MADRID , May 10.-There are evidences of
growing popular excitement In Spain over
the attitude of the ljnted ! States govern-
mont. toward the question of the flhibtister9
captured on boated of the Competitor. The
rlot9 and outbreaks of Popular hatred toward
the United Statc at the time of the pasago
through cotigresa of the resolution favoring
the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents
have not been forgotten and the sentiments
which caused theni are but smoldering. The
Spanish govcriiincnt has , on nil po,3ibie occasions -
casions , cxprciod its appreciation of , and
satisfaction with , the efforts itiado by the
United States government to prevent as far
as lay In its power the giving of unlas'ful
aid to the Cuban insurgent citizens of the
United States. But the widespread sympathy
felt for the insurgents in the tTted , Statc.
Is well recognized by the Spanish p4lo and
the news of expeditions froii tlto United
States landei from time to tline in Cuba
creates intense irritation.
Tue news of thu capture of the men on
h the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing. It was felt to Lie
the first opportupity that had been offered to
make an example of the engaged in feeding -
ing the insurrection. The popular demand
for their execution is general and is likely
to become vociferous. Little account is
taken of the reulited question of treaty Interpretation -
pretation involved in the nrotet of the
United Statci govenint against the execution -
tion of the sentences. Tue action of the
United States Is regarded rather as an expression -
pression of sympathy with tile Insurrection
and there will be a strong popular clamor
to disregard it.
PUBLIC IrEELING INTISE ,
The iiuhlic feeling on the subject is fast-
ered by the tenor oZ the advices reccivod
from. Havana. Dispatche8 from there affirm
that Captaiti General \Voyler is greatly
Irritated at the attitude of 'the United States
on tito question of the sentence. It is assorted -
- sorted that If' the SIanish government adopts
, a contrary vkw , owng to the represeflta-
tiorsmado by the United Statea government ,
Weylor will resign hi post. Allegations are
iniule in these Havana dipatchos of very
extraordinary conduct on the part of JLamon
0. Williams , the United States con'ui gen-
, . oral.
4v i these are not true. they are , neverthe-
lors , certain to add fuel to the fire of ocipular
Indignation in SpaLn. Mr. William's attitude ,
it Ic alleged , i the subject of general censure -
sure in Havana , and is said to ho very
provocative. The story goes that the United
States consul general j'liows himself everywhere -
where in public rdaces in havana , using
Irritating and menacing language regarding
the probable action of the United States
toward the authorities In case the sentences
upon the Comptititor captives are executed.
The Imparcial. cornmentng upon the at-
tittido of the United States , says that a man
accused of acts of piracy admitted before a
court-martial in Havana that the Amercan
police made a iolnt of vanishing when
fthibustering expeditions for Cuba were about

TALKiNG OFVAR. .
El Liberal tlCjai es that the Spansh ! gov-
ernnient ought to have sent a squadron to
Cuba in addition to nianning tue transatlan-

service.
This newspaper asserts that the steamer

continittee , embarked ipoti tue Florida coast
10,000 rifles , six pieces of artillery , three
mutralileures , a quantity of munitions of

BARCELONA , May 10.-A letter has been

Woyler in Cuba , to a deputy living in this

lboral view of the situation In Cuba , he

by vigorous measures. lie expresses the
wish to complete the fortified line from
Jacaro on the southern coast of the Island

DESERTED FROM THE LINE.
A corporal and a soldier of the Spanish
army have been court-martiaie and cxc-
cuted at. Puerto Prineipe for deserting in
the taco of the enemy. Jose uhlanco Ahfonso ,
an insurgcnt incendiary , entered the chapel

General I'ando returned to Spain today to
take the oath as senator.
The report that Maxima Gomez is in the

tite insurgents burned the rest of the town
of Cacarajacas. rho official report of the
engagement says the troops had cs killed

further details of the affair.
IIRITISII CONSUL INTERESTED.
It hait become bitown that the i3ritish consul -
sul has &so intervened I& thto name of his
government in behalf of the Competitor'e
captives sentenced to death. lie Invokes
clemency for the pri'oners. This action of
the I3rltish government in the case has
cauled a s.jlsatlon here and it Itas beexi the
topic of continent today by all social eias.es
in the eomniei'ty. It vouid be difficult to
say from any admissions made in official
quarters what effect tills now development
vill have in tIme case. There Is a marked
absence of irritation manifested In the corn-
uilonts on the subject and the action of the
British official seems to have been taken in
very good iort. It is pointed out that the
'sItervcstiomi of the Liritish consul Is couched
in very different form from that of the United
States consul general and is , in fact , cx
pressed In very friendly terms , invoking the
clemency of the Cuban authorities , The
iuertion of the execution of the captivea of
the Competitor is recognized to be one of
thlo niot important which has occurred since
the inuurrecticsi broke out. Now that the
qtiestion has been referred to the govern-
went at Madrid the situation here has quieted
Iown , thought there Is no cessation of in.
terert In the matter. The attitude of the
public is rather one of waiting on the (10- (
Cuba of the Madrid government , The wait-
lag is attended by iiiuichi impatience asI no
little anxiety.

mediate action on account at the bold stand
taken by the presIdent regarding the im-
itosition of the death bentcnco on the men
captured on board the Competitor. The governor -
ornor stated emphatically that he had no
recent communication with Major Connohly
Oil any subject and expressed surprise that
such a report should have gotten abroad.

LONDON , May 10.-New ( York World
Cablegram-Special Teiegram.-I ) have never
seen in either Now York or Madrid newspapers -
papers what. disposition is made of Cuban
pre'oners who have escaped immediate cx-
cuton Or Imprisonment in fortrerses of the
Island , although frequent mention is made
by the \Vorld's Cuban correspondent of arrests -
rests of more or icss notable Cubans , sus-
pecteil or adjudged guilty of conipiicity with
the rebellion , I have , therefore , made inquiry -
quiry concerning the ultimate ditposition
of these prisoners , and have received the
fohlowtng authoritative statement of their
fate at ( lie hands of Spanshi authorities.
Every Slnilil5ii uiiaii steamer brings over
froiii Havana sonic Cuban prisoners , who are
landed at Cadiz , Santanader or Corunna , for
transshipment. to Spauah ! penal settlements
or tortressea on the coast of Morocco. There
prisoner.s are of two classes. The : nest
numerous class is composed of whites ,
mulattces and negroes , who have boon sentenced -
tenced to penal servitude by the civil cci.irts
and more frequently , courts martial , for tue
part they are alleged to have taken in tile
rebellion or In separatst conspiracies. 5ev-
tral hundred of these conv.cts have been
transported to Spain , and , on landing , have
been conveyed to common jails and treated
like ordinary felons. After a tow clays
they are conducted , under escort , and bound
in Pairs by the elbows or handcuffed , in
second or third class carriages r iii "cellar
cars" to Cadiz or Malaga. There they are
placed on hoard a mann-of-war or a itier-
client eteamer , which carries them to
Cenuta , Mehihla , Aihucemas or Chaffarinas
isles , where Spain keeps the worst of her
convicts. ' crtmn'nals who have been con-
dcmncd to penal servitude for life or for
terms exceeding fourteen years.
TREATED AS ORDINARY CONVICTS.
The climate of those stttlons on the
coast of Morocco is not , perhaps , a trial
for men coining from the tropics , hut the
real hardship for merely political prisoners
Is being mIxed UI ) with the ordinaty felons.
They have to wcar convict garb. sleep in
ordInary wards and eat prison food unleos
their relations can provide them with money
to purchase the hittlo that can be found
at the prison canteens. No special severity
Is shown to Cuban convicts , except that the
ordinary felons , wardens and guards allow
them to see their hostile feeling toward
the colonis's who have attempted to shake
off the rule of Spain. It may be noted ,
uso. : that loud and oFten unpleasant demonstrations -
strations have occurred even in Spanish
crowds witnessing ( lie landing of there
irisoners ) , and the police have often had to
act vigorously to protect them at Caclia
anti Corunna. Great vigilance is exercisdml
ever the correspondence of thteca convicts
with their families or friends , and the precautions -
cautions are very strict to prevent their
escape.
TIme other class of Cuban prisoners that
the Spanish mail steamers have brought
over are styled in Castiiian "los doporta-
dos , " and are in some sort political exiles ,
macn who have been arrested on uspicion
or on denunciations that were Insufficient
to obtain conviction even in military
courts. These suspects are not only separatists -
ratists , buy chiefly members of the autonomist -
mist ilart , and1 with few exceptions ; are
white creoles , Many of ( Item are men of
position and fortune , doctors , planters , ex-
deputies and civilians who have held eectve
cfiices in the colony. Mostbt them wore
sheeted by order of Marshal Campos and
a few by order of General Weyler , because
the local civil and military authorities believed -
lieved them to be , if noL abetting and In-
biting the rising , at least in correspondence
with the insurgents.
KEPT UNDER CLOSE SURVEILLANCE ,
After a term of close Iniprisonmont in
Santiago , Puerto Principe , Santa Clara , or
havana , these deportados arc placed c. . a
mail steamer and ahiowed some iibeitlr during
paccge. CII landing In Spain they are locked
up in prisans at army posts. Some are afterwards -
wards taken to the celular prmaan in Madrid
and piaced in cells reserved for first-class
misdemeanants. On payment of a daily allowance -
lowanco , dozen8 of these suspecta' , all of
them autctamists , remained in Madrid prison
for weeks early in the winter , and were
dali ) ' visited by many autcitornist senators
anti deputies , and other influential Spaniards ,
who petitioned the government , and mainly
did their best to persuade Senor Canovas to
parole them In some fortined town , as i
real guilt seemed to have been proved against
them. They wer ultimately transferred ,
under police escorts , to Ceuta , cii ( lie coast
of Morocco , where they are allowed the
range of the town , but are obliged to sep
in posts every night and are closely watched
by the police. They are not , however ,
treated as convicts ,
The general impression Is that the second
cleas of prisoners , ics deportados , will re-
gaul their liberty directly the insurrectici
ic' crushted by arms or ended by an arrange-
mnlt with the s2paratists and autonomists ,
It is oven supposei that rome ( lay , after the
pacification of Cuba , an amnne.'Ly vihl to-
leato all convicts who have been condemned
for purely political and military erlme.s in
Cuba.
General Weyier does not transport to
Ceuta all suspects that ho has caused to
be arrested , ho seems to prefer to send
them to the Isle of Pines , off the south coact
of Cuba , under military survollanco.
It is the Cuban treasury that pays the
expense of both classes of Cuban prIsoner ,
These revelations from my vel informed
Spanteb authority will doubtlesa. ho news to
Americans who are interestel in the Cubc ,
struggle , Apparently , even my informant
lees not know the number accurately , or
Lime real treatment meted out to thies&
prisoners in Spa'si's penal colony.

Amiother strong factor for the good of the

things which might be done to induce

will be acted upon. It Ia essemntial that the
bill Paso this week , as the Louisiana login-
laturo meets next week , and an effort will
be made to have the governor of that state

calling its attention to Nebraska's partici-
paion in the New Orleans exposition and
askimig for similar repreaentathon at Omaha.
