SPAIN MAY PROTEST.
1t is said the meeting to be held next
week is creating a great deal OF feeling
among Spanish officials. They are, it is
rumored, discussing the advisability OF
protesting against the gathering. They
will do so on the grou nd that this District
is Tie very essence of the United States.
The meetings held in other cities are in the
various States, and Of course outside the
Jurisdiction of the general government.
But the District is the home OF the Federal
government, and the claim is made that
in this way the meeting will be of a semi
official character. The friends of the
movement ouly hope that the protest viii
be made.
In this connection there was a most
important arrival in the city yesterday.
1t consisted of Don Ramon Gasset. cor
respondent and one of the four proprietors
OF FL Imparcial the great morning journal
of Madrid, and Don Texironte Gailego,
of the Heraldo Madrid, an
evening paper. They are at the hotel OF
the Spanish legation. 1t is their hope TO |
check the growing popularity of the Cuban |
cause among the American people.
III any case the Spanish people viii be
kept more accurately Informed, they be- |
lieye, of what is going on in America
Don Gasset will remain here during the |
approaching session OF Congress, IL not 4
longer. He will establish bureau for !
his paper and will have correspondents |
in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago. and |
other cities, including New Orleans and |
Key West.

also a correspondent for the paper and |
part owner, VIII establish q news bureau
