DIREST CONFUSION REIGNS IN SPAIN.
MILITARY RUMOURED TO BE SUPPORTING KING. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received February 18, 1.15 p.m.) MADRID, February 17. The direst confusion reigned from dawn to dusk. Rumours circulated that the cavalry and artillery regiments in the various towns had declared their willingness to support the King against any enemies he cared to name. Such an announcement elsewhere would be a mere declaration of loyalty, but is Spain it has a decided political significance. Senor Guerra’s failure to form a Cabinet created a profound sensation, being interpreted as meaning that the King refused to accept the Constitutionalists’ conditions. The newspaper “El Debate” criticises Senor Guerra’s visit to gaol in order to secure Republican delinquents* cooperation and declares that he should be sent to an asylum.—“ Times” cable.
