and degrees of offensiveness. The ap-
pointing Of a committee of five-for what
purpose need not appear-Was IN pro-

all over the hall with an enthusiastic

WAITING FOR DUPUY DE LONE.
when Ese Arrives tIae Alliance
Affair yyfli F2e Urged

WASHINGTON, April 1, 1S95.-Secretary
Gresham IS waiting with some interest
the arrival in Washington of Mr.. Depuy
de LONE, the new Spanish Minister to
the United States, who arrived in Cuba
yesterday. Secretary Gresham believes
that Mr.. de LONE will be prepared to
make an explanation of the Alliance IN
o.dent. as a result of his Instructions be-
fore leaving Madrid and as further
result OF his investigation of the matter
at Havana. From this it would appear
that the State Department does not re-
gard the incident as closed by any means,
but that it has courteously given the
Spanish Government every opportunity
TO acqua.nt itself with all the facts in
the case. From Spanish sources, now
ever, tine information is derived that the
Spanish Government will rest its case
upon the statement OF. the officers Of the
C0nde de Venedito, the gun'boat which
fired upon the nlercha ntman, that the
latter was within the jurisdictional limits
OF Cuba, and that as a consequence the
gu7liboat did not exceed it's authority in
endeayoring to stop the Alliance.
