publics of Mexico, Uruguay and

to require extended notice. Spaniards
of Argentine and of Uruguay have en-
rolled as volunteers in Cuba and to-
day over 5000 of them are serving in
this island to maintain Spanish rule
and Spanish supremacy. Spaniards
in the United States and all Spanish
America have initiated a naval fund,
the subscriptions extending over three
years.

| Spaniards in Spanish-America has
taken a new form. What is deemed to
be a strong anti-Spanish feeling in the
American senate and the United States
generally has been developed by the
press in the mother country as well
as in Spanish-America 1t has led to
! calling together of Spanish merchants
in the republics of Mexico, Uruguay,
and the Argentine republic. They
have protested against what they re-
gard as
THE UNFRIENDLY UTTERANCES
of the American people and have I'M
! animously decided to cease further
purchases in the United States.
The movement was initiated in
! South America quite recently The

/ Vera Cruz have decided on similar ac-
| ton.
