Madrid, May 6. All Spain is in a wild
etate of turmoil, and It new looks as
though the resignation of the cabinet
and the downfall of the dynasty la
matter of only a short time. The royal
family is said to be on the point of
flight. The situation Is more threaten
ing everywhere. Reports of riots are
pouring In from the provinces, and in
most cases there has been bloodshed,
A serious disturbance has occurred at
Cacores, and a still more violent dem
nnntrntlftn has taken place at Leon
where large crowds of women and chll
drcn paraded the streets, crying: '-. uiv

were Joined by large numbers of men
and the disorder became greater.'
Work of the Mob.
The mob stoned the restaurants, pro
Vision shops and the houses of mer
chants, smashing doors and wmaow
and seizing everything they could lay
hands on. The civil guard called upon
the crowd to disperse, but the demand
was refused, w hereupon the troops fired
a volley Into the mob, wounding many.
A mob of 10,000 persons rioted at Ilel-
qulst and plundered houses on all siaes.
The police flred Into the crowd, wound
ing six persons. Two soiaiers were
wounded bv the rioters. At Gljon, on
the r.ay of Biscay, the most desperate
encounter between the people ana me
troops has taken place. The rioters
faced the troops and bricks, tiles, etc.,
were hurled from windows and house
tops. The troops fired and a dozen
members of the mob fell, but the lead
ers rallied the rioters and returned to
the attack. The infantry ana civil
guards were driven back, the attlllery

No Word from Dewey.
London, May 6. The officials of the
Eastern Telegraph company, when
Questioned regarding the report that a
dispatch from Commodore Dewey had
reached Washington, said: "Neither
President McKlnley nor any one else
has received a message from Commo

Hong Kong. The company knows of
no communication emanating from
Manila since the cable was cut. The
company has been watching all points
for Manila intelligence, being anxious
regarding the safety of its staff and
