luctantly made statement to-day on the subject
He says that on MS recent arrival here he took
the present quarters temporarily with view to
seeing II they answered the requirements Of the
Legation. He found. however. that it was desir-
able TO establish the Legation in the northwest
section OF the city In more easy communication
with other legations and with diplomatic officials
Moreover, he says, the present Legation lacked
the equipment OF furnished house, for which
the Government paying and was not In the
condition he desired. For these reasons. the Min
lister says. he declined to make lease. and ar
ranged to establish other quarters. the change to
