mained neutral in the dispute.
The lieutenants of Canalejas are
now confident that the government's
program can be carried out in full,
even if it is necessary to widen the
breach between Madrid and Rome
still farther.
Though Canalejas''- stand has done
much to : bring about peace in the
internal affairs of Spain, following
the disorders resulting from the exe
cution of Francisco Ferrer, the fear
is spreading that this decisive lining
up of clerical and anti-clerical forces
will bring on the new crisis. '. Many
disorders have already occurred as
the result of the government's stand
against the religious orders and
Canalejas" demand that non-Catholic
churches be allowed to display : the
emblems of their faith.
The forces that have been at work
since the war with the United States
have almost reached their triumph
in the long-growing opposition lb
the church's domination.
HAS FATAL ACCIDENT
(By Cable to The Times.)
Rheims, July 8 Baroness Do
LnRoche was fatally injured today
when flying in a Voisin biplane at the
aviation meet.
The machine went wrong and
plunged straight down 150 feet,
tangling the victim in the debris.
She was internally injured and also
sustained fractures of the arm and
K'R.
A great crowd had gone out to
Bet.heny Plains, drawn by the. hope
of seeing moro records broken. The
opportunity of witnessing a flight by
the famous woman aviator raised the
enthusiasm to a high pitch. She set
off fn her biplane confident and
laughing. It was when at the height
of -'150 foot that It became evident
to the spectators something had gone
wrong. In the few moments that
the Incident occupied, the crowds
were turned from cheering enthu
siasts to a horror-stricken multitude.
The biplane, going at a terrific
speed, suddenly seemed to halt: it
appeared, tossed on the wind. Then
while the driver could be seen to tug
at levers, the machine .fell, whirling
and tossing.
The authorities had difficulty In
' clearing the field of the crowd. Fin
ally a squad of Infantrymen forced
back the throng.
A 'hasty examination of the
baroness was made, and, ' as soon as
the extent of her injuries were
ascertained, she was hurried to the

APPREHENSIVE OVER
EASTERN SITUATION
(By Cable to The Times.)
Berlin, July 8 Official circles are
apprehensive over the convention
and the reported secret treaty be
tween Russia and Japan and Euro
pean, complications aro feared.
Austria, close to Germany, Is now
believed to be menaced by Russia.
"With Russian troops no longer
necessary in large numbers to guard
the czar's Interests in Asia, as the
result of the agreement -.with Japan,
Russia is' now free to act against
the country which has most antagon
ized her of late Austria," said a
leading German diplomat today. In
this complication is seen a grave
menace to the Triple alliance. While
Germany would stand firmly by
Austria In a crisis, Italy is one with
Russia In the desire to balk the real
or "supposed airns pf Austria in the
Balkans. This mutual aim was
strengthened by the czar's visit lo
Italy last winter.
-Moreover,' the impression felt
here and admitted semi-officially IR
that the Russo-iapiinese agreement
means that the commercial progress
