Madrid (Special). Spain Is rent by two fears the fate of the army In Morocco and the situation In the Mediterranean provinces In Cata lonia. At the outskirts of Melllla the Spanish arms have suffered a serious check. Three thousand sol uiers nave eitner been slain or wounded, and the MoorlBh hordes are fighting at the very walls of the city itself. News from Barcelona, the center of the revolutionary outbreak. Is ex ceedingly meager and unsatisfactory. From Lisbon comes the report that the revolutionists are using bombs and that 100 persons were killed and 200 wounded during the earlier stages or tne conflicts. It was officially announced that the cavalry' engaged at Barcelona succeeded in driving into St. Mar tin's Square the principal bands of revolutionists, against whom the artillery opened fire, causing great losses. The survivors surrendered. The official statement further says that It now remains only to master small groupB of revolutionists In the villages in the vicinity of Barcelona. Premier Maura's announcement that the situation in Barcelona Bhow ed a little improvement, and word from Melllla that the Moors were retreating from Mount Ouruga only slightly appeased the general in quietude. The Moorish forces, how ever, have been strengthened by the arrival of 5,000 additional tribesmen, and the official Judgment that 76. 000 Spanish troops are needed to overcome the tribesmen would indi cate that the Melilla army of Span lards is in sore straits. A Moorish army is marching on AlhucemaB and a warship has been hurriedly dispatched from Melilla to aid the garrison there.

Hon Of The Feat PrcsiiV-nt Tnft Congratulates The Brothers Dra niatlc Incident Of Trial. Washington, D. C. (Special). Orville Wright attained the zenl'h of hard-earned success. In a 10-mile cross-country flight in the famous aeroplane built by himself and his elder brother, Wilbur, and accom panied by Lieut. Benjamin D. Fou lois, an intrepid officer of the Army Signal Corps, he not only mirnassed the speed requirements of his con tract with the United States govern ment, but accomplished the most difficult and daring flight ever plan ned for a heavler-than-air flvlne ma chine. Incidentally, he broke all speed records over a measured course and established beyond dis pute the practicability of the aero plane In time of peace and war. Wright's speed was more than 42 miles an hour. He made the 10- mlle flight In 14 minutes and 42 seconds.

He at tained a height In crossing the val ley of Four-mile Run of nearly 500 feet, and the average altitude of his practically level course was about 200 feet. President taft. who has become an enthusiastic spectator of the aero plane trials, although two years ago, when Secretary c! War. he is said to have expressed to army officers profound skepticism as to the ac complishment of such a feat as that of which today he witnessed the completion, arrived on the parade ground at Fort Myer Just in time to see the aeroplane land and to par ticipate in the wild demonstration which welcomed the triumphant avia tors. He sent Colonel Treat, com manding officer of the artillery at rort Myer, to bear his congraulatlons to the victors. RECENT AIRSHIP FEATS.

Washington. I). C. (Special). The world's aeroplane record for two men, as to both me and distance, was broken here In a beautiful flight of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 40 sec ondg, upwards of 50 miles and at a speed averaging about 40 miles an hour, by Orville Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut. Frank P. Lahm, of the Army Signal Corps, as passenger. You Just scotched your brother's record without really damaging it much." remarked a newsnaner man to Orville after the flight. That's all we meant to do," re plied Orville with a smile, which hi big brother appreciatively duplicated. The cheering which heralded the Setting of a new mark In the con quest of the air was led by President Taft In person, who had sat an in tensely interested spectator through out the flight, and who insisted at Its conclusion upon personally con gratulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all-important to the Wrights, in that It com pleted the first of two crucial tests of their machine Imposed upon them by tbe United States government the so-called "end 'ance test," which required them to remain one hour continuously in the air with one pas senger. Orville did nearly 13 min utes better than that, and could have kept on three hours and a half, the limit Imposed by the gasoline ca pacity of the supply tank. Poignancy was added to the achievements of Orville Wright by the realization by everybody present that upon his last attempt to navi gate the air with a passenger, that passenger, Lieutenant Selfrldge, was killed, and he himself terribly in jured. His devoted Bister, Miss Kathertne Wrright, who nursed him through the period of his recovery from that disaster, anxiously watch ed him from the doorway of the shed where the aeroplane Is kept, and when he returned unhurt from his flight gripped him eagerly by the arm, nestled her face against his breast and said: are meager, but the official figures , throuchont Snain and th. , w more than a score mortally Injured wnue word comes from O.

It was a great exhibition. You came down as easily and gracefully as you went. up. You beat the world's rec ord." "Yes, sir," replied Orville, evi dently embarrassed. "I beat my brother's record." The President and everybody In the crowd about joined in the laugh ter at this sally. "How did your passenger conduct himself? Did he talk to the motor man?" ashed the President. "He behaved very well," replied the aviator. "Well, I congratulate both of you and I thank you for the privilege of witnessing such a flight," added the President, and, again shaking hands with the brothers, he entered his automobile and rode away amid cheers. an outpouring of nearly all of the residents to the streets and oncn piazas. 'inis movement was of a twisting character and lasted with marked severity for 90 seconds. The tall buildings of the capital swayed and in some instances cracked, the pavement opened In places and In the poorer quarters a number of houses collapsed. So far as can be learned from police records six persons lost their lives in Mexico City and its environs as a result of this second shock. Two were men of the lower class, the others being three women and a child. Four persons are now in hospitals and they cannot recover, it is said.
