REGARD THE INCIDENT
 AS A LINGO INTRIGUE.

MADRID, Feb. g, midnight.-The De Lome letter incident Is regarded here as jingoist intrigue, intended to dis turb the relations between the United States and Spain.
 LONDON, Feb. 9.-The Washington correspondent of the Daily News says: President Mckinley is resolved that Spain shall have no vestige of an ex- cuse to pick a quarrel with the United States. and Spain can disown Senor de Lome's utterances without the slight est loss of dignity"
 With the exception of the Daily Mail the morning papers do not comment on the De Lome incident The Daily Mail says:
 we cannot suppose the De Lome letter genuine; but if it is, then all the fat would be in the fire. Things have reached pass where little is wanted to cause an explosion. Even the recall of Senor de Lome would not satisfy or pacify the insulted jingoes.''
 The American correspondents are all of the opinion that Senor de Lome's recall is inevitable. but they believe Spain will be allowed to withdraw him in the least disagreeable manner, as after the Republican criticisms of MT.

of Senor de Lome who wrote a letter to Senor Canalejas, sharply criticizing President Mckinley, was made public by the State Department:
 Minister de Lome does not deny writing the letter. This department has communicated with General Woodford on the subject. Until that communication reaches the Spanish Government 1t would be improper to in any manner state the contents of the message to General Woodford."
 While the department refused to add to this meager announcement it can be stated without question that MT. Wood ford was directed to lay the facts de- veloped before the Spanish Govern ment, together with the statement that in view of the Ministers refusal to deny the authorship of the letter the Spanish Government Is looked to with confidence to deal with the case prop erly. This amounts to an invitation to recall the Minister. No doubt Is en- tertained of the compliance with the implied suggestion, but in case there should be undue delay In acting the State Department would feel called upon to move directly in the matter and give the Minister his passports, as was done with Sir Julian Pauncefotes predecessor, Sackville West, who wrote the celebrated Murchison letter

Change in His Demeanor Be- lieved to Be a Ruse to
 MiSlead.
SAYS HE WANTS TO LIVE.
Thinks Life Imprisonment Some what Better Than Death on the
 Sceffold.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SUISUN, Feb. 9.-A close watch is being kept over Frank Belew, who confessed that he poisoned his brother and sister. Sheriff Rush believes that Belew will commit suicide if given the least opportunity and has accordingly detailed deputies to remain with him night and day.
 It is now believed that Belew made the announcement that he intended standing trial in the belief that the Sheriff would be thrown off his guard and not closely watch him. It is ad- mitted on all sides that Belew is sui cidally inclined and that he will do away with himself if a guard is not kept over him. Belew at first said that he would acknowledge his guilt when brought into court. He now says that he will fight to avoid the gallows.
 T do not feel as I did when arrest ed," said he yesterday, and have no desire to die. l think that imprison- ment for life would suit me better"
 Sheriff Rush is not taking any chances with the prisoner. T will have Belew watched night and day." said he last night, and use every pos sible precaution.
 The cell occupied by Belew is the one in which Murderer Keefe committed suicide several years ago. Some one smuggIed knife in to Keefe the day before that fixed for his execution. He cut his throat and wrists and bled to death before medical aid could be sum- moned. No such opportunity will be given Belew if the Sheriff can possibly prevent it. Belew slept better last night than at any time since his arrest. He was sick and feverish during the day. A physician gave him quieting potion and soon afterward he fell asleep.
 Constable Fitzpatrick, who aided ma terially in securing the evidence on which Belew was arrested, is still working on the case. He went to Dix on yesterday and secured evidence to prove one of the material points in the prisoners confession. Belew said that he used rat poison to kill his brother and sister and that it had been in his possession for several years. Fitzpat rick ascertained yesterday that Belew bought a package of rat poison at Dix on on September 1, 1891. The record of sale was found on the books of the Ep- pinger Company, Belew having bought the poison with several other articles on credit.
 It is not yet known who will defend Belew at the preliminary hearing Fri day before Justice Maynard Reese Clark has been spoken of for attorney, but he has not yet been engaged.
