MADRID FACES NEW ATTACK OF RELIGIOUS RIDT ....;;- '...ii'.J ' Kit: Renewal of Rioting Feared and Troops Being Posted Along All Streets EXECUTION TeNOUNCEO Attitude tf Catholic Ministry Has Created Unrest and Demonstrations Against the Government Fear. That I'roperty Will be Destroyed Execution of Socialist Leaders De nounced by the People Troops V Ordered to Allow No Public Meet ings People Will Not Submit Without Bloodshed and Violence is Looked For. (By Cable to The Times) . Madi'ld, July 2-A renewal of re- . ligious rioting throughout Spain is feared and as a result troops are- be ing .posted today in all of the main thoroughfares of the principal cities in preparation for what may come to morrow when the masses turn out for their great religious day of the week. The steadfast attitude of the minis try in demanding a revision of, the concordat in the face of the Vatican's refusal to discuss such a revision un til certain prior conditions are settled has of course created great unrest in Catholic Spain and demonstrations are likely, frpnj ,tJjeu.Qatbo.llc& against rr the government. ' Fear also ejtists that the republi cans will seize upon every opportun ity of unrest and dissastisfactlon to make it greater and at the same time to destroy property. Those who have denounced the execution of socialist and anarchist leaders as inspired by the church in the past and have des troyed church property, it is said In official circles are again showing signs of activity. The authorities want to be prepared to deal with the situation In the face of whatever dls order; may develop, whether from the Catholic side or from that of the antl-p clericals. The troops have orders to allow no assemblages And in Seville have been especially warned to allow no student demonstrations. The gathering together of a mere handful of Catholics would give an opportun ity for the socialists and anarchists to start disorder which might reach any limit. It is not expected, however, that U the people will submit to these meas ures without opposition and blood shed, or at least widespread violence is looked for tomorrow. J.
