Barcelona, March 2. —The fever of In
dignation and bate against the Unit.*!
States which seems to have taken pos
session of tbe heart of all Spain over
the action of the United States senate
iu recognizing the provisional govern
ment of Cuba as belligerents, and in
calling ujxrn President Cleveland to use
his good offices with Spain to secure
the indejiendence of Cuba, culminated
in violent scenes here Sunday and an
attack ujxin the United States con
sulate.
Madrid, March 2.—Dispatches from
Barcelona state that an attack has been
riade ujxin the United States consulate
i>i that city, notwithstanding the fact
that the building was guarded. Dur
ing the day a procession comprising
10,000 persons, headed by four repub
lican members of the chamber of depu
ties, paraded through the principal
streets of the city ns a demonstration
against the action of tbe American sen
ate. A strong guard had been placed
about the American consulate in an
ticipation ol .rouble As the proces
sion pnssed it there were some derisive
cries and cat-calls. The crowd tried to
force its way into the building, but the
police and gendarmes succeeded In driv
ing them away, but net until they had
been forced to chargj upon the mob
with drawn sabers.
Htronß Protest.
While this trouble was going on, th*?
main body of the procession continued
Its march to the town nail, where the
leaders of the d *mo-.istration h inded to
tl mayor a strongly-worded protest
gainst the action of the Ameiican sen
ate. nnd also against the speeches that
had been, delivered therein on the Cu
ban question; it being declared that
some of the sjieakers had grossly in
sulted Spain and the fawnish govern
ment, in defending Cuban bandits and
outlaws.
Stoned the ('onsnlste.
Subsequently a great crowd as
sembled in the Plaza Cataluna, and a
number of patriotic speeches were de
livered. The crowd became greatly ex
cited by the burning oratory of the
speakers, and after the meeting had
broken up, a large numlier of those
who hod listened to the words glorify
ing Spain and denouncing the United
States proceeded to the American con
sulate, where they gave vent to their
patriotism by stoning the building,
much to the damage of windows there
of. As in previous mob demonstrations
in Barcelona, the police were almost
impotent to disperse the rioters, who
did about as they pleased.
Stun and Strip** Dluhonorod.
In the evening there was another out
burst of disapjiroval of the United
States and nil things American. This
time it took the form of publicly dis
honoring the American flng. The riot
ers had purchased somewhere n large
American Hag, which, after it had been
dragged through the streets, was pulled
to pieces amid cries of “Long live
Sjiain,” and “Down with the Ameri
cans.” There Is still much excitement
in the city.
After this outrage on the American
fag, the mob became irore violent, and
a proposition to make a *urther demon
stration against the American con
sulate was speedily acted upon. The
mob proceeded to the coutulnte, In the
meantime arming themselves with
stones. Arriving at the consulate a per
fect volley of missiles was directed
against the shield over the doorway
benring the American eoat of arms,
which was battered almost to pines.
The mob iu some way became possessed
of several American flags, which were
destroyed amid rilinld jests and expres
ions of contempt for the nation they
represented.
Mob Dispersed.
The situation was becoming more and
more threatening, when reinforcements
for the guards at the consulate arrived
in the slini>e of a detachment of mount
ed gendarmes. The crowd was ordered
to disperse, which they sullenly refused
to do, vvhereujKin the gendarmes
charged them with drawn swords and
jiut them to flight. Several of the riot
ers were injured by being tramjiled
cn. Until a late hour the boulevards
were thronged by nn excited crowd
singing th.* “Marseillaise” and patri
otic Spanish songs.
Bitter rn-llng In Madrid.
Popular feeling here is bitter against
the United States because of the ac
tion of the senate in adopting a reso
lution favoring the granting of bel
ligerent rights to the Cuban rzbels.
As stated in the dispatches Saturday
night, the stock market here respond
ed to the excitement, nnd there was a
material decline in purely Spanish and
Cuban securities. In view of the finan
cial difficulties under which the gov
ernment is Inboring, this is a most un
fortunate time for Spanish securities
to decline in value.
Preparing for Trouble.
Tlie action of Admiral Berenger, min
ister of marine, in ordering the sjieejy
preparation of six warships nnd some
of the naval reserve vessels of the Span
sh trans-Atlnntic comjinny for dispatch
:o the Bahama channel meets with
learty approval. It is very evident
that, despite Prime Minister Canovaa
del Castillo's declaration that if Presi
lent Cleveland should be compelled to
indorse the action of congress it would
not provoke an international conflict
nor interrupt tlie friendly relations ex
isting between Spain and the United
States, the government is doing its ut
most to prepare against any jiossible
contingency. In addition to the war*
shijis Petayo, Vizcaya, Oyuendo, Marin
Teresa, Lepauto nnd Alfonso XIII., the
ministry of marine has ordered that,
several torpedo boats, nnd one torpedo
catcher be made ready for immediate
dispatch in the event of the United
States acknowledging the Cubans as
belligerents.
Acting under Instructions from the
government, no group of persons is al
lowed to approach the United States
legation or the bouse occupied by Min
ister Taylor.
Quiet In Havana.
Havana, March 2.—There has been
absolutely no outward demonstra'.ion
of feeling against Americans here.
The city is remarkably quiet. Marquis
de Paliuerola. secretary to the go •ernor
general. s[leaking for the gover.int*nt,
said that no manifestation w< uid be
jienuitted. The authorities were pre
pured to check any disturbance. They
would follow the example of the central

PROMPT TO APOLOGIZE.
Complete Reparation Is Offered for the
Insult at Barcelona.
Washington, March 3.—A cablegram
from our minister to Spain, Hon. Hun
uis Taylor, received early on Monday
morning, informed Secretary Olncy
that the Spanish government had
promptly disavowed any responsibility
for the unfortunate riot at Barcelona
on Sunday, during which \ m«b made
a vicious assault on the Amer
ican consulate. In addition to an
expression of deep regret over
the occurrence, the government of
ferea to make complete rejiaration.
Secretary Olncy ’aid the dispntrh be
fore President Cleveland early Monday
morning and on his return to the de-
partment he gave jt to the press. The
dispatch follows:
“Minister of stste has Just called to
expreaa deep regret that mob haa In
sulted Barcelona consulate—brea’-tn* wln
dowa—and offered complete repar u ton. He
Informed me that government on tta
own motion had taken every precaution
to guard legation and my residence.
I have Baked no protection.”
l’rior to tbe receipt of the dis
patch, messages reporting the assaui 9
on the Barcelona consulate had been rc
ceived from both Minister Taylor anc
Mr. Herbert Bowen, the consul at
Barcelona. Senor Depuy de Lome, the
Sjianish minister, also was informed of
the news and he waived ceremony and
called on Secretary Olney at his resi
dence Sunday to express, in advance of
instructions, the regret of his govern
ment over the occurrence. These in
dications of the desire of the Spanish
government to make every amend for
the insult on the consulate were care
fully considered by the president and
Secretary Olney at the conference Mon
day morning. They were convinced
that no affront had been given for which
the- government was responsible and it
is understood that Secretury Olney ha*
sent a dispatch to Minister Tuylor In
structing him to make known to the
Spanish authorities the appreciation of
this government of their prompt dis
avowal of the insult.
The incident Is believed in offielnl
circles to be practically ended with
Spain's repudiation of any responsibili
ty for the attack of the mob and her
evident desire to do all that is possible
to make amends satisfactory to the
United Stales.

the leaders, ile announced the d-feision
to start such a movement Saturday,
but it will be several weeks before he
can tell just on what lines the work
will be undertaken. The deposed com
mander said in regard to the matter:
"I have received a large number of let
ters and telegrams from people In all parts
»t the country, many of them auxiliary
members of the Salvation Army. The
practically unanimous sentiment express-* 1
In them Is that Mrs. Booth and I should
organise and lead an Independent religious
movement. Both Mrs. Booth and myself
are strongly Inclined to comply with thesa
demands; In fact, I may say that such in
organization will be established.
'•Considerable time Is needed, however,
to perfect the plans and details of such a
widespread movement. It will be essen
tially American In character, and we have
already received most cordial assurances
of support from men and women of prom
inence In all walks of life. Although most
of our former associates In the army have
given their allegiance to the new com
missioner, they are watching every move
ment made oy us with the deepest Interest,
from nr.ny of them I have received mes
sages assuring me of their personal devo
tion.
In another lengthy address—issued
Sunday night—Bailington Booth con
firms the statement that he and Mrs.
Booth will inaugurate a movement in
America which will afford them vn op
portunity to continue their labors for
the uplifting of the unchristianized peo

"It is farthest from our desire that such
a new and independent movement
should be hostile to the one we have
labored so long and so hard to up
build.”

STATE OF TRADE.
The Bustne*. Situation Shows No Mate
rial Improvement.
New York. Feb. 29. —R. G. Dun & Co.,
In tbeir weekly review of trade, say:
"In some quarters business gains at the
west, rather than at the east, but there Is
no general change for the better, although
hopefulness still predominates. Foreign
affairs grow more pacific, public opinion
turns more resolutely toward sound money,
but the want of sufficient demand for the
products of great Industries still retards
actual lmp.-ovement. Strikes of some Im
portance m garment making and kindred
lines affect trade In Chicago and Balti
more, but there are fewer labor difficulties
than usual, as existing conditions warn
wage-earners that controversies at this
time arc unwise. Speculative markets
show Ultlo life. The volume of business
does not improve. Exchanges through the
principal electing houses show IS. 7 per cent,
gain over las’ year, but the month’s com
parison with D 93 Is the only instructive one,
-nd ih« vs a decrease ot 20.7 for February.
‘Wheat nas taken a flight upward, ad
vr cing 3S» cents for cash and 2»* for May,
with rumors of foreign supplies as the only
basis. Estimates of wheat in farmers'
hands are lower than last year, but still
Indicate, with visible stocks, a supply much
beyond probable need? Cotton has been
weaker, with only fair ,-ceipts. the Im
portant decline In goods having much In
fluence. The price of middling uplands de
clined a sixteenth, and preparation for a
large Increase of acreage Is still reported.
The market for textile goods 1s disappoint
ing. Woolen mills are receiving consider
able orders for goods, but business for
the future does not mend. The feature In
the Iron market has been the large demand
for wrought and cast pipe. Large orders
for structural work are received at Chi
cago and expected at the east, as building
plans are unusually large, but sheets sell
slowly at J rails very little.
"Exports of domestic prod lets from New
York for three weeks show a gain of 1«>
per cent, over last year, while imports In
the same time scarcely Increase. But ex
port bills are diminishing rapidly at this
season, while later imports naturally come
In succeeding months, and many security
Utils have to be met In the near future.
It is therefore believed by many that gold
exjiorts are not far off.
"Failures In three weeks of February
show liabilities of 310,889,936, against 38,-
523.02 S last year, and 311.420,418 In 1894.
Failures for the week have been 27s In the
United States, against 250 la a t year, and

Bupreme Court Derides Against stubborn
Witnesses.
Washington, March 2.—One of the
most important decisions ever made by
the supreme court was handed down
to-day. It will put new life into the
interstate commerce aet and create a
great sensation in railway circles. The
power of the government to compel
witnesses to testify ot to send them to
jail will be established by thu de
cision. The court announces a de
cision in favor of the government :n the
famous Brown case from I’ittsb-irgn.
This is nn interstate commerce case.
Upon the decision rests the power of the
government to regulate commerce.
Heretofore the government has been
unable to compel witnesses to testify.
1 hus its attorneys were unable to se
cure evidence to enforce the laws regu
lating commerce. Hereafter any mau,
no matter who he is, can be required to
give evidence, even if it incriminates
himself. If he refuses, he can b.: sent
to jail for contempt of court, to remain
until he changes his mind.
A witness, however, giving testimony
against himself is by his own voice ab
solved from guilt and cannot be pun
ished, but his evid b. 3 can bo used
against his associates. This was the
f.iiu of the act of February 11, 1893,
which was passed especially for the aid
of the interstate commerce comm.ssion.
This act of February 11 :.i who'ly sus
tained and declared constitutional by
the decision just rendered. It
was the real point at Issue.

diseases and from want of food. Relief
expeditions are fitting out as fast as
possible. The progress is, however, nec
essarily slow and uncertain, beenvse
the valleys are deep in mud and almost
Impassable while the mountains are

Boston, March 3. —The freshet
throughout New England has dons
damage Leyond estimate. The rain has

night a bowling blizzard set in. Rail
road travel in all directions ia sus

REGISTERING SUNSHINE.
Lmlm’i Dally Share la Two aad Oa*>
naif Boars.
The heliograph, although not of re*
cent invention. Is now coming more gen
erally Into use, since *he Importance of
registering *he nr. er of hours of
dsily aun*uine becomes more popularly
apprecir.:ed. A recent publication of
Prof. Kremscr estimates the number of
heliographs now in use at about 50 in
Great Britain, 30 in Germany, 25 in
France, 18 in Austria, 10 in Italy and IS
In Switzerland. The apparatus is auto
matic. Sunshine registers iteelf
through lensee, for as soon as the sun
comes out of the clouds sufficiently It
will burn a paper underneath the lens,
leaving a black mark thereon. Since
the hours of the day are marked on tho
paper. It w ill be apparent with approxi
mate exactness how many hours each
day the sun really shone. The result*
ore very surprising iudeed; so, for ,n
---stance. the daily average of sunshine
lor several ye» -s amounted in Scotland
to 2 hours; Ireland, 3% hours; England,
4 hours; Germany, 4’/ t hours; France,
6 hour*; in Switzerland, 5% hours; in
Austria, 6 hours and in Spain, 7£
hours. It is shown that there is more
sunshine in the south than there is in
the north, and also more in the east of
Europe than in the west; nenr moun
tains the frequency of fog lessens the
heurs of sunshine. Thus the observa
tory on Ben Nevis si \vs less than one
and one-half hours—almost an hour less
than elsewhere in Scotland. Theform
otion of rmoke near great cities and
manufacturing centers also lessens the
hours of sunshine. The interior of
London shows but 2% hours, against an
average of 3*4 hours in Greenwich and
4 to 4\’ s hours elsewhere in southern
England.
