New York, May IA special to The
World from Montreal says;
Although Senior Polo y Bernabe, the
former minister from Spain At Washing
ton, states that his only object of stay
ing here il 10 recognize the consular
service, IL Is evident from matters that
have transpircd that the United States
has sufficient reasons to view his appear
ance here with apprehension.
II Is very difficult to penetrate the ac-
ton Of Senior Polo and his suite thor.
oughly, but 1t is clear to all here that
he Is directing an elaborate spy system.
Some United States treasury officials
have been here and have Swallowed the
party closely for days, and from what
can be CLEANED Of their carefully yelled
remarks the work Of the Spaniards is Of
a very dangerous kind.
IL is known that they have kept up
constant communication with both
Governor Macias Of Porto Rico, and
General Blanco Of Havana, but this
alone would not account for the inn
mense sums Of money that they have
spent with the telegraph companies
while here For the space Of three days
their bill for Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies amounted to
nearly $1,000
After much investigation Il was found
that a large amount OF this expenditure
was caused by cablegams sent to the
United States When they found out
that they were unable TO get messages to
OF from the United States direct they
cabled 20 and from there by the way Of
London.
They have also been in communica-
ton constantly with strangers who af-
forwards have been seen going into the
United States, and the secret service
agents seem 10 have positive proof that
at least one woman IN this city has been
approached by them for spy purposes.
