MApEID Sent IL

MADRID. Sept IL.
The agitation over the Carolines affair
throughout the country is suosidiog. The
action of Premier Conouss has alienated the
navy, thus adding to the danger OF the situa-
ton.
Ii is stated that the Spanish commander at
Manila telegraphs that when It WAS found
that the German flag had been hoisted at zap
the Governor of the Carolines visitsd the
commander Of the German gupboat and ac-
cused him of piracy and breach Of the In
terHstional law. The German commander
replied that he had simply obeyed orders;
that the argument ended in scufie, when
the German commander retired to his ship.
The governor then boarded Spanish p,an-of
war, the San Quentine, and requested the
captain to fire on the German gunboat The
captain refused, the governor of the Phil
lipines having ordered him to avoid con-
fict. Barbrilles ordered the crew to fire,
whereupoH the captain drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man who obeyed
or repeated the order. Babrilles again or
dered the men to fire, when the captain shot
him in the shoulder. Bsrbrilles was after
wards taken as prisoner to Manila, where
bis trial is proceeding. The government
formally deny that there was an alteration
on shore, but are silent in regard to what
occurred on board the ship. They admit that
Barbrilles ordered that the German gunboat
be attacked.
