A Banquet 10 Editor Canalejas
at the Metropolitan Club.
NO FLAGS WERE DISPLAYED
The Editor of the FL Heraldo' Enter
tanned With Distinguished Com
pany, Amid the Rarest Appoint
ments-A Purely Informal Al
fair and There Were No Speeches.

Senor Dupuy de LONE the Spanish
minister, gave a dinner last evening -
the Metropolitan Club To Senior Cana lejas,
the editor Of FL Heraldo, OF Madrid. 1t
was a remarkable function at the present
juncture in international politics.
The fact that the banquet was given
at the Metropolitan Club was an adver-
tlsement that it was to be one OF the
distinct events OF the day. That fact
also conveys, without the sa wing, that. i'll
every appointment, the entertainment was
OF the highest order Of excellence in the
country.
) enor Canalejas has the reputation Gf
being one of the abiest Repubncan editors
in SPAIN He is the editor OF the paper
winch reflects the views OF the Spanish
monarchy, this being attested By the signal
honor paid him by the representative or
that monarchy III America.
1t was utended to divest the occasion
of any circumstance that would lend it
even the color OF a national affair For
this reason, presumably, in he decorations
there were no national cClors. OLD Glory
was missing, as was the flag Of Spain.
A further circumstance which tended to
make the banquet exclusively a social
affair was that there Were no speeches.
There was, therefore, no premeditated eX
preston of opinion Oh any subject.
The affair was exclusive in every sense
OF the word. as VIII be noted however,
there was on the surface of the compii-
ment to the distinguished Spanish journal
ist nothing 10 be given out 10 the press
except the appointments and the usual
routine apart from the 0ratory OF the reg
ulation banquet.
