4 BLOW TO SENIOR DE LONE.

PREMIER CANOvAS AND THE SPANISH MIN
IsTER WERE CLOSE Personal FRIENDS.
Lenox Mass Aug. S.-Sehor de LONE. the
Spanish Minister, seen tonight at the cot
tage i'm Lenox where he arrived yesterday. When
asked about the assassination OF Senior CanOvas.
the Prime Minister OF Spair, he said he had just
received a long dispatch from Spain. saying
that an assassin, who looked like an Italian had
shot at the Prime Minister several times. but
he did not understand by the wording of the dis
patch that he had been killed.
When informed that such was the fact, and
Canoyas was really dead, he was greatly
shocked, as the Prime Minister a close per-
sonal friend of his. He spoke about his being
the son of a poor schoomaster, and how he had
raised himself to his present high place. He
went into politics young and became Cabinet
Minister in 1861 and the leader Of the
Conservative party. Sehor de L6me's dispatch
said that the Prime Minister was at Santa
Agueda in the mountains in the northern part
of Spain, where he was to spend about two
weeks and had only been there two or three
DAYS. The assassin there lying in wait
for him, and was an Anarchist.
Senior de LONE said that there positively
no political significance 10 the assassination, and
that his dispatch said that complete order
order would be disturbed.
When asked who he thought would succeed
Canovas, he said that the news was SO sudden
and unexpected that he had no time TO think
of it. and, Of course, did not know. He was not
willing to discuss the political influence that
Canovas's death would have on the Govern
ment OF Spain or or the Spanish policy toward
Cuba He said however. that it would have
no immediate effect. but as he had had no time
to reflect. upon 1t he was not ready to discuss
It,
Canovas had beautiful home In spain ne
said. where he and his wife lived an Ideally
happy domestic life. They had no children.
Sonora Canovas the daughter Of the Peru
Wan Minister to this country, and was born in
Washington. She inherited a large fortune from
her father She was his second wife. his first wife
having been daughter Of the Baron OF La
Vege de la Hoz.
Sefor de LONE said that the death OF Canovas
would be a great loss to Spain.
