IIITCIIENER’S NEW POST. Is to be Inspector of all the Over- seas Forces. 1 A despatch from London says: Lord Kitchener has been appoint- "cd to the Mediterranean command, recently vacated by Connaught. )tralia, inspect the troops there, and advise on the best way of giv- ing effect to certain proposals for ~ developments which are being dis- cussed at the Imperial Defence Con- ference. In some quarters it is be- lieved that there is an intention to co-ord'inate all the military forces of the empire and place Lord Kitchener at the head of the orâ€" anization, which will have the mperial army for its special care. Events would seem to be moving in this direction, says the Daily Graphic. The-re can be no question that Lord Kitchener is of all men the one best suited for a Command of this kind. The Express declares . that Lord Kitchener’s new post is synonymous with the inspectorship of all the overseas forces. _,x,.; ‘ SIIOT WIFE AS SHE SLEPT. 4-..â€" Mrs. Joseph J.

Martial law is still in force. The civil guards and po- lice, armed with rifles still patrol he streets. The wholesale shoot- ing of prisoners after court-martial still goes on at the Fortress of Montjuich. Rumor states that the revolutionisls will recommence outrages unless the remaining pris- oners are released. Arrests con- tinue on a large scale. Prisoners are constantly seen with their hands tied behind their backs and escorted by civil guards. Two well known journalists of Anarchistic feudencies were arrestcd Monday. Lluny Officers and soldiers are deâ€" serting and crossing the frontier. Many bodies have been found un- der the ruins of the convents. Memâ€" tcrs of the Red Cross can be still seen transporting charred remains. l l l 1 Optimists should not omit to note the large bloodstains on the uni- forms of the Red Cross men. The correspondent, in a despatch dated Monday, describes children playing at revolution, shooting at each other with toy rifles, and cry- ing “Viva la Republica.” He de- clares it would take volumes to de- scribe the desolation now spread- ing its cloak over Barcelona. In speaking of the convent Church of the Magdalen, he says: “The whole place is a heap of ruins, which are still smoking, although the place was set‘on fire five days ago. In the garden there were thirty vaults where dead sisters were buried. The coffins from these were pulled down and opened, and the corpses thrown about the gar- den.
