University at Salamanca Closed.

Madrid, March 10. —There was a serious anti-American riot at Salamanca yesterday evening. The students, as usual, were the leaders of the disturbance. They carried Spanish and American flags and burned the latter amid the acclamations of the crowds which gathered to witness the “patrio'ic” den.cnstration. Finally the prefect was compelled to call upon the police for protection and the gendarmes charged the riotous students, who met the onslaught with showers of stones. Order, however, was finally restored, and the i Diversity was closed.
