SHOCKING ANARCHIST CRIMES IN SPANISH REVOLT

CHAOS IN THE PROVINCES

Although the authorities of Madrid claim that the revolt in Spain has been checked, grave disturbances are reported from many parts of the country. Complete chaos reigns in Barcelona and San Sebastian, where many casualties have occurred.

Chief feature of the Anarchists' "revolution" is the outrage campaign: Terrible loss of life occurred in an express disaster caused by a time bomb.

Heavy losses were inflicted on rioters who attempted to carry the municipal buildings at Coll Blanca by storm in the face of armed troops.
