olutions, he argued, were contrary to
our well-settled and historic policy of
non-interference in the domestic con-
Germs of other nations. The Southern
people were not for war. They had
had enough Of war. If the proper time
came they would spring to the support

Mr.. Hit closed the debate with the
general assurance that we were not

Of this assertion he read to the house
copy Of the cablegram received by

On demand of Mr. Cummings the
vote was taken by yeas and nays.

a minute the hand clapping continued.
The house then went into committee of

DIsAVOwED AT MADRID.
Spain Hastens to Apologize for the
Barcelona Riot.

WASHINGTON, March 2-The Span
ish-American situation, growing out of
the reports Of the riots in Barcelona
and other cities of Spain, was regarded
so seriously by the president that a
special meeting of the cabinet was held
last night, though the call was issued
under the guise Of dinner at Secretary
Olney's. This dinner conference lasted
until after 10 o'clock. During the din
ner, Secretary Olney produced some
very important information that had
come to him by cable. He read a letter
from Minister De LONE, the Spanish
minister, inclosing cable message he
had received from his government
This message directed the Spanish min
lister to inform the United States gov
eminent 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 protected from any harm.
Also that the Americans visiting and
residing in Spain would be made safe
from the attacks of mobS and other
riGtous assemblages. The communica-
ton from the Spanish minister is couch
ed in pleasant and friendly terms, and
reiterated on his own behalf, assurances
Of his government that no outrages
should be perpetrated upon Americans
in Spain. Secretary Olney submitted
WHICH created
profound surprise. 1t was a message
from the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, in Madrid, insiting that the
United States government disavow the
action Of the senate as a condition
precedent to continued friendly rela-
lions between the two governments.
This was something the American adj
ministration had not expected to be
confronted with, and the president and
cabinet ministers present were inclined
to excuse it to some extent upon the
basis Of the ignorance Of even Spanish
ministers of the United States and their
form Of government.
The only result Of the conference at
Secretary Olney's was practical agree
ment that the secretary Of state should
promptly respond in kindly terms to the
communication of Minister De LONE
and through him thank his government
for it's readiness to protect Americans
and American interests in Spain. The
demand for disclaimer Of the senate's
resolution will be ignored but at the
same time there is reason to assert that
the president is not regardless Of the
critical situation.
The secretary of the navy, as a meas
ure Of precaution, will take steps to
bring an efficient fleet Of war vessels
near enough together to mass them
promptly or at any point that may be
thr eatened.

PYTHIANS DETERMINED.
They Propose to Hold an Informal
Encampment In August.

IIncumpmemt IN August.
The knights of Pythias have not recovered
from their chagrin at the recommendation Of
the supreme council in the matter of the
grand encaIfpment. When the supreme Of
fcers advised that the encampment be not
sent to Minneapolis. with the accent on the
mot" the news came severe blow to
every loyal Pythian In the state. They had
all set their hearts and hopes on the national
body coming their way and it was difficult
to become reconcled to the dictum Now they
have decided they want reunion in the first
week of September anyway, and have resolved
to make an effort to secure a general en-
campment. The idea took shape last evening
In mass meeting of Pythians held in r.
of P. hall, Masonic Temple. 1t was the reg
uar meeting night of Hermon lodge, No. IS
and the usual order of affairs was conducted
Then the gathering was enlarged with the ar
rival of members of the other Pythian lodges
in town, and a joint session was forthwith
held, with a view to securing consensus of
opinion on the encampment question. George
Nj. Prince was chairman of the later meet
Ing with Adolph Reullard secretary. Speech
es were in order. and the first to express
his views was William Henry Eusts, just re-
turned from the East. He came home to
plunge both hands in the war of words and
he made pyrotechnical address. F. E.
Wheaton and others also spoke.

Scots ReOrganixe.

There was large attendance of Minneapolis
Scotchmen at the Commercial club last
night. They were fathered together to per-
petuate some form of organization which
shall take the place Of the Caledonian club,
deceased. 1t was lively meeting, and Scotch
wit flashed hot and fast before the evenings
deliberations had concluded. There was con-
siderable argument as to whether the Cal
edonian club should be continued, with some
changes in It's regulations, or whether
new organization would be formed. 1t was
finally decided to form a new club, to be

THE STRAIN LESS TENSE.
Spain,s Prompt Action Produces n
Better Feeling.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Span
ish government took steps very prompt
ly to make amends to the United States
for the outburst of mob violence at
Barcelona This action, and especially
the fact that it was taken Immediately
on news of the affair reaching the
Spanish government, and without
waiting for any suggestion from the
United States, doubtless tends greatly
to relieve the situation and prevent a
serious outcome Of the mob's attack
on our consulate The intelligence of
the disavowal by Spain reached the
state department early this morning in
a cablegram from Hannis Taylor, Unit
ed States minister at Madrid
The cablegram was dated yesterday,
and says that the minister of state has

expressed deep regret at the Barcelona
affair and has offered complete repara-
tion The dispatch added that meas
ures have been taken to accord the
United States legation protection. From
the terms of Minister Taylor's message
1t would seem that neither himself nor
United States Consul Bowen, at BARGE
Iona, had previously cabled a brief
statement of the attack upon the con-
sulate, but if so, the message could
not be obtained here for publication.
However that may be- 1t Is certain
that the Spanish minister here, Senior
De LONE, was early informed of the
trouble at home, and lost no time yes
terday in communicating to Secretary
Olney the facts, with an assurance that
his government could be relied upon
to do everything that the proprieties
required to atone for the insult offered
to our consulate. or course President
Cleveland was at once advised of the
state Of affairs in Spain, and later in
the evening Secretary Olney communi-
Gated the facts to few members of the
cabinet at his own house, where they
had gathered for dinner.
The best indications that no serious
trouble Is expected to follow this Bar
celona incident is afforded by the course
of affairs in the navy and war depart
ments, which ran along this morning
in the usual quiet and formal manner,
without the slightest sign Of prepara-
ton of ships or troops or military
stores, which might be expected If 1t
were felt that an emergency existed.
The prompt action Of the Spanish
government in so completely meeting
the demands of outraged international
etiquette no doubt is the reason for
the assumption by our government Of
this serene and forbearing attitude, and
in view Of the thoroughness of the
ly without official sanction, and Is
chargeable to irresponsible students on
a holiday, it is improbable that our gov
eminent will take no notice of the
affair beyond instructing Minister Tay-
lor to acknowledge in suitable terms
our acceptance of the Spanish dis
claimer.

ALL OUR FAULT ANYWAY.
So Says Minister De LONE Anent the
Cuban Rebellion.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Senor De LONE,
the Spanish minister, in the course of an in
terview here today, said 1.-THE rebellion in
Cuba never would have been a serious matter
at all had it not been for the interference of
the United States. 1t could never have passed
the limits of a riot had It not been for the
this country. Men have gone from this coun-
try with the assurance that the United States
would extend belligerent rights to the Cubans,
and in all probability send fleet to the Cuban
waters to support the insurgents. At no time
have the authorities in this country given the
situation In Cuba a fair investigation to ascer-
tain what the facts actually are. 1t has been
said that all Cubans are interested in the re-
bellion, but the truth Of the matter is there
are seven Cuban generals and seven hundred
Cuban officers fighting in the Spanish army in
Cuba. In fact, am sure there are more Gu

NOT DECIDED AFTER ALL.
The Park Board Rcscinds It's Expo
sitiOn Purchase.

The park board has rescinded its action
in purposing TO buy the exposition property,
and has withdrawn its bid for the same.
In a nutshell. this was the action Of the
board yesterday afternoon, after being ad-
vised on the subject by its attorney, c. j..
lockwood. In the report of his investigation
of the city's title to the property, Mr.. Rock
wood stated that while he had not yet COM
pleted the investigation, he had discovered
a possible cloud upon the title. which, in his
opinion, would warrant the refusal of the
board to purchase the property at the present
time. The cloud, Mr. lockwood thinks, is
the doubt concerning the right of the legls-
lature to grant to the city council authority
TO transfer property to a private corporation,
and that the exposition a private corpora
ton, to all intents and purposes, inasmuch as
the city had nothing to say in its Management.
