Aroused in Spain.
LONDON, March 3.-The Pail Mall
Gazette has dispatch from Madrid
which says:
although Spain recognizes the alb
solute independence of the American
senators, without admitting the possi-
bility of Intervention, the premier in.
tends to point out to the American
government the injustice of some Of the
language of the senators. He also pro.
poses to point out the righteousness of
the pretensions of the Cuban rebels,
whose savage acts, it is claimed, merit
the condemnation of civilized nations.
For them to be considered on an equal
footing with the Spanish troops, and
to grant such men belligerent rights is
considered i'll some quarters to be sim
ply pretext for a quarrel with Spain.
The government, in any case. is pre-
pairing for all eventualities The pat.
riotism OF the nation has been com.
pletely aroused, and the authorities and
press counsel prudence. At the same

THE POPULACE EXCITED.
Span ards Ready to Avenge the "Insult"
Of the United States Senate.

Span ards Ready to Avenge the 'Insult"
of The United States se"ate.
MADRID, March 3.-If one may Judge
by the things that have been said and
some of the things thathave been done
during the day the Spanish people are
enthusiastically determined to 60 to
war forthwith with the United States,
and to speedily avenge the insult
which, it is fancied, has been offered
to the naughty pride Of Spain by the
United States senate. Some Of the Or
gans of public opinion declare that the
bankruptcy Of the Spanish government
would not prevent the Spanish people
from taking up the quarrel on their
own account and fitting out expedi-
tions and maintaining themselves at
their own expense while combating
the insolence of the United States.
The Spanish authorities seem to have
felt apprehensions of the form the
peoples wrath might take and proviu.
ed special safeguards for the snppres-
sion of disorders and especially for the
protection of any offic al representa-
tive of the United States government.
Some Warlike Preparations.
The preparations of the government
are not all of peaceful character,
however. 1t is significant that the
minister of marine, Admiral Jose Maria
Beranger, hass issued orders for the
training squadron to lie prepared to
sail. 1t is regarded as probable that
this squadron will proceed shortly to
Cuba.
1t has also been ordered that all other
warships available be forthwith armed
and equipped and put into condition
for active service. In addition to this,
about o. merchant steamers, available
for the government service, will be
provided with naval armament.
For the military branch of the serv-
ice fresh expedition of 20, 600 infantry
and 5000 cavalry vii be equipped and
put on war footing and will be kept
i'll readiness to leave on the shortest
notice. In view of the excited state of
the public mind the United states lega-
ton in this city has been placed under
the special surveillance OF the police.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-03-03

he could give assurances that they
would be protected from any harm.
Also that the Ame~icans visiting and
residing i'll Spain would be made safe
from the attacks of mobs and other
riotous assemblages. The communica-
ton from the Spanish minister is
couched in pleasant and friendly terms,
and reiterated on his own behalf assur-
ances of his government that no out
RACES should be perpetrated upon Amer
leans in Spain.
Secretary Olney submitted another
communication, which created profound
surprise. 1t was message from the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs in
Madrid, insisting that the United States
government
Hisavow the Action of the senate
as a condition precedent to continued
friendly relations between the two gov
ernments. This was something the
American administration had not ex.
pected to be confronted with. and the
president and cabinet ministers present
were inclined to excuse it to some ex-
tent upon the basis of the ignorance of
States and their form Of government.
The only result Of the conference at
Secretary Olney's was practical
agreement that the secretary of
state should promptly respond
in kindly terms to the commune
cation of Minister De LONE
and through him thank his govern
ment for its readiness to protect Amer
leans and American interests in Spain.
The demand for a disclaimer of the
senate's resolution will be ignored, but
at the same ting, there is reason to as
sert that the-pfesident 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 feet of war vessels
near enough together to mass them
promptly or at any point that may be
threatened.

INCREASES THE TENSION.

Spaniarhs Not at All Pleased with
Cable Advices From This Country.
MADRID. March 3.-The cable dis.
from the United States are increasing
the feeling Of Indignation, which was
aroused among the masses, when it be.
came known that the United States
senate favored the recognition of the
Cuban insurgents as bellgerents. and
the newspapers here confirm the report
that Il Spanish naval squadron consist
ing of four cruisers and despatch boat
is to be sent to Cuba without delay
In addition, the Spanish naval officers
and marines are to be armed and
equipped as auxiliary cruisers. The
greatest activity is being displayed i'll
the government navy yards and every
preparation possible is being made by
the naval and military force for the
most serious eventualit. es.
Unprovok eel and Unreasoning.
The Impartial declares that the ut
terances of the United States senate
are "an unprovoked and unreasoning"
provocation: 1t adds: If the desire
for war was in response to fault COM
mitted by Spain, the senators would
be accomplish ng their duty. But no
provocatlon has been given to the
United States, and the Americans Judge
rashiy of the results of a Spanish Amer
lean war.
THE distasteful language of the sen
ate 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 good conscience, than with
pockets filed with dollars
In conclusion, The impartial coun-
sells the spaniards to reserve their
strength and energies for an opportune
moment.
