Madrid, March Gable dispatches
from the United States are increasing
the feeling of Indignation aroused
among the masses when it became
known that the United States Senate
favored recognition of the Cuban In
surgents as belligerents. The newspa-
Pers here confirm the report that a
Spanish naval squadron, consisting of
four cruisers and dispatch boat, is to
be sent to Cuba without delay. In ad-
dillon Spanish naval officers and ma
rines are to be attached to Spanish mail
boats, which are to be armed and equipped
as auxiliary cruisers.
The greatest activity is being displayed
in the government navy yards, and
every precaution is being taken by the
naval and military forces for the moss
serious eventualities.
The impartial to-day declares that
the utterances of the United States
Senate consist of an unqualified and un-
reasoning provocation, adding; aft the
desire for war was in response to fault
committed by Spain, the Senators
would be accomplishing their duty. But
no provocation has been given to The
United States and the Americans Judge
rashly of a Spanish American war
"The distasteful language of the
Senate ought not to surprise any one.
United States Senators are accustomed
to exchange gross insults without cross
ing swords or exchanging balls. These
are the towards who are seeking war,
and one awaits death with more cool
ness with a good conscience than with
pocket filled with dollars"
In conclusion the impartial counsels
the Spaniards to reserve their strength
and energies for an opportune moment.

pare the recognition of the secessionists
with the Cubans, and explaining this as
sertion, remarks: "Then America
Spain as a warm and
honest friend. Can we do the same to
the Senate and President Cleveland"

number of Italian ship owners have
offered in the events of war, to provide
Spain with steamships to be used as
privateers.
A number of students during the
afternoon assembled in front of the
with the intention of making
1 demonstration against the United
States as a result of the Senate's action
with regard to Cuba, and their intention
was to mob the United States legation.
But the authorities got wind of the af-
fair, and strong force of police was

he legation were blocked, and the stu
dents were informed that rioting would

This city is now quiet. The prompt
measures taken by the authorities to
suppress all disorders and prevent dem

the day has not been so quiet else
where in Spain and attempts at noisy
of protest against the
United State are reported from several
Joints. Barcelona has maintained
he reputation it made yesterday for TO-
nenting unfriendly demonstrations

cen kept busy patrolling the city and
gatherings ofpersons plotting
