NEW YORK, Nov, 7,-Captain Will
lam Wyndham, who has been trans
ferred as British consul at Chicago af-
ter three years. service In a similar ca
pacIty at Barcelona. Spain, was pas
senger on the La Bretagne, which ar
rived from HaVre to-day. After spend
ing q week with relatives in PhIladel-
phia, he will leave for his new post at
Chicago,
He said: 1.-THE feeling In Spain
against the United States Is one OF
great bitterness. There have been no
demonstrations in Barcelona or there
abouts within the last year against the
United States and the Spanish govern
ment Is taking care that there shall be
none. The bitterness, however, Is very
marked, particularly in Barcelona Be
fore the Cuban war Barcelona, one Of
the great manufacturing centres of
Spain, prospered chiefly in its trade
with Cuba and Manila. The war in
Cuba and the Philippine islands has
cut off this trade. Barcelona mas lost
the best and most lucrative market she
enjoyed. Only one-third of the men
hitherto employed in her factories are
now working and they on reduced
time. All over the manufacturing CEN
ters of Spain there is similar CONNER
cial prostitution.
"The Spanish cannot understand why
the United States, friendly nation,
should allow so many fllibustering ex-
petitions to get away safely to Cuba.
That fact makes them additionally bit
ter. When I left Spain there were no
symptoms OF anger against the late
minister of the United States to that
country, Hannis Taylor. The Spanish
were TOO much absorbed In what Gener-
al Woodford, your new minister might
say and do, ! heard no talk there OF
war with the United States Spain has
not the money to waGe war with you.
As for the reported prospective upris-
ing OF the Carlists. don't think there
Is much danger OF that now. The Car
lists would not stand much Of chance
Of gain as things are now governed In
Spain"

Delegates from the steelworkers'
union reported relative TO the strike at
the BellaIre steel plant. The delegates
reported that the company Isn't making
much progress, breakdowns of the ma
chinery are frequent, and the strikers
are hopeful and confident Of success
II was also stated that the company was
forced TO give bonds for the appearance
of "black sheep" who had been arrest
ed In Benwood Saturday night. The
money was put up by the company FOR
the mems appearance this evening
A motion was then adopted instruct
ing the trustees to see as To the cost OF

which may arise. He will be hired by

A delegate caused a little ripple by
claiming that members of the musical
union are working at the steel mill. A
motion was then adopted asking the
delegates of the musical union 10 IN
Yestigate the matter,
There are some men at work in and
around the steel mill, not directly con-
nected with the strike, and the question
of calling them out In sympathy was
debated Some of the delegates were In
favor of having the assembly brand
every man nj work after Tuesday as
''scab," while others deemed II better 10
use missionary methodS. IN support OF
the latter theory 1t was argued that II
the salarled men of the mill could be
gotten out there would be an effective
tie-up. After considerable discussion It
was unanimously voted to brand every
