He did not go, however, as he learned that a hostile demonstration had been prepared for him and he thought it best not to add fuel to the flame that is now burning so brightly against the coun- try he represents. There is a general feeling that Spain must do something to avenge what she considers an insult to her honor, but it is thought the government is too coo! headed to be carried away by popular clamor.
