Legation of the United States,
Madrid, April 16, 1898.

Informed this morning (Saturday) by the United States consul at Malaga that his consulate was mobbed last night. I immediately demanded protection by Spanish Government of all American consulates in Spain. Local Spanish authorities at Malaga have suppressed the mob and replaced the United States shield, which had been destroyed.

Saturday Evening.
