Madrid, May 1l.-These He evidences
of growing popular excltrfnent III span
over the attitude Of tho tnited STATES gov
| ernmeDt toward the question of the Ill
busters captured on board the Competl
| tor. The riots and outbreaks of popular
hatred toward the United States at the
time Of the passage through congress OF
the resolution favoring the recognition OF
the Cubans as belligerents have not been
forgotten. and the sentiments which
caused them are but smoldering. The
Spanish government has. on all possible
occasions, expressed Its appreciation of
and satisfaction with the efforts made by
the United States government to prevent.
as far as lay in its power, the giving of
unlawful aid to the Cuban insurgent citi-
Zens OF the United States. But the wide
spread sympathy felt for the insurgents
in the United States Is well recognized by
the Spanish people, and the news OF ex-
petitions from the United States landed
from time TO time in Cuba creates intense
irritation.
The news of the capture of the men on
the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing. 1t was felt to
be the first opportunity that had been
offered TO make an example OF those en-
gagged In feeding the lnsIlrrection. The
popular clamor for the execution is gen
crll. and is likely TO become voclferous.
Little account is taken of the refined
questions Of treaty Interpretation involved
In the protest of the United States gov
ernment against the execution of the SEN
tences. The action of the United States is
regarded rather AZ an expression of SYM
pathy with the insurrcction and there will
be strong popular clamOr 10 disregard it.
The Epoca. the government organ, in
guarded language, recommends prudence
and deprecatcs demonstrations. II clearly
intinates that the government will make
another effort to conciliate President
Cleveland by ordering General Weyler to
send all the papers bearing upon the case
here for the supreme court TO pronounce
upon. The execution OF the sentences
would thus virtually be shelved.
The rest of the Madrid press are unani-
nous in the opinori that America has
taken an ungenerous and unjustiiiable ad-
vantage of Spain's difficulties.
