The ambassador said that he had
wired for details, but had received no

to SPAIN now in London, EN- route for
San Sebastian, where he had expected
to present his credentials to the queen
regent in the presence of Senior Cano-
vas Gen. 4Woodford was so overcome
that several minutes passed before he
could express his horror at the deed
and his profound sympathy for Spain
in her misfortune. When he recovered
from the shock of the intelligence, he
said: ''This is terrible, most unfortu-
nate. The Spanish government and
people will have the sincere sympathy
of all friends of constitutional govern;
ment. It is too soon to express any
views as to the effect which the re-
grettable death of Senior Canovas will

post as soon as possible in order to ex-
press to the Spanish government the

Key West, Fla, Aug. 9.-Intense ex-
element prevails in Havana over the
news Of Premier Canovas' assassina-
ton. Enormous crowds assembled be-
fore all the newspaper offices to read
bulletins about the murder of the prime
minister. Among the Spanish Of all
classes most profound sorrow was ex-
pressed. It was everywhere pronounced
to be calamity of too great magnitude
to be estimated at this time All recog-
nize that it's bearing on affairs in Cuba
is of the greatest moment, but of neces-
sity comment on this point is most
guarded. The insurgent party is con-
fident that the death of Canovas means
the downfall of the conservative gov
eminent, the recall of Weyler and the
freedom of Cuba. Capt. Gen Weyler
was summoned to Havana by Marquis
Palmarola, his secretary, Immediately

Views of Secretary Sherman and Sem
ator Morgan.
Washington, Aug. 9.-It is not known
whether the government has received
formal notification of Premier Canovas'
assassination, but it probably has. I'm
mediately the state, according to its
usual custom, will announce the event
to the president and the latter will, in
some way, make formal and public ex-
preston regarding the governments
deep regret. just in what form this ex-
preston will be couched is not known.
for precedents differ, but it doubtless
will be a dispatch to the Spanish gov
eminent, simple and sympathetic in its
terms.
Secretary of State Sherman re-
ceived the first news of the at
fair through press bulletins. He
expressed deep interest in the de-
tails. He said that the deplorable
event would have some effect on the
political affairs of Spain, but to what
extent he could not say. AS to the
consequences on the conflict in Cuba he
did not care to talk. Premier Canovas,
he said, was strong partisan. He was
the chief exponent of the element which
was determined to keep Cuba at all
hazards, Seemingly Spain was almost
a unit on this. Canovas was a strong
factor in the government of Spain, but
it was not impossible that another
would be found to replace him in that
important Office having similar views
and the same pronounced ideas. How
it might be in this case he was not able
to say, but the effects politically of such
an event were not essentially far reach
ing and had not always produced radi-
cal developments.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, a men,
Der of the foreign affairs committee of
the senate and the champion of Cuba
in that body, predicted in an interview
that the assassination might be the
forerunner of a complete change of
government, "a republic replacing the
monarchy.
This, he thought, was the present
tendency and the sad event he regarded
as an evidence of the disintegration of
the Spanish governments. s3ts4 i.ll,{ 5.s&t@ !
