INSULTS POUR FROM DE LONE.
Attacks Mckinley and Hanna and
Expects big Reward.

From Ine philadelphia Record.
Washington, Feb. 1O.-senar de LONE
heaped more insults on the administration
to-day. Talking to a friend he said:
81 am very sorry to leave the United
States without having resolved one thing.
For a long time past 1 have not clearly
understood whether l was accredited to
the government of the United States or
the state of Ohio. There is the famous
Mark Hanna, Mckinley, Secretary Sher-
man and the Honorable Mr.. Day. ell
from Ohio. Some of you that 1 leave be-
hind ought to investigate and determine
whether Ohio runs the United States or
has merely annexed it as an outlying prov
ince. Possibly that is the reason of the
stir for the annexation of Cuba"
Senior de LONE took hopeful view to-
day of his case. Speaking 10 friend, he
said: "Of course, | am sorry to leave
Washington just now, but then all is not
so bad as 1t looks. My resignation Will
overthrow the Liberal ministry, and when
the Conservatives return am certain to
be made the minister of state for Spain,
so that have not lost ALL
Senior de Lone withdrew this morning
invitations he had issued for dinner
party tonight in honor of the newly ar
rived French ambassador, NJ. Cambon,
on the ground that his speedy departure
from this city would make ii impractical
bile TO entertain tonight, and he will 10
morrow withdraw invitations for next
Monday night Secretary sherman was
TO have been one of his guests tonight.
Senior de LONE and his wlfe were not
very popular with their colleagues, or with
society in general, because of their rather
naughty ways and sarcastic sayings.
There was a good deal of sarcasm and
some laughter at the expense OF the De
Tones in the society conversations to-day
about their downfall
The members of the diplomatic corps
beginning with Ambassador Pauncefote,
fine dean, called on Senior de LONE to-day,
according to custom, when an ambassa-
dor or a minister resigns, and as they
couId not have done IL he had been re-
called or dismissed.
Senior de LONE is famous for bonmots.
BEING enraged by newspaper man on one
occasion. he broke out: II understood that
The newspaper men used to be paid by the
line. but / have learned that they are now
paid by the lie"
on another occasion brother diplomat
was suggesting to him that ii would be to
his advantage TO treat the newspaper fra
ternity more cordially; he said:
"Nv dear friend, what Is the use. They
hate me. If 1 were to send one of them
the Lords prayer, by some method they
would distort 1t and next morning / would
see big headlines in the papers: Behold!
How this scoundrel prays
Secretary Olney, when shown the draft
Of the first Cuban reforms, expressed sur
nrise mat the salary of the Captain Gen
eral was $4,000 per annum, while the sal
ary of the American Secretary of State
was no more than $1,000, with certainly
great deal more work, and De LONE is
said to have replied:
eyes, Mr. Secretary; but the Spanish
have the habit Of paying their officials
anongh salary SO that they will not be
