More Trouble in Barcelona
Madrid, March 3.-ThiS city is now
quiet, the prompt measures taken by
the authorities to suppress all dis
orders and prevent demonstrations,
and the large force Of police present
everywhere having proved to the peo-
pie that laWless acts would not be
tolerated. The large crowds of idlers
who lend themselves to every passing
excitement yesterday have not been

most of the people have gone about
their work as usual.

renewed disturbances here to-day and
demonstrations Of popular anger
against the United States government.
The students of the university seem
to have been the offenders or the
leaders in the demonstra ton. In

States consulate, which was stoned
and the windows of which were
