tlrcl of these falo aeertIons about the
United States government and about tR con-
. atilato gencral In Havana , " akh Consul Gen-
cral WIilIamR today. "Patience has ceasei1
to be a virtue. There shoulti be an end to
such ( hines. The people of the United State9
have been deceived long enough.
The conatil general was talking of the
" numerous cotnphiilnts of people , who , being
In trouble with the spanish government. hiavo
crIticIset the State department at Wash-
ingion and the consut general , thinking that
. not enough Is ono for them. Mr. Williams
has been ft hard iiian to Interview during
the past twelve months. lie lies treated
no wlih great courtesy. and has afforded
1110 every facility consistent with hits duty ,
but always heretofore ho has declined to be
interviewed. lie Ic averse to having his
opinions made vibh1c.
The circumstances under which Mr. IV11-
hams spoke out totlay were these : The World
. of Avril 4 containeti ft dtzpatch from Tampa ,
Via , , whhch reported thnt "Louis Martinta
Vignor , an American , arrested March 26 in
havana , wrltcs that probably he vihl be
. Sent to Centa , Africa , as the United Statea
government has done nothing to protect him. "
I knew about the case of Vinet , not Vlnor ,
as the types give the name. but. in order to
. obtain the official facts , I called at time pu-
ace and on Consul Chnerai Williams. The
lattem gave me thiit' information :
'Vinet was arrested , as stated. lie told
thio ornamals Imo was a citizen of the United
States. The following mlay ( March 27) ) In-
. . qimiry was made from time Spanish govern-
inent if Vinet's name was on the retister
of American citizens. omciahly maintained in
thils consulate general. Invostiutton 1ia-
closed the fact that Vinet was recorded as a
citizen in 1874. lIe im a Cuban , and has not
been off the Island in twenty-two years.
hAS ALL OF HIS RIGHTS.
"I informed the governmcnt that Viyet
'way registered. Immediately h ! 'ase was
taken from the military branch , tmndnr sh1ch
lie was hold. and traiiferred to tile clvii
authorities. This action oc'arred ' time same
day I defined his citizenship.
"The procedure of the authrtiea wan mn-
solicited by me. I should hav , clemntnded
time transfer to ba made in accordance with
the treaty and protocol with Spain , but the
government of its' own vohitirn acted atrictly
* in accord with the treaty right of the pri-
onor , who Is flow in jail awaIting civil trial.
lie has one of the ablest lawycre of havana.
Senor Viondi , vhi defended Sanguilly. "
Consul General Williams i.t not wish to
talk about the cause of time arrest of Vinet ,
C3 I visited the palace and hsccrtained the
government's ldo of the caa. I was informed -
formed that the prisoner re3iII.o in Guamma-

MADRID , April 8.-New ( York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.-Wlth ) a view
to controlling time popular patriotic agitation
whiclm is fanned by the press and time opposition -
tion politicinn , time government declares that
it attaches no importance to time resolutions
adopted by the American congress or to the
opinion of American Jingoes. It reiterates
its belief that l'rcsfdcnt Cleveland will either
take no notice of time resolutions or viil not
move in the matter until ho has formed an
estimate of time impression caused by those
re.soiutions in Europe , in time Spanisim-Amer-
lean republics , in Cuba and in the United
States.
The Spanish government affects to believe
it possible that there will be developed In
all there directions sufficient sympathy for
Span to deter President Cleveland from
mnoro tItan a platonic intervention some day
in favor of the Cubans , It Is semi-othlolally
stated today that tims government will persevere -
severe in the present cordial reiations with
'President Cleveland and wili regulate its
conduct entirely by that of the American
goverumiment. It will welcome , it is added ,
any friendly advance or advice , but will do-
dine absolutely to entertain any proposition
or suggestion involving the sliglmtest In-
frngenment of the sovereign. rights of Spain
in Cuba or any notion of treating the Cubans
in armns otherwise than as rebels who must
first submit unconditionally before Spain will
grant to the colony political , administrative
or commercIal reforms compatible with Spanish -
ish rule In the West Indies.
PROIIII3ITS ALI DEMONSTRATIONS.
The government has telegraphed to the
civil and military autlmorities throughout
Spain , prohibiting all demonstrations in the
streets ornueetings against the United Stntea ,
Forcmi will be tmsed if necessary to pttvont
them , Any university or school whose stim-
dents attempt such a demonstration vil1 be
closed. These measures arc taken because
thmt leaders of time republican parties are trying -
ing to get Up an anti-Amnorlcan agitation
again , In fact , only the rejubiicamm papers
totay bamno' the government for "damupening
time patriotic ardor in a way that leads
clearly to alicnaung public sentiment from
time mnonar hy. "
The other newspapers , including even time
Imparel'aI , the Corrospondencia and liberal
organs , recommended moderation and
patience , tb avoid givIng provobation which
rnighmt play into the bands qf. timose , who
want to force President Cleveland to side
with the Cuban rebels , . .
The council of ministers devoted last night
more time to the elections and to financial
projects titan to the proposition regarding
naval armaments , which time minister of
marine finds his colleagues are not disposed
to authorize on the scab lie advocates.
The Madrid pre. rays l'remier Canoyni ,
and the duke of Tetiman , tIme foreign minis-
tar , are preparun , a niemnaraudimrmm to subnmit
to the European powers , giving the wlmo'e
history of time relations between Spain ani
the United States during the present Cuban
insurrection and indicated posaible contln-
gencics.
SAGASTA ADVISES MORE REFORMS.
Senor Sagacta , the chief of time , liberal p -
position , told same Spanish reporters today
that he thinks the government ought to
promptly carry out in. the pantsh West Indies -
dies exteru'ivo ' reforms on even a more hib-
oral scale ttman those voted last year by the
Spanish Parliament. Senor Sagasta believes
such reforms would be as effective as vigorous -
orous military operations in Cuba and would
forestall all foregn ! interference. Senor Sa.
gasta fear Preedent ! Cleveland wili try to
take advantage of Spain's embarrarsmeqtn in
Cuba to get payment of indemnity for Ameri
can citizene , who have suffered by reason of
tIme proi'Int insurrection.
The Madrid authorities acted energetically
to suppress a slight attempt at a denionstra-
tion by the studente of time univerrity today.
The presu tonight almost unantmouely ad-
vc4ates prudence in order to strengthen the
hands of time m'iilsters , but the liberal paper ,
El Correo , advires the government to demand
of Precidont Cleveland a declaration of his
intentions , and urges that it be intimated to
him that Spain is determined to resist any
interference. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
