In spite of latitude and Arctic current Labrador is the home of much that is delicious in the berry world. Three varieties of blueberries, blackberries, wild red currants, having a pungent, romantic flavor, unequaled by the cultivated varieties, marshherrics, raspberries, tiny white capillaire with a flavor like some rare perfume, and having just a faint suggestion of wintergreen; squash berries, bear berries and curlew berries, white the latter not so grateful as the others, but a prime favorite with the Esquimaux, who prefer it to almost any other; and lastly, the typical Labrador fruit,' which excepting a few scattering plants in Canada and Newfoundland, is found nowhere outside of the peninsula the gorgeous hake apple. These cover tie entire coast, from the St. Lawrence to l.'ngava. Their beautiful geranium-lik- e leaves struggle with the reindeer moss upon the islands, carpet alike the low valleys and the highest hilltops, and even peep from banks of everlasting snow. Only one berry grows upon each plant, hut this one makes a most delicious mouthful. It is the size and form of a large dewberry, hut the color is a bright crimson, half-ripe- , and a golden yellow at maturity. Its taste is sweetly acid, it is exceedingly juicy, and so delicate that it might be thought impossible to preserve it Outing. MADRID IN FLAM Fit.

Comment Is various, depending upon comparative intelligence. Ail the rank and file ceem to think President Cleveland will act as a matter of course. All are jubilant ever what they feel to be a glorious finale. The more Ignorant honestly believe that now Spain must lay down her arms. They eannot distinguish between diplomatic recognition and armed interference. The less ignorant think that now cartridges and rifles will immediately become plentiful and that "expeditions from the United States will arrive dally. The intelligent, or about 15 per cent of the Cuban soldiers, realise that it will be at least a month before any real efforts will be felt. The feeling among the cjsibob soldiers is that something great is to happen at once. The educated leaders are uneasy. They fear the effects of disappointment upon the men when they find that, should It be completed, the recognition of Cuban belligerency does not produre immediate and great results in favor of ths Cuban eause. To conduct successfully a prolonged fight with the sword alone against the finest of modern rifles requires the highest courage in the Cuban cavalry. This they have done, and this it is that the leaders are afraid disappointmeat may weaken. The maehete must be depended upon until they get cartridges. These are what the Cuban leaders want. They have men er.ongh and guns enough they want cartridges. And they want their men to keep their spirits up until cartridges corns. They feel that their agents in the United States would have an easier time in sending amunltion under belligerent rights than without them. But if cartrlges and Congress both fail them, they still think Spain will have to spend mor; money than she can get to win the war. The Spanish troops have not been paid for three months. They are without money and there la not sufficient food to sustain them properly.

As the result of a call issued several days ago, 300 promi-neMissouri Democrats who are opposed to the free coinage oi silver at the Jrstlo of 16 to 1 assembled here today to protest, a they term it, against being read out of the party." Among the more prominent leaders present were Chairman Chailes M. MaflStt of the Democratic Slate central committee, Congressman U. S. Hall, 1 ranch and lion. Janies O. Broadeead. Alengthy address to the Democrass of Missouri was adopted unanimously. It starts out by declaring that the unprecedented action of calling the State convention to meet in Sedalia on April 15th, to elect delegates to the National convention, three months in advance of the meeting of the convention wac done with the avowed purpose ot influencing the party in other state and committing the National Democracy to the ftee and nnlimlted coinage of silver at the ratio of ,6 to i, regardless of the relative commercial value of the two metals and regardless of the action of tite other commercial nations of the world. The address then goes 011 to say : To make to the country at large a showing of strength they do not possess, the advocates of Ibis policy openly avow their intention to secure the National delegates from every district in the State, If need be hv depriving the voters of the several districts of the right never before questioned, of choosing their own representatives and electing them througli the action of the entire body of the State convention. And while these advocates of free silver propose, If tlu-- find them-ehe- s in a majority in the Sta!e convention, to deny all right of representation to the minority, many of them at the same time avow their purpose not to submit to the majority in the National convention, if that nnj' ity shall lie adverse to them, but to ."r.v he Democracy of Missouii ng.Miis1. he plat-for- r and nominee of the ..ional Demo racy. It is the highest duty of all Democrats who hold to the ancient faith of the party to no longer tamely submit to a policy which has brought upon the party nothing but humiliation and Is fraught with menace to the best interest of the country. We, therefore, loyal Democrats, call upon the voters of the party everywhere throughout the State to makan open 'active ai.d organized opposition to the effort, to commit the party to a policy which can only end in disaster, and if all whfc hold with us will assert themsetves hit voice and by vote, we may yet rescue the State from the threatened inisfnrlhae of Republican rule."

The Spanlsh-Amerieasituation growing out of of riots at Barcelona and other cities was regarded so seriously by the president that a special meeting of the cabinet was held last night, though the call was issued under the guise of a dinner at Secretary Olneys. Secretary Olnev read a letter front e Minister i)c Lome,- - Inclosing a he had received from hi government, directing the Spanish minister to inform the United States government that Spain was exerting all her power to amply protect the United States legation and consuls, and he could give assurance that they would be protected from any harm. Also that Americans visiting and residing in Spain would be safe front attacks of mobs and other riotous assemblies. n re-o- cable-messag- Another communication created profound surprise. It was a message front the Spanish minister of foreign affairs at Madrid, insisting that the United States government disavow the action of the Senate as a condition precedent to continued friendly relations between the two governments. The president and cabinet ministers present were inclined to excuse the message to some extent upon the basis of ignorance of the United States and their form of government. The only result of the conference was a practical agreement that the secretary state should promptly respond in kindly terms to the communication of Minister De Lome, and thank hi government for its readiness to protect Americans and American interests in Spain. The demand for a disclaimer of Ihe Senate's resolution will be ignored. The secretary of the navy, purely as a measure of precaution, will bring an efficient fleet of war vessels near enough together to mass them promptly at any point that may be threatened. A cablegram from Minister Taylor reached Secretary OIney early yesterday evening. It was as follows: The Minister of Slate has just called to express deep regret that a mob had insulted the Barcelona consulate, breaking its windows, and offered co nplete reparation. He informed me his Government on its own motion had taken every precaution to 'guard the legation and my residence. I have asked no protection." It is perhaps in part owing ti these official advices that the excitement in Spain over the action of the United States Senate, leading up to an insult to the United States Consulate at Barcelona, fails to find a corresponding relies in Washington, at least in official circles. Almost everywhere the feeling L that the affair is not one which neces. sarily must lead to liostlli'li-sFrom the terms of .Minister Taylor's message, it would seem that cither himself or United Stales Consul Bowen at Barcelona had previously cabled a brief statement of Ihe attack upon the Consulate, hut, if so, the message could not Howlie obtained here for publication. ever, that may he, it is certain that the Spanish Minister here, Senor De Lome, was early informed of the trouble at home und lost no time it couimunical ing to Secretary Olncy the facts, with an assurance that his Government could he relied upon to do everything that the proprieties required to atone for the insult offered to our consulate. The best indication that no serious trouble is expected to follow the Barcelona incident is afforded hv the course of affairs in the Navy and War department. w hich ran along this morning in the usual and quiet manner without the slightest sign of preparation of ships or troops or military stores, which might be expectodif it were fell that an emergency existed. The prompt action of the Spanish Government in so completely meeting the demands of outraged international etiquet'e, no doubt is the reason for the assumption by our Government of this serene attitude, and in view of the thoroughness of the apology fur an Incident that was clearly without official sanction and is chargeable to irrespon sihle students 01. a holiday, It is improbable that our Government will take further notice of the affair, beyond instructing Minister Taylor to acknowledge in suitable term our acceptance of the Spanish disclaimer. The newt of the Spanish disavowal was received with interest by senators and representatives. Senator Gray oi the foreign relations committee said that course was the only one for Spain to pursue. He added that it was not the place for the United States, a big strong s nation, to become excited over the of the people of Spain, hut calmly of abul-lition- Madrid, March 2. Cable dispatchea front the United States are increasing the feeling of ludignalion aroused among the masses when It became known that the United State Senate favored recognition of the Cuban Insurgents as belligerents. The newspa-pe- r here confirm the report that a Spanish naval squadron, consisting of four cruisers and a dispatch boat, la to lie sent to Cuba without delay. In addition Spanish naval officer and marines are to he attached to Spanish s, which are to be armed and equiped as auxilliary cruisers. The greatest activity is being displayed in the government navy yards, and every precaution Is belug taken by the naval and military forces for the mow serious eventualities. The Imparcial y declares that the utterances of the United States Senate consist of an unqualified and unreasoning provocation, adding: If the desire for war was in response to a fault committed by Spain, the Senators would be accomplishing their duty. But no provocation has been given to ihe United Slates and the Americans judge rashly of a Spanish American war. The distasteful language of the Senate ought not to surprise any one. United States Senators are accustomed to exchange gross Insults without crossing swords or exchanging balls. These are the cowards who are seeking war, and one awaits death with more coolness witli a good conscience than with a pocket filled wiih dollars. I11 conclusion the Imparcial counsels the Spaniards to reserve their strength and energies for an opportune moment. El Liberal say it is impossible to compare the recognition of the secessionist with the Cubans, and explaining thix asThen America sertion, remarks: congratulated Spain as a warm and honest friend. Can we do the Same to the Senate and President Cleveland? It was announced this evening that a number of Italian ship owners have offered in the events of war, to provide Spain with steamships to be used as privateers. A number of students during the afternoon assembled In front of the university with the Intention of making a demonstration against the United States as a result of the Senates action with regard to Cuba, and thslr intention was to mob the United States legation. But the authorities got wind of the affair, and a strong force of police was turned out. All the streets leading to the legation were blocked, and the students were informed that rioting would be severely punished. This city is now quiet The prompt measures taken by the authorieties to suppress all disorders and prevent demonstrations, and the large force of police present everywhere, having proved to the people that lawless acts would not be tolerated. Tne day has not been so quiet elsewhere in Spain and attempts at noisy demonstrations of protest against the United State are reported from several Barcelona has maintained points. the reputation it made yesterday for fodemonstrations menting unfriendly ugainst the United States goverment, and the mounted gens darmes hive been kept busy patrolling the city and dispersing gatherings of persons plotting to wreck their wrath upon the representative of the United States Government in that city. Renewed attempts have been made by crowds during the day to do violence to the United Stale Consulate. They were repeatedly charged hv the police and dispersed, only to form in some other place, with the persistent determination to do their will upon the consulate. Such tenacity of purpose indicates that mischief makers are at work in the crowd to make them follow up their hostile course against site consulate. mail-boat- to-da- , ANOTHER REBELLION.
