EX-DICTATOR WATCHING

London, March 1. Gibraltar dispatch the Daily News predicts sensa-a tional developments in Spain as a consequence of the disavowal of the monarchy by Sanchez Guerra, the former premier.

The dispatch said that King Al fonso's position is extremely diff- calt. According to information received from royal palace circles, the king intends to fight rather than abdicate.

Under certain circamalances, it was asserted, another dictatorship, headed by General Martinez Anido, home secretary during the de Rivera administration, might be expected. The dispatch explained that General Anido conferred with Captain General Barrera and other generals, after which General Bar- rera resigned as a protest against the mildness of Premier Berenguer.

The correspondent denied re- porta that the Queen of Spain is to depart for England shortly.

Absolute Monarchy

Madrid, March 1.

Not since the fall of the dietatorship of General Miguel Primo de Rivera has the political situation in Spain heen so tense as it was to-day.

The government of Premier Damaso Berenguer was watching developments anxiously us many leaders expressed belief that King Alfonso XIII is about to establish an absolute monarchy to protect his throne against the rising tide of Republicanism,

ftumours of дл impending military coup have been rite in Spain since Wednesday's radiocast speech of former Premier Jose Sanchez Guerra who demanded the abdication of King Alfonso and the declaration of a Republic.

rumours that a military coup may be expected. There have been re-

ports that martial law is in pros pect in order to quell the demands for a republican form of govern- ment, but these as yet are entirely unconfirmed.

Throughout Spain thousands have expressed sympathy with Sanchez Guerra in his desires for a republic. The militant attitude of the aged but distinguished statesman has caused great ner vousness. in court circles. The Berenguer government, pledged to restore constitutional monarchy and government to Spain, is in a ticklish situation. It dare not act against the wishes of the King nor, because of public sentiment, may It move to silence Sanchez Guerra.

Police throughout Spain are busi- ly engaged in breaking up student demonstrations demanding the ab dication of the King and complete abolition of the monarchy,

"Down with the King," and "Give us a republic," are the cries heard in many places throughout Spain.
