MADRID, Sept. dispatches have Just
been received regarding the German oc-
cupation of zap, state the Spanlards on
the Islands had hoisted the Spanish flag
and had lowered it at sunset for the
night, as is customary with all nationall.
ties, and that at once afterwards the Ger
man gunboat ran in and landed her ma
rines and sailors, hoistcd the German
colors and formally occupied the place.
despite the protestatlons of the Span
iards.
Prince Bismarck has offered TO with.
draw the German forces from zap. pro.
vlded Spain will not occupy II pending a
diplomatic solution Of the question as TO
Spain's claim over the island.
Germany win acknowledge the Spanish
occupation of zap provided Spain proves

THE SITUATION in MApnIp.

MADRID, Sept. I. The police and
troops showed by their good humor on
saturday that they sympathlzed with the
rioters. Government and Royalst or
gans only timidly urge moderation The
anti-Gcrman movement is genuine and
popular among all classes. The police
offered feeble resistance to the attacks on
the German embassy, where all the win
dows We're smashed. At midnight pro-
cession of 10000 paraded the streets,
giving cheers everywhere, especially ut
the military and naval clubs. Five thou
sand troops turned out TO preserve order.
Increased discomfort has prevailed to-
day, because the government withheld the
decision of the council. The opinion of
the mob Is that the government hesitates
to sever relations with the German court.
Bcnoman, Spanish ambassador at Ber-
lin, wires that Count Won llatzfeldt, Ger
foreign minister, declares the German
gunboat was forbidden to hoist the Ger
man flag where the Spanish flag iioated,
and hopes the incident will not interfere
with the negotiations or cordially be-
tween the two nations, as Germany would
have prevented any occupation of the
Caroline Islands if it had been possible
TO communicate with the German cruisers
after the receipt of the Spanish note
claiming the islands.
Count Won IlatZfeldt's statement is
confirmed by Count Won Sulmes Some
waldo, German minister to Spain,
Count Won Ilatzfcldt, in his statement
to Count Benoman regarding the orders
that had been given TO the German gun
boat, meant that the gunboat had been
forbidden to hoist the German flag where
the Spanish flag had already been hoistcd
He said the diSobediencc of the com
mander of the gunboat would not affect
the situation.
MADRID, Sept. Admiral AntegueoyH
has been sent to the Mediterranean TO
take command of the feet, which has
been increased. ALI vessels are ready
for service. The government has seized
and will prosecute the Iberia Corroo
Correspondence aud Imparciale, Liberal
papers, and the Progress, Globo and six
other Republican papers, and four INDIE
pendent journals for publishing articles
melting agitation and advocating a rup-
ture with Germany The local authori-
ties have been ordered 10 see that all
agitation is suppressed, and the ring
leaders arrested throughout the country.
Two hundred and fifty persons have been
arrested In Madrid, but the majority Of
them has since been liberated. Many
theaters and other public institutions
have been closed.
