| WOODFORD'S MESSAGE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-The officials
of the State Department still MAINTAIN
their reticence as to the contents of the
cablegram from Minister Woodford, re-
ceived late Saturday night. 1t may be
said that all statements so FAR made as
| to the nature of this dispatch are spec
ulative. The message was not deciph-
cred until we'll along in the afternoon
Yesterday and then it passed into the
hands of Assistant Secretary Day and
the President, in turn, who have been
the only persons in Washington to see
the dispatch No answer has been made
as vet to Mr.. Woodfords message and
| it is by no means certain that an answer
will be required.
| Senior Du Bose, the Spanish Charge
Id'Affaires, was one of the early callers
at the state Department, and this led
| to conjecture that his visit vas in con-
nection with the De LONE incident. II
is stated positively. however. that the
incident was not referred to. Everything
Irelating to the De LONE matter thus fal
has taken place at Madrid, through Min

quarters it was believed that there would
be a formal disavowal by Spain, but i
will be deferred until new Minister il
sent one of whose first official acts will bt
to make an amende and re-establish cor
dial relations on all pending questions
Calderon Carlisle, Counsellor for th'
Spanish Legation, was an early callel
at the State Department.
There was report that a letter u
lCalderon Carlisle had relation to prose
cutions for theft of the De LONE letter
but it was stated later by those full,
conversant with the facts that M
move toward the prosecution of thos

LONE letter has been made or was
pesent in. contemplation. 1t Is SAT-
that if the loss had occurred while tn
letter was in the United states mall
then the usual prosecution by the posta
authorities might occur, but in the pres
ent case there is no trace as to the pom
where the letter was distracted, an
such evidence as is at hand goes I
