| Attack On the Embassy-The Ineidens
Regarded at Berlin as Ended-Tb0
Eud of the Trouble stin Uncertain.
BERLIN, Sept. 6.--The Eoyd Deatscha
Zetiaag, Prince Bismarck's organ, says
that the government Is annoyed over the
anti-German demonstration at Madrid,
but will not judge hastily. IL adds that
Inquiries will probably show that the
riots We're due to certain influences. This
is hardly yelled dig at the French. The
Iettlmg also says that # Spain does not
recompense Germany and punish the oul-
prits Germany will occupy the Caroline
islands forthwith.
Tho National Zeitung thinks that dipIo~
matte relations between Germany and
Spain will be broken of unless spain az.
tords satisfaction for the Madrid affair.
GERMANY's COURSE.
The 7dgebidu says that If King Alfonso
retains his sovereignty Spain will certain-
lY make reparatiOn, and in the event OF
| his being depOsed Germany can easily
take possession of valuable pledges and
thus compel spain to render satisfaction.
The Idge6tdu is of the opinion that tho
exoesses were directed more against
| Spanish monarchy than against Ger
many.
The B0ersen Courier declares that the
resignation OF the Spanish Cabinet Is alb
s0lutely necessary to atone for the insults
offered to Germany. All the papers aro
confident OF the ultimate success Of Prince
Bismarck.
ONLY A PRELIMINARY.
A semi-offcial notice describes the
h0lsting OF the German flag at Zap as a
preliminary and without prejudice to an
ultimate agreement between Germany
and Spain. Prince Bismarck, who Is at
| Varzins, signifies no intention Of laav-
| Ing there. The statement That
| Spain had refused to sub
init the question Of the ownership
OF the Caroline islands to arbitration Is
| not confirmed nor Is il believed, for the
reason that such refusal would probably
result In decisive action by Germany for
the retention OF the islands. War is re-.
garded as entirely out of the question.
| The worst that can happen, in case
| spain refuses to apologize is a sus~
pension Of diplomatic relations.
ALFONSO WILL APOLOGIZE.
Count Benomar, the Spanish Minister
here, has expressed TO the govern
ment Spain's regret vt the insult offered
to Germany by the populace Of Madride
and has promised on behalf Of his goyern-
meut that the leaders Of the mob will be
! punished, and that Spain will do her ut
most to prevent a repetition OF the insult.

the incident.
The feeling here over the incident is one
| oftrRnquillity. No serious result4s feared.
although IL is admitted that there is an
element of gravity in Spain's insistance
on the power OF sovereignty over tha
| Caroline Islands In the unstable position
of King Alfonso.
AN ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY.
MADRID, Sept. 6.-The Council of Min
| fatara tsffh fha aau0tfop IA Kfuu Aifouaa
has framed and dispatched to the German
| Government an ultimatum requesting
! Germany 30 eyacuate the Caroline
islands. Spain In the meantime viii
refrain from material occupation OF the
islands and thus afford the basis for fur
ther parley ing. The total number Of
arrests made here In connection with the
demonstration against Germany Is 1874.
| The German consulate at Valencia re-
ceived the same treatment at the hands Of
the populace as the German embassy az
Madrid
SYMPATHY FOR THE MOB.
The police and troops showed by their
| good humor yesterday that they sympa-
/ thzed with theNrioters. The government
| and RoyaIist organs only timidly urged
moderation. The antI-German m0ve-
ment is genuine, and popular among
all classes. The police yesterday offered
| feeble resistance to the attacks on the
German Embassy, where all the windows
were smashed. At midnight procession
OF 10000 men paraded the streets, reoeiv-
| Ing cheers everywhere, especially at the
military and naval clubs. Five thousand
troops turned out TO preserve order.
INcREAsED DIscoNTEET.
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
10 seYenIreiations with Germany.
Count Benomar, the spanish Ambassa-
dor at Berlin, telegraphs that Count Won
| Halzfeldt, the German Foreign Ministe's
declares that the German Runboat was
forbidden TO hoist the German flag where
the Spanish flag aoated, and hopes
that the incident Will not
| interfere with the regulations
or the c0rdiality between the two nations,
as Germany would have prevented any
occupation OF the Caroines If it had been
/ possible 10 communicate with the Ger
man cruisers after the receipt OF the.
! Spanish note claiming the islands. Count
/ Won Hatzfeldts statement il confirmed
/ by Count Won sOms SOnnenwald, tho
German Minister TO spain.
SPANS NAVAL PREPARATIONS.
Admiral Antequera has been sent 10

ernment has seized and will prosecute

gres0 Gi0bO and six other Republican

The local authorities have been ordered 90
act vigorously aud see that all agitation
