Madrid special: The following cable
gram has been received here:
"Taylor, Minister to Madrid: This de-
partment has been informed that on the
Sth inst. the United States mail steamship
ALBANIA. on homeward voyage from Colon
TO New York, when six miles from the
coast Of Cuba, off Cape MaySi. was repeat
edly fired upon by a Spanish gunboat with
solid shot, which fortunately fell short.
The Windward passage where this occurred
is in the natural and usual highway for
vessels plying between the ports OF the
United States and the Caribbean seas.
Through it several lines of American
mail and commercial steamers pass
weekly within sight of Cape Maysi. They
are well known and their voyage
embraces no Cuban port of call. F0rcible
Interference with them cannot but be
claimed as 4 belligercnt 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 dis
avOwal of an unauthorized act and due eX-
preston of regret and that orders be given
the Spanish naval commanders not to i'll
terfere with legitimate marine
passing through that channel, and prohib-
ting of all acts wantOnly imperiling life
and property lawfully under the flag of the
United States. You will communicate
this to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
urge the importance of a prompt and salts
tactO-y response. Gresham"
