dispatch from Madrid, asserting that the
Spanish Government had authorized
formal remonstrance 10 be presented
against the attitude OF the United States
i'm regard TO Cuba, replied that this was
directly contrary TO ali his Information
and To explicit statements contained In
the Queens speech. He said that his
Government had warned him 20 pay no
attention to disturbing dispatches In the
press, as they would keep him fully ad-
ysed on all points, The relations be-
tween Spain and the United States, ne
added, were entirely cordial and there

A cablegram from the Spanish consul

Cuba ON her last trip. The consul says
on the arrival OF the Bermuda in TruNiilo
house that he had the following men:
Twenty-seven in the crew. eleven pas
sengers, and one hundred tons of coal.
Subsequently, he admitted having on boart
thirty w0rknen.' making a total OF
seyenty-elght men. The authorities
found the hold apparently full OF coal.
which made il impossible for them TO
