PHILADELPHIA. Feb. ls.-The Press
will prin, tomorrow what 1t asserts to be
the true version of the acquisition and pub
lica,ion of the letter of Minister De LONE
TO Senior Canalejas The authority cited
for its authenticity is "a Cuban standing
high in the councils of the party. who re-
eeived his information from headquarters
in New York"
The story proceeds to say:
THE letter was not stolen from the
United States mails. but was secured by
an agent of the Cuban junta in the post
office at Havana. Don Jose Canaiejas. TO
whom the letter was addressed. never saw
the original. He did not know until eight
days after the letter reached Havana that
such letter from SPANS representative
at Washington had been written him.
DE LONE wrote the letter in his private
residence in Washington, instead Of at the
Spanish legation. The paper. however, was
marked with the official type, and read in

corner of the envelope Senor De Lone did
not mail the letter from his house In

the morning IT was written, and carried it
10 the legation, where II was first seen and
noticed by a person who is in the employ
of the embassy. acting in sub-ofiicial ca
pacity. The letter lay upon the desk OF
the minister in his inner office. the outer
Office being his place of reception TO vis-
itors. During an absence of half an hour
from the inner Office OF De LONE. the clerk
in question saw the open letter and read
some of X. The next day this same person
sent word TO his Cuban associates In Wash
ington 10 the effect that he had seen a let
ter from De Lone TO Canaiejas, In which
Mckinley was viilifed and autonomy
called a scheme. Several of the Cuban
patriots got together and asked the en-
ploye of the embassy 10 secure the letter.
They did not believe implicitly in his story,
although he urged them to come into the
public prints and make charges against De
LONE. Because they did not have the let
ter i'll their possession the leaders refused
TO say anything about II. The employe Of
The legation was urged to use all means in
his power to secure the letter. although il

the hotel were informed Of its existence

countries, nor interrupt the negotiations

successor as representative at Washing

On the other hand. the Washington cor
respondent of the World says that Spain
has not disavowed responsibility for the
utterances of Senor De LONE, and does
not consider that any disclaimer OF that
character Is necessary. From spain's
point OF view the incident Is closed, not
only as to De Lonie's reflections on the
president and the American people, hut as

mere mockery and fraud.

ALaw to Preserve the Birds.

A new law in Massachusetts makes
the possession of the skin or feathers
of any kind which is protected by the
laws of that state punishable by the
same penalty as is imposed for killing
the birds. This seems to mean that
the guileless maid who buys her
feathers of q milliner runs as much
risk of fine or imprisonment as the
ard-hearted-man-with-a-gun who goes
out and pots the bird. In q state
where the schoolmaster is less com-
prehensively abroad than in Massa-
chusetts this law might make trouble,
but the presumption is that in the Bay
state every schoolgirl is ornithologist
enough to know which birds are pro-
tected citizens, and which are aliens
and safe to wear. The ostensible
purpose of the new law is to preserve
the birds which eat the bugs which
feed on the crops of Massachus etts,
but the promoters of the law are not
likely to grieve if it goes beyond that
and discourages the wearing Of
feathers altogether. -Harper's Week.

Effect o. Good Housing on Mortality.

The exceptionally low death rate in
many of the so-called model dwellings
in London is sometimes explained by
the fact that the dwellings attract
young people, and.the pick of the poor.

with the dwellings belonging to the
Metropolitan Association for Improve
ing the Dwellings of the Working

year of useful existence. The DEAN
rate among the 643O people who livt
in the fourteen blocks of dwellings,
situated in various parts of London
was only 1854 per 1000, which is just
half the average for the whole Of Lca-
don. These model dwellings, judged
by this fact, are as good as q heslth
