WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Our Special Correspondent,

demand business. ONO lsn MAX
inc d demand that the United
States shall apologize, but her
minister has been instructed to
ask that this government will Of
dcially disavow the sentiments al
LACED TO have been expressed by
Ambassador Eustis in an inter
view published by q Paris newspa-
ner. Ambassador Eustis has al
readyrepudiated that alleged in-
teryiew, which he branded as q
fake. but that has no effect upon
the Spanish minister, who has
zone to Massachusetts for the pur-4
nose of presenting his demand to
Secretary Olney in person, not
caring to deal with the subordi-
nate who is in charge of the State
department. The Spanish minis
ter probably knows, in common
with everybody else, that Ambas-
sador Eustis never expressed, for
publication, the sentiments credit
ed to him III that interview, but
he doubtless thinks it a good OPP
portunity to get the L. S. govern
ment to officially say that it does
not sympathize with the Cuban re-
bellion, or something to that effect.
If it be true that Secretary Olney
has been listening to the seductive
buzzing of the presidential bee the
Spanish minister may be sorry he
made that demand, as the Secreta-
ry may see in it an opportunity to
give his candidacy q boost by
making the American eagle let out
scream or two. 1t is more prob
able, however, that the denial of
theinterview by Ambassador Eus-
tbs will be considered sufficient
answer to the demand. Spain
would do we'll to be very careful,
about such demands. This gov
eminent is, of course, neutral, but
there is little doubt that an over
whelming majority of the people
in this country sympathize with
the Cubans and would at Il pinch
help them throw off Spanish rule.
Ex-Secretary OF State Foster,
who has just returned from China,
where it is said he was paid the
modest fee of $25O,00O for acting
as diplomatic adviser to the Chi
:s9se government in the peace nego-
tlations with Japan, brought some
real political news to Washington,

Harrison can be depended upon.

al and political friend and was his
Secretary of State after Mr.. Blaine
resigned. For that reason what
