NEW YORK, N. Y, March "A Jour
nal special from Washington says; The.
Spanish-American situation growing out
of the reports of the riots in Barcelona and
other cities in Spain was regarded as so
serious by the President that he decided
to convene special meeting of the Cab
met Sunday night, though the call was
issued under the guise of dinner at Sec
retary Olney's. The cable reports of the
hostile demonstrations in Spain yesterday
against the United States created intense
excitement in Washington.
Secretary Olney was promptly advised
of the outbreaks in Madrid, Barcelona and
other places in Spain by Minister Taylor
and the American consuls He fastened
to the White House and laid before the
President all the dispatches he had re-
ceived.
Secretary Herbert was sent for and con-
suited with regard to the prompt dis
patches of naval vessels o the Gulf coast
in the event such step sh ould become
necessary. The Secretary replied that:the
Government has effective ships ready for
active service sufficient to any purpose of
emergency.
Secretary Olney was directed by the
President to cable Immediately to Mini ster
Taylor for further details. Secretary Oh
ney suggested that the President come TO
his residence at 1880 o'clock for dinner,
and he would invite the members of the
Cabinet to meet there, and around the
table the entire subject could be thor
oughly canvassed. This plan was carried
out and the imp ortant conference took
place last evening.
The dinner conference lasted until after
10 o'clock. During the dinner Secretary
Olney read letter from Minister de Lome
the Spanish Minister. inclosing cable
message he had received from his Govern
ment. This message directed the Spanish
Minister to inform the United States Gov
ernment that Spain was exerting all her
power to amply protect the United States
legation and consulates, and that he could
give assurances that they would be pro-
tected from any harm. Also that Ameri-
cans visiting or residing in Spain would be
made safe from the attacks of mobs and
other riotous assem- blages.
Secretary Olney submitted another COM
munication, which created profound sur
prise. 1t was message from the Spanish
Minister OF Foreign Affairs in Madrid, in
slsting that the United States Government
disavow the action of the Senate as con-
dition precedent to friendly relations be-
tween the two Governments.
OF course, this ultim atum Of the Spanish
Minister is regarded as absurd. The only
result of the conference at Secretary Oh
ney's was practical agreement that the
Secretary of State should promptly re-
spond in kindly terms to the communica-
ton of Minister de LONE, and through
him thank his Government for it's readi-.
ness to protect Americans and American
interests in Spain. The foolish demand
for disclaimer of the Senate's resolution
will be ignored

precautionary measure against any posi-
BILE 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 lega-
ton. The Spanish newspapers have pub
lished only carefully worded abstracts OF
the purport of the Senate resolutions, but
publications in Paris and elsewhere have
given a sufficiently full statement of the
feelings of the United States Congress in
the matter to cause anxiety and precau-
ton.
1t is recalled that twice previously for
eign legations have been attacked in Mad
rid. In 1871 the residence of the Papal
nuncio was assailed. and in 1885 the Ger
man legation was attacked on account of
the Caroline Islands dispute.
It is matter of history that a good
many years ago the Spanish Consulate in
New Orleans was attacked by mob and
the United States made prompt apology
and reparation to Spain for this insult to
its flag. 1t is to prevent any such occur
renee against the United States in Madrid
that the precautions of the Spanish Gov
eminent have been taken.
Minister Hannis Taylor, though devot-
ing 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 compels him, is not per-
sonaily 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
measure of abundant precaution by the
Spanish Government at its own instiga-
ton, and partly in recognition of the vigi-
lance displayed by the United States in the
seizure of the supposed filibustering
steamer Bermuda.
No advices have been received at the
Spanish legation here to indicate any seri-
Gus danger. Minister de Lone says he has
abiding faith in the good common-sense of
the American people and that he feels GER
tain nothing will happen to interrupt the
friendly relations existing between Spain
and the United States.

SINKING OF THE AILsA.

La BomrDogne's Comnsan der Denies That
He Deserted the Wrecked Vessel.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March with a
plate fifteen feet long and four feet wide
upon her starboard bow cracked across
from her collision with the Ailsa yester-
day the French passenger steamer La
Bourgogne was towed into pier AZ, North
River, at 6 o'clock this morning. Her
cabin and steerage passengers at once took
shore leave and the work of repairing the
damage was rushed.
A plate of the same size as the damaged
one has been bolted over the crack. This
will give it double thickness of plating
at this point, which is just over the col
lision bulkhead. La Bourgogne will sail
tomorrow morning at o'clock.
Captain Pirrott has nothing to say of the
accident other than to bitterly deny that
La Bourgogne steamed away, leaving the
passengers of the Ailsa to their fate with
out an effort to help them. The screws of
his ship, he says, were reversed and going
at full speed when the collision occurred.
This motion naturally tore La Bourgogne
from the cash in the Ailsa's side. The
boats drifted apart and the fog shut them
from each others sight He did not know
whether or not the Ailsa was anchored or
proceeding under steam. AS soon as pos
sible, he said, whaleboat was lowered
and searched for the missing steamer, but
could not find her. The hunt was not
abandoned for some time.
Thomas III. Barrett, one of the board of
local steamboat inspectors, has inspected
the vessel and says that she is as tight as
8 rivet.

SUMMONED TO ARMS.
Spain's Army Reserve to Be Called
Into Readiness.

NEW YORK, n. Y, March "A special
cable dispatch to the Sun from London
says: Spain has interpreted Fridays de-
bate and vote in the United States Senate
as threat of war.
The Spanish Government so understands
it, but the Spanish people have united in
great national insult to the United States.
The press throughout the country de-
nounces the action of the American Sem
ate in the strongest terms. Many papers
are clamoring for war against the republic.
The most significant feature of yester-
days and to-day's uprisings is the fact
that tire Republicans, who are now very
strong party in Spain, took as active
part as any. The Republican party's
policy regarding Cuba has been in favor of
stopping the war and granting Cuba home
rule.
The mob at Barcelona was led by four
leading Republicans. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the attitude of the United States
is resented by Spain.

night indicate that the Government will

ton showed far greater popular feeling
against the United States than has ever
been manifested in favor of the subjuga-
ton of the rebellion in Cuba.
The tone of the comments OF the London
newspapers this morning is the same as it
has been for a month past. They are un-
able to condemn the United States, espe-
cially if it acts on the ground of humanity.
But their sympathy is with Spain.
Most of the writers admit that there is
grave reason to believe that General Wey-
Ier's policy has been cruel. inhuman and
indefensible. All warn Spain of the hope
lessness of war with the United States.
The Daily Chronicle is the least preiu-
diced of the London papers, most of which
are unable to disguise their fears that
Cuba is about to fall into the hands of the
United States. The Chronicle says:
THAT the United States consulate at
Barcelona was stoned by mob is scarcely
factor in the international situation,
seeing that the police did their best to
save it.
"But Spain may have learned wisdom
about Cuba through these repeated
troubles, and she cannot afford to hold out
forever against the public opinion of the
Western world. She must rememb Der what
she lost by too rigid adherence to mere
rights of occupation.
"Cuba is one of the few relics of her
once grand empire of the West. Will she
throw that away too, through mere mar
row -mindedness?
"If it comes to naval struggle the
United States will simply wipe Spain off
the seas"
The Telegraph significantly calls atten-
tion to the fact that General Weyler is
German-as much as to say that this ac-
counts for his crue1ties

THE new YORK FL0hTEO.
Assisted by Powerful Tugs the
Stranded Liner Gains Deep
Water.
High Tide and a Heavy Swell Aid
in Extricating the Vessel From
Its Position.

NEW YORK, N. Y. March 1.-The
American line steamer New York, which
went ashore at the Quickstep bell buoy,
near Swinburne Island in the lower bay
during the dense fog which prevailed yes
terday, came off with the assistance of six
tugs at 80 o'clock this morning.
Health Officer Doty visited the steamer
to inspect the steerage passengers, While
this inspection was going on the transfer
boat John Moore was receiving the passen-
gers to take them to Ellis Island. Before
the inspection was completed the New
York foated, at 80 A. NJ, and proceeded
up the bay.
The stevedores worked all night on the
vessel, discharging 100 pieces of cargo
into three lighters. About 100 pieces are
still in the steamers hold. The tugs COM
menced work on the vessel at high water
last evening, and succeeded in moving her
about fifty feet, pulling her head out
toward the channel.
This morning, at o'clock, every effort
was made by the tugs, and the New York
worked both screws with all her power.
The New York keeled suddenly to port,
and fioated in deep water at $3.50. The
tide was an unusually high one, and the
ship was assisted by the heavy easterly
swell which constantly swept in from the
ocean, moving the vessel perceptibly.
The New York arrived at her dock at 10
o'clock this morning. She has sustained
no damage whatever. and will sail on
Wednesday morning. The company at
taches no blame to any one for the acci-
dent, and Captain Grant will command
her on her outward voyage.

CAST UP BY THE WAVES.
Body of Man Who Had Been Brutdhy
Murdered Found on the Beach
nj cbirono

at Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 1.-Upon the
beach of the lake at the foot of Fifty-frst
street, just back of the Chicago Beach
Hotel, was found to-day the body of a
man in condition which makes it almost
certain that most brutal and horrible
murder was committed. Early this morn
ing one of the women guests notified the
hotel clerks that on the beach opposite
her window lay corpse in a nude condi-
ton.
The body showed marks of butchery.
The head was battered beyond recognition
and bears evidence of having been
chopped with an ak or hatchet. In the
right leg below the knee is a bullet wound,
showing that the man had been shot.
The only article of clothes found was a
linen shirt of fine texture, which hung by
the wrists to the body. In the wristbands
were two solid gold sleeve-buttons. The
hands of the murdered man are soft and
unusually small, showing that he was not
manual Iaborer.
AS soon as the discovery was made the
police were notified and the corpse was re-
moved to the Hyde Park Morgue. A
number of detectives have been set to
work to unravel the mystery. The hotel
people say they are quite sure that none
of their guests have met with foul play,
and say the body must have been thrown
into the lake at some other point.
