a MYSTERIOUS OUTRAGE
The United States Has No Consulate
at ValenCia.

WASHINGTON March I, 1Sss-There is
something of an official mystery connected
with the report OF an attack on the United
States Consulate at Valencia, Spain, where
according to the records of the State Depart
ment, no such consulate exists. AS pointed
out in these dispatches yesterday the nearest
consular post to Valencia is Grso the port
of that place, four miles distant. where a
consular agent of this government who is
not even an American citizen. resides. At
the State Department, officials say that they
have seen no despatch from Minister Taylor
or any other person in the service of the
United States, reporting anything about the
attack. The Spanish Minister is likewise ON
cially ignorant.
The explanation suggested here is that some
body threw stone through a window of .he
residence of the Consular agent at Grao dur
ing demonstration against the action of the
Senate and the House with regard to Cuba
and that the incident was not considered of
report to his government The prompt action
Of the Spanish authorities in repudiating the
attack on the United States Consulate at
Barcelona and in oering to make repara ton

that every effort will be made by Spain to
protect American Interests

reply, but after moment of thought
he wrote on pad his answer, as fol-
