Expresses Deep Regret over the At
tack Upon the Consulate.
WASHINGTON, March 2.--The Spanish
government took steps very promptly to
mako amends to the United States for the
outburst of mob violence at Barcelona. This
action. and especially the fact that 1t was
taken Immediately upon the news OF the fact
reaching the government and without wait
ing for any suggestion from the United
States, doubtless will tend greatly to relieve
the situation and prevent 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 Mr.. Hannis
Taylor, United States minister at Madrid
The cablegram was dated yesterday and says
that the Spanish minister OF state has ex-
pressed deep regret at the Barcelona affair
and has offered complete reparation. The
litpatch adds that measures have been taken
b accord tho United states legation protec-
tion.
Later information shows that the cable
gram from, Minister Taylor reached Secre-
tary Olney early yesterday evening. when he
was officially advised of the Barcelona out
break in the following cablegram from United
States Minister Hannis Taylor at Madrid:
Minister of state has Just called to eX-
press deep regret that mob has insulted
Baroelo IA consulate ana offered complete
reparaton. He informed me that the gov
ernment on its own motion has taken every
precauton to guard the legation and my
residence. i have asked no protection"
1t is perhaps In part owing to these OIL
cial adyices that the excitement In Spain
over the action of the United States senate
leading up TO the insult to the United States
consulate at Barcelona fails to find CORE
spending reflex in Washington. al least In
official circles. and almost everywhere the
feeling Is generally that the affair is not one
which necessarily must lead to hostilities.

sage. il would seem that either himself or
