MADRID, Dec. Is d.NSJ-
Another attempt by republican
forces to stage q general revolt,
the second within four days,
flared up today and died, and
late this afternoon the leaders Of
the revolt were reported fleeing
to Portugal.
Coincident with the declaration
Of general strikes in many cities
the air corps at Cuatrovientos air
field mutinied.
The mutiny was put down with
dispatch by government forces
led by General Orgaz, after a
pitched battle lasting q half hour.
The revolters raised q white flag
after a brief bornbardment by
government forces.

escaped Jail, where he was serving

Gen. Queipo Dellano and other
leaders in the mutiny were re-

Portugal in an airplane.
Five federal planes, commanded
by Marquis Borja, pursued the
fleeing rebel leaders toward the
Portuguese border.
No figures on casualties in the
CuantrovientoS battle were avail
able in Madrid at q late hour
today. A rigid censorship on all

all but fruitless any attempt to

Developments in the country.
Revolt Called Failure
Immediately after the battle
the government issued a COM

at revolution had fallen and that
the army throughout the coun-
try had remained loyal to the
government. Later the minister
Of the interior issued a statement
that the chief industrial centers
Of the country, including Bar
celona and Valencia, were quiet.
However, the acute tension re-
manned unbroken, and unofficial
reports in the capital stated the
revolutionary movement was
spreading to southern Spain.

Of political isolation are enough.
Likewise, former president and many
times Premier Raymond Poincare
has let it be known that under no
consideration will he be a candidate.
Doumergue, who was elected to
the Elysee without having solicited
the favor, is anxious to retire to his
farms of the sunny south. He has
made it known that he will refuse
if reelected, and will not even ac-
eept mandate to the chamber or
senate. He hopes to travel to make
up for the seven years of isolation,
almost as severe as in a monastery.
With the two former presidents
out Of the way, the path is open to
BRAND, but there is more glory in
appearing as foreign minister of
France at Geneva, London and
other capitals of Europe than in
pressing electric buttons to inaug-
urate cheese fairs from the Elysee.
For the same reason, Premier
Andre Tardieu will not even think
of running for Office. His political
star is still rising and he has many
other ambitions than to cut himself
off from the political world for
seven years.
The election takes place May Is,
next year, and the winner pust find
more than 400 supporters among
the parliamentarians.
