Madrid. March 1. Popular feeling
here irt bitter against the I'nited States
because of the action of the senate In
adopting: a resolution favoring the
granting of belligerent rights to the
Cuban rebels. As staled In the United
Press dispatches lust night the stock
market here yesterday responded to the
exnltement und there was a muteriul
decline in purely Spanish und Cuban
securities. In view of the linuncial
dltllctilties under which the government
is la burl iiK. this is a most unfortunate
time for Spanish securities to decline in
vu lue.
The uction of Admiral UerengeT. min
ister of murine, in ordering the speedy
preparation uf six warships and some
of the naval reserve Vessels of tile
'Spanish truns-A tluntlc company fur
dispatch to the Huhumu channel meets
with hearty approval. It Is very evi
dent, that despite Prime Minister Cas
tillo's di-duration yeslenluy that If
President Cleveland should be com
pelled In endorse the uction of congress
it would not provoke uu international
courtict nor Interrupt the friendly rela
tions existing between Spain und the
United States, the government is doing
Its utmost to prepuce against any pos
sible contingency.
The prime minister said last evening:
"I trust that President Clevelund Will
veto the formal resolution of congress,
and I have more reason to trust that he
will nut comply with the recommenda
tion con tallied therein."
lie added: "The granting of bellig
erent rights to the Cuban rebels; Is not
u casus belli, but Spain shall declare
that It is not the net of a friendly na
tion. I do not think that Spain Is
threatened by foreign aggression, but
measures shall he taken for the defense
or Spanish rights, chietly In Cuba. As
regard demonstrations in the streets
here,. I shall repress them severely if
they ure attempted."
SHA'Kl.A'H OPINION.
Senor Silvela, leader of the Dissident
convervutives, has .In uu Interview ad
vised the union of ull Snuniards with
out regard to their political faith, lie
udded that the uct of the Ameriruti
senate was without precedent in Inter
national law. He greatly feared con
sidering fie bad faith of the Amerlcuns
that they gave belligerent rights u dll'
n rent meaning than Is described In
.Mti i nutiouul law.
,n interview was also sought with
tSelior 1'astelar. the Itepublicun leuder,
but he refused to speak on the sub
ject us he considered the circumstances
of the most serious nature.
The Duke of Tetuun, minister fit for
eign u Halts, sent a long cable' despatch
to Senor Dupn.v De Koine, Spunlsh ain
hiiHsador at Washington, instructing
him tu present to the Americun gov
ernment a formal reclamutlon UKalust
the Insults offered to Spulli in speeches
in the senate during the discussion of
the belligerency resolution.
The troops are confined to their bar
tucks in reudlness to respond to any
call for their services.
This morning the city was quiet, but
the public buildings, the American le
gation, und the residence of Minister
Taylor were guarded, the authorities
fearing- that in the present stute of
public excitement an attack miKht lie
made upon them. A group of lift y stu
dents intruded this morning. They were
perfectly orderly and no attempt wus
made to Interfere with them. At the
I'nlverslty the students this afternoon
attempted to make a demonstration,
but the police having in iiiluil the lust
troubles they hud with these young
men. promptly Intervened and dis
persed them.
Acting under Instructions from the
government, no group of persons Is al
lowed to amuoiich Hie Culled States
legation or the house occupied by Min
ister Taylor.
In addition to the six warships the
ministry of murine has ordered that
several torpedo bouts and one torpedo
cutcher be muile reudy. for immediate
despatch in the event of the United
States acknowledging the Cubans as
belligerents.
ATTACK AT BAKCKLONA.
Despatches from Barcelona stute that
an attack has been made upon the I lil
ted Stales coiiBUla'.e In thut city, not
withstanding: the fuel thut the building
wus guarded. During the day u pro
cession comprising ten thousuud per
sons, headed fly lour Ite publican mem
bers of the chiunber of deputies, par
uded through the principal streets of
the city us a demonstration against the
action of the American senute. A
strong guard had been placed uliout the
Americun consulate in anticipation of
trouble. As the procession passed It
there was some derisive whistling in
terspersed with cut calls, und other
tokens of disapproval. Some of the
puruders tried to force their way into
the building, but the police und gen
darmes succeeded in driving; them
uway. but. not until they hud been
forced to charge upon the nmli with i
drawn sabres. While this trouble wus I
going on the muln body of the proces
sion continued its march to the town
hall, w here the leaders of the demon
stration handed to the mayor u strongly
worded protest against the action of
the American senate and also ugainst
the speeches that hud been delivered
therein on the Cuban question, it being
declared that some of the speakers hud
grossly insulted Spain and the Spunlsh
government in defending Cuban bun
dlts and outlaws.
Subsequently a great crowd assem
bled in the plaza Cutalunu, and u num
ber of patriotic speeches there deliv
ered. The crowd became .greatly ex
cited by the burning oratory of the
speakers, and after the meeting- had
broken up a large number proceeded
to the American consulate, where they
gave vent to their patriotism by ston
ing the building, muc h to the damage
of the windows thereof.
As In previous demonstration! in
Barcelona the police were almost Im
potent to disperse the rioters, who did
about as they pleased.
OUR FLAG IN THE DUST.
In the evening there was another out
burst of disapproval of the United
States and all things American. This
time It took the form of publicly dis
honoring the American fiug. The riot
ers hud purchased somewhere a large
American flag, which, after it had been
dragged through the streets, was
pulled to pieces amid cries of "Long
lire Spain." and "Down with the Amer
icans." There is still much exc itement
in the city.
After this outrage on the Has; of the
i'nited States the mob became more
violent and a proposition to make a fur
ther demonstration against the Ameri
can consulate was speedily acted upon.
The mob proceeded to the consulate, in
the meantime arming themselves with
stone .trrlvtil ut that consulate ur.
feet volley of missiles was directed
against the shield over the doorway
bearing the American coat of arms,
which was buttered almost to pieces.
The mob In some wuy became pos
sessed of several American Hugs, which
were destroyed amid ribuld Jests and
expressions of contempt for the na
tion they represented.
The situation was becoming more and
more threatening, when reinforcements
for the gourds at the consulate arrived
in the shape of a detachment of mount
ed gendarmes. The crowd wus ordered
to disperse, which they sullenly refused
to do, whereupon the gendarmes
charged them with drawn swords and
put them to flight. Several of the riot
ers were injured by being trampled
Uin by the horses.
Until a late hour the boulevards were
thronged by uji excited crowd singing
the "Mursellulse" und patriotic Spun
lsh songs.
SQUADRON' IX RF.ADIXF.SS.
Admiral Berenger has also ordered
that the training squadron be held In
readiness for service. Its probable ob
jective point Is Cuba.
Fifty merchant vessels will receive
armament nnd will be used as trans
ports or crulers should the necessity
arise. Several c aptains in the merchant
service have offered to arm their vessels
und turn them Into privateers In the
event of war. A captain in Barcelona
has iiiYornied the government thut If
he be granted letters of marque he will
tit out and maintain at his own cost a
swift sleumer to prey upon the mari
time commerce of the United States.
.Minister Taylor was expected last
night to attend the opera, where he
has u box. He did not go. however, as
he learned that a hostile demonstration
hud been prepared for 111 r i a nnd he
thought it best not to udd fuel to the
Hume that Is now burning so brightly
against the country 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 that the government is too
cool heuded to be curried away by popu
lar clumor. It will take ull the steps
It deems right and expedient to protect
Spunlsh interests, but will do nothing to
provoke a war with the United States.
Tlie prime minister bus announced
that the government has siitllelent re
sources to conduct the war In Culm un
til the end of May lieu it will usk the
Cortes to grunt a further credit,
l'KUDKNCK AD VUCAT K D.
The lmpurciul (independent) today
advises prudence, und exhorts the min
istry to uwult events. It says: "If
mutters reach the conclusions the
Amerlcuns desire the whole of Spain
will rise ugainst the I'nited States.
Neither in the Meillterrranean. whose
entrance we command, nor on the At
lantic, will a single Americun ship be
safe, for we shall organize privuteers
on a large sc ale. We must not make a
noisy demonstration like the Portugese
ut the time of the dispute with (ireut
Brituin. We conquered Napoleon by a.
system of guerrilla, warfare and we
shall establish a system of privuteers
that will coiniuer n. mercantile nution
on the sea. The Americans are wrong
to Judge Spain by her llniinces. There
are considerations superior to the rev
enues of the country."
WAR NP.WS AT WASHINGTON.
How the Intelligence of the Insult to
America's I lug Was Kccnlvcd.
Washington, March 1. The de
spatches reported to have been sent
from Madrid to Senor Dupuy De Lome,
Spanish minister at this capital direct
ing him to present to the United States
government a formul protest against
the character of the speeches made In
the senate on the Cuban resolutions
had not been received-by the minister
up to midnight. The i'nited Press de
spatches containing accounts of the de
monstrations In Madrid unci Barcelona
were shown the minister und reud by
him with much Interest, lie declined
to discuss them further thun to say
that the Spunlsh government would
doubtless cause the arrest of the leud
ers und punish them. The penalty, he
suid would be a severe one.
Respecting the report that the min
ister of the marine had ordered six war
ships und a Heel of torpedo boats to lie
held in readiness for Ininiecliule dis
patch to Cuba, In case the United States
acknowledged the Cubans us belliger
ents, Mr. he lome sulci he had Hot been
Informed that juicli action hud been
taken. But It would be only natural,
he sulci, that it should be so. A recog
nition of the Cubans us belligerents
Would necessitate u blockading uf the
Isluuds for which suc h u force of ships
would be necessary. At present there
ure but one or two large ships in Cubun
waters, the remainder of the Spanish
nuvul force being III He bouts doing pu

ers. MR. MITT'S OPINION.
Mr. Hltt, chairman of the house com
mittee on foreign affairs, who reported
the Cuban resolutions which ore pend
ing before thut body, read the news
contained In the United Press dis
patches wilh much Interest. "The out
break In Burcelcma." he said, "is but
the natural expression of popular feel
ing, of which there have been manifes
ta.tions in this country, some of them
directed usaliist Spain. The govern
ment of SSoalu has taken the proper po
sition and la doing ull that run be done
to prevent trouble and to protect our
lepreseuii'tives from annoyance and
danger. The popular feeling in Spain
I feel assured Is bused uiion the gen
eral belief there that the United Slates
proposes or at least Is ready to pro
ceed to hostilities. This Impression or
belief in part grows out of the fact thut
up to the present time there huve been
no complaints by the Spanish govern
ment of any action by the United States
or of its failure to net und the Spanish
people assume that the passage of I lie
belligerency resolutions mean that we
ure ready to go further. This shows
how grave are the consequences which
may ensue from our action nnd enforce
the necessity- of proceeding with great
caution and a realization of the possible
results of our uction. The consul ut
Barcelona." continued MV Hltt, "is
Clarence W. Bo Wen, of New York. I do
not believe that any net of his pd to
the outbreak there, for. according to
my Information. Mr. Bowen Is Inclined
to be pro-Spanish in his views."
i Mr. Hltt wus Hsked whether the
events of today would Influence the dis
liosition of the resolutions in the house
or tend to hasten I heir consideration.
"I do not see that they will" he re
plied. "Under instructions from the
committee I tried the other day to get
unanimous consent for their considera
tion, but failed. Mr. Cannon, who Is in
charge of the lending appropriation
bill, tells me that It is acting under in
structions from his committee in press
ing it upon the attention of the house,
and that he cannot yield the right of
way for anything else. His position Is
perfectly proper and until the legis
lative, executive and Judicial bill Is dis
posed of the resolutions will have no
chance that I now see to lie considered."

rierlln, March 1. The heat In the
highest political atmospheie against
Kuglund is becoming Intensllieil. In un
Interview upon the subject with a rep
resentative of the United Press yester
day a prominent flerninn diplomat de
llned the situation brlelly as follows:
"Kngland." he said, "Is rapidly ap
proaching a state In which she must
Hght for her position as an empire,
(lermauy has no Ill-feeling toward
Hi eat Britain and bus no wish to see
her dismembered, but the other nations
now seeing her weuk points everywhere
on the globe thinks the time hus come
to square up Knglund's old accounts.
Uermuu won't Initiate the light nor hus
she any desire to make an unti-ICngllsh
alllunce. On the contrary she will
stand aloof und let Knglaiid demon
strate that she Is still entitled to the
supremacy she c laims. There muy be
tall words," he said, "but they echo the
exact opinions of the emperor und the
leading statesmen of liermuny, who
have arrived at the conclusion that
Kugland must soon prove that she pos
sesses her supposed vltullly us u greut
power."
LACK OF KNTKHPR1SE,
The luck of enterprise characterizing
the (lei until press is shown by the fact
thut not n single newspaper hus yet
commented seriously upon the action ot
the United Stales In regard to Culm.
Instead of discussing this, the most
Important and Interesting topic of the
day, the papers have devoted their
space to the publication of attacks uvon
Knglund's mono-metuillc policy. It Is
currently reported thut the emperor In
nn Interview with the chancellor,
Prince llohenlohe, expressed a desire to
send u communlcalloii in regard to the
American senate's action to (he Queen
Regent of Spain, but was dissuaded by
the chancellor from doing so. No
clearly dellned opinion can be obtained
us to how the otllidal press will be di
rected to treat the matter, but the be
lief Is almost general In government
circles that u strong pro-Spanish hlus
will be assumed.

AGITATION OVER CUBA
The Spanish Government Presents tin
Unruffled front.
FOREIGN PRESS HAS RABIES
London and Madrid Newspapers Make
laces at lucle Sain-Kcinarkablo
Comparisons In the St. James
Gazette-tl Liberal War Talk.
Madrid, March 1. In an Interview
yesterday Prime Minister Canovas del
Castillo said he doubted thut President
Clevelund upproves u recognition of the
Cubun insurgents us belligerents, but If
he should be compelled to endorse the
action of congress It would not provoke
an International coonlllc-t nor inter
rupt the friendly relations existing be
tween Spain and the United States.
A dcclurution of belligerency, the prime
minister udded, had moral, not inute
riul. Importance. Spuln was not buy
ing war material In the United States.
On the other hand, the recognition of
the Cuban rebels as belligerents would
bind the United Slntes to a greater
neutrality.
The Madrid papers in commenting
nn the grunting of proposed belligerent
rights to the Cubans says thut the rec
ognition uf the Cuban rebels by the
American government Is un event of
graver import to Spain than any which
has occurred for years. The papers
add that the remarkable majority In
favor of the resolution shows that the
Semite Is utterly hostile to Spain.
HI Liberal denounces the recognition
of the belligerent rights of the rebels
us unjust and opposed to law.
"Spain," says F.l Liberal, "will resist
even to the drenching of the soil with
Spanish blood any determined attempt
to affront the foreign intervention those
who have never yet submitted to It.
The pretension of the Washington sen
ate In begging President Cleveland to
Interpose Ids good otllces to the end of
Independence of Cubu Is beyond con
ception." F.XCL1SH VIKWS.
London, March I. The St. James fla
siette thinks President Cleveland, as a
result of his action In December had
bred trouble for himself and the states
men of America.
"After twisting the lion's tull anil
threatening Intervention In VenefcUela,
the tide now turns to Cuba. For a
country that fought a stupendous war
to suppress a rebellion of Its own citi
zens." It says, "the action of the Ben
Ute Is extreme indeed.
"The north poured out Us blood and
money to preserve the unity of the
states and suppress Its own rebels. Hut
F.uiopeun governments having terri
tory and subjects near the American
continent seem to have no rights. If
the United Stutes arrogates tin right
lo upset every government not admin
istered according to Its Ideals. It will
Unci its hands full, and might begin Its
work by reforming Venezuela.
"The Monroe doctrine Is of uncommon
flexibility to adaption. It being con
strued so thut It may say 'hands off' to
all Kuropeaiul 'bands on' for the United
States in cases where Kuropeun pow
ers ure -concerned.
SITUATION AT HAVANA.
The Presence of an American Man-of-
, W ar Is Needed.
' Havana, Feb. Kt, via Key West.
March 1. Since theuttltude of con
gress on the belligerency cpiestion huve
become plain, the feeling against Amer
icans here has greatly Increased. The
seizure of the Hennudu ullayed the
feeling for u few duys but It is now
more Intense than ever. The Span
lards bin me thii United Stutes for all
the present troubles. The locul press Is
bitter. The fact that the insurgents
discriminate In favor of property of
Americans adds to the hostile senti
ment. Already there Is talk by extreme
Spaniards of inaklie; a demonstration
against the United States. The volun
teers ure most rnbld. The captain gen
erul assured the consul general some
weeks uo that the regulars would be
held In reudlness tu protect Atuericuns
uguinst the Spanish volunteers, should
the emergency urlse. The absence of
an American warship Is greatly de
plored. The moral effect alone would
be great. Only those knowing the ex
plosive chnructer of rfhe Latin race run
appreciate the situation. Through pri
vate dispatches only, the fact leaked
out Hint the senate bus acted. As the
situation is reulized, the feeling grows.
It is Impossible to predict the result.
Americans are fleeing from all purt a
of the island to Havana.
Planters ordered to grind cane by the
government, and told to provide their
own protection, huve no recourse save
flight. The rebels threuten to destroy
mills and kill the owners, domes, and
Muceo have again applied the torch to
plantations in Matanzas, preparing to
grind. A planter hus been hanged with
in el-,rht miles of Havana. The Insur
gents have overrun the entire province
to occupy small towns twelve miles
away.
MOItK TROOPS COMINO.
Troops are being landed daily and
sent to .Matanzas province after domes
unci Muceo. It is probable other troops
w ill lie sent from Spain after the lT.iiou
en route have landed. It Is Impossible
to form an accurate estimate of the
number of insurgents. It Is certainly
not less, and probably much greater
than ut the beginning of last month.
VVeyler Is exerting every effort to check
depredations and decrease the ranks
of the enemy. He wus urged to Issue
a proclamation declaring all bandits
who failed to surrender In fifteen days.
He will probably not take such action
owing to the attitude of the United
States.
denernl W'eyler began an Investiga
tion of the Otiutoa horror immediately
ufter Its publication by the American
press. He hud interviews with Marcpils
derveren. Captain Culvo and others Im
plicated. There Is little doubt that the
examples will be made now the truth
has been revealed. Other Instances
huve occurred which W'eyler relied up
on resirts of subordini'tes nnd refused
to investigate. In the Candelurla affair
where seventeen prisoners were taken
from the Held after the battle and shot
down In cold blood. Weyler sent den
ernl Cunellu, who commanded back to
Spain. Weyler undoubtedly regrets
these oci'iirren-es. He realizes the ef
fect abroad and has ordered the gener
als to prevent rendition.
NO PRF.SS PASSKS.
The corresiMindetits have been de
prived of passes and cannot accompany
the Spanish columns. There are also
many obstacles in the way of visiting
cities and town", illc helson. corres
Himent of the New York Journal, has
been leleased from Moro ensile, but
only provisionally. The government Is
still Investigating. Michelson. is un
doubtedly Innocent of the charge of
crossing the rcln-1 line. The American
citizen in Juintern. shot In the nun and
taken prisoner In his house at Ouala-n,
is still In Moro i-aslle. Panels la the
case will be sent to Washington. The
case will probably follow the usual
course ami a trial will be granted after
long deay.
