DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

january 5M, 1906.
SIR--ln consequence of the lust objec.
lions which your conduct had furnished
against your countenance here, as the
organ OF communication on the part OF
his cathslic majesty, it was signiGsd at
Madrid in the month Of April last, thro'
the mission of the United States there,
that the substitution of another wa, de
sired by the president.
In reply it was intimated by Mr.. Ce.
vaiIos, that as you had Yourself EXPRESSED
a wish and obtained permission TO return
to Spain, the purpose might be acsom-
Plished without the necessity of a recall,
and that such change in the mode
would be agreeable to your government |;
IN spirit of Cancellation the arrange.
ment proposed by Mr.. Cevallos was adj
rnitted and it was not doubted, that !,
would without delay have been carried
into effect. II is seen therefore not with.
out surprise, that at this late day, YOU
should have repaired to the seat Of po.
Vernment, as if nothing had occurred,
rendering such step improper. Under
these circumstances, the president has
charged me to signify 10 you, that your
remaining at this place is Unsatisfactory
TO him, and although he cannot permit
himself to insist on your departure from
the United States during an incIement
season, he expects it will not be unne.
cessarily postponed, after this obstacle
has ceased.
lam charged by the president, at the
same time, TO let il be fully understood
ina: the considerations which have led
TO this explanation, being altogether per.
sonal, they are perfectly consistent with
the ready admission of successor. and
which can be due to whatever commu.
n'cations his catholic majesty may please
to make, with a view to cultivate har.
mony and friendship between the two
nations.
have the honor to be, sir, with due
consideration and respect, your most o.
bedient servant.
