OUR MINISTER TO SPAIN

We learn from the q" New York Express"

suit was ttiered 10 our Minister in the pres.

had s'rnethlng more than an Individual meal

hasssdor approached Narvsez 10 the ball
room, 10 salute him but the bitter shoaied
out al the top Of his voice: 81 will not have
anything 10 say to one who represents a pa.
ton that harbors pirates and encourages pub
lie ielonies." Having uttered these words
IN tone loud enough to be heard oil over
the room, Narvafz turned his back upon the
American Penlpoieniiary, who was OF once
