Senate Cuban Resolutions Do clared to be an Insult. The Spanish Admiral Orders Speedy ) Preparation of .War Ships Anil Some of the Ifajal Eosorvo forDU- patch to tho llahnma Channel Tliu American Consulate llulldlne; ' at Barcelona Attacked by a Mob. Madrid, March 2. Popular feeling hero is bitter against tho United States because of the action of tho senato in adopting a resolution favoring' th6 granting of belligerent rights to the Cuban rebels. As stated in tho United Press dispatches Saturday night' the stock market hero responded to tho ex citement and there was &y material do clino in purely Spanish and, Cuban se curities. In view of the financial diffi culties under which tho government is laboring, this is u most unfortunate timo for Spanish securities to decline in' value. Tho action of Adm. Berenger, minis ter of marine, in ordering tho speedy preparation of six warships and some of the naval reserve vessels of the Spanish trans-Atlantio company for dispatch to the Bahama channel, meets with hearty approval. It is very evi dent that, despite Primo Minister Cano vas Del Castillos' declaration Saturday that if President Cleveland should be coiflpelled to endorse the action of con gress it would not provoke, an inter national conflict nor interrupt tho friendly relations' existing between Spain and the United States, the gov ernment is doing' its utmost to prepare against any possible contingency. , The duke of Tctaun, minister of for eign affairs, has sent a long cable dis patch'to Scnor Dunuy do Lome, Spanish ambassador at Washington, instructing him to present to tho American govern-" ment a formal reclamation against the insult. , Oil Sunday a great crowd assem bled in the Plaza Catalina and a num ber of patriotic speeches wero deliv ered. Tho crowd became greatly ex cited by the burning oratory of tho speakers, and after the meeting had broken up, a largo number of those who had listened to the words glorify ing Spain and denouncing the United . States proceeded to the American con sulate where they gave vqnt to their .patriotism by stoning tho building much to tho damage of the windows thereof. As in previous mob demonstrations in Barcelona, the police wero almost im potent to disperse tho rioters, who did about as they pleased. In the evening thero was another out burst of disapproval of the United States and all things American. This time it took the form of publicly dis honoring tho American flag. The riot ers had purchased somewhere a largo American ilag, which, after it had been dragged through tho streets, was pulled to pieces amid cries of. '"Long Live Spain," and' "Down with tho Ameri cans." There is still much excitement in the city. After this outrage on tho American flacr the mob became more violent and a proposition to make a further demon- stration against the American con sulate was speedily acted upon. Tho mob proceeded to the con- Gultltc, in tho meantime arming ' themselves with stones. Arriving at tho- consulate a perfect volley of mis siles was directed against the shield over the doorway bearing tho American coat of arms, which was battered al most to pieces. TJic mob in some- way became posse.ssed'of sevcra American Jlags,which were desti oyed amid rib.ild jests and expressions of contempt for tho nation they reiresonted. THE UNITED" STATES May DiMiuiml an Apology for the Outrage at Iturcrlonu. Washing ror, March 2. Intense in terest centered hero Sunday night in tho dispatcher bliowing tho demonstra tive feelings existing in Spain against tho Americans regarding the Cuban question, and the statements that the government is increasing its naval force. The violation of the consulate of tho United States at Barcelona makes a dis avowal necessary by Spain and tho United States piobably will inquire of tho Spanish government what amends will bo made. The case finds an analagous one iu an event which occurred in' this country probably ,.00 years ago, when a mob of persons in Now Orleans assaulted the Spanish consulate at a timo when tho Florida question was uppermost in the public mind. It was a .case of mob violence and thq government of y-a United States made compensation to 'Spain for ho damage done. Held Up by a Maslted Man. St. Louis, March 2. Wm. II.
