arrest came after the
receipt by the Spanish authorities of
information concerning a meeting at
his residence which was attended by
all lieutenant colonels suspended from
the artillery regiments. AT the confer
ence, it is said, a resolution was adopt
ed that 1t was impossible to sign the
new terms for reinstatement as laid
down In a recent royal decree vir-
tually inviting the suspended officers
to return to the ranks and be restored
to active duty.
The officers expressed a desire to be
transferred to the reserve, however,
which they could not do unless they
.applied for active reinstatement. The
documents were found in the home of
Gen. Haro's BROTHER after the police
failed to discover anything of that ma
ture at Gen. Haro's residence.
1t Is asserted that at meeting at
tended by all commanding officers of
the Madrid garrison the officers were
requested to record their adhesion to
the government. Many of the higher
and weather. officers of the artillery
decided to retire from the service,
while others. it was revealed, already
had found civil employment.
