The following letter has been received,

Mr.. John Joy EGson:
My Dear Sir: find in The Evening Star
notice of an Organization in Washington
for the relief and care of our District vol
unteers and that you are its treasurer. /
inclose g contribution to help on the good
work. and will do more If needed.
Am amazed at the cry of imperialism
raised against the acquisition, in the con-
duct OF the war, of the Sandwich Islands,
Cuba. Philippines and Porto Rico. The
United States is sufficiently strong and in
telligeIst to carry to successful issue a
war demanded by humanity and civiliza-
tion to take her place among the hrst-class
powers Of the earth.
Our flag has never faltered or fallen, and
1t never will. We will emerge from this
war with a prestige and honor never be-
fore accorded us. Sincerely yours,
July Z, 1898. ALEX. r. SHEPHERD

THE INCIDENT NOT CLOSED.
spanish Government is Expected
to Make a DisavoWaI,

washington. Feb II Much surprise
and disappointment is felt by the admin
lsiration over the failure of the Spanish
ministry to make amends for the repre-.
hensible conduct of De LONE. Not only
has the ministry neglected to disavow re-
ssponsibility fol.. tie sentiments expressed
IN the Canslejas letter. but it has made
no attempt so far as this government is
aware TO show any regret that the en-
oal RAISING incident occurred. Despite all
The statements to the contrary the Incl
dent will not be closed. Unless some
other action than acceptance De Lome's
resignation is taken at Madrid this Gov.
ernment will undoubtedly make known
us dlspleasure in an emphatic way, per-
haps by recalling Woodford The situa.
ton up 10 date was explained this after
noon by an official of the State Depart
ment with authority to speak for the'Gov-
ernment. This is his..stntement in.sub-
stance:
AS the matter now stands the incident
Is not closed, Genera Noodfo:d has not
oeeh directed to request or demand n dis
avowai fiom the Spanish goverun snt a
cable message received from him last
night said that the Spanish minister's
resignation hna been accepted before
Woodford presented the telegram of the
state Department. He said that the first
secretary OF the legation IN Washington
would he placed in charge of the legation
anu new minister appointed at once
Vie also said n full report would follow
rms Is nearly the exact word ding Of the
dispatch. We think Woodford's report
VIII come by cable. Nothing will be done
oy TINS government until that report is
received nothing has beer done by this
government beyond sending instructions
to Woodland RI q,
government that the immediate recall of
the Spanish minister here is deemed nee
essary The acceptance of the minister's
resignation precludes the department
from sending him his passports unless
tney are asked for. Until the report
promised by Woodfor1 has been re ceived
the government will not decide definitely
what course shall be pursued''
This statement shows it rests with the
Spanish ministry to determine whether
the relations between Spain and the Uni
tel states are TO he further strained. \
disavowal of De Iome's criticisms will
close the incident, but this governments
does not intend to allow the matter to
end with the acceptance of the minister's
resignation. That he has no otlicia' sta.
tus was the decision reached ty the adj
min stration in considering whether he
could ne handed his passports and dis
missed from the country after notice of
acceptance of his resignation had been
given the State Departn ent Only FOR
| eigners of official position can he given
Official passports guaranteeing then II
safe conduct from the country in which
they nave been representing their govern
ments.
1t is with the broader question of dig
nifty of the President and government of
the United States that the al n instration
has to deal, and ii intends to deal with
Vt in very positive manner unless Spain
shows disposition to make amends for
action of its diplomatic representatives..

ware story to-day of his investigation
into the Esterhazy case which was made
with the approval of highest officials of
war department until evidence was found
connecting the suspected officer with the
crime for which Dreytus was condemned.
He said: 81 submitted several of Ester

GOVERNOR TOM COOPER.
The EVer-HopefuI Joins in the Race
for the Rainbow.

Media, Pa, Feb 1O.-Ex. Senator
Thomas V. Cooper has Joined the long
list OF candidates for Governor The GU
cernatorial bee has been buZZ'ng in his
nonnet for long time, and he has about
decided to let the Republicans of the
State know about It. The announcement
Of his candidacy will be made in a short
time IN letter to the press, proba bly, to.
morrow, and what he says will be likely
to cause sensation in political circles
throughout the State
The coming of Mr.. Cooper's announce
ment of his ambition to be the State eX-
ecntive leaked out to-day. He says some
one let the cat out of the bag. He nd
mits he is can !idate but refuses to say
anything further until his letter and the
platform on which he proposes TO stand,
ure made public. 1t is understood, how
ever, that he will expect the support Of
no particular clique or faction, ard that
he will be candidate on business princi-
pies and for good government
At the outset this hopeful hustler oG
many campaigns realizes that his own
county is against him, and the delegates
practically pledged already to another
man. Judge Clayton is "A closesfriend to
William II. Sayen, of Radnor. the trolley
magnate, also II candidate for governor,
ana 1T is weil-know that CLAYTON, Mat
hues, Sproul, Robinson and Mcclure are
united in an effort to have the seven del
egRtes Instructed to vote for Sayen as
long as he can stay before the conveu-
lion.
Even with Sayen out of the way, it is
very doubtful if the faction now in power
would take kindly to Cooper's candidacy.
Recent happenings in politics in this
county would Indicate that the relations
between Cooper and CLAYTON are little
bit strained, especially since the colec-
torship was settled with Clayton and
Cooper left out.
Cooper is fully aware of the opposition
in his own county and ms IL is only four
weeks until the Republican primaries. he
is not likely to make Ii hard fight to have
delegates instructed for him from his
county He will, however, have the sup
port of the best element vi his party at
home, and there will be many good Re.
puhlicans likely to get to the polls on
March III to vote for him who would 9TH
erwlse take no interest in the election.

where spring trade is reported opennu in

of the week are the slowness of spripr
trade in dry goods to develop at New
