AFFAIRS IN SPAIN
NUMBER OF ARMY OFFICERS REDUCED PAPAL NUNCIO VISITS MINISTER OF JUSTICE Press Association —By Telegraph —Copyright. MADRID, April 26. (Received April 27, at 1.40 p.m.) Mindful that the .delator, General Do Rivera, increased the Ministerial salaries by 10,000 pesetas, Ministers refused to increase theirs until the Cortes decides whether an increase is warranted. The Minister of War is reducing the number of army officers, and lias ordered that there shall be no further admissions to the ) .Hilary academy for 1931. Tho Papal .Nuncio visited _ the Minister of Justice, and assured him of the church's desire to collaborate with the Government in maintaining order. Ho hoped that the Republic would respect tho rights of religion. The only petty sit of the magnificent victory is tne almost maniacal destruction of Royalist emblems in shops, and the hasty obliteration of coats of arms, formerly proudly displayed. Tho Minister of Finance has forbidden the members of the Royal family and relatives to the fourth degree to soil property until Crown property has been taken over by tho Republic, which is offering the palaces and gardens to municipalities.
