This letter was sent to the state de-
partment by the messenger, and the
minister rejoined his friends and
awaited the arrival Of his passports.
The Demand Immediately Hnncred Min
lister Woodford Not Yet Recalled.
I WASHINGTON. April 20.-Tnc applica-
ton OF the Spanish minister for his
passports reached the state department
about noon. and it was honored at once.
Assistant Secretary Day gave orders
that they be forwarded to the minister
Immediately. No instr lotions have
been sent to Minister Woodford at
Madrid to withdraw from Spain. Ii
is said at the department that the
Withdrawal of the Spanish minister
here does not mean the immediate
withdrawal of Minister Woodford from
Maarid. In view of the department
the action taken by Senior Bernabe is
not regarded as a reply to the ulti-
matum. Accordingly Mr.. Woodford
will be continued at Madrid until the
Spanish government has had an oppor.
tunity to return such an answer as
may be called for or, failing
that. until Saturday, when he will
withdraw. The impression here is
that the action of the Spanish minister
was brought about by the preamble tc
the joint resolution of congress. In
view of what Senior Sagasta, the Span
ish premier is reported to have said
Tuesday,it is believed that the Spanish
government regards this pream BILE a.
an insult to the nation.
