His Policy Meets With Approval In Army
and Navy Circles.


and Navy Circles.
Secretary Gresham, in spite of his sickness
and the inclemency Of the weather, resumed
duty at the State Department and was closet
ed with Assistant Secretary Uhl for several
hours. Mr.. Gresham left the department at
p. m. and returned to his hotel. Neither he
nor any other State Department official would
discuss the Spanish affair further than to ad-
NIT the accuracy of the published text OF the
despatch sent to Minister Taylor at Madrid.
No expression could be obtained from them
on Minister Muruaga's somewhat drastic
comments upon the action OF the depart
ment.
The very serious blunder or outrage COM
mitted by the Spanish gunboat excited much
comment in Washington, and Secretary
Gresham's demand upon Spain to apologize
for the insult offered to the American flag
was almost universally approved In Army
and Navy circles.
