WASHINGTON. July 10.
The Spanish government haa oahlcd to the
minister here, Senior nupuy de Leme con-
corning the reported Interview Of Ambassador
Eustia In the Paris Figaro with view 10
having the minister ask the state department
TO disavow the uuerances OF MIR. EuUtls. The
exact nature Of the cable from the spanish
government cannot be learned, but II Ia
learned that II IA TO obtain a diRayowancc.
In this respect the representations probably
would be somewhat HlmilAr to those which
Secretary Gresham cahled to- the United
states minister at Madrd telling him 10 de-
mand a dtsavowal and apology from spain
for the lring on the Aliiancia BY spanish
gunboat II Ia thought, however that the
cable from Spain Is conservative In character
with view to securing action only In case
the Eustis Interview is shown to be authcn-
tie, II waa aont before Mr. Eustik had given
dlsavowal IN statement 10 a London cor
respondent Naturally this doubt as to what
reflection Mr. EuAtls had made on Spain or
whether he has made any reflection has
prevented action by tho Spanish minister
until the facts could be established. The
minister left today Tor Boston, where he will
De near Secretary o. State oney, who is al
ready In that locality for the summer.
Up TO this time the matter has not been
brought TO the attention OF the state depart
meht In any formal shape, although the Of
Metals have taken note Of the reported inter.
view.
As the spaniah minister has left town.
INC presumption Us thai he intends TO see
secretary Olncy personally and discuss the
subject, and also to satniy himself that thcre
n proper foundation before making n
complaint as otherwise he would be placed
In q most embarrassing position Even With
out the reiterated dunlai Of the authenticity
81 the Interview given by Ambassador Eusua
II IL generally discrcdited here, the news
paper which publllhvi tho Interview being
regarded as given to senaatunalHm.
II IL unfortunate for Mir. Euatis that this
particular story should be published at the
present time even though he succeeds In
stamping II az baselcsh. Tor II Is calculated
10 aifoct his future. II may be stated that
he has not found his post 10 be particularly
attractive to him, and some time ago he made
II known that he would like TO relinqulsh H.
This caused some surprise In Washington
In view OF the fact that from his life luug
association with the French speaking olc-
mont Of his native state Of Louisiana he waa
supposed to have a prcdlsposltun for the
French people. whose social aud national
traits would be entirely congonlal 10 him
hut the fact was that Mr.. Eustls preferred
his own country To any other. and was not
content TO ALLEVIATE himself from the Affairs Of
his native state. even for term Of four
years Now, however, II IL probable that
he must remain for some time In Paris
even against his own inelinntions. for tho
sole purpose of showing that his folinqulHh-
ment Of his post Is not In any way con
nocted-wlth the publication Of tho interview,

tho bright reputation be has earned while
