There is no foundation for the belief which ha:

fully and well.
London March pa dispatch from Madrid to
.srhe Times" says that the appointment Of Sehor
Dupuy de LONE as Minister 10 the United States
will be Razetted soon as IL receives the approval
OF the United States Government.
Although the Spanish Government probably felt
s,,re that the appointment OF Sehor Dupuy de Loms
would be acceptable 10 the Government OF the
United States II requested It's Minister at Washing
ten Senior Mur,aga. 10 ask for the opinion OF Sec
retary Gresham in regard to the matter This was
in keeping with the time-honored custom OF d.
pomacy as no definite appointment OF en- Am
bassador or a Minister to a foreign Government Is
gazetted before that Government has been sounded
as 10 It's Views relative 10 the appointment. The
Spanish Cabinet would overlook this forfnallty.
especially under the present circumstances, when
It's relations with the American Government require
delicate handling, and when its representatives In
the United States should be par excellence persona
grata" at Washington. Few Spanish diplomats
could fulfil these requirements better than Senor
Don Enrique Dupuy DE LONE who has lived for
several years IN the United states and made hosts
OF friends In the capital and AT Cncsgo re a
trained dplomatist, who has spent all MS lie In
the foreign service OF his country, with the excep-
ton OF the short time he represented the province
OF Valencia his native place IN the Cortes. Senor
Dupuy de f6me was In turn first secretary OF the
Spanlsh Embassy Washington, then Cnarge
d'AYares. and finally Iinster Pienpotentary IN
the same city Later he acted as CHIEF or the tsoyal
Commisson OF Spain az the Worlds Fair In Chicago.
SenOr Dupuy de Lone is stu a young man. ne
