tainly make reparation, and in thu
event of his being deposed, Germany
can easily take possession of valuable
pledges and thus compel Spain to rem
| der satisfaction. TdgbLdh is of tht
opinion that the excuses of the popu
lace of Madrid were directed more
against the Spanish monarchs than
against Germany.
LeerSe7s COu 1 declares that the reSis'
nation of the Spanish Cab net is alb O
lutely necessary to atone for the insult,
offered to Germany. All papers are
confident of the ultimate success OF
Prince Bismarck.
Nord Deutsche Zeltung, Prince Bis
marck's organ, says that the govern
ment is annoyed over the anti-German
demonstration at Madrid, but will not
| Judge hastily. 1t adds that inquiries
| will probably show that the riots were
| due to q certain influence. TINS is q
yelled dig at the French. The Zeitung
also says that if Spain does not recon-
pense Germany and punish the culprits,
Germany will occupy the Caroline
Islands forthwith.
MADRID, September 6.-The Council
of Ministers, with the sanction ofKing
Alfons, has framed ana dis
patched to the German govern
ment an ultimatCm, requesting Ger
many to evacuate the Caroline Islands.
! Spain, in themeantime. will refrain
from the material occupation Of the
| islands and thus afford basis for fur
Their parlying.
The total number of arrests made
here in connection with the demonstra-
ton against Germany is 1874. The Ger
man Consulate at Valencia received the
same treatment at the hands of the
populace as the German Embassy at
Madrid. where all the windows were
smashed. At midnight procession of
40 ,00O men paraded the streets, receiv-
ing cheers everywhere, especially at
military and naval clubs. Five thousand
troops turned out to preserve order. In
creased discomfort has prevailed to-day
because government withheld the de
cisieD of the oulcil. The opinion of th
mob is that government hesitateS to
sever reia ions Wi tn Germany.
Count Benomar, Spanish ambassador
at Berlin, telegraphs that Count Won
Halzfeldt. German Foreign Minister
declares that the German gunbOat was
forbidden to hoist the German flag,
where the Spanish flag f1oated, and in
hopes that the incident will not interfere
with the negotiations or the cordiality
between the two nations as Germany
would have prevented any occupa tion
of the Carollnes If it had been possible
to communicate with German cruisers
after the receipt of the Spanish note
claiming the islands.
Count Won HAlzleldt's statement is
confirmed by Count Sonnervalde. Ger
man minister to SDaiD
BB6LIN, September 6.-Count Berro-
mar, Spanish Minister here, has ex-
pressed to government SPANS regret at
the insults offered to Germany By the
populace of Madrid and has promised
on behalf OF his government that the
leaders of the mob will be punished,
and that Spain will do her utmost to
prevent a repetition of the insult. This
statement is regarded as terminating
the incident. Rumors that have ap-
peared here from parties 10 the effect
that Spain has sent an ultimatum to
Germany. are not believed.
MADRID September 6.-Admiral Ante
guerra has been sent to the Mediterran-
can to take command of the fleet which
has been increased. All vessels are
ready for service. The government has
seized and will prosecute the Ibera,
Corral, COrrespondentio and Impartial,
Liberal papers, the Progress, Gl0bo and
six other Republican papers and four
independent journals, for publishing
articles melting an agitation and rup-
ture with Germany. Local authorities
have been ordered to act vigorously and
see that all agitation is repressed and
the ring-leaders arrested throughout the
country. Two hundred and fifty per-
sons have been arrested in Madrid, but
q majority OF them have since been lib
Grated. Many theatres and other pub
lie institutions have been closed.
BERLIN, September GA semi-officiaI
note describes the hosting of the Ger
man nag at zap as preliminary and
without prejudice to an ultimate agree
ment between Germany and S5ain.
Prince Bismarck, who is at Varzin. sig
mites no intention of leaving there. The
statement that Spain had refused TO
submit the question of the ownership of
the Caroline Islands to arbitration Is
not confirmed, nor is it believed. for the
reason that such refusal would prob |
ably result in decisive action by Ger
many for the retention of the islands. |
War IS regarded as entirely out of the |
question. The worst that can happen |
because Spain refused to apologize is |
a suspension of diplomatic relations.
ne teellng here over the Madrid in |
;ldent Is one of tranquility. No serious
result is feared, although it is admitted |
That there is an element of gravity in |
SPANS insisting on prior soyererentv |
over the Caroline Islands and the mn.
stable position OF King Alfonso.
