DEAR MADAx Don Juan du Boso. first Sec
Rotary OF the roval Spanish legation. who went
TO see you Ia my name has reported to me the
conversation h, has had the honor Of hav-
ing with you saturday last.
have not failed to convey to her majesty.
the queen. and the duke OF Tetuan that you
had telen rsphed to her majesty. and l have
also reported the noble words you have ex-
pressed in your conversation.
Mr.. Du Bose told you that when your cable
gram was received the queen and the spanish
government had no knowledge of the arrest of
Miss Eyangeline Cossio Cisneros and also that
her majesty had given orders. as soon as IL was
received. to report to her the merits OF the case
and had been pleased to command me 10 in
form you. IL your message was true. that she
had received IL fayorably and with all the re-
gard due to . lacy 50 worthy Of respect as you
are.
The Information received from Cuba by the
Spanish government and laid before her
majesty. and that has been transmitted TO me
BY cable, shows. In my opinion, that q shame
less conspiracy To promote the interest OF one
OF more sensational papers Is ut thekottom OF
the romance that has touched your bod heart
The facts show that Miss E~vangeiine Cossio
Cisneros lured to her house the military com.
mander of the Island u Pines. and had men
concealed In II. who tried to assassinate him in
connection with an uprising Of the prisoners in
the island. For that ofense. far from being
condemned and being ready to be transported
to a penal settlement IN Africa, She has not yet
been tried. the public urpSecutor has mot vet
presented the case for the government; he has
not yet. as IS requisite OF our law. asked a
sentence to be imposed on her. and the case Is
not yet ready 10 be finally disposed Of.
These facts are very easy TO prove. The
American consul general. or any OF the foreign
consuls n CUM willing TO get information, can
convince themselves Of the nth. und coull
have been appl e 4 TO by the papers which
started this sensation IL they had really been
prompted by a sentiment of humanity instead OF
having been prompted by the desire OF incrcas-
ing their circulation By their usual slanderou-
methods.
The abs lutte falschood OF the press pubiica-
tions In relation to concrete facts related with
the case l. not favorable. certainly, to the ex-
a titude of the consid ration with which tbs
conscience OF the accused persons pretend &c
be moved.
I have the honor OF giving the above infor.
nation BY order OF her majesty. and TO inform
you. by her special command that she is well
and favorably disposedto respond to your earn
est plea. and | am instructed to ada that. as the
case stands. and before the trial has been con-
pleted. and n sentence imposed, she is not a.
lowed by the law TO int srfere. but that instruc-
tions have been communicated to the governor
general Of Cuba to bring "A speedy trial. and &c
grant 10 Miss COSSio all possible consideration
am, Madame, very respectful lily yours,
