possible to learn whether a is official II
formation had been received here IN re-
gard to the trouble. The attack will nc
doubt create renewed indignation in
congressional circles, and may have the
effect of fastening action on the Cuban

this, as fin the case Of tia reported
attack of the consulate at Barcelona
last Sunday, the Spanish government, ii
Is quite likely, will promptly express TO
the United States Its regret for the oc-
currence and makea complete disavowal

ceived any advices concerning this lat
est disturbance.
New York, March 5.-A special 10 the
Herald from Cadiz, Spain, says; Nu-
merous civil guards, both horse and foot,
took up positions facing the American
consulate audioccupied the neighboring
approaches, owing to the projected stu.
dents demonstration. Others were
stationed at arious centers in order to
prevent any congregation on the part of
those engaging in the proceedings.
Later on the guards were Withdrawn
from the streets, and some were posted
inside the consulate.
The government is determined to stop
every demonstration. The United
States consul,has been received every
where with marked attention, and he ex-
pressed his extreme qualification at the
measures taken by the authorities
Barcelona, March 5.-The universities

closed to prevent students from making
demonstrations against the United

that President Cleveland will refuse, as

Washington, March s.-From a source

puted, the report that Minister Dupuy
de LONE has telegraphed his govern
ment that President Cleveland will re-
fuse, as long as he is president, either 10
recognize the rebels, or intervene in
the Cuban question, can be safely denied
Statements Of similar nature have here
tofore been published. The foundation
for the statement probably arose from
an interview with Mr.. dc LONE quite
extensively published in this country
and portions Of which have no doubt
found their way to Madrid.
