I Justice Will Prevail
MADRID, April 81. = The semi official
Correspondence this afternoon says:
"Spain's feelings have been outraged to
the highest point by the injustice, coarse
ness, infamy, bad faith and insults of all
| kinds heaped upon her by a vile people
with the most ignoble passions and the
asest of feelings. We could return blow
for blow, but Spaniards never use such
weapons, which are forbidden in any civ
ilized country"
In conclusion the Correspondence ex-
presses confidence in the eventual tri-
umph of justice.
Safe Patriotism
MADRID, April 21.-9:30 p.m.-Enthu-
siastic professions are now moving through
the principal streets. The mob gathered
in front of the building of the Equitable
Life Insurance company and insisted upon
the removal of the American eagle, which
was thrown down and smashed to bits, the
fragments being then carried into the
streets by a cheering, yelling mob to the
military club where the members appeared
upon the balcony and enthusiastically
cheered the demonstrators shouting viva
Espana," and Down with the Yankees"
The police mixed with the crowd and al
lowed the demonstrations to go on without
restraint
The civil governor of Madrid. Senior
Aguilar, instead of prohibiting disorder,
allowed complete liberty of action, ming
ling among the demonstrators. He was
loudly cheered, especially when the Ameri-
can escutcheon was thrown from the
Equitable building and fell at his feet
Aguilar, as he tramped upon the escut-
cheon, addressed the people amid enthu-
siastic applause. He said:
1.-THE Spanish lion is aroused from his
slumbers and he will shake his name and
disperse the rest of the brute creation"
The demonstration then continued, a part
of the mob proposing to demonstrate IN
front of the American legation which is
now under the protection of the British
flag. 1t is hoped at the time this dispatch
is sent the crowd will disperse exhausted
having nothing upon which to wreak it's
vengeance.
La Correspondence Espania suggests the
expulsion of all foreigners, especially the
newspaper correspondents, whose pres
ence is dangerous 1t says the censorship
is inadequate as the correspondents find
other means of keeping up their calumnies
against Spain, especially the American cor
respondents
The paper demands that date shall be
fixer for their expulsion, giving them time
only to reach the frontier. LET them fol-
low their profession elsewhere" it says.
land we are confident that no Spaniard
worthy of the name will act as a substi-
tute for Yankee prescribed correspond
ence."
Imposing" Rioting
MADRID, via Paris, April 22.-The demon
strators last evening hoisted the Spanish
flag over the office of the Equitable Life
Insurance company's building and replaced
the American shield by another indicating
that the edilice had been hypothecated in
favor of the company's insurers. They then
moved to other buildings bearing the signs
of the United States all of which were ta-
ken down or will be tomorrow. The crowd
then visited the railway station and gave
tremendous ovation to couple of depart
ing battalions of marines. From this point
they went to the military club as already
cabled.
At the moment this dispatch leaves the
city of Paris the manifestants are making
an imposing demonstration 6000 strong,
headed by national flags. The demonstra-

divided into two professions. The first is
