Tho leaders of the rebel are now being

marily executed. There Is no train ser
vice between Barcelona and Madrid.
Barcelona has been a perfect hell. Half
the population Is terrorized and the other
half mad with blood. The troops of the
Karrlxon, amid shouts of approval from the
mud. repeatedly rose to fire on the people
and the work of repression fell on the po
lice and civil guard. These charged the
revolutionaries and used their firearms
fieely everywhere, but numbers were
acain.U them. As this dlRpateh Is sent the
struts are in possession of the barricaded
Insurgents. The destruction of property
has been great. Harcelona la completely

Official Feeling Better.
MADRID, July 30. The news from Barce
lona that the cavalry and troops have
named the upper hand and captured the
main body of Insurgents and that only
Isolated band are holding out In the
suburbs, creates the gratest relief In offi
cial circles here. The work of repression
will rapidly be followed up throughout the
Calalonlan captaincy general.
Late last night It was officially an
nounced that the cavalry engaged at Barce
lona had succeeded In driving Into St.
Martin's square the principal band of revo
lutionlHts, against whom the artillery
opened fire. After fighting desperately and
successfully for a long time, the revolu
tionists were surrounded. Many persons
wer killed In the fighting and the sur
vivors surrendered to the troops.
No. figures are given of tl.e casualties at
Larcelona.
General Marina, commander of, the Span
ish force In Morocco, reports that there Is
momentary unlet outside Melllla, but no
details of the situation of the army at
Melllla are given out. except that Spanish
reinforcements, with a new commanding
Kenrral. have arrived there.
Pear Islam Uprising".
PARIS. July 30. The news of the terrible
defeat Inflicted on the Spanish forces by
Moors at Melllla and the confirmation of
thu extent of the Insurrection In Spain
causes apprehension here. The triumph
of the Moors In the Riff country perhaps
will Inflame all of Islam and lead to an
uprising In Algeria and the Soudan. The
attack upon French troops at Colom
Bchar the other day is now regarded
here as a direct result of the events on
the Riff coast. Some of the Paris news
papers, therefore, boidly suggest that In
f If-Interest It is the duty of Europe to
come to the rescue.
Th Eclair says it is Impossible for
Europe to bow before the insolent, tri
umphant Moors, and that Christian civil
ization cannot afford to allow Spain to be
beaten. Un the other hand, many news
paper declare that the Melllla disaster
It-calls the muddle and Incapacity of every
department In the Spanish government
durlnii the Cuban war. These newspapers
advlt-e the government at Madrid to make
a virtue of necessity by promptly ending
the advmCurc, as otherwise it will put an
end to the Spanish government.
The Aiariiuis Del Muni, the Spanish am
kwstador at Purls, has transmitted a not
to i lie Frrnt'h government, formally de
claring that the Klff campaign was not
undertaken with the object of conquest,
tut nolely to punish th Moors for their
attack on Spaniaids and their affront to
the Melllla garrison.
The Spanish ambassador In an Interview
today attributes the upheaval at Barce
lona solely to the anarchists, and he Is
confident It will be promptly suppressed.
He explains that the government Intends
to satisfy the popular demand regarding
obligatory military service and that It ha
a' ready introduced a bill In the senate for
that purpose. 1

WASHNIGTON. July 30.-Orvll1e Wright
this evening attained the xenlth of hard
earned success. In a ten mile cross-country
flight, In the famous aeroplane built
by himself and his elder brother, Wilbur,
accompanied by Lieutenant Benjamin D.
Foulls, an Intrepid officer of the army
signal corps, he not only aurpassed the
speed requirements of his contract with
the government, but accomplished the
most difficult and daring flight ever plan
ned for a heavler-than-alr flying machine.
Incidentally, he broke all speed records
over a measured course and established
beyonn tlspute the practicability of the
aeroplane in time of peace and In time
of war.
Wright's speed was more than forty-two
miles an hour. He made the ten mile flight
In 14 minutes, and 42 seconds, including
the more than twenty seconds required for
the turn beyond the line at Shuter Hill,
the soathern end of the course. He at
alnted a height in crossing the Valley of
Four Mile Run, of nearly 600 feet, and the
average altitude of his practically level
course was about 200 feet.
Taft Sees Final Flight.
President Taft, who has become an en
thusiastic spectator of the aeroplane trials,
although two years ago, when secretary of
war, he Is said to have expressed to army
officers profound skepticism as to tha ac
complishment of such a feat as that of
which today he witnessed the completion
arrived upon the parade ground at Fort
Myer Just in time to see the areoplane
land and to participate in the wild demon
stration which welcomed the triumphant
aviators. He sent Colonel Treat, com
mandlng ' officer of the artillery at Fort
Myer to bear his congratulations to the
victora.
A terrific wind and rain storm early In
the afternoon seemed providentially pro
vided to clear and quiet the atmospheric
conditions Jn 'preparation of the'-fllght.
whtch was delayed only by the failure of
the army field telegraph line to Shutter
Hill, depended upon for communication be
tween the two ends of th course. It was
still out of commission when Orvllle
Wright, selling the moment of the best
weather conditions he had yet had for the
speed test, had the machine placed on the
starting rail and gave the motor a final
test.
Tha engine worked perfectly, and the
crowd seemed to realize that an epoch-
making moment was at hand. They
pressed forward against the lines which
held them back, breathless and eagerly
watching every movement of the aviator
and his machine. The signal corps men
hoisted the great weight in the starting
derrick, which gives the machine Its Initial
Impulse. Miss Katherlne Wright, the avi
ator's devoted sister, excited and anxious,
was on of a group which crowded so
close to the machine as the crucial mo
ment drew near that Wilbur was com
pelled to ask them to step back.
Takea Paasenger Aboard.
Lieutenant Foulls, wiry and brown. In
hla khaki uniform, climbed Into the pas
senger seat beside the motor. Wilbur
Wright and Charley Taylor, the Wrights'
mechanlc.to ok their place at the propel
lor. Orvllle turned on the sparker of the
motor as they whirled the blades around.
The motor picked up the Impetus and
Orvllle turned on full speed. For the first
time the propellors of the aeroplane were
whirring at their maximum capacity.
The smooth and even song of the engine
aroused the crowd to excited cheering.
Wilbur ttjok Tils place at the right (Ip of
the plane and Orvllle clambored Into his
seat beside Foulls. He gripped the levers,
and nodding to his brother, slipped th
cable which released the starting weight.
The aeroplane shot down the track, rose
before It reached tha end and skimmed over
the surface of tha ground for 100 feet or
mora.
A If drawn up by Invisible powers, the

WASHINGTON, July 30. Mr. Payne's
statement comprised an analysis of the
new tariff bill, showing both Increases and
decerages, and the detailed presentation
was preceded by a general summary In
which he undertook to show the extent of
revenue increases and decreases according
to schedules.
Acordng to this showing the total In
creases wer on consumption value of lm
portations valued at IS62,512,625, and the
total decreases on Importations amounting
to (4,978,122.124.
In this preliminary statement Mr. Payne
said that he had had made an investigation
based on the census returns of 1K5, show
Ing the amount of domestic consumption of
articles upon which duties have been raised
and also the articles upon which duties
have been lowered by the bill aa finally
reported from the conference committee.
This had been done because comparisons
have been based upon the amount of lm
portations, he said.
"Duties," he said, "have been lowered
where they were too high under the present
law, sometimes prohibitive In character.
and for that reason the importations were
comparatively small. On th other hand
they have been raised in some Instances
where the tariff waa Insufficient for pro
tection and the Importations were very
great.

He then gave the following table, which

Measure Now Before Congress Has
His Endorsement
NEBRASKANS WILL VOTE FOR IT
Senator Burkett Voices Sentiment of
State Delegation.
OWANS DIVIDE ON QUESTION
Cam m I its, Dolllvrr and Three of
the Representatli e Will Vote
Against the Conference Re
port a Presented.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. July 30 (Special Tele
gram.) Prewldent Taft's slunal victory to-
ay. In which he won substantial and Car-
reaching reductions In the tariff bill, hits
ery materially changed tho feeling of tho
representatives and senators toward 'he
measure. While there Is considerable criti
cism of some of the schedules, particularly
on the part of those who failed to maintain
their advantage In either house, the con
census of opinion Is that the bill as pre
sented by the conference committee Is con
siderably better than the Dlngley bill and
s, as President Taft insisted it should be,
one of revision downward.
Nehraakana for the Bill.
While the Nebraska representatives in
congress had no formal meeting, like their
bretheren from Iowa, they had heart-to-heart
talks over the bill, and It seems safe
to predict that Nebraska republican. In
view of President TaCt's satisfaction with
the measure, and the resolutiolut adopted
by the state republican convention on Tues
day, will vote for the conference report In
heir respective houses. Senator Burkett
said the bill had been Improved very much
In conference and that President Taft hud
won a notable victory. He said there were
some things In the bill that he was not In
favor of, and that did not suit him, but
that it was u very much better bill "nan
could have been expected some time ago;
that in view of his Instructions from the re
cent state convention he could do nothing
more than support the hands of the presi
dent, who had brought about so many ma
terial reductions over that of either house.
Judge Norrls, who has been ' one of tho
strongest leaders against "Mtand-patlsm,"
said tonight that, while he had not com
pleted consideration of the tariff bill as
reported by the house conferees, he was
Impressed with Its downward tendency, and
believed that the bill was lmmeasuraoly
better than when It passed the senate, and
very considerably better than bs It passed
the house. While he would not commit
himself to vote for the conference report.
It Is confidently believed that the entire
republican representation from Nebraska
will be found voting for the measure on lis
final passage.
Iowa Delegation Divided.
The Iowa republican delegation held a
meeting this afternoon In the rooms of
Captain Hull, chairman of the committee
on military affairs with a view of ascer
taining Just where they stood on the con
ference report, and, as predicted, they
