Several Arrests Made. By the Assoclated Pre: BIARRITZ, France, November 26.— The trouble between Spanish Artillery | Corps officers and the Spanish govern- ment remains unsettled and a rather turbulent state of affairs exists, says a Spanish artillery officer who has ar- rived here from Irun, Spain. Gen. Fabriciano Haro y Porto, who was dismissed as chief of the artillery section following the abortive rebellion of the artillery corps early last Sep- tember, has been arrested, together with his brother and a lieutenant colonel and a captain, and taken to the military prison. It is alleged by the Spanish officer here that military docu- ments of a compromising nature were found in their possession. The judge advocate general is investigating the case. Gen. Haro's arrest came after the receipt by the Spanish authorities of information concerning a meeting at his residence which was attended by all lieutenant colonels suspended from the artillery regiments. At the confer- ence, it 1s said, a resolution was adopt- ed that it was impossible to sign the new terms for reinstatement as laid down In a recent royal decree vir- tually inviting the suspended officers to return to the ranks and be restored to active duty. The officers expressed a desire to be transferred to the reserve, however, which they could not do unless they applied for active reinstatement. The documents were found in the home of Gen. Haro's brother after the police failed to discovdr anything of that na- ture at Gen. Haro's residence. It is asserted that at a meeting at- tended by all commanding officers of the Madrid garrison the officers were requested to record their adhesion to the government. Many of the higher and wealthier officers of the artillery declded to retire from the service, while others, it was revealed, already had found civil employment.
