ExULTANT CUBANS

Only Awaiting the According of Belligers
emit Rights-To Begin a Vigorous War on
Spain-Entirely Confident OF Their Abii-
ity to Crush the Spanish Amy in Cuba
and Secure the Independence of Their
Dowutrodden People.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-The fact
came out in Philadelphia yesterday
afternoon that the Cuban party has all
its plans prepared for a vigorous pros
ecuton OF the war against Spain imme-
diately on the according to the patriots
of beiiigerent rights by this country.
The CubanS do not expect recogni-
ton OF their independence at the pres
ent stage OF the struggle for freedoms;
indeed. they are candid in saying they
can get along very well withou5 such
recognition. They declare they have
ample funds for securing such supplies
as will enable them to end the strus-
gle within the next six months.
They are entirely confident that
belligerency will be given in the next
few days, and they are arranging now
for an immense mass meeting 20 be
held in this city tonight, when they
VII SldJS W tHc NpIlu pLGItiN anu
frankly what they desire for Cuba and
what is the present condition OF their
affairs.
The first thing that will happen
after belligerency is accorded" said
Marcos Morales, one of the Cuban
leaders, will be the departure of Gu
bans from this country for the battle
ground. OF the 5000 Cubans here
who are able to1bear arms, there will
not be 5000 remaining out of gunshot
reach Of the Spanish forces.
They go to give Spanish tyranny its
death blow. We will instantly pur-
chase vessels, for We have ali the
money we require. and we ask no IA
vors from anyone. We have att our
command all means requisite to OBJ
tain arms and ammunition. The YES
sells we buy will be such as are espe-
ciaily suited to the safe ~transporta-
ton of arms and men to the island.
The war, of course, will still be car
ried on by land mainly.
There is no need for us to fight
Spain at sea. If our cruisers happen
to meet Spanish ships that cannot be
evaded, they will have to fight, that's
all"

THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT
Fakes Measures to Protect the United
States Legation in Madrid.

WASHINGTON, March THE state
department has been officially advised
that the Spanish government, as L
precautionary measure againt any pos
sible outbreak of violence arising from
the excited feeling of the people of
Madrid in regard to the reported
action of the United States senate on
Cuban affairs, has taken measures TO
guard the United States legation.
The newspapers have published OILY
carefUlly-worded abstracts OF the par
port OF the senate resolutions. bat pub
lications in Paris and elsewhere have
given 4 sufficiently full statement of
the feelings of the United States CON
greSS on tIe matter to cause ANXIETY
and precautioI.
1t is recalled that twice previously
foreign legations have been attacked
in Madrid. In 1871 the residence of
the papal nuncio was assailed and in
1855 the German legation IA attacked
ON account of the Caroline islands dis
pute.
1t is recalled, also. as 4 matterof his
tory, that the Spanish consulate in
New Orleans was attacked by Il mcb,
and the United States made prompt
apology and PREPARATION 10 Spain for
3his insult to its flag. 1t is to prevent
any such occurrence against the
United States legation in Madrid that
the precautions of the Spanish govern
men have been taken.
Minister Ilaanis Taylor, though de-
voting most of his time to historical
studies and taking little part in the
diplomatic life of the Spanish capital,
except SO far as urgent business COM
pels him, IS not personally unpopular
in Madrid. The course taken by the
Spanish ministry in placing a guard
over the United States legation has
not been adopted at his request, but
as a measure of abundant precaution
by the Spanish government at its own
instigatiOn, and partly in recognition
of the vigilance displayed by the United
States in the seizure of the supposed
tilibustering steamer Bermuda.
No advices have been received at the
Spanish legation here TO indicate any
serious danger. Minister de LONE
says he has abiding faith in the good
common sense of the American people,
and hat he feels certain nothing will
happen to interrupt the friendly rela-
ton existing between Spain and the
United States.

BARCELONA, March 2.-As the news

and listened to imprisoned speeches
from excited orators, until they be-

The mob was charged and dispersed
