TAKEN ASAN INSULT
ACTION OF THE SENATE ON CUBAN
RESOLUTIONS BITTERLY At
Tackled AT MADRID.
1T IS SAvAGELY RESENTED.
DECLARED THAT SPANISH SOIL
WILL BE DRENCHED WITH
FRUITFUL BLOOD
BEFORE THEY WOULD SUBMIT.
What Right Has America to Meddle
I'm What Is the Exclusive Com
Germ of Others.

MADRID, Feb. 29-The Correspond
encia asserts that the vote of the Unit
ed States senate on the Cuban question
has created profound sensation in
this city, adding: THE extraordinary
majority shows that the senate is en-
tirely hostile. The United States rec
ognition of the rebels is graver event
than has happened to Spain for a long
time
FL Liberal devotes an article to show
ing that nothing Is more unjust or
opposed to law than the recognition of
the rebels, who are only bands of fill
busters, and who do not represent the
Cuban people, of whom majority are
faithful to Spain. They are merely
the factions of a savage incendiary
minority, which is striving to obtain
booty by pillage. Such a minority
cannot change the power established
by nation supported by historical
rights. The article concludes with
the declaration that the presentation
of the chambers in Washington Sin
begging President Cleveland to inter-
pose his good offices in securing Cuban
independence is inconceivable. Against
such a cause Spain will not be found
wanting in vital resistance, and Span
ish soil will be drenched with the fruit
full blood of those who have never sub
mitted to the affront of any foreign
intervention
Other newspapers express themselves
in about the same terms, or demand
What right has the United States to
meddle in affairs which are the ex-
elusive concern of Spain ?''
Senior Canovas Del Castillo, president
of the Spanish council, in an interview
on the recent action of the United
States senate, said: up to the pres
ent time President Cleveland has act
ed correctly no matter what may be
said of the resolutions passed by the
United States senate
Senor SagaSta, former minister Of
Spain, said: "Spain should act with
energy and prudence. I most fear the
bad example, of Americas action and
the effect it will have upon the rebels. :
Senior Moret, foreign minister
under Segasta, said: II believe we
now find ourselves in the face of the
greatest calmity which could possibly
befall Spain"
Senor Emilio CASTELAR,, the famous
Spanish Republican, said: "The cir
cumstances are indeed most serious.
J We, of SpaiH must not do anything
to contribute to the Implication
Nearly all the members of political
parties decided to support the existing
government ministry. All of the lead
ers agree that it would be necessary to
act with great prudence and energy,
and that Spain should prepare for all
emergencies. The Epoca, commenting
upon the situation, said:
1--WE do not fear the aggressions OF
our enemies upon our coasts or upon
the coasts of Cuba. The Spanish
government will take all the necessary
measures to defend our rights in Cuba.
Spain will put down this rebellion
without needing the expressions of bad
taste uttered by the friends Of fill
buster"
Ell Heraldo, in an editorial, says:
"The irritation increases in all minds in
consequence of the vote taken in the
American senate"
The same paper in other columns
predicts large popular agitations in
Spain in consequence of the existing
trouble in Cuba, and possible complica-
tions between the Spanish government
and the United States"
