Madrid. Feb. IL The note addressed
to Seuor Gullin. minister of foreign fairs,
yesterday nv Minister Woohford, referr-
ing TO tho letter written by Senior DE
LONE WAS Of the following characters
Minister Woodtord simply asked the
government whether the intentions ut
tribnted to Spain by the language of De
Lomes letter were true and also if the
attacks made in the letter by the SPANS
minister at Washington upon President
Mckinley were countrnanced by Spain.
The reply of the minister OF foreign
affairs was handed to Mr.. Woodford to-
day. 1t declares that Spain throughout
her negotiations with the United States
has acted in perfect good faith. The gov
eminent, the answer says, never enter
taiued any idea of sending such an agent
TO the United States as De LONE sug
gested, and the fact that De Lome's res
lSnation was instantly accepted proves
that the government recognized it's
oifense. In conclusion the answer en-
presses the governments regret at the
Importance which has been attached to n
private document. 1t is helie, ed that at
the meeting held yesterday the cabinet
fixed the date of dissolution Of the cortes
Minister refused to divulge the day, AMI
will not 10 so until at the cessation OF
the friction with the United States, but
the general idea is that the dissolution
will take place almost in, n ediately.
