SERIOUS RIOTS AT MANY POINTS Katlvea and Spaniard Fight In the Streets of the Cities A Spanish. Consulate Attached. San Diego, Cal., Dec. 23. The patri iem of Mexicans and their fervent love ot liberty is shown in their strong sym pathy with the Cuban insurgents. Every day during tho past six months there have been encounters in the City of Mexico between Mexicans and Span iards, and the general government is taking severe' measures to quell any de monstration cj hostility to Spain. In the ctity of San Luis Potosi the feel ing runs soubigh that serious trouble is threatened. v Last Wednesday' night a mob gathered there, inflamed by a cir cular said to have been written by a Spaniard and defaming Mexicans' and Mexican institutions, and especially with reference to the part taken in sympathy with the Cubans. This circular precipi tated a riot. A crowd gathered early in the evening, constantly growing in num bers and violence until at 10 . oclock it bad reached the proportion of a mob, that swept everything before it. ' The mob gathered in front of the Spanish consulate and threatened to de molish the structure, but were finally controlled by one "or two cools heads. Banners inscribed with huge red letters were flaunted at the consulate, and vio lent talk and insults bandied. .-, The Spanish consul was in great peril and appealed to the authorities to protect him. The mob finally left after severe measures had been taken by the police, and plans were hurriedly made- to dis perse any subsequent gathering. VKNGENCB WAS SWIFT.

SHARP CUBAN TACTICS. Dynamited Spanish. Relief Train to Enemy's Great Lous. Cincinnati, Dec. 23. A special to Ihe Commercial Tribune from Tampa, Fla., says : ' - One of the Cuban leaders here received news from Havana tonight confirming the report recently received ot Spanish lpsees sustained near Santiago and other towns nearby, while attempting to cap ture the cargo of a filibustering vessel. The Spaniards were routsd, and they wired to Deechelaine, 30 miles away, for aid. A train was made up there, with great secrecy, but the watchful Cubans there knew of it and sent word to a near-J by insurgent camp. The track was dy namited as the train came along, .the bomb causing destruction, four cars be ing blown almost into splinters. The terrified Spanish soldiers poured out of the wreck, only to receive a withering fire from the Cubans concealed behind the roadbed. The Spaniards fought bravely for a few moments, but the odds we're too much, and they fled in all di rections, the Cubans pursuing them for miles. Over 40 Spanish ' soldiers were killed or wounded and 40 taken prison ers. The Cubans secured a quanty of arms, ammunition and medical supplies. It is reported that the expedition landed Bafely, and that all the cargo was taken to Gomez' camp. In Havana much speculation baa been indulged in today as to why Weyler changed bis mind and went to pinar del Rio section, instead of going toMatanzas and into Santa Clara province, as - bad been arranged. The solution is that. bad news was received from the trocha, and that the Spanish commanders, not wish ing to stand the responsibility, wired for Weyler. - t " ONE MORE FAILURE.
