the recognitio" Of the Cuba"s as
belIigerenss, has stirred up = hor-
nets nest in SPAN. At barcelona
an angry mob gathered around the
United States Consulate and gave
vent to their disapproval by hnrI-
ing stones, breaking windows and
other riotous conduct. The riot
ers we're dispersed BY the police
and the Spani-h government has
promptly d,savowed the action OF
he mob, and promises full repara-
zion. But at the same time the
COVE. nment Of SPAN demands OF
our government disavowal Of the
action Of the Senate. This. III

of the resolutions. The popular
anger against the United State~
continues in spanish cities, and 1t
is said the government is preparing
