SPAiN'S BLOOD is UP.
Great Excitement in Madrid Over Ger
many's Seizure of the Caroline Islands
A Mob Demolishes the German Embas-
sy, and Burns the Teutonic Coat of
Arms-Alfonso's Only Alternative Is to
Fight or Lose His Crown.
MADRID, Sept. 7.-The most intense ex-
cltement was created in the Spanish capital
Saturday by the publication of important
dispatches from the Caroline Islands. The
Spanish warships San Fuentin and Manila
reached zap, the most important of the ISL
ands, August II, and began preparations to
occupy the island in the name of Spain. Ow-
ing to the dilatorineSS of the Spanish COM
mander, several days elapsed without the
troops being landed, and on the oath of the
same month German gunboat arrived and
lost no time in hosting the German flag on
the island. The Spanish officials protested
against this movement and the warShips
cleared their decks for action, but no shots
were fired. A third Spanish vessel, the
Velastoro, arrived at zap Bay just previous
tG the sending of the dispatches.
Immediately on receipt of the news the
8 Ministers were summoned to a Cabinet
council and King Alfonso advised of the
situation. His EMajesty at once left La
Granja for Madrid. On his arrival in the
Capital the King was cheered by an inn
mense throng which had gathered at
the depot, and was escorted to the
palace along a route which was
lined with an excited and demonstrative
crowd. After the adjournment of the Cab
met council, which was presided over by the
txxyoc Il l.
had decided to dismiss by telegraph the COM
manders OF the Spanish men-of-war stationed
at zap. 1t was also officially announced that
the Government had decided that any ne
EQUATIONS respecting the outrage were inn
possible. Yesterday The council of minis
tiers, with the sanction of the King, framed
and dispatched to the German Government
an ultimatum, requesting Germany to eyac-
uate the Caroline Islands. Spain in the
meantime will refrain from material oc-
cupation of the islands, and thus afford
basis for further parleying
Among the people the widest rage and
excitement was created by the publication
OF the dispatches. A vast crowd gathered
in front of the German Embassy, and tear.
ing down the coat of arms dragged it in the
mud to the Puerto del Sol, where it was
burned amid yells of ''Down with Ger
many" and with excavations against
Bismarck. The crowd then returned to
the Embassy, and in frenzy of rage
completely Quilted the building. The
crowd had now grown so great that gen.
eral riot was feared, and the troops were
ordered out to clear the streets. As the
soldiers appeared the crowd gave way, and
the streets were soon quiet Fifty-siX
leaders OF the mob were arrested on the
spot, and the total number of arrests made
is 1874. A similar demonstration was
made against the German Consulate at
Valencia.
The belief is strong, and grows hourly
stronger, that the dispute must now end
either in war or revolution. The meeting
OF leading Liberals held Saturday made an
outspoken promise to declare war if called
again into power, and adopted resolutions
thoroughly in keeping with the present de-
mands of the excited populace.
MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE antl-German
movement appears to be genuine and popu-
lar among all classes. The royalists and
the Government organs only timidly urge
moderation, and the troops and police offered
only feeble resistance to the attack on the
German embassy. The procession which
paraded the streets after the attack received
cheers everywhere, particularly at the naval
and military clubs The prevailing opinion
is that the Government heSitates to sever
relations with Germany.
Count Benomar, the Spanish Ambassa-
dor at Berlin, teegraphs that Count Won
HatZfeldt, the German FOREIGN Minister,
declares that the German gunboat was for
hidden to hoist the German flag where the
Spanish flag foated, and hopes that the in
cident will not interfere with the negotia-
tons or cordiality between the two nations.
Admiral Antequera has been sent to the
Mediterranean to take command of the
fleet, which has been increased. AL the
vessels are ready for service
The Government has seized and will
prosecute the Iberia, Co4Teodl, Corrc-
Sp0ndefictd and Impartial, liberal papers,
besides the Progress, Globo, and six other
Republican journals, for publishing articles
melting an agitation and advocating a rup-
ture with Germany. Local authorities have
been ordered to act vigorously and see that
all agitation is repressed and the ringlead-
ers arrested throughout the country. Two
hundred and fifty persons have been ar
rested in Madrid, but the majority of them
have since been liberated. Many theaters and
other public institutions have been closed.
BERLIN, Sept THE question of who
is to own tie Caroline Islands has sunk into
insignificance since the receipt of the news
of the insult to Germany made by the Span
ish mob. 1t is regarded as certain that
Germany will hold on to the Carolines, and
also exact most humble apology from
Spain. 1t is at the same time,' felt sure
that this action will cause revolution in
Spain, ending with the overthrow of AL
Ia
the diplomatic relations between Spain and
Germany will be broken off unless
Spain affords satisfaction for the insult.
The Tdgblatt says that in the event of AL
fonso being deposed Spain can easily be
compelled to render satisfaction. Ii is of
opinion that the expressions of the Madrid
populace were directed more against the
Spanish monarchy than against Germany.
The Nord Deutsclle Zeitlt',g Prince Bis
marck's organ, says that if Spain does not
recompense Germany. and punish the cul-
prits, Germany will occupy the Carolines
forthwith.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Standard Berlin
correspondent says: ''Spain has finally
and decidedly declined to submit the Caro-
lines affair to arbitration. Spain argues
that the question of Spanish Jurisdiction
over the islands has been fact too well
known to admit of discussion. The Ger
man Government officials still scout the
idea of a war over the dispute"
BERLIN, Sept. Count Benomar, the
Spanish Minister here, has expressed to the
Government SPANS regret at the insults
offered to Germany by the populace of Mad
rid, and has promised OH behalf of his Gov
eminent that the leaders of the mob will
be punished and that Spain will do her ut
most to prevent repetition of the insult
This statement is regarded as terminating
the incident. Rumors that have reached
here by way of Paris, to the effect tina.
Spain has sent an ultimat1m to Germany,
are no. believe
