SPANISH 0)RIES MEETS
CHEERS FOR THE KING
AND QUEEN REGENT.
SPEECH FROM THE THRONE
Loyal support-Quoen Regent Says
She Has Summon ed the Cortes
to Defend Spanish Right
Most of Speech Devoted
to American Trouble.

MADRID, April 2L-On few occa-
sions has Madrid witnessed such
scenes of popular enthusiasm as yes
terday, when the queen regent, ac-
companied by the king, dressed in the
uniform of the infantry cadets, with
the insignia OF the golden fleece,
travelled in state, with all the pomp
that makes the Spanish court famous,
from the palace to the senate hall,
where the cortes met in specially con-
volsed session.
"Long live the queen" Long live
the king" "Long live SPAIN" were
the cries necessarily given. The
spirit of the crowds in the streets per-
vaded the secluded halls of the SEN
ate and when the doors were thrown
wide open for the royal persons to en-
ter, thousands of distinguished spec
tators who filled the galleries, depu.
ties and senators, rose to their feet
and received the queen and king with
laundering acclamations
The queen regent read the speech
from the throne. The boy king stood
at her side She referred to the trou-
bles men toned at the last session of
the Cortes, saying they had increased
lowing to the attitude upon the part
of the people of the United States
in fomenting rebellion" adding that
hitherto Spain had submitted Ito
these threats and injuries as not be-
ing an expression of the American ma
ton, but becoming national they
would oblige me 10 break relations
with the United States"
Continuing, the queen regent said,
that in the supreme crisis the pope
spoke words of peace which were
hardened to by my government, in
the consciousness of right and in
strict performance of international
duties"
"Spains gratitude is due to the pope
and also to the great powers whose
action strengthens my conviction that
SPANS cause deserves universal SYM
pathy."
Continuing, Her Majesty said: POS
sibly, however, the peace efforts may
fail to control the evil passions eX-
cited against Spain. Lest this mo-
ment arrive, l have summoned the
Cortes to defend our rights, whatever
sacrifice they may entail
"Thus identifying myself with the
nation, l not only fulfill the oath l
swore - accepting the regency,
but l follow the dictates of
mothers heart trusting to the Spanish
people to gather behind my sons
throne and to defend it until he is old
enough to defend it himself, rs we'll
rs trusting to the Spanish people to
defend the honor and the territory of
the nation"
The queen regent then referred to
the trouble in the Philippine islands
and, con tinuing, said: Although a
dark and gloomy future is before
us, the difficulties are not yet beyond
our power. With our glorious
army, navy ana the united nation be-
fore foreign aggression, we trust in
God that we shall overcome, without
stain on our honor, the baseless and
MUST attacks made upon u.s."

guilty Of distortion of an order that had
the battle which it caused been a defeat for

fortunately the falsehood told rescued us
from .perilous position and we won q
victory"
Capt. Coles regiment was the famous
First Maine Cavalry which by special
order of the War Department has seven
carried by any regiment in the Union
army. The First Maine also has the record
of having turned more of its troopers into
preachers at the close of hostilities than
any other regim emit Of the northern army,
while several of the men who have been
governors of the Pine Tree state since 1865
were at the front with the First Maine.
But it was while he was on the staff of Gen.
Chas. F. Smith, who commanded a brigade
of the Second Cavalry corps, the head OF
which was Gen. ID. McGregg, one of the
best cavalry captains in the north or south.

and gained safe place.
'Some time afterward told Gen. Smith
what had done"
"What happened" asked one of the
other veterans.

from Minnesota, who added that with

in fit condition to take q hand in the i'm
