Washington, Nov. 21.-Much Importance Is
attached by Administration officials to the forth
coming reply to the last communication OF the
sagasta Ministry Mention has been made In
these dispatches Of the summary which the state
Department is preparing OF what the United
States has done to suppress flbusterng. Ihe
detailed statement proves to be fuller and more
comprehensive than at first reported The
President went over It yesterday in company
with Attorney General McKenna and Assistant
Secretary Day.
The reply in addition to the statement OF
facts. will be in the nature Of an exposition OF
American policy regarding neutrality obliga-
tlons The statutes against filibustering Will be
set forth. and the position OF the United States,
both in local and international law. Will be de-
fined. After this definition Of what the Admin
istration considers the obligations OF this coun-
try. the facts will be given to show that they
have been faithfully fulfilled.
The answer to the Sagasta note will be ready
for the Cabinet meeting either Tuesday or Fiji
day. and will then be transmitted TO Minister
Woodford. The understanding in Washington
Is that the Sagasta Ministry will approve OF
making the diplomatic correspondence public
soon after Congress meets.
General Weyers evident purpose to attack the
Government for making concessions to the
United States gives added Importance to the
correspondence with reference TO fllibusterlng.

tend with at home are perfectly understood
