SITUATION IN SPAIN
LAWLESSNESS INCRREASING STERN MEASURES ADOPTED | By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] MAIDKJD, May J I. The lawlessness is rapidly subsiding. A crowd yesterday threatened to set fire to the palace of the Bishop of Malaga unless he fled. The Bishop, to save the palace, obeyed and reached Gibraltar where the Bishop of Cadiz is also taking refuge. The Government, realising the necessity for greater sternness, has dismissed many police chiefs. The head of the Cordoban Civil Guard has imprisoned the Secretary of the Cordoban Prefecture for monarchism. The executive of the Monarchist Club will be prosecuted. The crowd beat a woman who cried: “Long Jive the King,” and compelled hep to cheer the Republic. At Alicante, Republicans rescued the superior of the monastery when the crowd was rushing him to the deckside with a rope round his neck, with the intention of drowning him.
