No Delay in Disavowing Acts of the Mob.
The cablegram was as follows: "Minister of state has just called to express deep regret that mob has insuited Barcelona consulate, breaking windows, and offered complete reparation. He informed me that the government on its own motion has taken every precaution to guard legation and idy residence. I have asked 110 protection."
The dispatch was laid before the president, and afterward given to the press. It has a soothing effect on the Cuban war spirit, which was very intense. It forestalled any action by the executive department and leaves 110 excuse for boilicose demonstration in congress, based on the Barcelona incident. Otherwise, the passage of the Cuban resolution in the house would not have been delayed, and the Congressional Record would have bristled with Cuban warlike speeches.
MADRID QUIET.
Authorities Suppressing All Attempts Made at Disorders. Madrid, March 3.—This city is now
quiet, the prompt measures taken by the authorities to suppress all disorders and prevent demonstrations, and the large force of police present everywhere, having proved to the people that lawless acts would not be tolerated.
Tho. large crowds ot idlers which lent, themselves to every passing excitement Sunday were not a factor in the situation yesterday. and most, of the people have none about their usual week day avocations.
Tlie abortive attempt of disorderly stuuenrs to make a demonstration before the United States legation has been the only overt act. though the excitement of the public mind over the Cuban question stills runs high.
T110 day was not quiet elsewhere Spain, and attempts at noisy demonstrations of protest against the United States are reported from several points. Barcelona has maintained the reputation it made Sunuay fometing unfriendly demonstrations against the United States and the mounted gendarmes have been kept busy patroling the city and dispersing gatherings of persons •plotting to wreak their wrath upon tho representative of the United States government 111 that. city.
Renewed attempts were made by crowcis during the day to do violence to the United States consulate. They were repeatedly charged by the police and dispersed, only to form in some other place with a persistent determination to do their will upon the consulate. Such tenacity of purpose indicates that mischief makers are at work in the crowd to make them follow up their hostile course against the consulate.
MURDERER HOLMES WEAKENS.
He Throws Aside His liravado and Sends For a Priest. Philadelphia, March 3.—H. H.
Holmes, the murderer of Benjamin F. JPietzel, has thrown aside his mask and has embraced the opportunities for consulting with a spiritual adviser.
Ever since his arrest 011 the charge of defrauding the Fidelity company of $10,000 insurance Holmes has assumed an air of bravado.
Like many other murderers, Holmes now appears in his true light. The air of bravado, assumed tor the occasion, has disappeared and Holmes is practically airaid to die. A few days ago he wrote to Archbishop Ryan, asking that prelate to send him a priest with whom he might confer.
This request was complied with, and the archbishop wrote to Rev. Dr. P. J. Daily, rector of the church of Annunciation, in whose parish Moyamensmg prison is. Father Daily has paid three visits to Holmes. He speaks kindly of Holmes, but beyond that is reticent.
Tlie change 111 the man's demeanor is favorably commented upon by attaches of the district attorney's office. For a long time it was rumored that Holmes would never be hanged, ana that, if convicted, he would cheat the gallows by committing suicide. I
Assistant District Attorney Barlow said that the tact that Holmes is conferring with a priest is sufficient evidence that he does not intend to commit suicide Mr. Barlow thoroughly bolieves that Holmes will retain his selfpossession, although he has deserted tho 1 stand ho had taken, and now is undoubtedly frightened at We prospect of death in the near future.

REGULAR DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS
Full Reparation Is Offered Foy tho Outrage Perpetrated 011 the Consulate Office at Barcelona—The Telegram Laid Before tlie President and Then Given to the Public Through the Press.
"WASHINGTON", March 3.—Spain has apologized to the United States for the attack 011 the American consulate at Barcelona Sunday. The apology came through regular diplomatic channels. It bears date of Sunday, the day the riot occurred, so that there was no delay on part of Spain in promptly disavows the act of the mob. Full reparation is offered.
It is needless to say that Spain's action is very agreeable to the United States. As soon as the news of the riot reached Washington, the Spanish minister called on Secretary Olney, and gave verbal assurances that Spain would make prompt and complete reparation. Secretary Olney, however, sent a cable dispatch to Minister Taylor at Madrid, calling for a statement of the circumstances. Before his inquiry could be acted upon, came the telegram from the American minister, saying that the minister of state had called and apologized and offered full reparation.
forts which have been made to conceal the fact, it is- now ascertained that United States Consul General Williams has resigned'and that his resignation has reached the state department at Washington.
A small local, guerrilla force belonging to Criizes, while reconnoitering in the direction gf San Isidor, 011 the limits of the province of Santa Clara, has been engaged with a force of insurgents, who left three dead on. the field, in addition to the horse of their leader, Sarduy.
Major Costa of the guerrilla forces has had a skirmish with an insurgent band commanded by Robau, at Sagua, on the borders of the province of Santa Clara, with the result that seven insurgents were killed and two of the guerrillas were wounded severely. Five others of the guerrilla force were slightly wounded. Major Costa continued the pursuit of the7 enemy.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace, in command of the Cabelle battalion, was engaged yesterday with the insurgent forces command by Olalla, Nunez, Cayito and Anaryez. He dislodged the insurgents from their positions and they left 18 killed and retired with many wounded. Of the troops- four men were killed and three were wounded. In the later engagement the insurgents lost 22 killed and many wounded, and the troops had two killed and 10 wounded.
A dispatch from Aguacate says that a passenger train, near Campo Florida, was recently fired upon by the insurgents and compelled to retrace its way until it was found that .the insurgents had removed the rails behind it. The train was then again attacked, but the insurgents were beaten off by the troops and they retreated with numerous loss.
The insurgent bands under Miro, Aguirre and others, between Aguacate, Jibacoa and Ceibamocha, have passed tlie Matanzas frontier at Casiguas and are said to be following the highway in the directing of San Jose de Las Lajas, this province-
Five battalions of infantry have left this city in a reconnoitering movement. The indignation here over the action of congress regarding the belligerency of the insurgents increases as the particulars of the debate in congress are received.
The editorials in the press, however, are not offensive toward the United States. The deinon.^rations of patriotism are energetic aiift are displayed by public conversation. Business circles await the outcome with a lively interest, as may be imagined.
Your correspondent is satisfied that the demonstrations of patriotism will be kept within prudent bounds, and there is 110 fear that the American consul general will be in any way disturbed. In fact Mr. Williams is highly esteemed personally and is well assured of eonrteous-.reatmciifc at the hands of the Havana public.
Antonio Maceo is still making his way toward the west and has divided his forces into small bands about Guira and Alquizar. It is reported that he is seeking to divert the attention ol tlie troops from the Matanzas coast so as to allow an expected expedition to land its forces.
In the last engagement which Colonel Arminam had with the insurgents 111 the district of Sancti Spiritus, the leader, Serafin Sanchez, is reported to have been wounded. Ten insurgents were killed and 18 wounded, among them Jesus Zayas, Igancio Lara and Manuel Santillan.
A GREAT ELEVATOR BURNING. It Contained 1,015,000 Bushels of Wheat .Entailing a Loss »»:.
Minneapolis, Marei ... ^-vator A 2, owned by the Minneapolis i'erminal Elevator company, operated by G. W. Yandusen & Company, is burning, and will be totally consumed. The fire caught in the stair tower in some unknown manner, and quickly spread through the building.
There were 1,075,000 bushels of wheat in the building, worth about $600,000. The spouts were opened, and a great quantity ran out on the ground, so that a salvage of about 10 cents a bushel is probable. The building cost $250,000, making the total loss in the neighborhood of $750,000. There is ample insurance to cover the loss.
Only the west wall of the huge elevator is now standing. It will be weeks before the fire in the smoldering heap of wheat goes out. The fire department was successful in the face of heavy odds in protecting the huge twin elevator A L, which was threatened many times.
The insurance 011 the grain in 31 companies foots up $376,500. The largest single insurer is the Indemnity Exchange of Kansas City, which wrote $175,000.
It is now believed by experts that the wheat salvage will amount to 30 or 40 per cent, in which case the total loss will amount to about half a million, while the building cost $200,000 to build. It was one of the first large modern grain elevators built and could now be duplicated for half that amount.
Tlie Deadlock Still On.
Frankfort, Ky., March 3.—The result of yesterday joint assembly brought 110 change in the senatorial deadlock. Hunter received the majority of the Republican votes, but none of the leaders on that side voted for him. The ballot stood: Blackburn, 59 Kunter, 38 L»eboe, 10, and the remainder scattering. Sixty-five votes were required to elect. A motion to adjourn was defeated 64 to 63, the Blackburn men defeating the motion. Auotner ballot was tlieu taken. The result was the same as the former ballot and the assembly adjourned.

Monhoe, Mich., March 3.—New was received here 01 the cremation of a boy aged 4 and two girls aged 2 years and 10 months respectively, in Bedford township, last Saturday. They were children of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Rose, whose home containing the little ones, was burned while the parents had cone awav. leaving the doqrg locked*
