XLV. NO. 281 SALT LAK3S CITY, UTAH. MONDAY 1896, Furious Because, of the Senate's Action on Cuba, WINDOWS SMASHED BY A MOB, Police Disperse the Rioters, Many of Whom are in a ment, and the Belligerent Dons Breathing I'orth Tire find' and Haval Forces to TOQ, Strengthened, Evidently with, a View to Any Demonstration Toward Our Minister Papers Tender Sound Advico. Barcelona, March by the The fever of Indignation and hate against the United Statfcs which seems to have taken session of the heart of alt Spain over the action of the United States Senate in rt-cog-nialrig the Provisional Government of Culm as belligerents and in calling upon president Clfvelarul to usic hi.s good oiliccs with Spain to secure the Independence of Cuba, culminated in a violent scene here today, and an attack upon the United States Consulate.

The trouble did not arise out of the spontaneous form of violence, but was the outcome of a public meeting which had been influenced by fervid speeches. A public demonstration to protest against the United States' action was org-anized by the political leaders, including Republic-ana and men of all shades of. political sentiment. II was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the meeting- had assembled, and there fully 000 people present, all In a state of high patriotic enthusiasm and rlpo for any manifestation of the emotion which pOHSoased them. They were addressed by tho orators provided for the occasion, and the purpose of the meeting was oxplo.ined as one of protest against the recognition of the Cuban Government as a belligerent power by the Unltod States Senate.

The spirit of the crowd took fire and they sot out for the United States Consulate. The leaders who had originated the meeting 1 seem to have realized the CONSEQUENCES that might follow upon a demonstration that took this direction, and they made' every effort to dissuade the rnoh from Hy purpose. But their utmost efforts were of no avail. Tho authorities of the city had by this time taken alarm, and a force of police was sent to tho Consulate. Tho oxoiUKl crowd was not Intimidated Ivy this show of force from gathering be- i'ore tlie Consulate and shouting, "Long live Spain" nnd "T'own with the Yankees." These verbal missiles did not long satisfy the aroused passions of the mob.

and In a short time stones began (lying from tfie crowd, -which broke a number of windows In the United States Consulate. The force of police Availed for no further manifestation. but charged the crowd under the orders of their ofl'eers and roughly disperat-d the mob, wounding several. So far as learned there were fatal results. Be.

lu ir driven away from the UnitF-d States Consulate, the crowd marched off. to the prefecture of police and gathered- at the newspaper offices. There they listened to more fervid oratory and were themselves worked up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and patriotic spirit. The Military club in the city was also the center of excitement, and there also glowing speeches indulged in In honor of the army, which were oa- jrorly listened to and greeted with loud cheers. The majority of those who took part in today's disorders were found to have been students, find they were most persistent in keeping up the disorders.

The police were obliged to charge tho crowds agrain and attain before they succeeded In clearing the streets of the rioters. After they were driven from tho streets they proceeded to the Governor's palace, intending to present to that functionary their protest against the action of the United States. SYMPATHY WITH THE MOB, The Arsons who took part In the disorderly demonstrations have clearly had the sympathies of the people with them. The onlookers from the neighboring houses cheered them with great enthusiasm. The banconies and windows were 'filled with ladles waving their handkerchiefs as the students passed through the? streets.

"When. thev arrived before the United States Consulate they found that a strong 1 body of pofice had occupied the of the staircase leading to rooms of the Consulate. The rlotouj students tried to force an entranre here, but they were repulsed by mo rued grens d'armes. A lieutenant of the pens d'armes was wounded by a stone thrown from the crowd. The students publicly tore up a number of American flags which they had purchased in town.

The student class seems to form a large proportion of the inflammatory element which Is making so much noise The students of this city are busily at work to organize a great demonstration to protest against the vote of the United States Senate. At Valencia yesterday all the students of the university paraded the streets, and then gathered before the PRICE: FIVE barracks and the military dues shout ing for Spain and the army.

Last evening showed a high degree of popular excitement in this city in a-11 public places. The bands at the numerous cafes made It a point to play onlv National airs, and evidently they could have chosen nothing more to the taste of their usually gay and careless customers, for the patriotic music unfailingly aroused the enthusiasm. nil within hearing arising a.nd standing uncovered while it was played, amid shouts of "Long live Spain," and "Down with the United The Bold Bullfighters of Warlike Madrid, March 1896. by the Associated one Judge by the things that have been and uome of the things that have done today, the Spanish people determined to go to war forthwith wtlh the United States and to apefcdily avenge the insuli. vrMcb.

But, whether he considered It 'unwise to inflame the public mind by an appearance, or for some other reason, the United States Minister did noil attend the opera, as it. was expected he would do. and so the hoViin came to nothing United States Minister Taylor, in fact spent the evening at home.

The Government has issued an order prohibiting the various demonstrations which have been planned by the students. This order applies as well to all similar demonstrations, and is- taken to mean that the Government does not at all approve of the course the popular ardor has taken today and last evening, and see? in it danger of complications and embarrassments for it in its present delicate situation. It is understood that the Minister in Washington, Senor dc Lome, has been instructed to make diplomatic representations to the United States Government regarding the action of the United States Senate. NEWSPAPTOR The Imparclal says on the crisis: "If things reach the goal which Americans desire, the whole of Spain will rise against the United States. Neither in the Mediterranean, entrance we commtrrul, nor In the Atlantic will an American merchantman be safe, for wo shrll privateers on a great scale.

We conquered Napoleon by gueVilla warfare, and we shall employ a system of privateers to overcome a trading nation. "Americans arc wrong to judge Spain by her budget. There are things which are superior to revenue. Some merchant captains have offered already to arm their steamers ns privateers. A captain of Barcelona asks for letters of marque, offering to equip maintain the fastest at his own cost." The students were summoned to meet at the university at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, but.

precautions had been taken by tho authorities to prevent a demonstration, and no, disorders resulted. The guard about the United States legation, so far as it is seen, consists of only a few policemen, but a force of 150 gens d'armes is kept con- st.apt.h- ready in an adjacent house in cant of any mn-ie against legation. In addition, the authorities have tendered to Minister Taylor guard of police at the entrance to 'his private residence, but Mr. Taylor has declined this offer. BULLFIGHT ENTHUSIASM.

The customary Sunday bullfight occurred today In the Plaza del Toros, and there were apprehensions felt lest, after the fight and its accompanying: excitement, the keenest which the Spaniard knows. there should be a demonstration organized. With the vast throngs of all classes of people who attend the bullQg-htis, the consequences of the awakening- of the mob spirit would have; threatened the most serious results. Consequently, 'every avenue to the Plaza del Toros waa occupied by a force of gens d'armes. As, It turned out, only a small knot of people raiser shouts of "Viva Spain!" and, they were quietly dispersed.

however, proceeded to the Comments of the British Newspapers. London, March Graphic describes America's action as mere jingo subterfuge. "No American will say," the Graphic continues, "that Mai-eo has achieved anv success justifying such a measure a he action of the Senate), which has its root less IK human sympathy Uian in ihe mischievous spirit evoked by Mr. Olney's Monroe doctrine." Tho Standard has a dispatch from Madrid which dwells at great length, on the indignation incited in ail classes; i-, Iho action the United States Senate, and tho unanimity of tho press in calling' upon the Government to tolerate no Interference-. This dispatch describes the in the streets upon tha arrival of the news of the passage by the Senate of the resolution, the people literally snatching tho evening 1 papers from the vendors.

forming groups under the lamps, they read the telegrams aloud. A similar fading is evinced in the loading towns of the provinces, the officials everywhere expressing their fear of anti- Amorlcan demonstrations. The Standa.nl correspondent adds that the Spaniards fire especially incensed bo- cause during- the past year the Government has done its utmost to conciliate the- United States by settling- all outstanding American claims, besides making concessions to American trade in the Cuban tariff. The Spaniards were led to suppose, the. correspondent continues, that the insurgents did not command serious support In America, when President Cleveland, his Ministers and Federal authorities wero affording the Spanish legation and consulates every facility to check filibustering expeditions and the notorious preparations by Cuban refugees.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES. In financial circles there is even a greater impression, because the Spanish business men more alive than the politicians and officers to the consequence to the Spanish finances from the moment American Interference obligates Spain to augment her already costly naval and military armaments. All securities have fallen heavily and foreign exchanges have hardened. The monthly settlement'on the bourse was rendered difficult. Most of the party leaders condemn the Senate's action as unwarranted by international law.

Senor Margill, chief 01' the Federal Republicans, says that Spain, has the remedy in her own hands by granting Cuban rule and ending the war by a treaty with the 'insurgents. Senor Salnioron, another Republican statesman, and the Marquis' CeraUb'e, chief representative of Don Carlos, agree to loyally co-operate'with the Government in o-f Spa-nish rights against 1'oraign intervention. The LJbsral party will support any measure to preserve Spanish rights In Cuba. I am able to that Spain intends to follow the same course that America did when the -European 'Governments recognized the- belligerency of the south during the civil war, snould President Cleveland carry out the Senate's Meantime four Ironclads, two cruisers and several gunboats will be sent to Cuba. The coast defenses of Cuba, the correspondent concludes, will bo Increased.

Orders have been issued to prevent demonstrations! throughout the country. The Standard says In an editorial on the above dispatch: ''We-'cannot be surprised at the strong feeling evoked, 'even granting for argument's sake that the United States, had the right to interfere. The language which the Senators used was recklessly offensive. If President Cleveland Is compelled to act, his task is rendered almost' hopeless by the extravagance of American sympathizers with the Insurgents. Spanish statesmen are urging their countrymen to keep cool.

It would be well if America would follow their example. Neither nation has anything to gain by allowing the dispute' to develop Into art onen conflict. We hope that President. Cleveland will do nothing further to exasperate a sensitive people. The Americans may dismiss as an idle dream the suggestion that any diplomacy will induce the Queen Regent to recognize the independence of Cuba." CALLS IT POLITICS.

A New York dispatdh to the Daily News calls the Cuban resolution an election maneuver, and says: "President Cleveland will not act hastily, if at. all." Tho Dally News also says in an editorial: "There are many reasons why the President, should not act hastily. In the present fierce temper of the Spanish, people, the recognition of belligerency would almost certainly lead, to war, uioiigh tno ultimate Issue could not; he doubtful if the Americans put their whole heart into the business. I.t -would be difficult to get them to do that. They probably would feel little enthusiasm for a war not Involving the national security or honor.

"Ge-n. Campos thought that recognition would be a blessing Tn disguise, because if the "United States sent troops to Cuba there would be regular battles Instead of skirmishes. "Canovas del Castillo has raised an alliance between Spain and Mexico to counteract American designs. This risk, of an alliance wo urn be anticipated in America by tlie suggestion of an alliance between Cuba and Mexico-, but Mexico does not take kindly to the project." An editorial in the Chronicle says: "Spain seems to be. losing her head.

She had better restrain herself. No great harm has been done. If Gen. Weyler suppresses this rebellion in a few months, the Cuban question will retire Into tho background for a time. Spain cannot afford to hold out forever against the Western world.

She- must remember what she has lost by a too rigid adherence to mere rights of occupation. Will she throw away Cuba, one of. the few relics of her grand Western empire? If it comes to a struggle, America could wipe Spain off the earth, either by sea or land." Good Advice to Spain. London, March Daily Telegraph this morning- editorially discusses the situation which Spain is left in bv the action, of the United States Senate on Cuba. It says: "It is an task to attempt to define the rights and wrongs of the question, which are.extremely complicated by misgovernment on the one side and reckless cruelty on the other.

"Perhaps it is not too late to save the situation by the reappoiiitment of Martinez Campos, with fuller powers of concession to the moderate Cuban party, and the immediate recall of Gen. Weyler. This mig-ht possibly pave the way for a satisfactory settlement of a verv delicate question. Failing- in this, Soain must resign herself to her fate with want grace she can command. It would be sheer madness to kick against the.

pricks and inaugurate the costly comedy of a ruinous war with the TTnibed States." DEATH OF JOSEPH HUNTINGTON. He Was a Public Spirited Citizen of Beaver Over Thirty Tears.

Editor organization of the National Bimetallic Union, which was perfected in Salt Lake City in May last for the purpose of educating- the voters of this Nation upon the financial question, has now been at work nearly six months, and a statement of what has been accomplished will undoubtedly be of interest to all, more especially to those who contributed so liberally in its aid. The main office was opened in the Fort Dearborn block, 134 Monroe street, Chicago, in charge of Hon. ID. B.

Light, secretary, of the union, with Hon. H. F. Bartine In charge of the literary work. The National Bimetallist, a weekly journal, was started at once, and has taken rank as the leading- and 'most influential bimetallic journal in the country.

The circulation of this journal has increased with wonderful The number for the present week has an edition, of 100,000 copies. Several standard works upon the financial question have been published, and are being distributed, among the most influential of which is "The New York Bank Presidents' Conspiracy Against Industry and Prosperity," a history of the panic of by G. W. Shuckers, who was private secretary to Salmon P. great Secretary of the Treasury.

There have been published and circulated by this organization of books, papers, speeches and essays, about three million copies. In the work of organizing in the interests of bimetallism, hundreds of local unions have been formed in the agricultural States of the Mississippi valley, composed of tens of thousands of voters, each one of whom pledges himself to use his most earnest efforts to secure bimetallism at 16 to 1 in the United States, regardless of any other nation. There ha.s also been 'brought about, largely by the efforts officers of the National union, a consolidation of all the bimetallic interests of this country far a th'OL'ougrh and effective campaign this for bimetallism, so that now our forces are. united in the American Union, and judging from the hundreds of letters received at our office from leading citizens from every part of our country, full of earnestness in the cause, there has been started a tidal wave' for the restoration of the money of the Constitution and to restore prosperity to the people, that will bury beyond resurrection, in this country, gold mono- metallism, the offspring of the greed and selfishness those shylocks and. vampires who 'would fatten and enrich themselves by the destruction of every business industry of the country and the prosperity of the people.

As an instance of the intense patriotism that is being aroused, I hand you the following letter from .1. Sovereign, who is at the of the Knights of Labor organizations in the United States: SOVEREIGN TO WARNER. Order of Knights of Labor, Sulphur Springs, Feb. 6, A. J.

Plowever, I am pleased to inform you that the. resolutions adopted meets my most hearty approval, and as a member of the pie's party, "will do everything my power to harmonize the forces for victory this year. The exigency, of times demand, and the working people require, that' every member of every reform element i'n this country make every possible effort to. unite the eral divisons into one grand party and with one National ticket for all, make a concerted campaign against the gold power and the National banks, I entertain strong convictions on other great National questions, but 1 can wait longer for them to materialize into campaign issues, than our poor destitute working people can wait for bread and shelter. I am willing to make the test and measure swords with the organized plutocracy with the money question for the issue, If we cannot "win on that issue this year and secure a lasting- victory for the common people, then there Is no reform question now in the arena of public discussion on which a victory can be won during- the next hundred years.

The perfidy of the gold power, the greed of the bond'grabbers and the crimes of the Administration with the consequent suffering of the people, have brought the money question nearer the hearts of the industrial masses than has been any other the civil war. With the avowed purpose of pauperizing our people and destroying free government in. this country, the plutocratic classes have combined gold barons and the National banks of two continents to fight the battles of Imperialism in America. They have increased our bonded debt under the.pre- text, of maintaining the gold reserve in such a way that at the maturity off the bonds it will cost the people more than! five hutfdred million to keep one hundred million intact foi three the people to the extent of five dollars to keep one cowardly, unpatriotic dollar in thevaults of the National treasury. With such an infamous record fresn in the minds of the people, and the wreck and rum wrought by the single gold standard everywhere visible, 'If caixnot unitc forces and destroy the last leech of the money power in this -country, we ter curse the graves of our forefathers and present an unconditional surrender to Morgran Rothschilds, or turn out the the watch-tower, God to, atop.

I will not recede from any declaration contained in the preamble of the Knights of Laboi or the Omaha platform. Nor is it necessary. In this hour of National peril, when the hosts of mammon are .1 shaled against the liberty and pios- perTty of the people, it is necessary to centralize around the issues that will concentrate the industrial forces in one united attack on the most vulneiaolt point of the enemy's tront. lo ffid the resolutions of the Washmg- conference referred to contemplate just that, kind of a campaign and should command the approval and bup- port of every lover of justice and good government.

SENATE AND HOUSE FORECAST. GALLS IT MURDER, THOS, DIXON- THE COAJj COHLBTNTE. It will Starve People, and Fnseze Men to of the Evils of the Day. New York, March Thomas Dixon, preached today in the Academy of Music, and In a prelude to his sermon paid his respects to the coal combine. The Attorney-General, he said, has announced that he has no power to Interfere with the combine, because the laws, as they are now framed, do not give him the authority.

This was true, and the Attorney-General could not very well be accused of favoritism. Under the laws it was impossible to prevent these people from combining- and increasing- the price of coal. The result will be that people will starve for want of heat, coal being as essential as water. Factories will stop that cannot afford to pay the proposed increase of 40 cents a ton, the employees of which will be thrown, out of employment, and the people will freeze. The members of the coal combine are guilty of murder, he said, just as much so as if they had driven dag- g-ers into the hearts of their victims.

The men who have gone into this combine, he added, have sone into it for the sake oC the dividends, for the money there is in it, regardless of the necessities of the people. Any statute prohibiting: them to combine could be used against any manufacturing company. "But there was a remedy. the sharks keep on. and when the next generation took charge for themselves thev would take charge of the mines and' the railroads and run in the interests of the people.

Every step like that of the combine only hastened the death of such a system. UNLUCKY SHIPS, CONDITION OF THE VICTIMS OF SATURDAYS DISASTERS. "La Bourgogne" Puts Back to Port for "New York" Hauled Off the Bar. New York, March numerous marine disasters gave steamship and shipping people plenty to talk and worry about today. The fog lifted this morning, but a drizzling rain, kept up all day.

After her collison with the "Allsa," the "La Bourgogne" an cliored in the lower bay, and this morning Capt. Perrot decided to put back to this" city. This was done as a precautionary measure, and to allay the fears of the passengers. As soon as the big vessel was docked a force of men set to work placing a new plate 011 the starboard side near the stern. These repairs, it was said, were only made as a matter of precaution, as the vessel did not seem the worse for her collision, with the "Ailsa," The captain and Superintendent West made a statement denying that the "Bourgogne was under headway at the time ot her collision.

On the contrary, he asserted, her engines were reversed before she struck the "Ailsa." He said also that immediately after the collision a boat was lowered, and a first lieutenant and a ship's crew were dispatched to the Ailsa," which, he said, was immediately lost to view.in the fog. The American line steamship New York," which grounded near the Quickstep buoy in the lower bay during a dense fog yesterday morning, came off at 8-30 this morning, and steamed at once to her dock irt this city. The first and second cabin passengers were transferred to the city last night, and during the night 1700 pieces of cargo were transferred into barges in order to lighten the steamer. Shortly before 7 this morning preparations were completed to haul on the steamer. Fortunately the weather proved most favorable and aided materially in floating the ship.

About 7 o'clock the wrecking steamers, assisted by powerful tugs, made their hawsers fa.st to the "New York" and with their heads to the southeast, pulled steadily on the steamer The ship's powerful twin screws churned at full speed, and at 8:30 the "New York" heeled suddenly to port and moved ahead toward, the channel. The Clyde line steamship "George A. Clyde" which was run into by the Old Dominion line steamship "Guayan- dotte," now lies beached on Long Island shore half Way between Fort Ham ilton and Owl's Head. Three Chapman wrecking 1 vessels are discharging- her cargo. The Star has a large hole in her port side, about midships.

CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. New York, March Captain Dioquel of "La Bourgogne," made the following supplementary statement tonight: "I was on the forecastle peak getting ready to lower anchors at the time of the collision.
