PARIS. July SI. Although all the cen
sored dispatches from Madrid agree that
General Brandon, the military commander
at Barcelona, haa ruthlessiy crushed the
revolt there, executing many ringleader
and that the government la now In control
of the situation, report filtering out at
Cerbere, on the French frontier, none of
which, however, was later than noon on
July 29, Indicate that the mob until then
had the upper hand, and that nothing In
history, with the exception of the Paris
commune, approached the ferocloua drama
being enacted.
All the reports agree that the movement
waa skillfully organized and broke like
a bolt from a clear sky. Three facta atand
out prominently.
First, the troops In the earliest stages
refuaed to fire on the mob, either because
they were numerically Inferior, or because
they were In sympathy with the mob;
aecond, the movement waa distinctly revo
lutionary and anti-clerical; and third, the
fury of the mob waa vented almost entirely
against the church and tta representatives,
private property being generally spared.
Populace Acclaim the Troops.
Eye witnesses saw the populace every
where acclaiming the troops, while cursing
and fighting the police and the civil guard
and the crlea were "down with the govern
ment!" "Down with the King!" ,'Long
live the republic!"
Stories of the ferocity of, the mob toward
church property and the priests, monks and
nuna are Incredible. The monka who could
not escape through the subterranean pas
sages In the monasteries were beaten and
killed. The nuna fleeing from the burning
convent were driven half naked through
the streets, and the priests, it Is reported,
were shot at the steps of the altar. It la
even stated that the mangled bodies of
monks were carried on poles through the
streets by 10,000 people, and that-the cap
tain general waa helpless to interfere.
The revolutionary, committee directed
everything. Ntwlthstai;-1iha' tnls anti
clerical ferocity, other icports Intimate
that the Curllsta, who stand for clerical
reaction In Spain, had a hand In the or
ganisation of the uprising.
Army on War Foot I a.
SAN' SEUASTIAN. (Via French Fron

PEKPIUNAN. France, Spanish Frontier,

to the governor general of Oerona, which
province adjoins that of Barcelona:
"I have the honor to Inform you that

at Barcelona. There are many prisoners."
On receipt of the captain general's tele
gram, the governor general communicated
the Information to the mayors of his prov
ince. It Is believed railroad communica
tion between Port Bou and Barcelona will

SAN SEBASTIAN (via the French Fron

army corps have arrived at Bilbao, capital
of the province of Biscay, to auppress the
general strike which has been announced

the basque provinces, where many hopa
the revolutionists will succeed.
LONDON, July SI. A Spaniard, self-ad
nilttedly a socialist of the more extreme
variety, la quoted today In the Pall Mall
GasettA as declaring It to be his belief
that the Spanish minister of the Interior,
Mi-nor Lactorva, "whose methods and mind
both savor of the middle ages," would
Infallibly be assassinated If his resignation
Is much longer delayed. This Spaniard also
says the socialist leadera would declare a
general strlko, and concluded with the
ominous prophecy that "Sunday will be a
day to be remembered In Spain's history."
There Is nothing to Indicate whether the
unnamed Spaniard haa any source of In
spiration or Is merely a braggart.

ship Indiana.
NEW YORK. July 31. Or. Luk Wing,
CI inese vice consul at New York,
graduate of Lehigh and Yale universities,
who married an American girl sixteen years
ago. was mortally wounded In his office
on the fifth floor of No. 18 Broadway, by
a Chinaman, who gives contradictory re
ports of himself In pidgin English.
Dr. Wing died tonight In St. Gregory's
hoipltal shortly after S o'clock. He was
shot In the back with a revolver, and the
bullet, entering below the shoulder blades,
lodged in the lower lobe of the left lung.
No attempt to probe for It waa made. Mrs.
Wing, who Is 111 herself, was driven to the
hospital In time to be at the bedside. Her
husband recognized her and smiled, but
at no time was he strong enough to make
an ante-moterm statement.
Murderer la Identified.
Michael McDonald, who for twenty-seven
years has been special watchman at the
Chinese consulate, Identified the murderer
tonight aa Wo'ng Bow Cheung, who he says
was formerly a steward on the United
States battleship Indiana. The man, him
self, who waa first thought to b a
Japanese, gave his name to the police as
Matuda Woung and said he lived at 121R
Buttonwood Mreet, Philadelphia, although
until recently he had been employed as
cook at Glennhall, an Atlantic City hotel.
He came to New York only yesterday. He
la undersized and crop-haired and wears
American clothes. The rational motive for
the murder has developed.
McDonald says he believes the man Is
crazy. During the six years he has been
in this country he has been In and out of
the consulate at intervals, importuning
whomever he could find for a position or
for a loan.
Ko Witnesses to Shooting.
Nobody witnessed the shooting. The as
sassin, when he reached the street waa
taken in charge by two policemen who had
noticed his agitation and haste. A re
volver with one exploded shell and a mis
fired shell In It was found In his coat
pocket.
Quong Ylck Nam, the Chinese interpreter
who figured prominently In the Elsie Slgel
case, quizzed the prisoner at length to
night. He talka freely to Anyone, but his
excited and broken answers to questions
seem to bear out McDonald's theory that
the man Is deranged.
Plea of St "-Defense.
The element ot fact In his conflicting
statements Is that he had a grievance
against the vice consul because applications
for aid had been refused. Although he
complained of being In want and having
slept last nlht In the municipal lodging
house, the pc ce found $14.65 In his clothes.
He denies thai he murdered Dr. Wing, and
asserts that he fired In self-defense. He
says he was being forcibly ejected from the
corsulate when he resisted and the vice
consul drew a revolver and they fought
for the weapon, and he got it, he declares,
and he fired point blank.

Representatives Norrls, Klnkaid and Hln
shaw, the three Nebraska republicans,
voted for the report, while the three demo
crats from Nebraska voted agaliiBt it.
Burke and Martin of South Dakota and
Mondell of Wyoming also voted for It.
In Session Eleven Honrs.
The vote was the climax of an eleven
hour session, conducted through most op
pressive heat, but notwithstanding, it was
enlivened by a dozen or more speeches Of
more or less fiery nature. The temperature
did not deter a vast throng from going to
the capitol to witness the dosing scene.
The day opened with what appeared to
be part of an organized filibuster against
the conference report, when Mr. Mondoll,
(Wyo) demanded the reading of the
lengthy document. This proceeded for
about an hour and a half, when with
about two-thirds remaining to be read,
Mr. Mondell permitted the debate to g(i
on.
Chairman Payne defended the report and
appealed to IiIm repuhlicr-n oolleagues to
support It, prophesying at the same time
that when the bill was enacted into a law
It would meet with the approval of the
country.
Mr. Clark, the minority leader, and
many of his colleagues denounced the bill,
and chastized the republicans for failing,
as they alleged, to revise the tariff down
ward, and thus keep their parly pledges.
Muiiu Attacks the Bill.
PerliapH the most sensational speech of
all was by Mr. Mann of Illinois, republi
can, who said he would vole against the
report because the rates on pulp and
print paper, as reduced by the house,
were not retained. He denounced that
particular hchcdule, and he declared that
Canada would take such action regarding
pulp wood and print paper as to place an
almost prohibitory price upon paper In
this country.
At 9:07 p. m. the houve, with the con
ference report ready to be sent to the
senate for action, adjourned until Mon
day noon.
Payne Speaks for Bill.
Mr. Payne made a most earnest plea for
the adoption of the conference report.
"We have revised the tariff and have
taken off unnecessary duties," said Mr.
Payne, "not all along the line generally,
but we have revised the tariff downward
and yet we have held the scales so evenly
that we have done no Injury to any person
or any Industry in the United States.
These rates Increase the revenue from
customs less than $1,000,000, The corporation
tax is estimated to produce $26,000,000 and
tofcacco $i),500,000."
He placed the increase of revenue at
about 40.000,000, which he said "Is revenue
enough when this bill gets Into full work
ing otder, to supply the necessary demands
of the government, but not to build the
Parama canal. We will leave that to
another generation. We have provided for
funds that will establish the policy ot tills
government In that reepect."
"The Dlngley law during all Its period
of existence haa provided ample revenue,
and there Is no doubt this law will do- the
rame for another twelve years," be con-
tlnued. "Let us puts it, gentlemen on this
side of the house. The duty la ours; the
time has arrived.
"There will come in another bill on
of these daya and In the meantime many
wheels of industry will atop, enterprise
will be paralyzed: the country will stand
still or will move backward and you will
curxe the day when you failed to go
with the frreat majority of your party,
your president having lent hla approval
to thla bill. Let us pass the bill and
give Joy and happiness to the people of
the United States. Let us start the re
mainlng idle wheels of industry. Let
us put every man who wants to work at
work."
Thunderous applause greeted Mr. Payn
as he took his feat
Champ Clark Is Cheered.
The democrats had their Innings when
Champ Clark (Mo.), their leader, arose
to present their view of the bill. Tim
ovation to him was no lest sincere than
that accorded Mr. Payne. Recalling the
story of the Brahmin who had been
fooled Into believing that the dog was
a nheep fit for sacrifice, Mr. Clark said
President Taft wu. a 'pious Brahmin."
ho had been linponed on by being made
to believe that the conference report was
really a revision downward.
Mr. Clark submitted a table, which he
said was approximately correctihuwlng,
according to Mr. Clark, that the average,
rate of the report la 1 71 per cent higher
than the averaKe rate of the Dlngley
law. Jf scores of new Items in the re.
