Keep the Real Situation a Mystery.
Don Jaime Preparing a Manifesto
Showing His Right to the Throne.
(By Cable to The Times.)
Paris, via the Franco-Spanish
frontier, Aug. 3 Two hundred and
fifty insurgents and leaders in the
Barcelona rebellion have been ex
ecuted by soldiers in the past three
days at Monjulch fortress outside
the city according to advices received
today from Madrid.
Montjuich fortress is filled with
' prisoners and executions are being
held continuously. The censorship
which is being rigorously maintained
to keep the people in Ignorance of
the slaughter by the troops has not
been entirely successful and the re
volt is ripe for a new awakening.
The government persistently pro
claims that the internal situation is
improved, but the mystery of the
real situation stretches from frontier
to frontier unenlightened by the cen
sored dispatches which are being sent
out.
The' threatened general strike
which was to start yesterday was
averted temporarily in the capital,
tnougn part 01 me coumry was ai
fected. The rebel leaders sought to
paralyze Spain and to isolate the na
tion by a complete tie-up of railroads
and telegraph lines, but their attempt
was abortive.
As 'it is Spain lies a dead stretch
of land, seething with rebellion from
which vague reports come at inter
vals of violence and slaughter. The
real situation in Barcelona is not
clearly known, although refugees at
the frontier tell harrowing stories of
what they passed through in the last
five days.
The captain general of Barcelona,
fearing new and more dangerous out
breaks, has Informed the various con
suls that they had best ask for war
ships to protect the interests of their
various countries. The polico are
making countless arrests. They have
discovered the real plot of the upris
ing, they claim. The authorities as
serted that a band of international
anarchists plotted a social revolution,
and that the ringleaders were Cas-
tillians and Alusians, Italians, Portu
gese, French, Russians, Swiss,
Greeks, and South Americans.
It is believed, however, that this Is
a ruse that the real strength of Don
Jaime's intrigues may not be known.
The ranks of the rioters offered a
place for every man with the instincts
of lawlessness. Brigands from the
mountains, escabed" felons, anarch
ists, radical socialists, thieves, and
men out of work arrayed themselves
with the rebpls and fought for loot,
and pillage, and not for principle.
A report froni Vienna today said
that Don Jaime, after a short and
mysterious visit there, had departed
for Frodsdorf, In Ihe Semmering
Alps of lower Austria, and is sup
posed to be en route for that place
today. His movements are being
closely watched by the government
agents of Alfonso.
" Don Jaime is said to be preparing
a manifesto which will be issued to
the people of Europe setting forth
for the first timo officially his own
claims to the Spanish throne and
showing wherein his demand for the
crown was true and legitimate.
Don Jaime also Is preparing a
proclamation to the people of Spain,
i- tnnn.on foot ii rp nf this will be
the political will of the pretender's
father, Don Carlos, who labored so
valiantly for Alfonso's throne. This
shows how deeply Don Carlos re
sented Spain's disrespect for the
Balllc law and that he claimed not
only the Spanish throne, but the
rlnt to rule France as well.
Among the victims of the military
court-martials at Barcelona were two
members of the chamber of deputies
and eight aldermen of Barcelona.
TAFT OPPOSED TO
RE-
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, August 3 President
Taft Is vigorously opposed to any re-
commitment of the tariff bill. He
.made this plain to Senator McCtimber
of North Dakota today. The senator
assured the president that he believes
the agricultural interests of the
northwest have unquestionably been
surrendered to the manufacturing
interests of the east in the present
bill, but he thought the people would
like the bill better when they under
stood It more clearly as many of the
schedules are revised downward and
not upward, as is the popular belief.
Senator McCtimber wished to ob
tain the president's influence to re
commit the bill to congress, but. Mr.
Taft said with emphasis that he is
opposed to such procedure, for the
reason that he believes it would en
danger the bill.
Before the cabinet met the presi
dent had several conferences on the
tariff with Senators Burkett, of Ne
braska; Pyles and Jones, of Wash
ington, and Brlggs, of New Jersey, as
well as Representative Payne, of New
York, Burke, of Pennsylvania, and
Rodenburg, of Iillinois.
CONFERENGF ON THE
- DEFICIENCY BILL
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, August 3 The house
was in session for only live minutes
today, when on motion of Represen
tative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, a re
cess was taken until 3 o'clock this af
ternoon. The secretary of tho sen
ate announced that the senate Insist
ed on its amendments to the urgent
deficiency bill, and requested a con
ference.
Representative , Mann asked that
the conference be granted. The spea
ker thereupon appointed the follow
ing conferees: Tawney, of Minne
sota; Smith, of Iowa, and Livingston,
of Georgia.
In response to a question of Rep
resentative Clark, of Missouri, Rep
resentative Dalzell stated that the re
cess was for the purpose of giving
the conferees on the bill time to
agree. Representative Clark then in
quired if the tariff bll was coming to
the house again today. He was ans
wered in the negative by Mr. Dalzell.
SUTTON CASE TO BE
CALLED NEXT WEEK
(By Leased Wire to The Times)

the reeonveing of the. court of investi
gation at Annapolis, which probably
will take place next Monday. The

Mr. Davis refuses to discuss the re
port that records bearing on the where
abouts of Private Kennedy on the night
that Lieutenant Sutton lost his life.
has disappeared from the official bar
racks book containing them, but from
an authoritative source it may be said
that If the record of the men on sentry
duty that night is lost or has been
stolen Its loss or theft has occurred
since the hearing began.
When Mrs. Sutton's counsel learned
of Kennedy's relation to, the case, they
took the precaution, before having him
called an a witness, to ascertain wheth
er he was in fact on duty that night.
They were furnished by the proper offi
cers with a list of all men who were
on duty us sentries and In the list was
the name of Kennedy, who was desig
nated as being at the very post stated
by him. Mrs. Sutton's counsel still
has the list which was prepared by one
of them from the information given by
the official referred to.
Mr. Davis would neither deny or af
firm the report that B. H. Harriman is
backing the Suttons In the fight they
are making to clear their son's name
of the stigma of suicide.

(By Leased Wire to The limes)
White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 3 Ad
ditional evidence or thp insane ac
tions of Harry Thaw were furnished
today when Dr. Amos T. Baker, act
ing superintendent of Mattuawan
asylum, was cross-examined by Law
yer Morschauser.
Complying with the order of Jus
tlce Mills, the witness brought to the
court a bundle of papers found se
creted in Thaw's clothing. The pa
pers included typewritten speeches
and notes to be used as memorandum
for the lawyers battling for the mil
lionaire's release. The data was not
presented to the court when Dr.
Baker was examined by Jerome be
cause the state's attorney desired to
withhold most of their evidence for
rebuttal.
The array of alienists called by the
state was augmented by the addition
of Dr. William Hirsch, who testified
before Justice Dowling that Thaw
was a paranoiac.
A larger crowd of women than has
been present since the proceedings
opened sought admittance to the lit
tie court, room. Lined three deep
around the walls of the: trial cham
ber and perched on window sills,
from where they commanded a view
of the body of the room only at great
inconvenience, stylishly dressd wo
men remained throughout the ses
sion.
Thaw walked from the jail across
the yard to the court house, his
guard fighting a path through the
crowd of women, young and old, who
made an effort to shake hands with
the famous prisoner.
Thaw quietly resented the attempts
of his staff of private detectives to
disperse t he gathering. He smilingly
acknowledged tho sympathy offered
by those who got close enough to
grasp his hand and remained siand-
ng on the top step bowing to the
cheering crowd.
'I hope to be free in a. week,"
Thaw said, as he waved to the gath
ering before entering the court-room.
While waiting for Justice Mills. Thaw
noticed Henry Harney, who occupied
seat No. 6 in the jury box at the
first murder trial, sitting in the body
of the court-rooni Rising in his
chair, Thaw walk'edWcr to greet Hie
man who had caused the jury to dis
agree because he held out for 4 7
hours voting for acquittal.
The deputy sheriff guarding Thaw
hurried over to the prisoner's side,
but Thaw smilingly reassured tho ex
cited official that he intended only to
shake hands with the former juror.
Jerome opened his mall during the
cross examination of Baker and both
he and Thaw laughed over a cartoon
of the district attorney which was en
closed in an envelope. The witnesses'
memory was a little faulty and he
said he couldn't remember tellng Mr,
Peabody that he had found no traces
of Insanity In Thaw, but might have
made such an assertion. j
The witness then told of conversa
tions with Thaw and of ono incident
when he detected tobacco smoke and
accused Thaw of violating the rule per
taining to smoking. Thaw denied the
smoking and was threatened with a
curtailment of hiH privileges.
Dr. Baker said Thaw became irritat
ed when he had queried him about the
reports made by detectives who were
following White. He referred Dr. Bak
er to Lawyer Henry Longfellow, to
whom the reports were made.
Mr. Morschauser tried to get the wit.
ness to tell of a conversation In which
Thaw said a man of Stanford White's
practices must be insane, but the wit
ness' memory was bad. ,Dr. Baker
couldn't remember telling the report-
erg that he thought Thaw rational.
Then District Attorney Jerome took
the witness.
Q. Have you noticed any change In
Thaw's condition since lie has been In
this court?

Tillman Says Tariff Commission
Plan is Kninsculated.
( Uy Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Aug. 3 Still with the
fear that the "range" senators are
able to make good their threat to de
feat ihe conference report, because
of the leather "joker," ih- confer
ees have decided to offer a joint res
olution to correct, tho schedule. This
will he (lone immediately after the
adoption of th report. Senator Aid
rich and Chairman Payne both have
given assurances 10 their associates,
and to the objecting senators, that
this will he done. t
The "joker" which had the tariff
bill defeated yesterday, grew out of
a few lims written in the report at
the instance of Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, which, in effect, re
duces the duties on boots, shoes, har-
sess, and other leather goods, made
only from hides of cattle. The clever
wording of the paragraph had the
effect of leaving the higher duty on
leather goods made from calf skins,
and other skins. In vain the presi
dent sought to convince the western
senators that lie understood the sit
uation correctly, and that it was "all
right." They refused to accept his
version.
The trouble confronting the con
ferees was Lie fear that to return
the bill to conference would open un
other schedules, produce delay, and
defeat the bill. It was apprehension
of this that caused the agreement to
be quickly readied for a joint reso
lution to correct the schedule.
When Ihe s nate met at 10 o'clock
this morning there was a bitter feel
ing plainly in existence regarding
the tariff bill, and the prospects .if
an early vote on the conference vote.
Senator Culberson, of, Texas, gave
notice that when the proposed joint
esolulion to correct, the leather
schedule is submitted be would offer
in amendment to place cotton bag
ging on the tree list.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, also
ave notice of an amendment. He
protested against: the method of op
eration of Ihe maximum and mini
mum provisions', Coder its work-
ngs, he said, France would only have
luee months notice, while other
countries would have six.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
said its entire operation had been
worked out by tho state department,
nid was satisfactory to all concerned.
Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
ina, charged that the conferees had
emasculated the tariff commission
dan.
Replying to questions by Senator
Newlands, of Nevada, Senator Aid
rich said tho language of the report
regarding a tariff commission was
broader and more liberal than that
contained in either the senate or th ,
house bill. Although he had not en
tirely indorsed it in conference, he
said, he believed that iractically it
granted all that had been asked for
by earnest advocates of a commission.
This view, he said, is shared by
the president. It would give the
president, authority to send commis
sioners to Europe to collect data and
obtain all possible information on
tariff matters.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, de
clared that the bill as it passed the
senate originally was so bad that he
had been obliged to vote against it.
Now, as it came from conference, it
was so much worse that he would
continue to vote against it.
At the conclusion of Senator
Clapp's speech an agreement was
reached to vote on the conference re
port at 2 o'clock on Thursday.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Durham Aldermen Order Im
provements Made
West Main Street Ordered .Straight
ened and Kxtcndcd Other Streets
lo be Improved- Matter of Tax
ing Near Beer Xot (ione Into
Ball Players in Trouble.
(Special to The Times)
Durham, August 3 At the regu
lar monthly meeting of the board of
aldermen here last, night the most
important work ordered was the
grading and putting sidewalks on a
number of streets. West Main street
was ordered straightened and ex
tended from the curve in front of
Trinity College to the city limits.
When this work is finished it will
make this a straight street of about
four miles. Other work ordered was
on Morehcnd avenue, Holloway, Fos
ter, and several other streets. All of
this work will begin as soon as pos
sible; to get the men at work and the
materials for the sidewalks gel lo
I he city.
It had been expected that the tax
ing of near beer would be one of the
matters that would be thrashed out
last night. However, since the rou
tine business took up so much of the
session this niatier could not be
gone into. In addition to the street
work the board heard the report of
the regular committees, and also ord
ered a 35 gallon chemical tank for
one of I he fire wagons.
Henry Jones, charged Willi engag
ing in an affray with a deadly weap
on at the park last Saturday night, is
in jail. Jones is one of t'.lie Chapel
Hill baseball players who came here
Saturday and tried to take the lown,
or at least the park, before he went
hack. He and his companions got
into some trouble at the park, and
when the officer arrested one of their
number the others came in and took
the prisoner away from tho officer.
Other officers were deputized and a
general light occurred in which guns,
baseball hats, rocks and lists were
used. The result Was I hat the offi
cers were beaten and finally had to
hack out as best ihey could, however,
not until they had wounded one of
Ihe hunch from Chape! Hill through
the leg. Coming down the street
they got other officers and returned
to Ihe park, for Ihe offenders, bul
had gotten into llicir buggies and
gone home. Warrants were issued
for the. arrest of most, of l hem and
the arrest, of Henry Jones is the re
sult. The cases of W. T. Rigsbee and
Joseph Rawls, charged with retail
ing, was again postponed yesterday
morning. The defense asked this on
the ground that they wanted to get
some depositions from other states.
The continuance was granted, and
August 20 is now the date set for
the trial of the cases. Much interest
is being taken in these cases here.
The court-room yesterday morning
resembled the morning session of the
superior court. 1
