Ihe Cry Oe Hunger To Be Heard In The Land. New York, May 25.—A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says. Tho situation in Spain is much more serious than is generally said. Black clouds are galh r i ing over the peninsula and it will be impossible to avoid the storm, ! which will burst with terribleeff ct and sweep aaay everything in its path. I Such at least is the impression which I have formed after stopping here nearly a month and after numerous conversations with high ly placed personages belonging to i the court, the government and parliament, and with tradesmen, middle class people and the mass dS. When Spaivards are spoken of, prominence is always given to the sincere patriotism which supports Hid animates them under tin xisting circumstances. 1 do no' mean to deny the patriotism of the Spaniards, but it should not be vaunted to excess, for in Madrid, furex'jmp'e, the fluctuations of tho war inter -ts the inhabitants le-- than Ihe next bu' 1 fishtor the draw’'Eg'of the national lottery. ’ raking advantage of the ex ,change French and Belgian com j factors have bought all the wheat ’ in "p in, on which they at once Iroaiiz'd considerable profi's, and , w lien the cortes passed a bill for bidding the “ port of cereals, the stock of cor . and vh ;at had al ready cros’d the frontier, leaving Spam with u* food for her own people It therefore became neces , sary io buy fl >ur abroad at ruinous prices to meet the immediate demands. In Madrid the price of bread has not yet made itself felt, because the mayo- promised to in d tnnifythe bakers out of the 1 municipal funds but the credits tor this purpose are not large, and when they ar exhausted the Mad rid baker-’ will also be obliged to. ■ raise-their prices.
