De LONE MUST RETRACT
Guatemala s Minister Offended at His
UtteranceS.
AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE
Senor Dcpuy do LONE. of Spain. Is Said
to Have Been Making Statements
In Which lie Referred to Guate.
mala as an Inferior Nation.

Washington, Sept. GA sharp diplo-
matte correspondence Is passing be-
tween two distinguished members Of
the diplomatic corps In Washington.
Senor Dupuy de LONE, of Spain, and
Senior Lazo- Arriaga, of Guatemala. The
latter has called on the Spanish minis
ter for a public disavowal Of certain
reflections on Guatemala.
The two diplomats met at the state
department, where Senior LazO-Arriaga
personally reiterated what he had al
ready requested in writing in the form
Of a public retraction.
The affair Is the result Of one of sew
eral interviews and statements in
which Senor Depuy de LONE has ap-
peared of late concerning the Cuban
insurreatiOn. In these statements he
arraigned the press for partiality
toward the insurgents, and, In speak
ing of the latter said that IL the Cubans
gained the independence they sought
they would reduce Cuba to an inferior
place among the nations of the world,
analogous, he said, to the low position
of Hayti, San Domingo or Guatemala.
The statement reached Senor LazO-
Arrfaga in due time. He resented
Gpatemala's being held up as type
of an inferior nation. He thereupon ad-
dressed a letter to Senor de LONE,
which, although couched in the smooth
phrases Of diplomacy, left no doubt of
Senior Arriaga's indignation. The let
ter Is understood to have pointed out,
among other things, the following:
That Guatemala did not at present
have an insurrection of her people on
her hands that Guatemala had made
more material progress during the last
seventy-five years than Spain; that
1t was permissible for Senior Depuy de
LONE to make such reflections as he
chose on Spain or Cuba, but that his
position as a diplomat made 1t incom-
patible that he should publicly insult
other countries.
What reply. If any, Senior Depuy de
LONE made Is not known, but the two
ministers happened to come together
today while seeking Secretary Olney at
the state department. The ministers
showed all due difference TO each other,
but Senor Lazo-Arriaga did not hesi-
tate to expires decided disapproval Of
the Spanish ministers course. 1t is un-
derstood that Senior de LONE gave as
surance that the correction or retrac-
ton would be made public through the
press.

cabinet that the relations between this
government and Great Britain over the
Venezuelan matter are reaching an
acute stage. 1t Is now known that be-
tween this time and the assemblage of
congress the United States will call an
abrupt halt to British encroachment up
on Venezuelan territory. This will be
for the double purpose of testing the
Monroe doctrine and to protect Ameri-
can interests of the syndicate of Ameri-
cans from Faribault, Minn.. which has
been granted concession from Vene-
zuela within the territory disputed by
Great Britain.
The syndicate will take possession of
its concession within a month and begin
its preparations. If Great Britain OBJ
jects Venezuela will insist that the con-
cession Is within her own territory and
will protect the syndicate. At this
point our government will demand that
England submit the boundary in dis
pute to arbitration or else the United
States will act our own view of this dis
pute and carry out the Monroe doc
trine. 1t is known that instructions
have already been sent to Ambassador
Bayard to this effect.
