BARCELONA POLICE
A REBELLIOUS ATTITUDE LARGE NUMBER DISMISSED LONDON, June 30. The Barcelona correspondent of The Times states that squads of cavalry patrol the streets, and police and Civil Guards, armed with Mausers, are posted at public buildings. The Ministers of War and Interior (Senor Gil Robles and Senor Portela) have arrived, and authorised that attempts at violence and demonstrations be dealt with by martial law. The decision is fully justified, as almost the complete breakdown of law and order in recent months is due largely to the rebellious attitude of a section of the police, 58 of whom were dismissed last week. Assassinations and attempts against employers, and the burning of trams and buses are alarmingly frequent.
