STATUS OF REVOLT
 AT JACA UNKNOWN
Governments Bid for Favor
 With Army Not Successful

London, Dec. 15 (UP)-Whether the revolt Of the Jaca garrison was designed as the beginning of the long heralded revolution in Spain, or was only an isolated outbreak is not yet clear.
 Last week it was learned that revolutionists were smuggling arms and ammunition across the French frontier. The escape Of Ramon Franco from prison was rcnortedly designed as the signal for the be- ginning Of the revolt, but if plans were made along these lines they did not materiaIizo.
 Leaders Of the opposition in Ma drid said that an effort was being made to form q coalition Of all their groups. including the socialists. the republicans, labor organizations, communists and the catalans, for a concerted outbreak. IndaleCio Fire to, socialist leader, said he was convinced that the forthcoming cleo tions would be manipulated by the government, and that therefore an outbreak would be attempted before the elections, to prevent them from being held.
 Pireto said that many Spaniards were convinced Of the responsibility Of King Alfonso XIII for the Span- ish dictatorship and the unConstltu- tional regime, and that therefore the program Of the rcvolutIonists would be against the king.
 Leaders Of the party which favors a republic said that Alfonsos long violation Of the constitution rendered compromise with the monarchy i'm possible, and that for that reason the republicans are demanding the kings abdication and the institution ot q republic.
 . The government is fully aware ot all these preparations for revolution Premier General Damaso Berenguer said that rebellion had failed because the army remained loyal, and the opposition inevitably disa greed among themselves when the time for the outbreak arrived,
 King Alfonso and the government during the last few weeks have tried 10 nolufy the army. This was the reason for the kings decree putting artillery officers promotion on it> old basis, changed as d disciplinary measure during the regime of Prime de Rivera, and for the governmentS discussion Of raising army officers pay.
 The revolt at Jaca indicated that these efforts to gain the army's sup port had not been entirely success fully.
