Forced Self Into Control.

Forcing himself into control Of the
Spanish government, Gen. de Rivera
turned the civil government out OF
office in the notable movement of Sep
TENDER, 1923.
He reached the pinnacle of his career
at that time when he broke the Span
ish constitution and brought into pow
er the military dictatorship, putting all
the political parties hitherto ruling
Spain into the background.
Until that moment his political life
had run on modest lines.
Throughout the period Of power the
dictator displayed notable energy. An
untiring worker, he devoted himself to
every phase of administrative work and
no problem that arose was shelved.
The development of industry and COM
merce, the financial situation, interna-
tional relations especially with the
transatlantic republics), labor questions.
transports and other means of COM
munication-all were taken up.
Born in Cadiz, January 8, 1870, he
began his military career at the age OF
IA, when he entered the military acad-
envy. He won numerous promotions
and decorations for bravery and meri-
torious conduct.

ing to plans formulated tonight.
All Spain was shocked to learn OF his
sudden death. King Alfonso heard of
it as he was preparing to go to the

his engagements, expressing his sorrow.
