MADRID, Spain. Aug. 2 ? Ignoring
the advice of his cabinet and counsel
lors, King Alfonso has decided to sup
port Premier Maura in prosecuting
the war against Morocco. All the
ofher cabinet officials advised the
King to withdraw the Spanish troops
from Moroccan soil, believing this the
only way to stop the revolt at home.
PAKIS, France. Aug. 2 ? Advices
received here from Madrid state that
the revolt is still in progress through
out Spain and that in the larger ci
ties martial law has been declared.
The situation is especially critical i"
Rarcolona and Madrid.
No news can be obtained from Mel
Mia in regard to the Moorish camp
aign. The last reports were that the
Spanish forces were in a very serious
position, being surrounded by a su
perior force of Moors.
The Spanish government has estab
lished a censorship and no news is
being given out by the officials of
the war department. In case the
Spanish forces in Morocco suffered a
severe defeat it is not at all probable
that the government would make pub
lic the news, as this would serve to
farther inflame the people against
the war.

Half of Prosperous City
Lies in Smoking Ruins?
Thousands of People Are
Homeless.
(By United Press.)
OSAKA, Japan. Aug. 2 ? At least
3.000 people lost their lives in the
fire which swept Osaka Saturday and
Sunday and which is still smouldering
hot and smoking in the ruins.
Probably more than 200,000 people
are homeless and have lost practically
all their earthly possessions in the
fire.
Osaka, one of the most prosperous
and wealthy cities of Japan, Is now a
smoking ruin. Half of the city was
swept by the fire and the property
Irss mounts so high into the millions
as to be unbelievable.
Practically all the large warehouses
were burned and the Buddhist temple,
the largest and most handsome in the
world, was completely destroyed.
The fire was got under control lats
Sunday. Thousands of soldiers fought
the fire and finally succeeded in con
trolling it by blowing out entire
square blocks with dynamite, thus
cheating the flames of their fuel.
The scenes in the devastated city
are horrible. Families are separated,
children wander about seeking par
ents, many are searching the ruins
for the bodies of friends whom they
believe to have perished.
The city is under strict .nart'al law
and excellent order has been preserv
ed. The homeless are being fed on
army rations.
Aid is being sent to Osaka from all
parts of Japan.
The turned portions of the city will
be rebuilt at once.
