MADRID, March 5.-The disorders which
were prevalent throughout Spain when the
news was first received of the action Of the
United States Senate on the Cuban ques-
ton broke out afresh at Valencia to-day,
and there were renewed demonstrations of
hostility to the United States. The mob
made it's way to the United States con-
sulate, which was stoned. and the windows
of which were smashed by the infuriated
populace The University at Valencia has
been closed under orders from the govern
ment. as IT was feared the students meet
ings would be hotbed for breeding dis
orders. But this measure proved unavail-
ing. and the police were kept busy dispers-
ing students gatherings nearly all day.
Several attempts were made by disorderly
paraders to make their way to the United
States consulate. but they were frustrated.
as the authorities had received orders to
be on the lookout for any demonstration
against the property of the United States.
Special protection was afforded the build
Gated with a view to the same end. The
mob gathered before the building before
the police were aware Of what was occur
ring, and stones began to fly from the
crowd. with the result that windows were
broken. The crowd was cheered on by,
sympathizers in the streets and from the
neighboring houses. The police lost no time
in charging the rioters, and the mob was
speedily dispersed. the missiles being flung
almost while those who threw them were
taking flight There was no violence in
dulged in other parts of the city. the
demonstrations being confined to noisy
clamor. cries of derision against the United

out the kingdom we're closed to-day.
1t is stated here that several English ship
owners have offered the government to equip
privateers on their own account in case of
war between Spain and the United States.
The government has decided to purchase two
additional cruisers.
There is a strong belief prevailing that
Great Britain and France will support Spain
against the United States.
According to a statement in El Dia, Senor
Dupuy De Lone. the Spanish minister to
Washington, has telegraphed 20 the govern
ment that President Cleveland viii refuse
as long as he is President either to recognize
the rebels or intervene in the Cuban question.
May Influence Congress.
WARRINGTON, March 5.-The late hour
Valencia were received made il imposs Die
to learn whether any official information
had been received here in regard to the
trouble at Valencia. The attack will no
doubt create renewed indignation in con-
gressional circles, and may have the effect
of Fastening action on the Cuban resolutions
when the conference report is taken up in
the Senate on Monday. In this, as in the
case Of the attack on the consulate at Bar
celona. last Sunday. the Spanish govern
ment. 1t Is quite likely, will promptly express
to the United States its regret for the occur
renee and make complete disavowal of it.
The Spanish minister has not received any
advices concerning this latest disturbance.
From a source. the accuracy of which
cannot be questioned. the report that Min
lister Uupuy De LONE has telegraphed his gov
ernment that President Cleveland will refuse
as long as he is President either to recognize
the rebels or intervene In the Cuban ques-
ton. be safely denied. Statements of a
similar nature have heretofore been pub
lshed. The foundation for the statement
probably arose from an interview with MIN
lister De LONE. quite extensively published in
this country. and portions Of which have no
doubt found their way to Madrid.
