Tells How European Sympathy is Very Con-

en- the United States.

New York. May "A dispatch to the
Journal from Madrid gives an account
Of an interview obtained by special
commissioner with the queen regent OF
Spain. During the course OF the inter-
view the queen regent said:
I'VE have almost all OF Europe with
us and in the painful moments we are
now passing through that is great
consolation, and at the same time an
encouragement.
mot that we ask anything what
ever from the powers which are eN-
pressing their sympathies for us, but
from the point OF view of strict right
their attitude touches us profoundly,
Not day passes without bringing
the king and myself warm letters from
abroad, some even coming from the
United States. These documents go
straight to our hearts. Come what
may. and whatever God may decide.
we shall always remember them.
Spanish patriotism, which Is one
OF the best characteristics of this coun-
try, is being heated more and more by
news from abroad. our patriotism Is
not a vain word; it is not flag Haunt
ed by a few persons. No; Spanish
patriotism is one of the most admir-
| able things in existence.
Everybody here is ready to shed the
| last drop OF his blood to defend his
country. Everybody Is ready to do his
duty, to fight like a hero on the battle
| field.
THE Spaniards are fighting for theli
| country. The Americans are fighting
each for himself That is why we are
proud OF Europe's encouragement

thus, they pushed us till we could go

place, to the great establishment of
the Americans themselves, who had
fallen into their own snare. They were

Trouble OF most seriosn nature is
threatening British interests at Santi-
ago de Cuba. The British third class
cruiser Pearl is now there and within
"a hours the British third class cruiser
Pallas and the British sloop Alert
probably will join her.
The Alert 1t now appears was accom-
panied to Santiago de Cuba by the
Pearl, and the Alert was sent back
with dispatches regarded by the Brit
ish consul as being too important to
trus, to the censored cable.
These dispatches were cabled to
London by the colonial authorities
here. The Alert will return to santi-
ago de Cuba with the Pallas. now at
Port Antonio.
The colonial authorities are retlcent
as to the contents of the dispatch and
the reasons for the movements Of the
warshlps. but the story told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at the ia
maica club today was that the British
consul. Mr.. Ramon, had been attacked
In the consulate by a mob, whereupon
he fired upon the crowd. killing a Span

statements. however. are not verified
Mr.. Ramon is partner In the firm
of Brooks Brothers and is regarded as
man of vigorous and even violent
character.
Later In the day It was reported that
the trouble at Santiago de Cuba had
been settled. The British warship
Pearl has arrived at Port Royal, and

pondent visited the Austrian ship

something relative to the report that
one of the sailors had been detected
Interfering with the lock on one OF the
magazines. The/report was confirmed
by several of the crew and warrant
officers. The man under arrest Is an
Italian American. The man was con.
fined in an iron cage six feet square
There was just sufficient space to
permit the passage of water and hard
biscuit to him. which made up his daily
repast. He will be kept in confinement
until the ship returns to Austria and
will then be turned over to the authori-
ties, charged with the serious crime OF
having attempted to blow up the ves-
sci. II was stated that dynamite had
been found in the possession OF the ac-
cused. The correspondent had a chat
with the sailor.
The s,cry regarding the arrest of the
dynamlter was general ON board and
was being discussed by the ships crew
The penalty for such an act was death
by shooting. The sailor admitted that
he had tampered with the lock OF the
magazine. and the fact that he was an
Italian American added much to this
sensational part of the affair. 1t was
stated that the attempt to wreck the
vessel by the dynamite was made while
the ship was in New York harbor.

that the United States can do precise
ly what she chooses with Manila or

implying that America has only to
speak and no one Will venture to dis
pute her right to dispose of her lawful
prize as she chooses.

much fears that this view viii entail

States will probably discover that
these simple ideas Of doing what you

solete In Europe. The first symptoms
