Ylcloaa Flftht nt Mnipeth Won by a PiurJUat AVbo la Well Known on. the Indlonapolls Levee.M lASPETII, Tu L, March 2. It was clearly demonstrated to-night that when there Is a good fight arranged, no matter how cold or disagreeable the weather, Jhere will be a bis attendance of the sporting element at the ring-side. The Empire Athletic Clubhouse was well filled by an enthusiastic crowd of sports, many of whom came a long way to see the two bouts which were on tr.e programme. Tim Furst acted as referee. The principal "go" wa the twenty-round contest at 15V pounds between Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, and Charley ("Kid") McCoy, late of Memphis, but now a resident of Astoria, L I. The minor bout, which was first on the card, was an eight-round.-mill r.t 123 pounds 1 between Jerry Burn?, of Cohoes, and Jack Downey, of Brooklyn. At the end of the eighth round honors were even and the bout was declared a draw. The event of the evening was then called. Ryan was the first to show up. lie jumped Into the ling at 9:C5 o'clock, accompanied by Charley White, "Kid" Lavigne, Sam Fitzpatrick and Tom Cawley, of Syracuse. McCoy followed thirty seconds afterwards, accompanied by Steve O'Donnell, Maurice Ilagerstrom and "Brooklyn" Jimmy Carroll. The betting was pretty brisk and all in Ryan's favor. The twd men sjiook hands at 10:0G o'clock. Ryan led off with a left tap on the face. After sparring for half a minute, McCoy landed left on the faceIn a rally, McCoy put his right on the face. Ryan rushed McCoy in the latter's corner and McCoy again got his right to the face. In the next three rounds little punishment was inflicted by either. At the opening of the fifth both rushed matters, landing rights and lefts on body and face. Ryan sent his left to the wind and McCoy sent his right back on body. McCoy landed his left on the face and right on the body. Ryan swung his right for the head, but McCoy ducked cleverly. Ryan landed his right on body and ran around the ring with McCoy hitting him with his right and left until Ryan fell. They were in a hot rally when time was called. In the sixth round Ryan began by running round and fell down. McCoy fell on top of him. In the next McCoy slipped to one knee and took his time in getting up. The men were clinched when the gong sounded. Ryan led his left on the face and McCoy sent a good left back on the same place at tho opening of the eighth round. McCoy put in four straight lefts on Ryan's body. Ryan got his right on the wind. McCoy got his right and left on the neck In a mix-u and then his left on the Jaw. McCoy sent his left hard on the chin and Ryan went to his knees. He took his full time in getting up and the gong sound-c-d after he got up. The crowd cheered loudly for McCoy. In the ninth Ryan rushed and McCoy hit full in the fa-e twice. McCoy landed right and left 01 face and fought Ryan all over the ring. Ryan fell from the effects of a right-hand blow cn the head. McCoy rushed some and tried to land a knock-out. The "Kid" punched Ryan right and left on the face and body and had him blecdinjr from the mouth and ear at the end of the round. In the tenth round It looked as If McCoy would put Ryan out with a right and lefthand smash, but the gong still found Ryan on his feet. McCoy kept up his right and lfft-hand Jabs in tho eleventh. Ryan's face was all puffed up and his mouth was bleeding profusely. McCoy was as clean as when ho began and there was not a mark on his face or bodj Ryan managed to get in a right on neck, but McCoy had It all his own way. In tho twelfth McCoy led off with right ami left on the. head and then sent his left twice very quickly on the neck and his right on the face. Right and left-hand swings from McCoy on Ryan's face made the Syracuse man groggy. McCoy knocked him down with a right-hand upper cut. Ryan stayed down nine seconds. He hugged McCoy until the end of the round. At tho close of the thirteenth round McCoy was still without a scratch. In the next McCoy jabbed his left twice on the body and his rlsht on the jaw. ityan ran away once more, but McCoy cornered him. McCoy sent bl3 left twice to the wind and right and left on neck. In the fifteenth and last McCoy jabbed his left three times on the wind and swung his right on head and after this t was all over. He landed a left on the Jaw and Ryan went down at the ropes. He got up as the referee counted tn, but it was his lat attempt, as McCoy scut a right and left on the face and Jaw. putting Ryan down and out. He tried to get up, but he wa done for and the referee counted him out. Ryan was carried back to hi corner in a badly battered condition and had to be helped out of the ring. Referee Hurst declared McCoy the winner amid the cheers and yells of the spectators, who lionized th "Kid." Time of the last round uaa one miuute, fifty-four seconds.

HITT'S FORCIBLE APPEAL CHARGE OF SPANIARDS THAT THERE IS NO WAR, REFUTED, And the Object ami Scope of the Resolutions Explained Warlike Measure Adopted by the Senate. WASIIIXOTOX, March 2. Cuba Libre had a field day in the House. Despite the. war talk from Spain the struggling patriots" In Cuba were eulogized and sympathized with in a two hours' debate, and the rules were then suspended, and the resolutions by the House foreign affairs committee were adopted as a substitute for those of the Senate by an overwhelming majority 2C3 to 17. An analysis of the vote shows that 188 Republicans, 70 Democrats 'and 5 Populists voted for the resolutions and 9 Republicans and 8 Democrats against them. The debate which preceded their adoption, was animated, and breathed a spirit of liberty. At times It was exceedingly dramatic, especially when forebodings of war Were uttered, but there was no stemming the strong tide. The setting of the scene was brilliant. The galleries were black with people attracted by the prospect of the stirring events. In. the reserved gallery were many prominent personages. Even the diplomatic gallerj. which is usually empty, was thronged with t'ae representatives of foreign countries. On the floor the attendance was the largest of the session. A number of Senators came over from the other end of the Capitol to watch the proceedings. The enthusiasm of thb members and the spectators ran riot several timed, and the opponents of the resolutions cut but a sorry figure when they attempted a counter demonstration. Owing to the brief time allotted for debate members were fortunate in securing two or three minuter to present their views. Bills were passed under under suspension of the rules as follows: To authorize the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Aitken, Minn.; on motion of Mr. Din?more, to grant the Arkansas & Northwestern railroad a right of way through the Indian Territory. A TdIH to retire Lieutenant Commander R. M. G. Brown, U. S. X., one of the officers injured in the Samoan -wreck, asa commander, was defeated C8 to 83. The Senate joint resolution directing the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase and distribute the seeds authorized by the current lawlwas adopted. Mr. Hitt, chairman I the committee on foreign affairs, then arose. Immediately a hush fell on the House. He moved to suspend the rules and pass the resolutions reported by the House foreign affairs committee for recognizing Cuban belligerency. The resolutions follow: "Resolved, By the House" of Representatives (the Senate concurring) that in the opinion of Congress a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are entitled to belligerent rights, and that the United States should observe a strict neutrality between the belligerents. "Resolved, That Congress deplores the destruction of life and property caused by the war now waging in the island, and, believing that the only permanent solution of the contest, equally in the interest of Spain, the people of Cuba and other nations, would be in the establishment of a government by the choice of the people of Cuba, it Is the sense of Congress that the government of the United States ahould use its good offices and friendly' influence to that end. "Resolved, That the United States has not intervened in the struggles between any European governments and their colonies on this continent, but from the very close relations between the people of the United States and those of Cuba in consequence of its proximity f.nd the extent of the commerce between the two peoples, the present war is entailing such losses on the people of the United States that Congress is of opinion that the government of the United States should bo prepared to protect the legitimate interests of Americans by intervention, if necessary. MR. HITTS SPEECH. "The resolutions," said Mr. Hitt, "have been considered with great care by the foreign affairs commltte. In many meetings, through several months, the question has been discussed. They have been ripened and matured after consultation with tho most eminent Jurists. In the interests of right, of peace, of our own country, and In the interest of those who aro makins a struggle with which we sympathize, we believe these resolutions present the more practical, conservative and effective mode of action. They propose, first, that Congress shall express its opinion that a state of public war exists in the island of Cuba and that we recognize it: second, that the conditions prevailing on that island, which have involved such great and deplorable losses, will find a permanent solution only in the establishment of a government by the free choice of the people of Cuba themselves, and that our government should use itn friendly influence to that end this. In the interest of the people of Spain, of Cuba and of all other nations: and. third, in view of the vast Interests of our people in the island of Cuba, so close a neighbor: in view of the immense commerce that is being destroyed and the prodigious Investments of our American citizens, there being consumed, that our government, while it has never entered Into any connection between European powers and their colonies in any of the struggles which have taken place between them, should be prepared to protect the interests of our American citizens by intervention, if intervention be necessary. The resolution ought not to causo any trouble between us and any country not seeking to foment trouble with us. "I think that gentlemen will agree with me that the proposition of the committee is one far more prudent and effective than tho Senate resolution. First, as to the belligerency of tho Cubans, that there is a Htate of war is a fact shown by many things beside newspaper reports. The official reports of our consuls show the growth

to 187S. More than one-half a year ago the consuls report that the armed forces

then in the field contending with desperate earnestness and unconquerable will were three times greater than the men engaged in the rebellion of Is when at the height of its power, and the tide of war has swept on from one side of the island to the other, until to-day the Spanish authority is not, in fact, exercised over more than one-third, probably not more than onefourth of its territory. The Spanish minister made a public statement Feb. 22. In which ho said that 123,000 troops have been sent to the island by Spain. Is not that war? Is that a police force putting down a street disturbance? Recently the captain general of Cuba issued a lengthy proclamation which we have read with horror, which contained detailed regulations and proscriptions concerning this war in the very terms and spirit of the orders Issued by Napoleon when he commanded the greatest forces ever enlisted in modern warfare. HISTORY RECALLED. "It will not do to say that this is guerrilla warfare. One hundred and fifty thousand of the finest soldiers that ever marched Into Spain took possession of its cities, as the Spanish troops have taken possession of the Cuban cities, and assumed to subdue a people who could only" resist by means of guerrilla warfare. And what was the result? Guerrilla warfare destroyed that splendid army. And It was the defeat of Napoleon's forces in that mighty war, conducted by this harassing and irregular system, that deprived him of his resources, so that after the final blow In the retreat from Moscow that greatest power of modern time3 crumbled and fell. Was that war? Can a Spaniard deny it? There Is not a Spaniard In the world who is not proud to recount It as the grandest era in Spanish history and one of the proudest chapters in relation to that race. "We not only seizes, ship that the Spanish minister notifies our Judicial officers is about to leave before it gets out of the harbor, as was done with the Bermuda, but we send our cruisers to pursue them on the high seas. "If the Cubans are recognized as belligerents they will have the same rights that we now give fully to Spain. By recognizing the Cubans' belligerency they will have a flag and can purchase in our markets. ' "I will say to gentlemen who are fearful of the relations of our country with foreign countries that I do not think this recognition can excite ground of comfJlalnt. for this war has existed a year, with grea: bloodshed. Spain recognized the Southern Confederacy a month before the battle of Bull Run. The Spanish pretend that the Cubans are in their favor. We do not believe it. We wish them to have a government of their own choice. We believe it will be a free government. We cannot no government can ask in a friendly spirit for the independence of a part of a monarchy. "The lost provision, in regard to intervention, is one that has been the usage of nations, that has been practiced by ourselves twenty times, and wherever American interests are imperiled we land marines, if necessary. And if it Is necessary for the protection of a great property in the midst of extreme confusion and disorder, we can land a -sufficient force for protection. The great aim of this Republic ought to be to be ready always to follow its people, to protect their interests, their property and their lives anywhere in the world." (Applause.) . Mr. McCreary, ex-chairmah of the foreign affairs committee, followed Mr. Hitt with a hearty indorsement of the resolutions. The Island, he said,' was confronted with ruin and the Cuban people with extermination. He was ready, -he said, to do all in his power, consistent with honor and with the Integrity of our country, to give Independence to Cuba , and free the struggling patriots from a cruel and relentless despotism. This was no time for sympathy or for the denunciation of the brutal outrages and the barbarous atrocities that have been committed in Cuba. The time had come for the American Congress to act. . AN ELOQUENT PKNNSYLVANIAN. Mr. Adams, a member of the foreign affairs committee, mado an eloquent speech In behalf of the straggling Cubans. The struggling spirit of liberty which we had Invoked in 177$, he said, was not bounded by the metes of continents nor , the vast ocean itself, H revcd T'ith prld to the fact that hewhlle'mtnlster'to Brazil, had received instructions from Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, to open diplomatic relations with the provisional government of Brazil when Dom Pedro was dethroned. "Now, sjr, shall we hesitate," he said, "when this other child of freedom calls on us to grant It recognition in its struggle for liberty? Shall the people of the United States hesitate, I hope and pray that the great ruler who guides the destinies of men and controls the fate of nations will plant in the hearts of our rulers to-day the name spirit . that dwelt In that of James G. Blaine." (Loud applause.) Mr. Sulzer, wh" was given three minutes, spoke In favor of the resolution. Mr. Turner made the principal speech in opposition to the adoption of the resolutions. He expressed at the outset surprise that the committee had furnished no information on which to base a resolution of so much gravity. The correspondence sent to Congress by the State Department he termed as a "dreary record of mutual Incendiarism and assassination." The precedents cited, he said, were extremely unfortunate. "When recognition was accorded to the Southern "States," said he. "the people of the South had possession of every port from the mouth of the Potomac tS the Rio Grande, and had an army against which the combined legions of Caesar and the phalanxes of Alexander would have been utterly unavailing. fApplause.) I have been amazed that an effort has not been made to-dav in this country, by reason of what was done in Barcelona on yesterday, to appeal to the war spirit of our countrvmen by arousing a torrent of horror and indignation. (Applause.) No sooner than the incident had occurred yesterday, Spain apologized for the outrage and promised reparation. They may be a hot-blooded people, but there Is in their nature the spirit of ancient chivalry. In reference to the outrages spoken of here and elsewhere I believe that the stories that we have heard are utterly incredible. I do not deny' that atrocities have been committed in this as in other wars, such as occur between men in gallant and manly conflict. Who Is the president of the Cuban republic, so-called? I understand that he is a citizen of the United States, and that he is now in the United States Instead of taking his fate along with the patriots fighting for freedom. Where is the capital? How many have they In arms? Who knows? What great battles have tney fought? Where are their gallant chieftains who have met the enemy in the open plain and foueht as we are accustomed to see heroes fight for freedom? I am not deficient in that patriotism which actuates the gentlemen who are the friends of freedom. But can we." he concluded, "afford to outrage the ethics and decencies which prevail between friendly nations In a cause so momentous as that q! peace?" (Loud applause.) SMITH REPLIES TO TURNER. Mr. Smith, a member of tho foreign affairs committee, in reply to Mr. Turner, said he had listened with profound amazement to the denial of our right under the law of nations to confer on the Insurgents belligerent rights. "The gentleman from Georgia," continued Mr. Smith, "objects because the President of the new republic Is a foreigner. Would he ask you, Mr. Speaker, to take down that picture of the patriot Lafayette hanging on the wall, a man who came to this coun;ry, God-insplrod. from the land of France t6 lift the banner of freedom during the strugglo for independence of the United States? (Applause.) Would he go out in the statuary hall and pull out of Its place the statue of Pulaski and that of Kosciusko? The Spanish government for many years." concluded Mr. Smith, "was engaged In constructing the palace cf the Escurial In Spain. There were but thtce openings for the ashes of royalty in that Spanish lat home. Sir, all of those clonings have been closed but one, and I hope that one may be filled by the Quven Regent and the young King of that land, and that in the future th'i Spanish people may Join with France and America In upholding the 'most advanced sentiments in the civilized world proclaimed by icnubllcans now and forever guaranteed." (Applause.) Mr. Boutelle was granted three minutes by Mr. Tucker, in charge of the opposition. "I have grave doubts." he said, " to the expediency or propriety of the Houe of Representatives ndoptlng. under a suspension of the rules, a practical declaration of war against a power with which we are now at peace. I am not enamored of the prospect of war. I urn not afraid to stand here and say th.tt I deprecate war. War is horrible, and it Is only to be endured when honor and necessity demand (Continued on Second PazcO

AMERICANS GUARDED

GREAT CARE TAKEN II Y SPAIN TO PREVENT FURTHER OUTRAGES. There Will He No Repetition of the Barcelona Incident If the Authorities Can Prevent- It. STUDENTS STILL EXCITED WASTED TO MOD OUR LEGATION AT 31 ADR ID YESTERDAY, lint the Police Blocked the Streets and Warned the Crowd that Rioters Would Suffer. GENDARMES BUSY ALL DAY STREETS OF SEVERAL CITIES PATROLLED DY MOUNTED OFFICERS. Mob Repeatedly Dlsperned at Barcelona While Asnln Attempting to 4 Wreck Our Consulate. ACTIVITY AT DOCK YARDS SPANISH NAVAL SQUADRON TO RE SENT TO CUBA AT ONCE And Mall Steamers to De Equipped as Auxiliary Cruisers Sentiment at European Capitals. (Special Cable Letter.) MADRID, March 2.--AIthough no American consulates were stoned to-day and the United States legation in this city was not harmed, the feeling of the people against the "insolent Yankees" a term used by the students was as strong as ever. In fact, had it not been for the prompt action of the authorities, it is probable the American minister here and the United States consuls and commercial agents throughout the country would have been grossly insulted and some, 1 perhaps, injured bodily. A number of students, during the afternoon, assembled in front of the university with the purpose of making a demonstration against thj United States and their intention was to mob the 'United States legation. But the authorities got wind of the affair and a strcng force of police was turned out, all the streets leading to the legation were blocked and the students were warned that rioting would be severely punished. Tho same precautions were taken in other cities, and at Barcelona the American consulate was closely guard ed all day. The animosity of the people against the United States is being fed by the newspapers which are printing stinging criticisms of . the action of Congress In adopting res olutions in favor of Cuban belligerency. The newspapers are also catering to national pride by boasting about the prowess of the' Spanish army and navy. The press confirms the report that a Spanish naval squadron, consisting of four cruisers and a dispatch boat, is to be sent to Cuba without delay. In addition, Spanish naval officers and marines are to be attached to the Spanish mail boats, which are to be armed and equipped as auxiliary cruisers. The greatest activity Is being displayed in the govern ment dock yard and every preparation possible Is being made by the naval and military forces for the most serious eventualities. To add to the excitement It was an nounced here this evening that a number of Italian ship owners have offered, in event cf war, to provide Spain with steamships to be used as privateers. This city Is quiet to-night, the ' prompt measures taken by the authorities to sup press all disorders and prevent demonstra tions and the large forces of police present everywhere having proved to the people that lawless acts would not be tolerated. The large Sunday crowds of idlers which lent themselves to every pasing excitement yesterday, have not been a factor In the situation to-day, and most of the people have gone about their usual weekday voca tions. The abortive attempt of disorderly students to make a demonstration before the United States legation has been the only overt act here, though the excitement of the public mind over the Cuban question still runs high. The day has not been so quiet elsewhere In Spain and attempts at noisy demonstrations of protest against the United States are reported from several points. Barcelona has maintained the reputation it made j-ester-day for fomenting unfriendly demonstra Hons against the United States and the mounted gendarmes have been kept busy patrolling tho city and dispersing gatherings of persons plotting to wreak their wrath on the representatives of the United States government in that city. Renewed attempts were made by crowds 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 on 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 tho con su'ate. The Imparcial to-day declares that the utterances of the United States Senate con sist in an "unqualified and unreasoning provocation," adding: "If the desire for war w;as In response to a fault committed by Spain the Senators would be accomplishing their duty. But no provocation .has been g.ven to the United States and the Amerl can3 Judge rashly of the results of a Span ish-American war. The distasteful language of the Senate ought not to surprise any one. United States Senators are accustomed to exchange Insults without crossing swords or exchanging balls. These are the cowards who are seeking war and one awaits death with more coolness with a good conscience than with pocket filled with dollars." In conclusion the Imparcial counsels the Span lards to reserve their strength and energies for an opportune moment. El IJberal says it is Impossible to compare the recognition of the secessionists with the Cubans and, in explaining this assertion, re marks: "Then America warmly con$:ratu lated Spain as a noble and honest friend Can we do the same to the Senate and Presi dent Cleveland?" The Heraldo says that the President of the republic of Ecuador hat asked the Queen Regent of Spain to grant the Independence of. Cuba. The consul for Ecuador says the Heraldo's etory Is untrue. Dispatches received here from Havana say that the newspapers of that city are unanimous In condemning the action of Ui

United States Senate. It is added that the

Liberals declare that bandits cannot bedigerents. General Weyler advises the nhabitants to be prudent Advices received by the Imparcial say that the Cuban In surgents of New York are preparing to issue a loan of $l'.000,noo, of which a portion will be offered, according to the advices, to American Senators and Representatives "on condition that they obtain recognition of the rebels." ! Students Turbulent All D' LONDON, March 3. A Madrid dipa:ch to the Standard says: "The students of the university showed a turbulent disposition ell day, notaoiy when -they learned that police precautions had been taken. The energetic intervention of the rector and of the professors pacified them. The students of Valencia, Barcelona and Granada displayed a similar agitation, which was everywhere suppressed. Many arrests were also made of street disturbers. Unfortunately, the Rejtublicana everywhere are trying to make cjpitil out of the popular agitation, which has in creased on the news of the release of the Bermuda filibusters. The pre3 Is changing its attitude of conciliation, and tho Liberal papers advocate an understanding with the European powers to protect their common colonial invests against the United States. The authorities continue to take extraordinary precautions around the American lega tion. The Governors of several of the prov inces, replying to orders to suppress demon strations, have telegraphed to the government that, in face of the excitement among all classes, it is inadvisable to stop them. ine ran of the bourse was especially heavy in Bank of Spain shares and Cuban bonds." ine standard also has a dispatch from Paris which savs: "it is the irenenil belief here that the resolutions of the Senate will lead to no practical result, save that of increasing the appreciation of 'the wise provision of the United States Constitution which makes the President, and not Congress, the arbiter of peace or war. Diplomats remark that a hot wave has been passing over Washington, to the disturbance of the belief in peace and with marked abrogation irom the reputation or United States statesmanship for calm dignity and shrewdness. The view of the Europe in chancellories is that the United States government has no more rignt to interfere between the Spanish authorities and the insurgents than they would have to interfere in an Insurrection in Jamaica by England or of an uprising on Cayenne and Martinique by France." The Pall Mall Gazette has a dispatch from Madrid which says: "Although Spain recognizes the absolute independence of the American Senators without admitting the possibility of intervention, the Premier intends to point out to the American government the injustice of some of the language of the Senators. He also proposes to point out the ridiculous misrepresentations of the Cuban rebels, whose savage acts, it is claimed, merit the condemnation of civilized nations. For them to be considered on an equal footing wit.h the Spanish troops and to grant such men belligerent rights is considered in some quarters to be simply a pretext for a quarrel with Snain. The government in any case is preparing for all eventualities. The patriotism of the nation has been completely aroused and the authorities and press counsel prudence. At the same time there la a determination to vindicate the nation' honor." GER3IANS A3IAZED. They Think American Have Chnuged Their Time-Honored Policy. . (Copyright, 1S9G, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, March 2. The Intentions of the American government towards the rebellion in Cuba, as indicated by the action of the United States Senate, awaken profound interest and1 whispered discussion here, not only in the press and offlcifil circles, but In all classes of society. The questions involved are not regarded by any means ss being confined in their effects to Spain and the United states. The Cuban resolutions are coupled with President. Cleveland's Venezuelan message In the public mind, uni there seems to be a deep-seated conviction in the European mind 'that these incidents mark a determination on the part of the United States government to depart from Its time-honored courso of nonintervention in European affairs. The American action on the Cuban question is therefore regarded as an event of the first Importance to th European world.' As to the opinion held of It here. It must be said that Germany and Austria s&ind amazed, and neither statesmen nor the public know how to regard what they consider as recent frequent evidences that the United States has formed a new determination to take an active part hereafter in the world's politics. More or less speculation Is given, also, to the manner in which the United States expects to reap profit by Intervening in Cuba, and much of the argument on the question proceeds on the presumption that It Is sought to take Cu'oa from Spain for the purpose of adding It to the United State. It is generally admitted .that as a belligerent force Spain would be no match for (he United States in the event of hostilities arising out of the dispute. When it comes to the met its of the case on which the United States bases its action the opinion holds that Spain's treatment of Cuba !ias been and Is brutal, and such as awakens a sentiment of reprobation. But, looking further to the legal aspects of the case, it is considered that Spain is still within her rights, which are secured to her by international law, in quelling rebellion in any possible way. It is not believed In Berlin tUit Spain will brook any interferenca with her course In Cuba, such as is contemplated by the concurrent resolution of the Senate, and the opinion is generally held by well-informed politicians in the Reichstag and in government circles that the Spanish government will find an ally against the United Sti'cs in Europe should she find herself compelled to fight against the United States. The imbroglio has been the subject of interested discussion in the lobbies of the Reichstag, and one hears widely differing views of It expressed. For example, Herr Richter, the distingueshed Radical leader, paid: "The United States has undoubtedly become a new and hitherto unconsidered factor In International politics. As to the Cuban question Spain would be better off to be rid of Cuba from the financial point of view, as the inland costs her more than it yields. But she would not agree to give it up, for to do so means for her the abdication of all pretension as a great power in Europe." There is great reserve displayed In rovernment circles In expressing opinion on the subject, as was to be expected, and the , portion of the press which has official con nections has been silent. At the Forelcn Oifice, however, it was said that grave fears were entertained there that serious international complications would be the outcome of the attitude of the United States towards Cuba, It may be said In a general way that everywhere astonishment was expressed at the turn taken by American policy. The press is only just beginning to comment on the subject, and obviously does not feel very well informed on It, regarding it as a new subject. A dispatch to the Frankfurter Zeltung frc:n New York says that great distrust has teen created there by the report that secret negotiations are in progress between France nnd Spain, which, it Is stated, rtfer to the diplomatic attitude of France against intervention by Die United State In Cuba. The dispatch aids: "The contingency has been reckoned with in New York of Spain securing the uujort of France by the cession of islands tuch as the iTonaries, or at the expense of Morocco. Many French holders of Spanish and Spin-ish-Cuban loans are urging the French government to protect t.Vm." The Frankfurter Zeltung editorially discredits the disKatch. "France Is too much engaged with er own affairs," tho paper thinks, "to po out of her way to the support of Sjuln." The Vossisciie Zeitung, of this city, maintains a neutral ton In Its comments. Nut says: "Naturally, the provocations offered by tho United States have been keenly Mt in Spain." This Journal also exprcssi.-. the hope that President Cleveland will snevel I;i calming the excitement on t.ie Cur-.an question In Congress and in the Nation. It tinks S;filn might ho willing to sell or v-ede Ctiha to another power to Ik? rid of tho c ml:irriU:mert It cuue .her. The National Zcitung utters a warning to Its readers agains-t undervaluing the mem. Ir.g of the litest manifestation of the Unit?,! States, although it do not mean a decisive plan of action on the part of the United State government. "President Cleveland will doubtless le able to stem popular "xlrejslons of provocation to Spain," the Natioml Zeltung continues, "but he will pro'i-

THE SENATE'S ACTION. No Attention Likely to Be Pnid to the ' Note Friendly Letter from Minister Dnpy De Lome. . WASHINGTON, March 2. The Spanish government took stops very promptly to make amends to the Unite 1 States for ta outburst of mob violence at Barcelona. This action, and especially th fa?t that It was tUten Immediately on news of the afTair reaching the Spanish government and without waiting for any suggestion frcm th United States will ten! greatly to relieve the situation and pre.ent a serious outcome of the mob's attack on our consulate. Tha Intelligence cf the dLavowal by Spain reached the State Department last evening in the fojlowing cablegram from Mr. Hannis Taylor, Unite! States minister at Madril. "The Minister of Stale has Just called to express deep regret thr.t a mob his insultel the Barcelona consulate by breaking windows and off ere .1 complete reparation. Ha informed me that the government, on its own motion, ha taken every' precaution, to guard the legation and my residence. I have asked no protection." It is in part perhaps owing to these otticlal advices that the excitement in Spala , over the action of the United States Senate leading up to the insult of the United States cons-uiate at Barcelona fails to finj a corresponding reflex in Washington, at least. In official circles, and almont everywhere tho feeling L general that the affair is not one which r.ccessarily must lead to hostilities.' Frcm the terms of Minister Tay lor's message It woull :vem fnit either himself or United State Consul Bowc-n. xt Barcelona, had previously cabled a brief statement of the attack upon the consalate, but if so the message coull not le obtained here for publication. However that may be. it is certain that the Spanish minister here. Senor De Lome, was early informed of the trouble At home and lost no time yesterday in communicating to Secretary Olney the facts, with an assurance that his government could be relied on to do everything the proprieties require! to atone for Th Insult oflcrcl to our consulate. Of course. President Clevelanl was at once advise J cf the state cf affairs in Spain and later . in the evening Secretary Olney communicate! the facts to a few members of tl Cabinet at his own house, where they hal gathered for dinner. The best Indication that r.o serious troublt is expected to follow this Barcelona incident is afforded by the course of affairs in th navy and war departments, which Tan along this morning In the (u?ual quiet and formil manner, without tho tightest lgn of preparation of ships or troops or military stores, which might be expected if it were felt that an emergency existed. The prompt action 0! the Spanish government In .so completely meeting the demand of outraged International etiquette, no docbt, is the reason for The assumption by our government of this erene and forbearing attitude, and. In view of the thoroughness of the apology for an incident that was clearly without official ranetlon, an! is chargeable to irresponsible students on a holiday, I: is improbable that our government will take further notice of the affair beyond instructing Minlter Taylor to acknowledge in suitable terms our acceptance of the Spanish disclaimer. The news of the Spanish disavowal was read with interest by Senators and Representatives. Senator Gray, of the foreign relations corrmltttee, said that course was thn only one for Spain to pursue. He added that It was not the place of tho United States, a big. strong nation, to become excited over th ebullitions of the people of Spain, bu: cal.nl end dispassionately to do our duty without regard to anything that might be done by tha people of certain communities in Spain."

March 2.The SpanishAmerican situation growing out of the reports of the riots In Barcelona and other, cities In Hpaln, was regarded no s rlou'ly by the President that a sjKclal meeting of the Cabinet was held last night, though the call was lrUHd under the gul of a dinner at Secretary Olney' residence. This ellnn r conference lasted until aftcr 10 o'clock. During the dinner Secretary Olney produced some very Important information that had come to him by cable. He read a letter from Minister De Ixm , the Spanish Minister, Inclosing a cable message lie had rceivel from his gover.nn'-nt. This mcssaRC directed the Spanish mini.' ter to Inform the United S;aks government that Spain excrtlrur all hrr power to amply protect the United States legation and consuls and that he could give assjranets that they would le protected from any harm.
