The trouble did not arias out of the
spontaneous formation of the mob which
Cid the violence. but was the outcome of.
lvullllt‘ meeting. which had been influenced
by forvid speeches.
The public demonstration to protest.
against the Valued Statcs' action won or-
ganized by the political leaders, lncludln‘
lttqmbllcans and men of all shades of po-
litical sentiment. «
It was in the afternoon when the meet-
Ing bad assembled, and there were
mono people present, all in a, at of
high patriotic enthusiasm and ripe {or
any manifestation of the emotions which
possessed thorn.
They were addressed by the orator: p204
vlded for the occasion, and the purpose of
the meeting was explained as one of pr!»
test agaitist tho recognition of the Cuban
government as a belligerent power by the
Fulton States senate. The spirit 0! the
crowd took fire, and they set at! for the
l'nlted States consulate.
The Mob Wu Farina“.
The leaders who had originated 1“.
meeting seem to have realized the lotion!
consequences that might. follow upon a ..
demonstration that took this direction,
and they made every effort. to dissuade the
mob from its purpose. But their utmost
etlorts were of no avail, and the crowd let
off for the United States consulate.
The authorities had by this time taken
alarm, and a force of police was sent. to
the consulate. The excited crowd was not;
intimidated by this show of force from
gathering lwforo the consulate and about-
ing “Long live Spain '." and “Down with
the Yankees 5”
These verbal missiles did not long until-
fy tho aroused passions of the mob. and in
a short- time stones hogan flying from the
mob. which broke a number of windows
in the United States consulate.
The force. of police Waited for no fur-
ther manifestation. but charged the crowd
under the orders of their officers and
roughly dispersed them, wounding sever
al. So for us learned, there were no fatal
results.
Being driven away from the United
States consulate. the crowd marched OK
to the prefecture of police and gathered at
- the newspaper oiliccs. There they listened
' to morn perfervld oratory and got them-
selves worked tip to the highest pitch of
enthusiasm and patriotic spirit.
The Military club in the city was also
a center of excitement. and there also
glowing speeches were indulged in to the
honor of the army. which were eagerly lir-
tened to and greeted with..lond cheers.
The majority of those who took part In
the disorders are found to have been stu-
dents. and they were most persistent in
keeping up the disorders.
The. police were obliged to charge the
. crowds again and again before they suc-
ceeded in clearing the streets of the riot?

Public Excitement In Madrid.
Maroon, March 2.—lt one may judge
by tho things that have been said and
some of the things that have been done,
the Spanish peoilo are enthudlustioully
determined to g to war forthwith with
the l'nited States and to speedily avenge
the insult which. it is fancied. has been
oiTercd to the haughty pride of Spain by
tho I‘nitctl States senate in determining
torocognim the Cuban provisional gov-
ernment as a belligerent power and to ask
the president to use his good utilces with
Spain to obtain recognition of Cuban in-
dependence. _
Some of the organs of public opinion
‘ declare that the bankruptcy of the Span-
ish government would not. prevent. the
Spanish people from taking up the quar-
rel on their own account and fitting out
expeditious and maintaining themselves
, at their own expense while combating the
- insolcnec of the assertions of the United
States.
The day has been characterized by
many manifestations of public wrath and
excitement, and in Barcelona the Span-
iards have gone to the extreme of using
violence upon the consulate of the United
States and stening it. breaking several
windows in the building. No bodily harm
was done to anyhody‘excopt. to ’oertaln
members of the crowd, which was charged
by the police when the stones werethrown
at the United States consulate.
There seems to have been a notable In-
crease of excitement and patriotic ardor
mnong the people since the news of the
scnate’s action was first made known.
Such a stress of feeling as now exists, if it
continues for any length of time, cannot
but afiord a serious menace to the peace-
f ul relations of the two countries.
The Spanish authorities seem to have
felt apprehensive of the form the people's
wrath might. take and provided special
safeguards for the suppression of disor—
ders, and especially for the protection of
any otliclai representative of the United
States government.
“'nrlike Preparations.
Tho preparations of the government are
not all of a peaceful character, however.
It. is significant that the minister of mu-
rlnc, Admiral Jose Maria Bernnger. has
ixsucd orders for the training squadron to
be prepared to soil. It is regarded as prob:
able that this squadron will proceed M
ly to Cuba.
It has been ordered that all other we!-
ships available he. forthwith armed tad
equipped and put. into condition form
service. In addition to this about 50.1110!-
cbant steamers. available 'for the/hem: :, I
ment service, will be provided with non!
armaments.
For the milltaryxbranch of the service I
fresh expedition of 20,000 ’infentry I“
5,000 cavalry will be equipped and pnton
a war footing and will be kept in m
ness to leave on the shortest notice. .
