nOMK , March 4. The kingdom of Italy Is
In n condition of excitement , grief and anger
almost beyond description. Words cannot
adequately portray the situation , for every
dispatch received from Massowah adds to
the gravity ot the disaster to the Italian
nrmy at Adowa , Abyssinia.
When the first news of General Baratlerl's
defeat reached this city report had It that
only BOO iron were killed ; then yesterday
afternoon the numbers ran up to 3,000 killed ,
with sixty pieces of artillery captured , and
this morning's dispatches place the number
ot Italians killed nt the battle of Adowa and
In the long , harassing retreat which fol
lowed at 0,000. and It Is believed that not
even these figures tell Df the full extent ct
tlio disaster.
In these reprrts no mention Is made of the
wounded , and there Is good reason , based on
stories of recent Italian defeats by the
Abysslnlans , to believe that those who fell
wounded during the retreat of over fifty
miles , mot a more horrible fate than those
who wore killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison here
was kept under arms and mounted patrols
traversed the principal streets. The masses ,
however , do not seem to have retired to rest.
The streets were filled with people until day
break , and "aftor early morning every pub-
llo place was crowded with excited men and
women. A number of disturbances which
have callol for police Intcrferenco have oc-
A. i . ! tnitn nlirl fhn ( nfll/tfltlnnv ft r A t hflf
people are nssumlng n most threatening atti
tude not only In Rome but throughout
Italy. Demonstrations against Crlspl's min
istry and oven apalnst the crown are re
ported from a number of towns In the
provinces. In spite of the fact that the au-
thor'tlcs are straining every nerve to sup
press all alarming news. It' Is s'ald that the
g vernmeni was aware on Tuesday of the
full extent of the defeat Inflicted upon the
Italians , but It was Judged to bo dangerous
to allow he startling Information to jeach
the public suddenly , and so first the re
port of the defect was permitted to leak out ,
then the war officials allowed It to bo
"rumored" that BOO men were killed ; after
this came the report that 3,000 .soldiers had
fallen , and n'w It Is "admitted" that 5,000
Italian troops were slain. In addition to
largo loss among the native troops serving
under the- flag of Italy. Under these cir
cumstances It Is not astonishing that the
wildest kind of rumors are In circulation and
that In uome of the clubs the number ot
killed and wounded Is placed at 10,000. Ex
aggerated as these figures may turn out to
bo they show the state of the public mind
here.
ROME A CITY OF GRIEF.
All fetes have been Indefinitely postponed ,
masses for the repose cf the souls of the
dead hove been celebrated this morning In
every Catholic church In this city , and crowds
of weeping women and sorrowing men were
In attendance. The receptions , etc. , In cele-
brat'on ' of the co.-onatlon anniversary of the ,
pope have been dispensed with.
Koine , In a word , Is today a city of mourn
ing and of sullen anger , ready to break out
Into fierce , open rcsentment. , The. govern
ment and the military authorities are charged
with gross mismanagement ot the .Abyssinian
campaign , and great Indignation Is expressed
against the newspapers which have been
goading General Baratlcrl Into action by
taunting him with his Inactivity. It is also
said now that the Italian commander was
led Into a trap , skillfully baited by thn re
port which was allowed to reach him that a
number of the Important chiefs of the Shoans ,
attended by u portion of the Shoan army ,
were attending the coronation of King Ncg-js
at Axun , and that , hoping to surprise those
who remained behind , General Daratlerl or-i
dereJ Generals" Albcrtono , Arlmondl and
Dabormlda to attack the enemy. The latter ,
Itippeirs , pretended to retreat before the
Italian advance until the troops were well
within the passes Into Adowa , the capital of
Tlgro. Then the scene changed. The Shoans ,
armed with the Improved French military
ilflcs , It Is claimed , und supported by mod
ern artillery , directed by French artillery
men , advanced upon the Italians In over
whelming strength. The apparently deserted
passes became nllvo with natives , who hurled
rocks down upon the trapped soldiers , while
others kept a terrible , well-directed flro upon
the troops.
Ugly rumors add that the Itallana broke
and fled nftci making a gallant stand and
seeing thousands of their number shot downer
or crushed to death. Then It Is added , began
the most disastrous defeat In the history of
African warfare , the triumphant Shcans ,
pressing on after the disorganized soldiers ,
cutting them down la great numbers , In
spite of repeated formations of squares. The
troops , In these stands , are said to have bo-
havcd with thp greatest gallantry , but all
the reserve ammunition was captured and
all the Italian provisions and artillery foil
Into the hands ot the enemy. The result
was that a number of the Hall.ui detachments
had only their bayonets with which to de
fend themselves , and , It Is feared , but n
small portion of the Italian force sent agalnet
the Shoans reached Asmara In safety.
The opposition party a nil soclalUts are tak
ing advantage- the situation. The latter ,
especially , nro very bitter against the gov
ernment , <
PEOPLK ARE INDIGNANT.
Later In tlio day news from the provinces
became more alarming. U was stated that
In n number of places the police have been
unable to cope with the populace , and that
the troops have been called upon to rcitoro
order. The holdlcrs , however , appear to
have been ns helpless ns the police , and In
several places crowds have been fired upon ,
At Milan the troops , after vainly trying to
disperse a mob which was making demonstra
tions against the government , were obliged
to lire. Ono man was killed and several
were wounded. This Increased the excite
ment , and report has It that the troops \\cro
stoned , and hud to clear the public rquare
t the point of thebayonet. .
DUpjtctiex ici'clved hero from Venice say
that the inoet Intense excitement prevails
there , and there were a numbr of riotous
demonstration * during the night. An im
mense crowd ot people assembled at the
Piazza St. Mark , and there speeches were
made against thn government , condemning
the manner In which the Abyaslnlan campaign
had been conducted , and calling upon the
military authorities to try General Dara
tlerl by court martial. Thcro was another
popular demonstration nt Venlcu tills morn
ing , and the mob was only disported by
the pollen with the greatest difficulty , and
after a number of arrests had bpcn made.
Advices receive 1 hero from Padua say that
there was n riotous dcmoiibtrutlon today and
that the police- had to Interfere to restore
order. A mob marched through the vtrectv
hooting the government officials and erring
for the downfall of tha Crlspl ministry.
' At Viron& there wan a similar demonstra
tion against the government and n number of
socialists were arrested for utcnlng the police
mid uttering millions cries.
At llovlgo and In f.irt nearly every city
of Importance tliioiiKhnut lUly thu troops
ore confined to the linrruclis today and every
' precaution possible , la being taken to prr > >
, vent disorder , It IB believed , however , that
nothing hhort cf tlio downfall of Sencir
Crltpl and the dispatch of Mrong reinforce
ments ( o Africa will rutUfy public clamor ,
WANT TUB GENERAL SHOT.
1 Shortly before noon today It was announce !
that General Baratlcrl had been recalled to
Homo and that on hi * arrival hero hU con
duct of the present campaign and defeat t
Hdo\v will bo Inquired Into. The uoclul'tts '
teclare th t the generi. ! should bo tliot us
an example to others , and that the minister
of war should share his fate.
General Bnldlsscra , who has assumed com
mand of the Italian troops In Africa , Is pre
paring a report on the battle of Adowa ,
which will bo forwarded as promptly ns pos
sible to the War department here.
The army reserves of 1872 , numbering
about SO.OOO men , are being called to the
standard , but It Is feared thcro will be
serious rioting when the men muster In
largo bodies at their different centers. The
people are murmuring greatly at being de
prived of the heads of families who must
now bo placed under arms and as each hour
passes the situation becomes more and more
perilous. The newspapers as a rule are
filled with abuse of the military authorities
and of condemnation for the manner In
which the Abyssinian campaign has been
conducted. All sorts of charges of gross In-
compctcncy are made and nothing short of
the most thorough public investigation will
satisfy the people.
The war office la receiving dispatches from
all parts of the country , asking for lists
of the killed and wounded , but some time
must elapse before this can be furnished. .
The news of the death of Generals
Albertono and Dabormlda has been confirmed
and It Is believed that over 600 other Italian
officers of lesser rank have been slain.
Further details were received tonight con
cerning the defeat of the Italians nt the
battle of Adowa and they tend to confirm
the most alarming reports circulated , al
though the exact number of men killed Is
not yet announced. General Baratlerl's force
consisted of sixteen battalions of troops
( Italians ) , six battalions ot native troops
nnd twelve batteries of artillery. Since the
defeat no news has been received from Gen
eral Dabormlda's brigade , which was com
posed of seven white battalions and four
batteries of artillery. Generals Albertono
and Arlmondt and their brigades are also
missing and It Is believed that they have
been annihilated.
EXCITEMENT GROWING.
It Is almost Impossible to describe the
state of excitement In Rome this evening
and no such scenes have been witnessed since
the occupat'on ot this city by the Italian
troops. The whole population seems to bo
In the streets nnd the entire police force ,
as well as all th0 troips of the garrison ,
are on duty.
The cabinet ministers have been holding
meetings throughout the day , but so far as
known the king has not yet accepted Pre
mier Crlspl's resignation.
The whole country appears to be as ex
cited as the Inhabitants ot the capital city
and It Is reported that rioting occurred dur
ing the day In the several cities. The press
censor , how-over. Is holding back nil dis
patches liable < o Increase the state ot alarm
prevailing and some time must elapse before
the real truth Is known.
The war office has been besieged during
the day by iTOwds " of people and Is now
surrounded by" troops. The offices and resi
dences of all : ho m'nlsters ' are guarded nnd
the guards at tl < u palace have been doubled.
In the main thoroughfares shouting crowds
assemble every now and then calling for
the downfall of th ministry , only to be dis
persed by the polios. Numerous arrests have
been made .ird tl.o police escorting the pris
oners to ' .he d.KiT'nt de-pots have been In
several cases roughly handled by the mobs.
It is reported : n the cafes that private
dispatches hao bee'i received announcing
serious rioting \t Njplts , Florence and at ,
Venice , but in confltmotion of these reports
can be obtained. The government ofllclals
are maintaining the most strict censorship
over all press dlpiatches between Italian
points and It 's wi'h ' difficulty that nevs
can be filed .ind si'i-t frcm here except und'jr
strong pressure Jr.-m Influential parties.
Thpro was a rerlou * conflict between the
police 'and < i mob as a result of a demo.i-
stratton before the palace. The national flag
was carried dr.iHd and the cries were heard :
"Down with the ministry ! " "Death to Bara-
tlerll' *
STARTLING RUMORS.
The government Is being urged by some
of the most prominent men In the country
to give to the press all the news In Its
posscss'on , as It Is still believed that the
worst has not yet been told and that the
war office Is In possession of facts still
more startling than those which have already
leaked out. One rumor tonight has It that
the cntlrs Italian army was practically wiped
out and that only a battalion or so suc
ceeded In reaching Asmara. At the war
office , however , It was stated that this Is
an exaggeration. The truth of the matter
seems to be that the ministers are anx
iously awaiting the report of General Baldls-
sera and that , In the meanwhile , they are
suppressing the facts which reached them
previous to his arrival at Massowah. This ,
at any rate , Is the mqst charitable con
struction to place upon the apparently cruel
sllcncs of the government. But the excite
ment will not diminish to any extent until
an official statement has ret at rest the
alarming rumors In circulation or definitely
established the real facts In the case. To
those having relatives serving with the Itnl-
Inn army In Africa the failure of the
war office to Issue nn official report is little
less than torture. But no amount of pres
sure seems strong enough to obtain the
anxiously awaited news from the minister
o : war.
An Important meeting , at which thn mar
quis dl Rudlnl presided , took place today.
All the opposition deputies who could at
tend were present and while It was decided
to support all the measures necessary to
sustain the honor of Italy , It Li understood
that the government will bo subject to the
most fierce attacks and that Its colonial
policy will como In for the strongest con
demnation.
As mall advices reach this city today It
Is seen that the demonstrations agalnbt the
government throughout the provinces yester
day wore unparalleled In their fierceness
and In the general character of tht- feeling
of anger expressed at the conduct of the
Abyaslnlan campaign nnd the colonial policy
ot Italy. The censor suppressed nearly nil
such nnws. It Is known , however , that the
authorities nre nreatly alarmed and that
further dUturbances have taken place In
n number of the largo cities. DotalH are
awaited with much anxiety.
CABINET DECIDES TO RESIGN.
The newspapers" report that nt the cabinet
meeting thin afternoon the ministry resolved
they would resign rather than face the
crisis. Premier Crlspl , It Is further reported ,
subsequent to the cabinet meeting , Informed
King Humbert of the decision arrived at.
Further details are being received thls
evening of..violent scenes enacted today
at different places , all over Italy , which the
government had sought In vnlu to prevent.
The publication of the alarmist rumors which
wore circulated earlier in the dny In con
firmed by the later reports nnd the wliulu
of Italy recms to bo In the arms of the
amused populace , Indignant nt the govern
ment , which Is apparently powerless to quell
the outbreaks of wrath. Popular demon-
stratlnns of the most violent character have
occurred throughout the Italian peninsula.
Tint most Fctlous nt theso. as Indicated In
thn curilcr dispatches which were permitted
to bo sent from hrra occurred at Milan ,

The police uf thu city had tlirlr hands full
to bring the ciox.Mu under control and wc'n

fixed bayonets before they succeeded In
dispersing the mob. No statement Is made
ot the amount of harm done to the Inhab

World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Thcro
has been no chance In the local situation
slnco yesterday except that with every fresh
report of the state of public feeling through
out Spain the Spanish element hero becomes
more excited over the action of the senate.
Today's newspapers give only a bare men
tion of the action cf the house of representa
tives. El Dlarlo la Merlna devotes four lines
to a cable from New York announcing the
vnt" > ,
All eyes are now turned toward President
Cleveland. If ho agrees with the two houses
of congress Spaniards will generally regard
his action as a virtual act of war. although
not a legal casus belli. A. prominent poli
tical leader said to mo today :
"It Is not tlio slnglo fact that congress
would grant rccocnltlon of the rebels , but
the manner In which the subject was con
ducted , which was grossly Insulting to Spain ,
Spanish ofllclals and the Spanish people.
Distinguished senators arioso from their seats
and launched forth violent diatribes against
everything Spanish. A senator read from a
book charges against Governor General Wey-
ler that were as false as hades. Wo will
spend our last dollar and eo down with flyIng -
Ing colors If necessary to defend our honor. "
The same views are heard on all sides ,
although ofllclals are too much restrained by
conventionality to express their opinions.
The press continues Its unanimous opposi
tion to the action at Washington. El
Dlarlo prints bitter articles and says the
United States , with all their greatness , re
semble the statue of Nebuchadnezzarblcli
had a head of gold and feet of clay.
Bellicose students In Valenc'a , Barcelona
and Madrid arc commencing to threaten that
the exportation of tobac'co will be stopped.
EL , DIAU10 COUHTS TROUBLE.
In Its evening edition El Dlarlo has a
very exciting article calculated to arouse
unthinking people to violence. The Union
Constitution's article says : "If wo would
have peace we must prepare for war , " and Is
written In a similar vein to El Dlario's
articles.
Consul General Williams maintains an atti
tude of extreme calmness and Informed me
today that he can see no Indications of a
disposition to Injure Americans. At no
period during the rebellion has lie considered
that occasion called for the presence of men-
of-war. He has not suggested to the Wash
ington government that war ships are
needed and will not flo so unless some reason
arises which Is not In existence now.
During his Interview with General Weyler
at the palace on Saturday the consul gen
eral was Informed that the military power
of the government would protect American
citizens In the event of an Improbable con
tingency trouble should occur. The pres
ence of war chips here at the present time
would cause Irritation and If men-of-war
are coming In this direction Key West would
bo a better point for their location.
I conversed today with several foreign
consuls , who would not permit the use of
their names. They agree , however , that
there are no signs of disorder. Merchants
In the American trade take the same view.
The head of a distinguished mercantile house
said , however , that If belligerency should
become an actual fact ho feared that Amer
icans would be exposed to BO many annoy
ances that they would bo obliged to leave
the Island.
Maceo Is said to be very short of ammuni
tion.
tion.Consul
Consul General Williams has visited the
rebel general , Ccspero , who Is confined In
Moro castle.
Two fresh batalllons have arrived from
Spain.
PRESS IS AGAIN PACIFIC.
The press Is unanimous today In advising
moderation In popular sentiment. The city
continues perfectly quiet In spite of the
wild reports circulated last night that a
demonstration would bo made against Amer
icans. No ono familiar with the strength
and nerve of General Weyler bellovee the
story , but timid 'people were much exer
cised thereby.
The chief of police sent eight extra po
licemen to the street on which the United
States consul general Is located. The cor
poral In charge climbed the stairs to the
office of Consul General Williams and In
formed him that he had been ordered to
report to him. The consul dismissed the
corporal Immediately and Informed him that
he desired no guard. lie asked him to take
his extra police away and said that ho had
lived three-fourths of his file In Cuba with
out a guard and did not require ono at th < t
late day. The chief of police Informed the
consul general ho had sent the guard only
as a precaution against oxcltcd Indlvldvals
going to the consulate.
It Is the earnest belief ot Mr. Williams
that there Is no necessity for taking any
particular action to protect Americans , either
by local force or by United States men-of-
war.
It Is reported here today that President
Cleveland will not accept Consul General
Williams' resignation , anho Is considered
tco valuable to the government to be al
lowed to leave hlu post at present.
Homo young Spaniards , with students at
the university , who talked about emulating
the deeds of some students In Spain by get
ting up a demonstration , were Informed
that they would be prodded In the rear with
bayonets If they did anything BO foolish.
They abandoned the Idea ,
LANGUAGE WAS OFFENSIVE.
_
Spaniards , now mat tney nave become
mere calm , think a mere declaration of
belligerency will not greatly Injure them.
On all dldos , however , great disappointment
Is expressed of the verbal attacks on Spain
and Spaniards made on the floor ot. .con
gress. They say that gratuitous Insults were
offered. If the resolutions had been passed
quietly without violent language no such
ground of complaint would exist 'at present.

HAVANA , ( via Key West ) March 4. ( New
York World Cablegranv-Sredal ) Telegram. )
The news of the action1 of the United
States congress has penetrated to every In
surgent camp within thirty miles of Ha
vana and the Cuban patriots arc wild with
Joy. Comment Is various , depending upon
comparative Intelligence. Alt rank and file
seem to take President Cleveland's concur
rence as a matter of course. All are Ju
bilant over what they feel must soon be ft
glorious final. The more Ignorant honestly
believe that now Spain must lay down her
arms. They cannot distinguish between
diplomatic recognition and armed Inter
ference. The less Ignorant think that now
cartridges * and rlfloa will Immediately be
come plentiful and that expeditions from
the United States will land 'dally.
Thn Intelligent , or about 15 per cent of
the Cuban soldiers , realize that It will bo
at least a month before nny real effects
will be felt. The feeling among the com
mon soldiers Is that something great Is to
happen at once.
The educated lender * nro uneasy. They
fear the effects of disappointment upon Iho
men when they find that , should It be com
pleted , the recognition cf Cuban belligerency
docs not produce Immediate and great re
sults In favor of the Cuban cause , TO con
duct successfully a prolbnged fight with the
sword alone against the finest of modern
rifles requires high courage In the Cuban
cavalry. This they have , and this It Is
that the leaders are afraid disappointment
may weaken. The machete must be de
pended upon until they gel cartridges. These
are what the Cuban leaders want. They
have- men enough and- guns enough they
want cartridges. And they want their men
to keep their spirits Up until cartridges
come. They feel that thtlr agents In the
United States would have an caster time
In sending ammunition under belligerent
rights than without.
Gomez , Maceo , Sanfchc * and the other
generals believe that belligerency should bo
accorded them , If only out of respect to
humanity. They prize principally for this.
Gomez wants It so that the Spaniards will
bo forced not to "butcher thoae few of my
pcor boys they take prlsonprs. " Nine-tenths
of this kind of' work Is done without the
knowledge of Iho Havana authorities.
Should President Cleveland oppose the
measure , the Cuban leaders think that be
yond a momentary disappointment there
will bo absolutely no difference In the final
result of the Insurrection In Cuba. The war
will be prolonged. That Is all. The Insur
gents think that their organization of the
friendly people of western Cuba will enable
them to continue to keep away from
the Spanish soldiers , oven If their
number should be doubled , until cither
cartridges or tlie t rainy season
arrives. If the former 'they will fight. They
want to badly , and from tour-months' success
ful sword fight , It seems that , with arms and ,
ammunition , in addition- their machetes ,
they should win , but If cartridges and cnn-
grom both fail them , they still think that
Spain will have to spend more money than
she can get to win the w > , rThe Spanish
troops have not been paid Tor three months.
They are without money , ' and there Is not
sufficient food to sustain tlann ' properly.
This question Is not 'BO serious to the
Cubans , for their "prefects" have been
storing up food In safe ' 'places for months
and the mountains wlttii their thousands of
cattle arc always close at ; hand.
No difference has been1 seen In Uic field
movements since General Weyler assumed
charge. Vigor In the field depends' entirely
upon the column commanders. There Is no
more reason for them to fight actively under ,
Weyler , whom they do 'n'ofTIear , . than under
Campos , of whom they did , stand In' whole
some awo. ' .
General Gomez says to the World correspondent
pendent , speaking of General Weyler , "pro
clamations In the cities -and victories In the
field are two different things. "

MADRID ? March 4. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The World
correspondent was accorded tcday an Inter
view , by appointment , with Scnor Sagasta ,
leader of the liberal party In Spain , and ,
therefore , politically the nntagon'st ' of Senor
Canovas , the present prime minister.
"In this controversy with the United
States , " said the liberal statesman , "all
Spaniards are unanimous. Even the repub
licans , or the Carllsts , nro determined to
spare no sacrifice , no effort to suppress this
cruel Insurrection ( In Cuba ) and to combat
foreign Intervention of any kind.
"So unanimous Is this patriotic feeling that
I believe the coming general election will
bo tame In Spain. Only the Cnrllsts , a tow
dlsslent conservatives and a few liberals are
contesting the largo constituencies. The
coming Parliament will be packed with con
servatives' .
"I consider the calling of the elections nt
this time to b an Insincere political move
ot the premier. It will bo Impossible to get
a fair expression on home Issues and It Is
especially Inadvisable to hold elections In
Cuba , , as the autonomists and the liberals
there will decline to go to the polls. Who
cares for politics when the heart and the
soul of the nation are absorbed lu the
Cuban conflict ?
NO NEED OF DISSOLUTION.
"All this farce could have been averted by
employing for all -purposes the Parliament
Jus.it dissolved , which would have voted all
supplies and could have been assembled In
two days , whereas wo shall now bo without
a Cortes until May.
"Another solution would be to have a general -
oral election now on lines of the coalition of ,
all Spanish parties , to show America the
unanimity of our national Parliament , with
a fair representation of all parties Joining to
gether to glvo more weight to the action of
our government.
"I do not believe the government could
entertain the mediation , advice for Interven
tion of the United States after their recog
nition of the belligerency of the Cuban rebels ,
but I am firmly convinced that the present
complications might have been averted If cir
cumstances'and political Influences In Spain
and Havana had not postponed and
afterward made It Impossible to
carry out the home reforms which my liberal -
oral government Induced the Cortes to vote
before the present Insurrection , which Mar
shal Campos wanted to carry out when ho
landed In Cuba , and which might have been
put In force In Porto Rico.
"I still hope that a conflict with America
may bo averted , though that depends chiefly
on the American government. I am confi
dent that Spain will be equal to the task of
defending , liar rights ; -certainly she will have
the unconditional support of my party. "
Both Senor Sagasta arid Senor Moret ex
press the opinion that the liberal party
'would heartily agree to any home , rule pol
icy calculated to preserve the loyalty of
Cuba.
Stnor Moret also consented to speak for
the New York World. He has been minister
of foreign affairs several times In liberal
governments.
NO REASON TO DESPAIR.
"Therea \ no reason yet , " he said , "to
despair of an amicable , harmonious settle
ment of the difficulties between Spain , Cuba
and the United Stntea. If President Cleve
land , without recognizing belligerency
of the Cubans , simply uses the moral influ
ence of the votes of the American congress
to better approach the Madrid government
with the friendly advice that It should con
tinue treating the Insurgents humanely , re
specting the lives and property of
American citizens and defining clearly
Its Intentions concerning the home
rule measures contemplated for Cuba then
Mr. Cleveland might use his Influence to
persuade the Cubans and their American
friends to accept these reforms after the
submission of the rebels.
"If Cuban belligerency Is recognized a
rupture of the diplomatic relations between
Spain and the United States must enbue.
Our minister at Washington would be re
called , as Spain cannot admit any parallel
with her own recognition of the southern
Btatea In 1SC3. That recognition fulfilled the
conditions required by International law and
these conditions the Cubans cannot show , as
they have neither port , town nor consti
tuted government with any ostensible , fixed
residence. "
Senor Moret argues that Spain asks
America to act toward Cuba as America
acted In the Chilian , Brazilian and other
South American Insurrections , and as Grant
did during the ten years of the Cuban rising
between 18G8 and 1878. He admits that the
Spanish foreign policy has Isolated her from
alliances and also that her repudiation of
treaties of commerce affords little hops of
support from the other European .powers ,
especially from Germany ,
He thinks all parties In Spain will co
operate with any government to overcome
the Cuban rebellion and to repeal the foreign
Interference , but laments the dissolution of
the Cortes and the agitation consequent
upon a general election In Spain. He be
lieves elections are Impossible In Cuba and
apprehends grave consequences , oven for the
monarchy , if the racrlflcen and patriotism
of united Spaniards should prove unavailing
to preserve Spanlrh rule In Cuba ,
RESULT OF A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Senor Castellar , the most experienced and
respected of Spanish statesmen , was found
today by the World correspondent In his
beautiful residence , a very muwsurn cf price
less antiquities and art. He was surrounded
by friends of all political opinions , all ani
matedly discussing what Is to every Spaniard
now a momentous question. All , with their
peculiar old world feelings , showing the
deep resentment of wounded pride and the
keen susceptibilities ot an Impresrlonnble
southern race. The company was Ilsten'ng
eagerly to an eloquent , Impetuous flow of
words from the great republican leader ,
whom they consider a more competent au
thority than any modern Spaniard who could
cffer on opinion In the present Juncture , be
cause Castellar has been always a sort cf
connecting link between the Spanish-Amer
ican republics and their mother country , and
a llfe.long admirer and advocate of the
United States.
He hardly conceals the concern and omo'
tlon the present crisis causes him. Ho hopes
against hope for a satisfactory solution of
the differences between America and Spain.
The Spanish ho styles the democratic people
nowadayo In Europe. Like other liberal
statesmen , he naya America's attitude Is the
result of an unfortunate misunderstanding
of the real conduct of Spain toward Cuba and
the sincerity of the Intentions of the Span
ish parties which BO unanimously voted last
year for an elastic form of homo rule for
the Island quite sufficient to reconcile the
aspirations of the Cubans and the Interests
of the mother country.
"I dread , " ho Bald , "the consequences of
the recognition of Cuban belligerency , be-
caui'o that action by the United States would
make It Impossible for the Spanish government -
ment to assent to any foreign advice or
mediation , I think no ground exists for rec
ognition of the belligerency of the Insur
gents , while I'uch action by the United States
must disturb the relations between Spain
and America. That action would be fraught
wllli the gravest consequences for the do
mestic politics ot Spain , If the Spaniards
rhould lese Cuba. "
Senor Castclar referred to what ho termed
the Ingratitude of the American republics to <
ward the Spanish nation , which Is defending
the last remnant ot Its discoveries and hard
won , hard preserved new world empire. Ho
declared that all Spaniards would recoil
from no burden or sacrifice to retain hold ot
Cuba ,

PARIS , March 4. ( Now York World Ca

ing and significant that n group of Spanish-
American students living In Paris has this
week decorated llnrtholdl's statue of Wash
ington and La Fayetto , presented last De
cember to the city of Paris by Mr. Pulitzer ,
and situated In the Place dcs Ktats. They
placed on the pedestal of a statue of Carnet
flowers , with nn emblem composed of the
flags of Franco and the United States.
Guzman Blanco said to the World corre
spondent : "It Is Impossible to say what ac
tion the Central American states will take
In the event of a rupture between Spain
and the United States. Strong sympathy un
doubtedly Is felt In all the American repub
lics for Cuba , but nothing has occurred hith
erto to enable mo to Judge what will bo
their attitude. "
Emllo Flourlns , thrlco France's minister ot
foielgn affairs , said to the World corre
spondent : " Although Franco has no desjve
to wound Spanish feelings , her republican
sympathies make her favor tlio Cuban In
surgents' rather than the Spanish cause.
I may safely say both the French govern
ment and people Inwardly approve the nt-
tttudo ot the United States congress. The
rumor that France Is friendly to Spanish
inlsrulo Is utterly unfounded ,
"Hod Spain wished , she could have vastly
lirproved Cuba commercially , sanitarily and
politically , but she has done llttlo to Justify
occupancy of the Island. Spain naturally
resents the American senate's resolutions ,
for they reveal a state of things to which
tlio Spaniards hitherto willfully closed their
eyes. Spain In Cuba , ns Italy In Abyssinia ,
must look facts In the face and accept the
Inevitable.

arousing great applause along the line of

a pig , representing America , fighting with
a lion of Spain. Naturally , the pig was

Today the pig and the lion emblem was
again carried , but the authorities wcra vigil
ant. Many mounted civil guards were In

were stationed opposite tha American coun-

Tbo German consul at Barcelona , General

that the United States consuls are resigning
everywhere Is false. This consulate has ten

The rumor that the president will veto
the congressional resolution sent securities
up sharply yesterday. They fell again this

Though a veto Is hoped for , Senator Sher

the question of American Intervention , says
ho hopes It will not bo necessary to resort

Spanish troops and the Insurgents In Cuba ,
in which General Barges attacked the In
surgents who were protecting the so-called
Cuban government , the Spaniards lost ton
killed and wounded.
There have been renewed disturbances here
today and demonstrations of popular anger
against the United States government , The
students of the university roem to have been
the offenders or the leaders In the demon

directed agalnt them by the government , the

WASHINGTON , Mnrch 4. ( Special. ) Senator -
ator Thurston makes nnotlicr contribution
to tlio presidential controversy In Nebraska ,
lit mi address to the voters of lilo state.
The document Is In Innguago following :
To tlio Ucnillk'nn | ) Voters of Nebraska :
In view of Mr. Hulner's address to the re
publicans of my stnto In advocacy of Qcn-
crnl Mandcrson as n presidential candidate ,
I feel It to be my duty to submit roinft
reasons why Nebraska xhould send a Sic *
Klnlcy delegation to the national conven
tion.
I bavo already disclaimed any Intention ,
of reflecting upon the sincerity or Rood
faith of General MnmlcrFoii or Mr. Hnlncr ,
and I slinll pass over In silence the
Innuendoes contained In Mr. llnlncr'n ad
dress , which might bo construed tin having1
rcfarcncc to me did I not have Mr. Hnlncr'a
persons * ! ( insurance that they were not t
Intended.
The question which the republicans of
Nebraska must decide Is whether their
delegation Fhnll assist In the nomination
of Mr. McKlnlcy or be used to dcft'nt him.
Mr. linlncr asserts "that , In all probability ,
thcro will bo a deadlock between the now
leading candidates ! , " and the republicans oC
Nebraska arc asked to cast their votcu In
such a manner ns to assist In producing ?
that deadlock.
It la conceded there Is no possibility of a
nomination of any favotlto son until Me *
Klnlcy Is broken down , and the republicans
of Nebraska must decide ns to whether or
not they are willing to assist In breaking
MoKlnley down , In the remote hope that
out of- that great republican disaster may
arise a shadowy possibility of nominating a
Nebraska man.
NO HOPE FOH MANDI3USON.
No ono would do more than I to brlnsf
honor to one of our own citizens , and
should any real opportunity over como to
secure General Mnmlcrson's nomination ,
either for first or second place on the ticket ,
I would do anything In my power to bring
about that result. I cannot , however ,
bring myself to believe that the republicans
of Nebraska should seek to create n possi
ble opportunity by Ilrst assisting In the defeat
feat of Mr. McKlnley. I cannot bring my
self to believe that any man should nslc
any republicans In Nebraska , who favor Mc
Klnlcy , to assist In his defeat , to Join the
combination that confessedly exists In some
states of the union to break him down
without offering some reasonable hope that
such action on their part will secure for
our state n placeon the presidential ticket.
Does any such real hope exist ? Is thcro
any reason to believe that a single delegate
to the national convention outside of Ne
braska Intends to vote for a Nebraska can
didate ? Is there any reason to believe
that majority of republicans In any dis
trict In the United States outside of Ne
braska. now .favor , declare for or Intend to
support a Nebraska candidate ? I know ot
no such outside support , and I have not yet
heard It claimed that any such sentiment
now exIstB In ni\y state or delegate district
outside of Nebraska as Indicates a slnglo
vote for a Nebraska candidate.
I ask In all candor and fairness , has any
one man , however distinguished , any right
to ask those republicans who naturally and
of their own free choice desire the nomina
tion of William MoKlnley , to assist In de
feating him , until nt least eome assurance
can be given of some outside support for a
home candidate ?
I feel It my duty to review briefly the
events which have led up to what I consider
the present unfortunate complication In Ne
braska. Up to the Uth d y of February of
this year the republicans of our state were
not In any manner advised , nor did they
anticipate , that any Nebraska ! ) was , or
would be , a candidate. Before that , date
thousands of republicans In Nebraska had
not only formed , but had publicly declared !
their presidential preference. So far as I
am concerned , I never attempted In any way
to dictate to the republicans of our state
on the presidential question. I never at
tempted to limit or control their free choice.
I never assumed leadership or pretended to
promise or pledge any Nebraska votes. I
could not help but know the almost over
whelming sentiment of Nebraska republicans
In favor of William McKlnley , and I wafl
glad to believe that I was ono of a great
majority holding the opinion that his nomi
nation and election would mean more for
the republican party and for American ,
pi asperity than could the nomination and
election of any other man.
CAST HIS LOT WITH M'KINLEY.
While nt home during the holldayn I re
ceived an urgent request from the friends
of Mr. McKlnley to write bin presentation to
the country. Before accepting that Invita I
tion I hud a very pleasant and satisfactory
Interview with General Mandcrson on the
general political situation. a'hla was on the
4th day of January last. I parted from hln >
without the least Idea that Nebraska would
have a presidential candidate , and the same
day I wired my acceptance of the Invitation
to write McKlnlcy'H presentation. I wrote
It after my return to Washington and It
was published In Iho Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette , about tha 11th of January , In that
presentation I ald that tlio Hiprcmo need
of the hour could not be met by tha nomi
nation of any so-called dark horse or favor
ite son. I remained In Washington until
the 10th of February , when I left for Chicago
cage to attend the lianquet of the Maiquetto
club. For homo duyu pi lor to my departure
Gencial MunuVrson WIIH In Washington ,
stopping at my hotel. I had dally and
filcndly conversations with him and neither
fiom himself nor from uny ono clno did I
receive- any Intimation that he expected , or
Intended , to become a candidate ,
In response to my , toast at the Mnrquotte
c'.ub In Chicago , on tlio evening of Feb
ruary 12 , I presented thn nnmo of William
McKlnley u a candidate for the presidency ,
and In my udditsH I nguln si d ; "Thin In no
time tor dnik hornes , compromlpo candidates
or favorite fans. " I certainly should not
have mfido any such statement If I had
supposed that It could huvo any reference
to the political situation In my own state.
I referred ( Imply to that general political
effort , BO thoroughly understood by the re
publicans of the United Status , to bring out
so-called favoilte sons In Elates that favored
MrlCInley , for the generally accredited purpose -
pose of producing a deadlock In the Ht.
Loulx convention ami defeating McKlnley
a TlUiIno was defeated In the Cincinnati
convention of 1870. I then believed , and I
Htlll believe , that the great content In the
fit. LoulH convention will bo between the
political bosses and the people , and I hops
and pi ay that the boae will not be per
mitted to defeat the will or the republicans
of tha Vlilled States ,
