A Decision Involving Over 815,000,000 Rendered In Her Favor. WASHINGTON, March 3.—The supreme, court todaygdccided the Stanford case in‘ favor of Mrs. Stanford. - The title of this case was the United States versus Jane L. Stanford, executrix of Leland Stanford. deceased. It involved the individual liability of stockholders in the Central Pacific Railroad company for the debt due the United States on the. bonds issued in ‘aid of the Central Pacific under the California constitution. Mr. Stanford held 144.387 shares of the Gen- MRS. LELAND STA NFOH D. tral Pacific stock, and it was claimed by the government instituting its suit that the government was entitled to collect $15,237,000 from the Stanford estate. This contention was resisted by Mrs. Stanford on the ground that the California consti- tution was notself executing. and also on the plea that itwas not the intention of congress in granting aid to the Central Pacific company to put it on a footing dif- ferent from the footing on which other government aided "roads were placed. The case was brought originally in the circuit court for the California. district, where the decision was favorable to Mrs. Stanford, and was then appealed “to the circuit court of appeals for the ninth cir- cuit, where the decision was also against the government. The government then appealed to the United States supreme court. Eruger's Demands.

Dispatches received here from Havana say that the newspapers of that city are unanimous in condemning the action of the United States senate. It is added that the Liberals declare that “bandits cannot be belligerents. ” General Weyler advises the inhabitants " to be prudent. The Barcelona Outbreak. BARCELONA, March 3.——The persons who took part in the disorderly demon- strations of anti—American feeling have, clearly had the sympathies of the people with them. The onlookers from the neighboring houses cheered them with the greatest enthusiasm. The balconies and windows were filled with ladies waving their handkerchicfs as the students passed through the streets. When they arrived before the United States consulate, they found that a strong body of'police had occupied the entrance of the staircase leading to the roof of the consulate. The riotous students tried to force an entrance here, but they were re- pulsed by mounted gcndarmes. A lieu- tenant !of gendarmeric was wounded by a stone thrown from the crowd. The students publicly tore up a number of American flags which they had pur- chased in the town. Excitement In llIadrid. . LONDON, March 3.——The Standard has a dispatch from Madrid. which dwells 'at great length on the indignation excited in all classes -by the action of the United States senate and the unanimity of the press in calling upon the government to tolerate no interference. This dispatch describes the scenes in the streets upon the arrival of the news of the passage of the concurrent resolution of the senate, the people literally snatching the evening edi- tions of the newspapers from the vendors. Forming groups under the lamps, they then read the telegrams aloud. A similar feeling is evinced in the lead- ing towns in the provinces, the officials everywhere expressing their fear of anti- American demonstrations. The Stand- ard’s correspondent adds that the Span- iards are especially incensed because dur- ing the past year the government has done its utmost to conciliate the United States by settling all outstanding American claims. besides making concessions to American trade in the Cuban tariff, etc. “The Spaniards were led to suppose.” this correspondent continues, “that the insurgents did not command serious sup- port in America, when President Cleve- land, his ministers and the federal author- ities were affording the Spanish legation and consulates every facility to check fili- bustering expeditions and the notorious preparations by Cuban refugees. “In financial circles there is an even greater impression, because the Spanish business men are more alive than the pol— iticians and officers to the consequences on Spanish finance from _the moment Ameri- can interference obliges Spain to augment her already costly naval and military armaments. All securities have fallen heavily, and foreign exchanges have hard- ened. The monthly settlement on the bourse was rendered difficult. Is Spain \Veakening? “Most of the party leaders condemn the senate’s action as unwarranted by int-er- national law. Senor Pi y Margall, chief of the federal Republicans, says that Spain has the remedy in her own hands by grant- ing Cuban home rule and ending the war by a treaty with the insurgents. Senor Salmeron and other Republican statesmen and the Marquis Ceralbo, chief representa- tive of Don Carlos, agree to loyally co-op- crate with the government in defense of Spanish rights against foreign interven- tion. The Liberal party will support any measures to preserve the Spanish rights in Cuba. "‘1 am able to state that Spain intends to follow the same course that America did when the European governments rec- ognized the belligerency of the south dur- ing the secession war should President Cleveland carry out the senate’s resolu- tion. Meantime fourironclads, two cruis- ers and several gunboats will be sent to Cuba. ‘ “The coast defenses of Cuba,” the cor- respondent concludes, “Will be increased. Orders have been issued to prevent dem- onstrations throughout the country.” The Standard says in an editorial on the above dispatch: “We cannot be surprised at the strong feeling evoked, even granting for argu- ment’s sake that the United States had the right to interfere. The language which the senators used was almost reck- lessly offensive. If President Cleveland is compelled! to act, his task is rendered al- most hopeless by the extravagance of American sympathizers with the insur- gents. Spanish statesmen are urging their countrymen to keep cool. It would be well if America would follow their example. Neither nation has anything to gain by allowing the dispute to develop into an open conflict. We hope that Pres- ident Cleveland will do nothing further to exasperate a sensitive people. The Americans may dismiss as an idle dream Advertise in tl'é—GI'z—n'm. mollsigirintu smmuntum lsrlmlulufialz M | I. D at 'r R A F I u a a than [if I 'llll'llllli l IRE AMERIEAI THEMED CHMPANY.

A New York dispatch to The Daily News calls the Cuban resolution an election ma- neuver, and says, “President Cleveland will not act hastily, if at all.” The Daily News also says in an editori- al: “There are many reasons why the pres— ident should not act hastily. In the pres- ent fierce temper of the Spanish people the recognition of belligerency would almost certainly lend to war, though the ultimate issue could not be doubtful if the. Ameri- cans put their whole heart into the busi- ness. It would be difficult to get them tc do that. They probably would feel little enthusiasm for a war not involving the national security or honor. General Cam- pos. thought that recognition would be a blessing in disguise, because if the United States sent- troops to Cuba there would be regular battles instead of skirmishes. Emilio Castelar has‘ said that the whole American army. navy and militia would be inadequate for such an enterpirso. Ca- novas del Castillo has recommended an al- liance between Spain and Mexico to coun- teract American designs. This risk of an alliance would be anticipated in America by the suggestion of an alliance between Cuba and Mexico. but Mexico does not take kindly to this project.” An editorial in The Chronicle says: “Spain seems to be losing her head. She had better restrain h'rr-‘elf. No great harm has been done. if General Weyler suppresses this rebellion in a few months, the Cuban question will retire into the background until the next revolution comes. Spain cannot afford to hold out forever against the western world. She must remember what she has lost by a too rigid adherence to mere rights of occupa- tion. Will she throw away Cuba, one of ' the few relics of her grand western em- pire? If it comes to a struggle, America could wipe Spain off the earth either by sea or land.” The Post Com-mends Us! The Morning Post’seditorial commends America’s prudent attitude throughout the rebellion and believes that President Cleveland will only abandon neutrality with extreme reluctance. “He may, how- ever, feel himself compelled,” The Post adds, “to find an outlet for the aggressive feeling previously directed against Eng- land. The best issue would be that Gen- eral Weyler should crush the rebellion and that Spain should grant autonomy to Cuba.” The Graphic describes America’s action as a mere jingo subterfuge. “No Ameri- can will say,” The Graphic continues, “that Maceo has achieved any success jus- tifying such a measure as the action of the senate, which has its root less in human sympathy than in the mischievous spirit evoked by Mr. Olney’s new Monroe doc- trine.” Spain llIakes Amends. WASHINGTON, March 3.—The. Spanish government took steps very promptly to disavow and make amends to the United States for the outbreak of mob violence yesterday at Barcelona. This action, and especially the fact that it was taken im- mediately after news of_ the_ affair rea_c_hed the Spanish governanfithvithout waiting for any suggestion from the United States, ‘ will tend greatly to relieve the situation and prevent a serious outcome of the mob’s attack on our consulate. The in- telligence of disavowal by Spain reached the state department early this morning in a cable dispatch from Minister Taylor. The dispatch was dated yesterday and says that the Spanish minister of state has ex- pressed regret for the Barcelona affair and has offered complete reparation. It also said that measures have been taken to se- cure protection for the United States le- gation at Madrid.
