SPAIN ENTERS A
 KICK AT WASHINGTON
She Objects to the Oregon and Iowa Going to Manila While Peace Terms
 Are Being Settled.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-A special to The Tribune from Washington says:
 Spain has protested against the bat tleships Oregon and Iowa going around Cape Horn to the Philippine islands, and demands their return to the United States, claiming the action in sending these ships to Manila is violation of the terms of the protocol
 The protest was formally submitted to Secretary Hay by M Thiebaur, charge d'affaires of the French embassy, while President Mckinley was ia Chicago at- tending the peace jubilee and celebra- tion. Secretary Hay declined to reply until President Mckinley returned.
 The question is now under considera- tion, and it is believed 1t was discussed at the cabinet meeting, but no decision was reached. Spain claims that Admi- ral Dewey's fleet cannot be reinforced during the armistfce, and that the statu quo must be maintained. This is prob. dD4y III IStdl4dt HUH I91 tut HlsI4ejNtS dttti5 by this government on Spain when it was learned q shipload of reinforce, ments for the island of Pansy were dis covered on the steamer Baenos Ayres at Singapore.
 This government peremptorily de- manded the return of these troops, as Spain neglected to observe the formali- ty or asking her mission.
 It has been generally understood that while Sagasta did not give this govern ment permission to send the Oregon and Iowa to Manila he was advised of the administrator wishes and acquiesced in the plan.
 This protest is looked upon here as an indication that hosriIties are to be re newed, but as another evidence hair splitting diplomacy engendered by the impotent regime of a yanquished foe.
 The Oregon and the Iowa are now on the South American coast. participating in celebration held by one Of the South American republics and can be recalled if the administration sees fit to oacquiesce in the Spanish demands.
