American Commerce Must
Not Be Interfered With.
IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
All Commerce Lawfully Under Our
Flag Must Not Be MIeddIed With
Prompt Action Asked.

MADRID, March 15.-The following
cablegram has been received here:
Taylor, United States minister, Madrid
This department is informed that on
the 9Th instant the United States mail
steamship Alliance, on her homeward
voyage from Colon to New York, when
six miles from the coast of Cuba, off
Cape May, was repeatedly fred upon by
a Spanish gunboat, with solid shot,
which fortunately fell short.
'tThe windward passage, where this
occurred, is the natural and usual high
way for vessels plying between ports of
the United States and Caribbean sea.
Through it several regular lines of Amer
ican mail and commercial steamers pass
weekly within sight of Cape May. They
are we'll: known and their voyage en-
braces no Cuban port of call. Forcible
interference with them cannot be claimed
as a necessary belligerant act, whether
they pass within three miles of the
Cuban coast or not, and can under no
circumstances be tolerated when no
state of war exists. This government
will expect prompt disavowal of the
authorized act and due expression of re
gret upon the part of Spain, and it must
insist that immediate and positive or
ders be given to Spanish naval COM
Handers not to interfere with legitimate
commerce passing through that channel,
and prohibiting all acts wantonly inn
periling life and property lawfully under
the flag of the United States. You will
communicate this to the minister of for
eign affairs and urge the Importance of a
prompt and satisfactory response.

Action Hasty and Ill-Advised.

spanish Minister Thinks Gresham's
Action Hasty and In-Advised.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The text of
Secretary Gresham's demand on Spain
was shown by a representative of the
Associated Press to Senior Muruaga, the
Spanish minister.
''I'm astonished," said he, "that this
course should be taken when only one
side of the story has been told, and any
action must be based on the ex parte
statement of Captain Crossman."
The minister scanned the text of the
demand forwarded to Spain, comments
ing on the severity of the language that
this government will expect a prompt
disavowal and due expression of regret
on the part of Spain, with immediate
and positive orders to Spanish naval
commanders. Senior Muruaga had re-
ceived no copy of the demand from the
state department, nor any intimation
that this step has been or would be
taken, nor had any word yet come from
the Spanish government to him. Ger
tainly there would be no reply until all
the facts are known, not alone from
Captain Crossman, but from the COM
mander of the Spanish gunboat alleged
to have done the firing. Spain will wait
until able to act intelligently on the
whole case. Spain will undoubtedly
rest upon the recognized principles of in
ternational law that a country shall
maintain. her sovereignty over waters

. He regarded the terms of the demand
surprising in asserting that interference,
with American ships cannot be claimed
as a belligerent act whether they pas
within three miles of the Cuban coast O
not. This he considered denial of th

CHICAGO, March 1.-Two hundred
angry Poles, men and women, stormed
st. Hedwig's Catholic church at North
Hoyne avenue and Kosciusko street, to-
day. Five policemen, who were on
guard, were cowed by the mob, but on
the arrival of reinforcements the rioters
were driven off.
There has been trouble in st. He'd

Barzinski was driven out three weeks

they would prevent him from serving

States made this demand then it is es-
sential that the United States take steps
to prevent the shipping of insurgent
goods intended to be used against Spain.
Already it has been established that
three yachts, the Llagonda, Baracoa and
Amadis, were loaded with insurgent
arms at Fernando, Fla. They had been
apprehended, but subsequently released.
The arms were put in the warehouse
pending attachment. When this was
settled Mr.. Borden, in charge of them,
had shipped them to unknown points.
The minister said that as this traffic WAS
going on, it was essential Spain should
protect herself or should have the pro-
lection of the United States. ~ there
fore, demand had been mafe by the
United States it would be 61portune to
consider what protection would be given
to Spain.
The state department officials today
rather expected Spain's answer would
indicate desire by the Spanish govern
ment for proper opportunity to ascer-
tain the facts before taking action in the
matter, but this, it is said, at the de-
partment. will scarcely avail in the
present case, unless the message conveys
some assurance that the Spanish govern
has instructed Its naval commanders to
refrain from further interference with
vessels flying the American flag.
A notable feature Of Secretary Gres-
hams dispatch is in the statement that
when an American vessel is on her usual
route the fact that she is inside or out
side the three-mile limit does not affect
the merits of the case. From this it is
apparent the secretary has taken his
stand on the decision of the Alabama
claims commission, which was practic-
ally new dictum in international law,
for it had been the rule previous to that
decision to regard beyond question the
right of a nation to detain suspicious
vessels passing within the limits of three
miles from its coast, over which it's
marine jurisdiction extended.
1t will undoubtedly cost Spain bitter
effort to accept the force of this doctrine,
for if the right to stop suspicious ships
in Cuban waters is denied, the task of
maintaining an effective blockade
against filibustering expeditions will be
extremely difficult, if not impossible,
without recourse to formal acknowledg-
ment of the belligerency of the insur-
gents.
1t is fully expected in view of the
prompt action of the Spanish minister
here that if Spain were wrong she would
make all proper .reparation, and that the
incident will be speedily and peacefully
settled.
If, however, the Spanish government
should be stung by the urgency shown
by the United States and refuse to meet
our demands, Minister Taylor may de-
mands his passports, and unless cooler
counsels may be coming from some dis
interested and friendly nation, ugly com.
plications may result, ending in the
presence of a considerable feet oi
United States naval vessels in Cuban
waters to protect our shipping.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Politicians from
all parts of the country are registered at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel. Most of them
claim that their visit has no political sig
nihcance, and yet conferences between
prominent leaders were not infrequent to-
day. Conspicuous in the lobby were ex-

York. Joseph II. Manley of Maine Charles
w. Haekett of Utica. Senator-elect Hobart
Krum of New York. and ex-Mayor Oliver
OF Pittsburg.
Senator Burrows. when asked his opin-
ion in regard to Republican presidential
candidates. said: 1.-THE woods are full of
able Republican candidates. L only wish 1t
was so We could elect fifteen Presidents at
cnce in order to crafty the ambition of
every one. A four-year term will not per-
nit every one to serve as President" The
Senator then. referring to the Democratic
party, saiq that he thought President Cleve-
land would be renominated.
What about the recognition of the bell
ligerents In Cuba; will it be done by Con-
gress?"
''It may be done; and IL so, 1t will give
the struggling Cubans some advantage
But, on the other hand, IL Will make this
government responsible TO Spain for all
damage done to Spanish commerce by ves-
sells fitted out here. Resolutions of sympa-
thy may be passed. But one thing l be-
lieve will be done, and that is a declaration
by Congress upholding the Monroe doctrine.

on by Congress, but II Is not too late

cidediy in favor OF recognizing the strug-
Cling Cubans as soon as possible. He said

that the patriots there be recognized as

people struggling for independence
Ex-Presicent Harrison received a number
of callers, among them William Brookfield,
commissioner of public works. He will re-
main several days longer.
Senator Sherman said that he was here
entirely on private business and that he
would attend to political matters when he
returned to Washington. When asked
about Cuban affairs he said that he had
nothing to say, that such matters as Cuba,
Venezuela and the Waller case We're too
grave TO be discussed at this time. He said
that his relations with Mr.. Platt were not
unfriendly, that any opinions that he might
have expressed in regard to the conduct
OF Mr.. Platt were fair and honest, and that
he had no grievance against Mr.. Platt.
