MOD.
WAsHISGrcS. November 2l.-The dis
patches received by the Secretary of State
are combinations in part of the specia
telegrams from Madrid in regard to the
demonstrations against Minister Sickles. al
though the Secretary is of the opinion that
the specials are somewhat exaggerated
The mob which collected in front of the
American Legation was promptly dispersed
by the government. and there is no doubt
here in official circles but that the authori
ties at Madrid are tully capable of prevent
ing an outbreah.
The position of Minister Scklps il very
uncomfortable. but it is not believed that
any violence will be suffered, as Mr. Sickles
telegraphs that the Spanish officials are
| equal to the emergency.
Minister SickIes is hourly in comupnica.
ton with the State Department, and his
| dispatches indicate the existence Of a very
strong feeling ag inst the United States.
The Feeling in WaslIingtOn-The Cabinet
Meeting.
Mr. Fish submitted IL number of tele
| grams from Minister Sickles TO the Cabinet
| meeting today. and the session, which has
| just commenced, will i'll all probability, be
| one of the most interesting and serious
meetings since the commencement Of the
| present complications.
| The mem DeTS o. the Cabinet this mOrniD o
seem to be very serious in their demeanor
| There appears to be more extended dis
cussion in all places. and more probabl bill
ties OF war than there has been.
! At the same time, 80 tas as has been made
| known, ehe official aGyiees from Spain have
| not varied ia ths assertions Of the honesty
, OF the CASTELAR, Soveram- nt 90 preserve

| does not seem 20 be shared in by tie gov
ernment .t i. evident by the expressed
opinion Of the Secretary OF State here that
| there Is an e1aggeratian in the unofficial
reports. and the assertions OF Mr. SickIes
that the Spanish government is able, and
has suppressed hostile indications against
the American legation at Madrid
