THE PoPuLAcE EXCITED.

epaniards Ready to Avsngs the 'Insult'
OF the United States ssnats.
MADRID, March 2.-H one may judge
by the things that have been said and
some Of the things that have been done
during the day the Spanish people are
enthusiastically determined to go to
war forthwith with the United States,
and to speedily avenge the insult
which, it is fancied, has been offered
to the naughty pride Of Spain by the
United States senate. Some Of the or.
gans Of public opinion declare that the
bankruptcy Of the Spanish government
would not prevent the Spanish people
from taking up the quarrel on their
own account and fitting ont expedi-
tions and maintaining themselves at
their own expense while combating
the insolence Of the United States.
The Spanish authorities seem to have
felt apprehensions Of the form the
peoples wrath might take and provid.
ed special safeguards for the suppress
sion Of disorders and especially for the
protection Of any official representa-
tive Of the United States government.
Some Wsrliks Preparations.
The preparations Of, the government
are not all Of . peaceful character,
however. It is significant that the
minister of marine, Admiral Jose Maria
Beranger, hass issued orders for the
training squadron to be prepared to
sail. It 10 regarded - probable that
this squadron will proceed shortly to
Cuba.
Il has also been ordered that all other
warships available be forthwith armed
and equipped and put into condition
for active service. In addition to this,
about 81 merchant steamers, available
for the government service, will be
provided with naval armament.
For the military branch Of the serv-
Zoe 3 fresh expedition Of 70. 600 infantry
and 5000 cavalry will be equipped and
put on . war footing and will be kept
In readiness to leave on the shortest
notice. In view Of the excited state Of
the public mind the United states lega-
tion in this city has been placed under
tho special surveillance Of tho police.

The uneasy intelligence is wired
from Boston that Pearson's comet,
the latest discovery in this line, is ad.
vanoing toward the earth at the prod.
igious pace of 100000 miles day,
and unless it sees fit to change its
course it may make close compact
with the earth upon which we live
some time during Saturday, March
IA. An emergency of this nature
would interfere seriously with spring
gardening and the coming Presiden.
tial Convention, but we may find
cause for congratulation over the fact
that the North Pole was discovered
and the great prize fight "pulled off"
before we we're disseminated and
scattered broadcast into the realms of
