MADRID, March 15.-T American
minister today presented temand
for an apology and reparatiOu from

on a dispatch from Gresham in which

firing on the steamship Alliance by
Spani-h war vessel, and says the
Wiudward passage where the firing
occurred is the natural AMI usual high
way for vesseIs plying between the
ports Of the United States ana the
Carribran sea. The forcible interfer-
ence with them cannot be claimed as
beIliRerent act, and can under no
circumstances be tolerated when q
state of war exists. This government
will expect q prompt disavOwal of the
act, q due expression Of regret OH the
part of Spain and will insist that inn
mediate aud positive orders be given
to the Spanish naval commanders lot
to interfere with legitimate commerce
nor i'm any way wantOuly imperil lie
and property lawfully under the
American nag.
