opposite the American consulate. They

many patriotic cries began to throw stones

smashed and part of the furniture or the
consulate seriously damaged. When the
crowd was at the height of it's frenzy a LAD

the American escutcheon threw 1t to the

cutcheon was paraded as a trophy through
the streets and ultimately carried to the
crowded Plaza de In Cons situc,on, where
Its appearance created great enthusiasm.
The governor, warned by telephone,
made his appearance. Then some one

The audience applauded, and In a few

From there the several contingents and

The mounted infantry civil guard was

ended, although the people occasionally IN
duged in patriotic cries and the streets
were full.
The Malaga correspondent of the Daily
Mail in a later dispatch dated Saturday
night says:
BY order Of the government the local au-
thorities Of Malaga waited upon the Amer
loan consul today with an apology for the
insults. The escutcheon has been replaced.
The press etroCgly denounces the occur

the two countries. Tonight, however, the
popular demonstrations were again re-

The Senate Vote
LONDON, April 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard. telegraphing
Sunday night, says: The vote in the SEN
ate has caused a most unfavorable i'm
preston in Madrid, as closing the door to
an understanding of any kind being ar
rived at between the Spanish and Amer
lean governments. Should President Nc
Kinley indorse either the idea of recog-
milton Of Cuba, or Of armed Intervention,
no Spanish government would tolerate
either of these courses without risking the
gravest consequences in Spain.
The unseemly precipitation of the Amer
ican parliament leads Spain to believe
that such an aggressive and provoking
policy simply aims at making a rush into
a conflict before the results of the suspen-
sion of hostilities with the insurgent
chiefs and to pave the way for their SUBJ
even at the price Of considerable
concessions.
decisive turn in the relations between
Spain and the United States is expected
to be reached toward the end of the week,
when resolutions having been finally
adopted by the senate and house of repre-
sentatives, President Mckinley will lay
the American pretensions before the Span
fish government, demanding q reply on the
principal points for settlement in the Gu
ban question and a cessation of all naval
and military reinforcements which would
imply possibility of renewal and pro-
longation of the struggle in Cuba. AL
such pretensions are subject to protest,
and firm refusal on the part of Spain,
who will, however, do nothing aggressive
In reply, as the government and nation are
determined to fix upon the United States
the whole responsibility of provoking
against this country which have made
every honorable concession to preserve
peace, short of a surrender of it's rights
and territory.
Undoubtedly the government will have
the cordial and enthusiastic support of
parliament, press and public opinion-and
even the opposition of every shade of
opinion-if America drives Senor Sagasta's
cabinet to adopt an attitude of resistance.
The suppressed evaporation against
the United States is daily assuming more
Intensity among all classes.
@ WIFI PrdlseWortHy alacrlty the govern
ment expressed to General Woodford its
regret at the outrage against the Amer
lean vice-consulate at Malaga and tele-
graphed the civil governor to call upon the
express regret and promise
that the authors of the outrage should be
promptly punished.
In Madrid, Malaga, Valencia and Bar
celona the government has warned the
provincial authorities since March 24th to
be on their guard to protect American ci
liens and residences, and it is determined
TO maintain order with severity if neces-
sary. At Barcelona the students renewed
their disgraceful behavior yesterday, but
fortunately majority of the inhabitants
and especially the working classes held
aloof, which allowed the police easily to
dlsperse the rioters and protect the con-
sulates. The rector has closed the uni
versity for an Indefinite period, and his
conduct is generally approved in BARGE
Iona and Madrid.
