IL Hon. Hannis Taylor, tho United
States minister TO Spain, had gone TO the
opera Saturday evening, he would certain
ly have had very unpleasant time Evil
dontly somo persons thought he had done
so, for they were waiting outside the
opera house after tho performance was
over and had organized a hostile demon
stration with which TO greet Mr.. Taylor
But whether no considered it unwiso to
infamo the public mind by an appearance
OF for somo other reason tho United States
minister did not attend the opera, az IL
was expected he would do ana so the hos
tile demonstration came 60 nothing. Unit
cd States Minister Taylor, In fact, spent
the evening at home.
The government has issued an order
prohibiting the various demonstrations
which have hoon planned by students.
This order iAplios as well to all similar
domonstratoins and Is takon 20 mean that
tho government does not at all approve Of
the course the popular arlor has taken
and sees in It danger Of complications and
omharrassmonts for II In its present deli
cate situation.
IL is understood that tho Spanish min
lister In Washington, Sonor Dupuy De
LONE, has been instructed TO mako dip
lomatio representations TO the United
states government
a BrNrgNrt threat.
The Imparoial says on tho crisis: "If
things reach the goal which Americans
desire, tho whole Of Spain win rise against
the United States. Neither In the Modl-
torranean, whose entrance We command,
nor in tho Atlantic, win an American
merchantmen be SAFE for we shall organ
lie privatoers on a great scale. We con-
quered Napoleon by guerilla warfare, and
we shall employ system Of priyateors to
overcome "a trading nation.
Americans are wrong TO judge Spain
by tho budget. There are things which
are superior TO revenue. Some merchant
captains have offered already to arm their
steamers as privateers. captain Of Bar
celona asks for letters OF marquo, offering
TO equip and maintain the fastest steamer
at his cost
Tho guard about the United Stntos lo-
cation, SO far as it Is seen, consists only
of few policemen, but q force Of 100 gen
darmes IS kept constantly ready in an nd-
iacent house in case Of any demonstration
being made against the legation.
In addition tho authorities have ten
dered 60 Minister Taylor q guard Of police
nt the entrance of his private residence,

The customary Sunday bull fight 90.
CURED IN the Plaza de Toros, and there
were approhensions folt lest, after the
/ fight and its accompanying excitement,
the keencst which a Spaniard knows,
there should bo demonstration organ
izod. Wish the vast thronRs of all classes
OF people who attend the bun fight, the
consequences Of the awakening of tho mob
spirit would have threatened most serious
results. Consequently every avenue to tho
Plazo de Toros was occupied by o force of
gendarmos
As it turned out, only a small knot of
people raised shouts OF "Viva Spain" and
they were quietly dispersed.
Others, however, proceeded 20 the bar
racks and the military clubs, shouting for
Spain and the army Tho police were on
the watch and prevented tho domonstra-
tions from becoming serious by dispensing
the crowds at various points and arrosting
many persons.
