There is truth in the begorent rumors which have
been started from this city, Hostile attitude having
been assumed by the Spanish Minister and threat that
if his demands not complied with he would ask for
his passports II understood he has demanded that the
Spanish Consul at New Orleans should be publicly
instated In his Office and his flag saluted and further
that the should make goo1 any losses which
he has sustained In addition to this, 1t Is demanded

Orleans, from the violence Of the mob should also be
made coed.

needs be told that whatever Of damages they
may have incurred from the violence Of New 0rleanJ
mob must be recovered from the municipal State

There Is not the slightest doubt but what the Spanish
