Any Cost.
Madrid, .Tuly 29. The revolution In
Catalonia has reached u serious stage, j
There is much bloodshed and artll-!
lory has been employed In the streets
of Barcelona to quell the outbreaks.
The city Is terror stricken. The revo
lutionists aro reported to be lighting
desperately behind barricades. The
troops include mounted artillery, and
the defenses of the rebels have been
raked with shot.
Latest advices from Barcelona state
that eight persons have been killed
una fifty wouuacd in a collision be
tween the police and populace. The
soldiers refused to obey orders to shoot
Into the mob, which acclaimed them
with cries of, "Long live the army."
All the shops have been closed and
shuttered and activities, outside those
of the mobs and the police, have been
completely suspended.
The rebellion is general throughout
Catalonia, and ns the troops are doing
little toward checking it the police in
the various districts Unci it impossible
to prevent the destruction of property
and other revolutionary acts.
King Alfonso hastened back to
Madrid from San Sebastian and at
once Issued a decree proclaiming mar
tial law and the suspension of consti
tutional guarantees throughout Spain.
Orders have been given to t'lie gov
ernors of the provinces to crush the
revolution at any cost without hesita
tion and without pity.
A black chapter Is marked In Spain's
history, for there was tragedy both at
home "and abroad. The king has beard
that part of his army at Melllla had a
bloody battle with tlie Moors which,
though the linal victory was the Span
lards, cost the lives of twenty-one of
ficers nnd a total of 12H0 Spaniards,
killed or wounded.
The minister of the interior lias is
sued an olllclal note giving n summary
of the latest events in Catalonia. At
Kens, near Tarragona, serious disor
ders have occurred. At Alcoy there
has been much rioting In tho streets
the gendarmes using their cnrblno'
and killing and wounding many of the.
manlfestants. Order was quickly es
talilishod at that place.
At t'alahorra, a place of 1 0.000 in
habitants, the populace Invaded the
railroad station, destroyed the switches'
and dlu other material damage, which
resulted in the blocking of the train
transporting tlie troops. Soldiers open
ed lire on tho rioters, of whom sonic
were killed. The troops succeeded ii
re-establishing train communications.
Similar incidents occurred at othei
localities. At Vendrell a railroad was
torn up to prevent the passage oi
trains conveying soldiers frimi Valen
cia to Barcelona.
The note says, "Tlie government hnf
acquired proof that the agitators seek
at nil cost to produce a seditious move
ment through Spain of a clmractei
clearly revolutionary with the object
of preventing the movement of troop
and to block the action of the govern
ment, especially so far ns it concerns
the campaign at Melllla."
Advices received this morning from
Barcelonn, after the re-establishment
of the telegraph, state that lighting
still continues in the streets, and be
cause of tills fact and the spread ot
the movement the government has or
dered the governors of the provinces
concerned to employ the most strin
gent measures and to maintain ordet
at any cost.
The hostility of the people against
the Moroceau campaign, which has
been followed by widespread disturb
ances, is based on resentment that the
nation has been plunged In a foreign
war and that the nation's sons are be
ing sacrificed merely because of oppo
sltlon to a private mining undertaking.
Tho poorer classes, from which the
regiments are chiefly drawn, are espe
cially bitter, complaining that the man
who can pay $300 is exempt from mil
ltary service. It is the poor, therefore,
who are forced to go to Africa to meet
death.
The greatest antagonism has been
aroused by the mobilization of the re
serves. Many of tho men in the re.
serve forces have Jorge families, with
out means of support other than what
they themselves can earn.
Touching scenes occurred when the
poor workmen were called to the col
ors. They wandered distractedly
about the streets, leading their chil
dren, whom finally they were forced
a abandon. At the last moment, how-
ever, the government clodded to keep
the reserves In the home garrisons,
and charitable people enme forward tu
enre for the unprotected wives nud
children.
Advices from tlte front stnte that the
holy war sentlnient is spreading anionp
the interior tribes, wlio, so soon ns
their trooj)s are gathered, are expected
to Hook to the coast nnd join the Rltl
triliosineii.
While Spain Is convinced that she
has a Inure task on her hands, it lk
claimed by the government that a big
nrmy '.II soon crush the Moors, and
It is considered fortunate that ths
tribes are concentrating at Melllla In-
-aii "r iwein tno Spanish troops 10
j penetrate into the wild nnd unknown
. Interior.
MOORS FIGHT DESPERATELY.
Two Hundred Spaniards Killed or
Wounded In Last Battle.
, '" M""". J"ly at.-Tlie of-
ncini rcpon oi me wsi name
that it was the most sanguinary con
tested and cost the Spanish forces
more than lit Ml dead and wounded, the
slain Including Ccucrul I'lntos, two
lieutenant colonels commanding naval
contingents nuil a large number of
other olllcers.
Tlie Moors destroyed several hun
dred yards of railroad connected with
the mines, which isolated the extreme
Spanish post. As it was imperative to
restore communication, a convoy es
corted by two strong columns was sent
out In command of General I'lntos. It
occupied the outlying spurs of the
giant mountains Guruga.
While the convoy was communicat
ing with and roprovlsloning the sta
tions the Spaniards sustained a ter
rific fusillade from thousands of
Moors, who first fired from the fast
nesses of the mountain and then boldly
charged in the face of a murderous as
sault by the Spanish artillery. Spanish
olllcers describe the Moorish loss as
enormous.
Ie,-enforceiuents were hurriedly sent
to tlie convoy and its escort, and these
succeeded in repulsing the Moors and
driving them back to the hills.
FARIS GIVES SPAIN WARNING
Believes Country Will Be Dragged
Into a Serious Crisis.
Paris. July 12!). The Paris Temps !
wiwUlew that the situation in Spain
requires the greatest prudence on the 1
part of the Madrid government. It j
says the world cannot believe that tlie
war in Morocco is popular. !
The paper thinks that if troops are j
ruthlessly employed to repress tlie dis- j
turbances public opinion all over Spain
is likely to revolt, and the government
will run the risk of being confronted j
with a veritable rebellion.

Jerome
strove to establish Thaw's 1
insanity mainly on tils alleged hallucl-,
nations regarding Stanford White's
treat ment of young girls. Time and
again lie asked the witness' own opin '
ion of his mental state.
Thaw's replies hi substance were: "1
have always been sane, medically,
When I killed White I may have beer
legally insane for a few minutes. I aiii
sane now."
Thaw explained the evidence of hi.
alienists at the trial by saying that In
declaring hliu insane they had beei;
misled. They were told, he said, that
the charges he made against While
were untrue and they inferred that the
clrirges must lie delusions.
Three years' coiillnenieiit does not
seem to Have embittered Thaw. ITC
expresses regret tor certain of tht j
more unspeakable charges which lit
made in ids will, drawn In 1005
against the man he killed. Although
frequently quoted in tlie past as not
regret f lug his deed, he declared lit
sometimes felt regret.
"Did It touch you with remorse oi
horror that you had taken a human
life?" Jerome asked.
'Somewhat, but the circumstances
diminished those feelings," Thaw re
plied.
"What circumstances?"
"Well, for one thing, all the legai
squabbling that was going on."
At times the witness scored on tht
j district attorney so palpably that the
whole courtroom joined in his smile oi
triumph. Nothing pleased him more
than tlie chance to correct Jerome on
some minor detail of the evidence oi
past legal proceedings, which he had
at ills tongue's end.
One characteristic episode occurred
when Jerome asked Thaw to explain
his hostility to Dr. Allan McLant
Hamilton, one of the state's formet
alienists. Thaw said lie did not know
exactly why he disliked Hamilton. It
was like the ense of Dr. Fell, ho added
"Who Is Fell?" inquired Jerome In
nocently. "Why, don't you know?" exclnlmed
the witness in real or feigned sur
prise. Then he quoted the lines of
the well known nonsense rhyme: "I do
not like you, Dr. Fell. Tho reason
why I cannot tell. Hut this I know
nnd know full well I do uot like you,
Dr. Fell."
Thaw's mood was not always Jovial.
He gaVo the first signs of worry when
the district attorney returued later to
his dislike of Dr. Hamilton nnd asked
a number of questions evidently de
signed to show that Thaw's prejudice
was something violent and abnormal.
Another lino of questions thnt mode
tho witness knit his brows hod to do
with his relations with Evelyn Nesbit
before ttielr marriage. Although It
has been alleged that Thaw has broken
with his wlfo and that she Is aiding
the opposition, ho showed a strong de
sire to shield her name.
The young woman herself nrrlved in
the courtroom during this part of tho
examination and rewarded her hus
band's evident consideration for her
fpnllnus with several radiant smiles.
I At the same time Thaw showed j
j sirong reluctance to letting his wife
j take the stand and had his attorney In- 1
voke the privilege of confidential rela
) tlons to bar her. 1
Susan Merrill, who wns the main
i witness so far against Thaw, was In
court, but did not take the stand.
Thaw swore that her most damaging
charges against him were tvntrue. She
will probably take the stand again
inter.
The state also expects to put on its
three alienists to tell their impressions
regarding Thaw's mental condition
after hearing him testify.

Lumber Rate Raised Over House
Schedule Glove Duties Con
siderably Higher Than Fig
ures Fixed by Senate.
Washington, July 29. After work
ing for nearly three weeks at what
proved to be one of the longest and
hear the results.
In view of President Taft's utter
ances, senate and house leaders are
predicting that tlie conference rates on
gloves and lumber will not prove sat-
isfactory to him. At the same time It
Is recognized that conditions are such
that unless compromises are made by j
the conferees It will be many days be
fore a report can be made. It required
a roll call to llx the rates on lumber,
which are us follows:
Lumber, rough. $1.40 a thousand
feet. The house rate was $1 nnd the
senate rate 1.50. The somite differ-'
onllals were adopted, making lumber
planed on one side dutiable at yi.'.H),
two sides !?l2.ir, three sides $2..?.. and ,
four sides $'2.'M, The senate rates on
lath and shingles, which were higher1
than the house rates, also were adopt
ed. !
Gloves were made dutiable at rate
considerably in advance of the dullo
llxed by the senate bill, which for tin '
most part were the same ns tlie Ding ,
ley rates. The conference rates are as
follows: Women's and children'!:

which is tlie cheapest glove manufac
tured, was made dutiable at !?1 a
dozen. This Is a heavy reduction troi
rutos, which made all gloves
$4 a dozen, and is even less

If the report is laid before the house

program, It will be printed nnd take
up on Saturday. It Is not believed
that the house will discuss It mort

CUBAN ARMY DISORGANIZED.
Officers Say President Gomez
Has
Caused Grave Condition.
Havana, July 120. Tho process of
putting the permanent nrmy under
proper discipline has been greatly
hampered by the insubordination of
the enlisted inon, especially the colored
troops, and bickerings between white
1 and colored olllcers.
Charges Involve General Kovas,
commander of the infantry brigade;
Colonel Valleiite, commanding the
' First infantry, and other high olllcers,
i for the trial of whom several courts
martial have been ordered.
I President Gomez, desiring to check.
Hie threatened disorganization, visited
Camp Columbia, where a majority of
t the troops are quartered. After listen
ing to tlie complaints tlie president or
' dercd all court martial proceedings
summarily quashed. He then ordered
that all eullsti'd men confined on
charges of Insubordination be released.
The president's action lias caused
much resentment among olllcers of all
' classes, many of whom openly declare
1 that it will have the effect of intensi
! fylng the spirit of Insubordination al
, ready rampant among the rank and
lile. It is calculated, they say, to prt
,tllu fiiv''st rwinltH.
i 1 1L' situation is regarded
as addi
tionally serious In view of the depar

agree to the miners' terms render the
work of Intermediaries very difficult.
