There is another disappointment for
the iingoss in the United Staten
Senate, in the fact that Spain has no
desire whatever to make break in her
diplomatic relations with this country
over the De LONE affair, or to furnish
tho slightest pretext for an open
rupture. The Spanish Council has
appointed Ssnor Louis Polo do Ber
nabe, now Director of Commerce in
the Foreign Office, to succeed De I!pme
as minister, and Madrid special to
the New York Herald, Tuesday indicator
that the Spanish government is ready
to make whatever amends may be
necessary with respect to De LONE a
foolish course. The special announces
that the Spanish Council will maks d
fitting reply to Minister Woodford' Is
statement. and quotes an assertion by a
prominent member of the Council, as
follows:
"lou may say openly, az coming
nom Senior Sagasta and from each Of
%, that we entirely condemn, in the
most absolute manner, Senior DE Lome's
letter. We are ashamed. grieved and
sorry thereai. The ministers feel more
aggrieved than President McKinley
can possibly be. We are honest men,
who have been placed in a false DO
sition by fool"
Nothing more could be asked. Ant
