11 Commerce Lawfully Under Our
Flag; Must Not Be Meddled With--
Prompt Action Asked
Madbid, March 15. The following
cablegram has been received here:
"Taylor, United States minister, Madrid
This department is informed that on
the 8th instant the United States mail
steamship Allianca, on her homeward
voyage from Colon to New York, when
six miles from the coast of Cuba, off
Cape May, was repeatedly fired upon by
a Spanish gunboat, with solid shot,
which fortunately fell short. : ! i
"The windward passage, where this
occurred, is the natural and usual high
way for vessels plying between ports of
the United States and Caribbean eea.
Through it several regular lines of Amer
ican mail and commercial steamers pass
weekly within sight of Cape May. . They
are well known and their voyage em
braces no Cuban port of call. Forcible
interference with them cannot be claimed
as a necessary belligerant act, whether
they pass within three miles of the
Cuban coast or not, and can under no
'circumstances be tolerated when no
state of war exists. This government
will expect prompt disavowal ' of the
authorized act and due expression of re
gret upon the part of Spain, and it must
insist that, immediate and positive or
ders be given . to Spanish "naval com
manders not to interfere with legitimate
commerce passing through that channel,
and prohibiting all acts wantonly, im
periling life and property lawfully under
the flag of the United States. You will
communicate this to the minister of for
eign affairs and urge the importance of a
prompt and satisfactory response.
iSigned) GRESHAM."
Spanish Minister Thinks Qresham's
Action Hasty and Ill-Advlsed.
Washington, March 15. The text of
Secretary Gresham's demand on Spain
was shown by a representative of the
Associated Press to Senor Muruaga, the
Spanish minister.
"I'm astonished," said he, "that this
course should be taken when only one
aide of the story has been told, and any
. action must be based oh the ex parte
statement of Captain Crossman."
The minister scanned the text of the
demand; forwarded to Spain, comment
ing on. the severity of the language that
this government will expect a prompt
disavowal and due expression of regret
on the part , of Spain, with immediate
and positive orders to Spanish naval
commanders. - Senor Muruaga, had re
ceived no copy of the demand from the
state department, nor. any, intimation
that this step has been or would be
taken, nor had any word yet come from
the Spanish government to him. Cer
tainly there would be no reply until all
the facts are known, not alone from
Captain Crossman, but from' the com
mander of the Spanish gunboat alleged
to have done the firing. , Spain will wait
until able to act intelligently on the
whole case. Soain will undoubtedly
rest upon the recognized principles of in
ternational law that a country shall
maintain her . sovereignty over waters
within her jurisdictional, district limits
.' He regarded the terms of the demand
surprising in asserting that interference
with American ships cannot be claimed
as a belligerent act whether they pass
within three miles of the Cuban coast or
not. This he considered a denial of the
, recognized sovereignty of Spain over the
jurisdictional waters of Cuba,
There is another very important con
eideration to be observed, ,. If the United
Highest of ail in Leaveaing Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
States made this demand then it is es
sential that the United States take steps
to prevent the shipping of insurgent
goods intended to be used against Spain.
Already it has been established - that
three yachts, the Llagonda, Baracoa and
Amadis, were loaded with insurgent
arms at Fernandi, Fla. They had been
apprehended, but subsequently released.
The -arma-were put in -the warehouse
pending attachment. When this was
settled Mr. Borden in charge; of them,
had shipped them" to unknown points.
The minister eaid that as this traffic was
going on, it was essential Spain should
protect herself or should have he (pro
tection oi the United States , there
fore, a demand had been maW by the
United States it would be Jportune to
consider what protection would be given
to Spain.
The state department officials today
rather expected Spain's answer would
indicate a desire by the- Spanish govern
ment for a proper opportunity to ascer
tain the facts before taking action in the
matter, but this, it is said, at the de
partment, will scarcely avail in the
present case, unless the message conveys
some assurance that the Spanish govern-
has instructed its naval commanders to
refrain from further interference with
vessels flying the American flag.
A notable feature o Secretary Gres
ham's dispatch is in the statement that
when an American vessel is on her usual
route the fact that Bhe is inside or out
side the three-mile limit does not affect
the merits of the case. From this it is
pparent the secretary has taken his
stand on the "decision of the Alabama
claims commission, which was practic
ally a new dictum in international law,
for it had been the rule previous to that
decision to regard beyond question the
right of a nation to detain suspicious
vessels passing within the limits of three
miles from its coast, over which its
marine jurisdiction extended.
It will undoubtedly cost Spain a bitter
effort to accept the force of this doctrine,
for if the right to stop suspicious ships
in Cuban waters is denied, the task of
maintaining an effective blockade
against filibustering expeditions will be
extremely difficult, if not' impossible,
without recourse" to a formal acknowledg
ment of the belligerency of the insur
gents. .
It is fully expected in view of the
prompt action of the Spanish minister
here that if Spain were wrong she would
make all proper reparation, and that the
incident will be speedily and peacefully
settled.
If, however, the Spanish government
should be stung by the urgency shown
by the United States and refuse to meet
our demands, Minister Taylor may de
mands his passports, and unless cooler
counsels may be coming from some dis
interested and friendly nation, ugly com
plications may - result, ending in' the
presence of a considerable fleet of
United States naval vessels in Cuban
waters to protect our shipping.

Chicago, March 15. Two hundred
angry Poles, men and women, stormed
St. Hedwig'a Catholic cbufch at North

the arrival of reinforcements the rioters
were driven off. "V"-' . .

moment, when forty', policemen with
glittering guns in their hands marched
into the church. Some of the' Polish
officers informed the mob in their na
