100 Lives Believed Lost In Anarchist Uprising Against Catalan Regime.

Official dispntche: said peace was restored to the city's streets with the Government again in control.

However, occasional shots still were heard in parts of the city al- though street fighting was ended. In some streets barricades remain- ed. Anarchist forccs still held the towns of Puiggerda and Belver, near the French border.

Lstet reports indicated the an- archist uprising represented a spilt evcn within anarchist ranks. Just as the Barcelona bat/tie was a civil conflict within Spain's civil war. More moderate anarchists did not Join their militant colleagues. Three anarchist lenders who were members olf the former Cctaloniiui Government called on their fel- lows to stop righting, but without avail.

Reports said the tanks which rumlbled through Barcelona's streets during the fighting were in the hands of anarchists, to whom they had been assigned for front line duty against the lnsuruents. Instead the anarchists paraded them to impress Government forces with their strength.

Duke Of Windsor De-

fers Revealing Mar- riage D a t e Until After The Coron- ation.

I

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) MONTS, France, May 5—The Duke of Windsor ha". won the con- sent of his bride-to-be to his plans for s. honeymoon in Austria, with a vast, grey 13th century castle as headquarters. , '

The Duke's plans for such a wedding tour, to be filled with golf- ing, mountsin-climblng and yacht- ing on the Adriatic, were made known in Austria a. week ago, be- fore his hasty departure for France, but it was not known until tonight how this would suit Mrs. Wallis Simpbn.

While he was still at St. Wolf- gang the Duke permitted his suite to announce he had rented Wess- erleonburg Castle, set among the Alpine lakes of southern Austria, from his friend, Count Paul Muen- ster. He had taken it for the summer months and let it be known he intended to occupy it after his wedding.

That the future Duclies had concurred in this program was dis- closed by a. member of the Castle household, although there was no formal announcement. The offic- ial spokesman for the couple, Her- man L. Rogers, made no mention of the honeymoon in his talk: with newspapcrmen, in accordance with the wishes of the former King that no announcements of plans connected with the wedding be made until after the Coronation in London May l2.

But while deferring to the

Duke's wishes concerning the near future, Mrs. Simpson, it was dis- closed, was holding out for hcr own preference for the United States or Canada as their per- manent home. Meanwhile she yielded to the Duke's enthusiasm for Austria's mountains and lakes. which caught his fancy during his recent exile. His suite had already disclosed his hopes to spend the summer at Wasserleonburg, where there is swimming and golf and which would make ideal headquarters for yachting trips on the Adriatic or for climbing of Austria's highest peaks.
