New York, March GA special to the
World from Washington says it is pos
sible that President Cleve land will send
a military commission to Cuba to report
on the condition of affairs there. In
this connection it is announced that Gen
Wesley Merritt, commander of the de-
partment of the Missouri, and several
other high officials of the army have
been suddenly summoned TO Washing
ton. The World says it could not be
positively learned last night that their
mission had any reference to Cuba, but
II is known the president has implicit
confidence In Gen Merritt, and that he
would be quite likely to name him for
position of the character indicated.
Valencia, March s.-The disorders
which were prevalent here when the
news was first received of the action of
the United States senate on the Cuban
question broke out afresh today and
there were renewed demonstrations of
hostility toward the United States. The
mob made its way to the United States
consulate, which was stoned and the
windows were smashed by the infuri-
ated populace.
Washington, March 5.-The late hour
at which the reports of disorders today
in Valencia were received made 1t Inn
possible to learn whether ny official in
formation had been received here in re-
gard to the trouble. The attack will no
doubt create renewed indignation in
congressional circles, and may have the
effect of fastening action on the Cuban
resolutions when the conference report
is taken up in the senate on Monday In
| this, as fin the case of the reported
attack of the consulate at Barcelona
last Sunday, the Spanish government, it
is quite likely, will promptly express to
the United States its regret for the oc-
currence and make a complete disavowal
of it, The Spanish minister has not re-
ceived any advices concerning this lat
est disturbance.
New York, March s.-A special to the
Herald from Cadiz, Spain, says; Nu-
merous civil guards, both horse and foot,
| took up positions facing the American
consulate audloccupied the neighboring
approaches, owing to the projected stu
dents demonstration. Others we're
stationed at various centers in order to
prevent any congregation on the part OF
those engaging in the proceedings.
Later on the guards were Withdrawn
from the streets, and some were posted
inside the consulate.
The government is determined to stop
| every demonstration. The United
States consul has been received every
where with marked attention, and he ex-
pressed his extreme qualification at the
measures taken by the authorities.
Barcelona, March 5.-The universities
here at Valencia and at Granada are
closed to prevent students from making
demonstrations against the United
States. The excitement, however, has

prevailing that Great Britain and France
will support Spain against the United
States.
Madrid, March 5.-According to q
statement of FL Dia, Senior Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish Minister to Washing
ton, has telegraphed to the government
that President Cleveland will refuse, a
'ong as he is president, either to recog

: Washington, March 5.-From a SOURCE
{ the accuracy of which cannot be dis
puted, the report that Minister Dupu.
de LONE has telegraphed his govern
ment that President Cleveland will re
fuse, as long as he is president, either t
recognize the rebels, or intervene i
the Cuban question, can be safely denieC
Statements Of similar nature have here
tofore been published. The foundatio

. and portions of which have no doul
