KING DENOUNCES MAURA Premier Accused of Hiding the Con- demnation of Ferrer Until It Was Too Late for Royal Interference. Proposal to Further Extend the Con- scription Laws Adds to the Revolu- tionary Spirit: ! Madrid, via Hendaye, France, Oct. 19.—More fuel was added to the rap- idly growing flame of disaffection throughout Spain by the announce- ment that the cabinet has had intro- duced in the certes a bill providing for the further extension of the con- scription by forcing conscripts who have already bought their exemption frem service for $300 to pay an addi- tional $100 or serve, despite their original purchase. If the bill is passed thousands of peasant families, pov- erty stricken by their efforts to raise the $200 to keep father or son at home, will {ind their sacrifice unavail- ing. The measurs strikes directly at the poorer classes and has done more to cause revolutionary feeling than the Ferrer execution. The first test of the Liberals and Conservatives is ex- pected to come on the eve of the pros. ecution of Senator Ortega, who is charged with com[)licit\y in the Rar SENOR MAURA. celona riots. The established courts- martial have demanded that the law exempting legislative officials from service be suspended to allow the trial of Ortega. In the legislative struggle on the question a crisis may be developed which will mean the downfall of the present cabinet. It is said that King Alfonso,- wrought up by the interna- tional agitation following Ferrer’s ex- ecuticn, held a consultation with Pre- mier Maura, at the conclusion of which he told Maura the present cab- inet had lost the royal favor by -its attitude in the Ferrer case. Alfonso, it is said, accused Maura of hiding the condemnation of Ferrer from him un- til it was too late to interfere. He told the minister the execution of Fer- rer had heen unduly hasty, to prevent the possibility of the king pardoning the revolutionist. The report of the interview has created a sensation in government circles. EXPEL SPANISH AMBASSADOR Resolution Prepared by Socialist Mem- bers of British Parliament.
