tain Quevedo was grief stricken, and
greatly Inundated because of the cap
ture. The passengers declare they knew
nothing of the blockade, and that when
they saw the searchlight of the Man
grove they thought it was the light of
a Spanish man-of-war. The first shot
changed their joy to apprehension, the
second and third created a panic. The
women ran screaming for shelter from
the enemy's guns and the Captain
locked himself sullenly in his cabin.
The Panama carries a valuable cargo
of general merchandise, including a
large quantity of corn. Much of it was
meant to provision the Spanish in Gu
ba, and the cargo, with the ship itself
undoubtedly makes the richest prize
thus far taken. Under the regulations,
however, the battleship Indiana will
share in the prize money, as she was
in sight when the capture was made.

IN THE HANDS OF MODS.
Serious State of Affairs at Madrid
and Other Spanish Cities.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Madrid and
more than twenty of the largest towns
in Spain are in the hands of the mob
several hours every day, says the Mad
rid correspondent of the World" The
Government has permitted patriotic
demonstrations as the best means of
giving vent to popular excitement. All
was we'll as long as they were express
sions of animosity toward America or
ebullitiOns in anticipation of victory
over a foreigner-always an object of
hate and suspicion with the Spanish
masses.
But now the demonstrations are get
ting beyond control. The Government
is anxious. and the better classes are
alarmed. The police notice in the
throngs many socialists, anarchists and
Republicans, who would quickly turn
these demonstrations into anti-dynamite
or anti-monarchical movements, or at
least upset the Cabinet if news came
Of a serious reverse beyond the seas.
All the Spanish revolutions have be-
gun in just such outbreaks. The noisest
demonstrations are particularly dam
gerous now, when all classes have been
led to indulge into hopes of military
and naval triumphs.
The revolutionary parties are very
active. They are almost publicly
threatening to take matters in their
own hands, if the Government does not
succeed in promptly overcoming the
United States.
Matters are critical politically-and
even worse financially. Both aspects of
the situation are being employed by the
Spanish diplomats and court to impress
European courts and Governments with
the urgent necessity of action to save
Spain from both the foreigner and her
self
The Cabinet, which has rendered its
resignation to the Queen Regent, de-
clines to take up the responsibilities of
office again without a promise of the
support necessary to enable it to carry
on a war which all foresee can hardly
end favorably for Spain. 1t seeks thus
to impose on the opposition party a pa
triotic obligation and bridge over the
ministerial crisis.
If the Liberal Ministry should be re-
tanned in the main, but be obliged to
sacrifice Colonial Minister Moret and
the other supporters of the policy of
colonial home rule, the Government
would be seriously compromised in the
eyes of Europe in a way that would
benefit the United States. Sagasta
hopes to be able to induce the Cortes
to vote unlimited appropriations for
the war and adjourn quickly, thus
avoiding debates embarrassing to the
Government.
