JAN DELIVERY IN KANSAS.

Washington. Feb. l0.-The state de.

licatlon the substance OF a cablegram
sent yesterday to Minister WOOdford, our
minister 10 Madrid. In reference 10 the
De LONE letter.
This statement follows: There ap-
peared In the public prints q letter ad-
dressed by the Spanish minister to Cana
lejas. This letter the minister admits was
written by him. IL contains expressions
concerning the president OF the United
States OF such a character as to end the
ministers usefulness ~ the representative
Of his government in this country. Gen.
eral Woodford therefore was instructed
TO at once say TO the minister OF state
that the immediate recall Of Minister De
LON 9 is expected by the president II
is stated that up 10 this time no response
has been received from the Spanish gov
ernment. Up TO 10 o'clock Minister De
LONE had not received from the Spanish
government an acceptance Of his
resignation, but II Is believed
that this soon will be given
and that the minister's Official connec-
tiOn with the government as the Spanish
representative 10 the United States will
come TO prompt termination without
the necessity Of action by this govern
ment In giving TO the minister his pass
ports. Senor de LONE regards himself as
now private citizen although technically
still the Spanish representative.

THERE is something truly pathetic IN
the death of John T. Kingston and this
is heightened by an unfortunate episode
which occurred at the democratic state
convention. Kingston was man who I'M
pressed you with his honesty,hls earnest
ness and his mOdesty. He invited conf
dence, but there was something in his man
ner that bore the stamp of sorrow, though
he was o. charming personality and at
tracted friends by the entire absence of at
fectatlOn, land a quiet cordlalIty which put
you at oEce on terms Of friendly inter-
course with him. He spoke evil of no
one though he was good Judge of char
acter. He was a university graduate, a
lawyer of acknowledged ability and a
man whose personal worth the people
had discovered and recognized deserved
". He enlisted as private and sancti-
fled his devotion to bis country by giving
his life IN her cause In the malaria infect
ed tropics.
He was lying dead IN hospital cot in
Porto Rico, separated from his compan-
ions, when his name WIS proposed for
the democratic nomination for lleuten-
ant governor. When his townsman, Mr..
Okeefe, rose to announce that Mr.. KING
ston WAS gold democrat and prefaced
| his remarks by saying she is far away
from home" some VISION of the dead
Kingston must have risen before him, as
there was a melancholy cadence in his
voice as If his better nature sobbed forth
