which were prevalent here when the
news was first received of the action
of the United States on the Cuban
question broke out afresn today, and
there were renewed demonstrations OF
hostility to the United States. The
mob made it's way to the United States
consulate, which was stoned, and the
windows of which were smashed by
the infuriated populace.
The university here has been closed
under orders from the government, as
it was feared the students meetings
would be a hot-bed for breeding dis
orders. But this measure proved un-
availing. and the police have been
kept busy dispensing students gather
ings nearly all day. Several attempts
were made by disorderly paraders to
make their way tc the United States
consulate, but they were frustrated, as
the authorities had received special
orders to be on the lookout for any
demonstration against the property
of the United States. Special protection
was afforded the building in which
the office of the consul is located with
view to the same end.
The mob gathered before the build
ing before the police were aware of
What was occurring, and stones began
to lily from the crowd with the result
that windows were broken. The crowd
was cheered on by sympathizers in
the streets, and from the neighboring
houses. The police lost no time in
charging the rioters. and the mob was
speedily dispersed, the missiles being

cries OF deris1on against the United
states government and attempts to
make speeches. The orators were not
allowed to proceed far before the po-
lice drove away their hearers and
warned the speakers to desist. A num-
Der of arrests were made as a result
OF the defiance of the orders issued for
preserving the peace.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The late
hour at which the reports of disorders
today in Valencia were received made
1t impossible to learn whether any Of
fcial information had been received
mere in regard to the trouble The at
tack will no doubt create renewed in
dignation in congressional circles. and
may have the effect of Fastening ac-
tlon on the Cuban resolutions when the
conference report is taken up in the
senate on Monday. In this, as in the
case OF the attack on the consulate at
Barcelona last Sunday, the Spanish
government, it is quite likely, will
promptly express to the United States
government it's regret for the occur
renee and make a complete disayoWal
of it. The Spanish minister has re-
ceived no advices concerning this lat
est disturbance.
MADRID, March 5.-Numerous groups
OF students, armed with cudgels, took
part in patriotic meeting in Buenre-
t1rO park today. A strong force of DO
lice, mounted and on foot, dispersed
them. The police are guarding the uni
VerS1ty, the veterinary college and the
medical college. 1t is stated here that
several English ship owners have Of
Tered the government to euip privateers
on their own account in case of war be-
tween Spain and the United States The
government has decided to purchase
two additional cruisers. 1t is stated here
that the situation in Cuba appears to
improve.
The authorities have succeeded in
dispensing all the rioters, and order
has been restored in the city.
BARCELONA, March 5-The uni
versitieS here, at Valencia and at Gran
ada are closed III order to prevent the
students from making demonstra tions
against the United States. The excite
ment, however. has considerably abat-
ed, and there is a belief prevailing that
Great Britain and France will support
Spain against the United States.
