that which it really never had given out.
But whatever the bank does, nobody
dares object to except those who have

reason it had been Withheld until TO-DAY.
Copies this morning were furnished to
the President, the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Secretary of. State,
and it is altogether probable that action
will be taken to secure the instant de-
parture of the Spanish contingent from
Canadian soil. The letter is of the most
sensational character.
