Rule, But Danger Is Past
MADRID, Dec. 18.-The Span
ish government. after crushing
the republican rebellion begun
last Friday and in full control Of
the country despite lingering
strikes in several cities involving
100000 men, decided today to
ask the Portuguese government to
extradite Major Ramon Franco
and his IL companions.
The IL aviators will probably
be hailed before a tribunal OIL
charges of subversive activities in
case the extradition request is
complied with. At present the
dozen are guests" of the Portu-
gueSe government at Alerca Air
drome, Mafra.
Order Is Restored
Military governors reported to
Premier D'AmaSo Berenguer that
peace and order have been re-
stored. They did not advise the
withdrawal of troops, however.
The last disturbances in the
wake Of the main republican
movement were suppressed by
loyal troops and Foreign Legion
regiments. hey quelled outbreaks
In Valencia and Burgos, where
rebels and disloyal soldiers had
been in control for 48 hours.
AS a consequence Of the diSaf-
=, lection there General Riquelme,
who previously commanded the
garrison at Valencia, and General
Villabrilli, in charge at BurgoS,
were imprisoned on charges Of
plotting with the rebels.
Federal troops captured Ali
cante, Callosa, Villa Joyona and
Novelda, which cities for two days
had been under control Of rebel
lious troops. A number Of casual
ties were reported.
At Eide, government troops ar
rived as rebels were setting fire
to the railroad station. The
rebels were driven off, many be-
ing captured.
Minor clashes still occur fire.

Danger is Past
Although the danger of a con-
certed republican movement ap-
parently has failed, the menace
of sudden isolated SpurtS con-
tinued today to harass the gov
ernment. To counteract this re-
manning menace 1000 Spanish
Legionnaires were distributed
through northern towns, while
the remaining 5000 brought over
from Morocco will be distributed
throughout southern and central
regions.
The capital itself remained
quiet. King Alfonso made his
first public appearance yesterday
since the Jaca revolt. This, to-
Eether with the letdown Of cen
Sorship, indicated that the gov
ernment believed the rebel men
ace ended.
The consensus of opinion among
republican leaders was that poor
timing and faulty organization
wrecked plans to overthrow the
monarchy. Socialists and re-
publicans had carried on negotia-
tions with army men for months,
1t was revealed here, for one
grand coup that. was to sweep
the King from his throne within
q few hours and set republican
government functioning.
JaiIs are Full
The premature outbreak Of the
Jaca rebellion, forwarning the
government of what was brewing;
the loyalty Of most Of the army,
and the instant roundup and ar
rest Of most of the insurrection-
list leaders broke down all efforts
at a nationwide uprising. .
Jails in every city were filled
with persons arrested as rebels,
and wholesale trials may soon get
under way. However, it was be-
lieved here that with the excep-
ton of the active insurrectionist
leaders, the larger number of cap
tives would be let off with minor
penalties.
