MINISTER TO SPAIN
Wrought Up Over Alleged
Flag Incident at Madrid.

HAVANA. Feb. 5-A dispatch from
Madrid published in Ell Mundo' yes
terday. saying that the Cuban minister
was requested by the minister of for
eign affairs Of Spain to take down the
Cuban flag because of an ordinance
against foreign flags flying over private
houses. has caused great Indignation
here.
Representative Castillo introduced in
The House yesterday afternoon a resoIu-
ton asking President Palma to cable JIM
mcdiateIy to Senior Marcban. Cuban
minister. for partic liars Of the incident.
and to place all the circumstances ne
fore Congress. The resolution was pass
ed unanimously.
Much bitterness was displayed It IS
argued that as Senior Marchan had pre-
scented his credentials his home was the
Cuban legation. and was not subject to
the law regarding foreign flags.
II II develops that the minister was
compelled to lower the flag if is certain
the house viii vote to recall the Cuban
legation from Madrid. thus causing q
breach Of diplomatic relations between
the two countries. There is fear. too.
that some anti-Spanish CubaHS here
might tear down the Spanish flags.
