mittees of citizens have been organized at
San Antonio New Orleans and San Fran
cisco to solicit donations to popular fund
to assist Spain in increasing her naval
strength Is paraded by the Madrid and Ha-
Vana newspapers as rejecting the rebel
llous sentiment in the three cities men
toned, which. It is alleged, would favor
Spain in the event OF serious complications
between Madrid aud Washington.
One paper makes the ridiculous assertion
that should Spain declare war upon the
United States the entire Southwest would
probably withdraw from the Union ana
