New York, April 20.-Spaniards in hum
bic circumstances, residents of this city,
were amazed last night when they learned
that the Spanish government meant only
10 give them free passage as far as Ha-

acting for his government, was prepared
to make arrangements for their transfer
from this country to Spanish dominions.

would carry them. While Havana is one
of the ports of call of the Panama, they
believed that they would be transferred at
some other port of call to one of the
regular liners of the same steamship COM

direct. Blu: il seems that the Spanish
government contemplated no such action
and last night the situation was. that

The Indignation at such course was

The mutterings against such an arrange

not improbable at all that the Panama
will carry less than one-half the Spanish
refugees which it was expected would be
on board her. Arrangements have been
made for 100 free passages. No more will
be accepted.
Every male Spaniard landing in Havana
is being recruited forcibly. The refugees

duty, so that the protection which the
Spanish government is offering to those
who are unable to protect themselves by
sailing under a neutral flag, is in reality
