SITUATION UNCHANGED.
No Further Information as to the De
Lone Incident.

Lone Incident.
The situation at the White House as to
the De LONE affair and the resulting incl
dents is unchanged. President Mckinley,
as stated in The Star last Friday, has COM
mtted the management of the dealings
with Spain to Judge Day, and announces
that all information the subject will be
given out by that official. Judge Day was
not visitor a the Executive Mansion this
morning indicating that SO far today there
is nothing new in the situation. Develop
ments from now on are expected to be slow
and through less expensive channels than
the cable.
There is no longer doubt among the visit
ing statesmen at the White House that the
President has instructed Judge Day to as
certain from Spain whether DE LONE spoke
truthfully when he said that this country is
being fooled on the question of autonomy and
trade relations. An expression from Spain
on this subject will have to be diplomat
cally secured, and whatever answer is
forthcoming will be 4 good while off. 1t
is a question which deals With the sin
cerity of Spain, and which will be carefully
considered by that government. There is
| no way of Fastening an answer on the sub
ject, as there might be in the ease of an
expression of regret that De LONE should
have forgotten himself in writing IS he
did of the President. This is matter on
which an early expression be expected
but the other feature is one of such deli
cate nature to take time. On the an
| swer which Spain will make. whether open
and frank or evaSive, will depend good
deal of the future relations of the two
countries. The President has now reached
a point when he may be more distrustfu
of Spanish promises than before and to
disabuse his mind Spain will have TO &C,
openly and squarely. Evasion. or denial of
the right to ask SUCH a question will not
profit the cause of the Spaniards at the
White House.
Senior Du Bose n Caller.
Senior Du Bose, the Spanish charge
daffaires, was of the early callers
| at the State Department today. and this
naturally led to conjecture that his visit
was in connection with the De LONE in
| cident. 1t is stated positively, however,
that the incident was not referred to. but
that the call had to do with other pending
Spanish affairs
At the Spanish legation today Senior Du
Bose said he had nothing to say of the
recent incident, and had turned his atten-
ton to the regular affairs of the legation
He was not disturbed by the reports that
filibustering expedition had slipped away
last night, as he had good reason to be-
| leve that the expedition had not sue
oeeded in getting away, and also that
Sanguilly was not connected with it, as
| had been claimed An official memoran-
| dunn was made up showing the number of
insurgent leaders who had surrendered

MIR. Carlisle Wants the Letter.
| Mr.. Calderon Carlisle. counsel for the
| Spanish legation, was another caller at the
State Department today. 1t is understood.
| however. that he is at present acting not
| SO much as the legal representative OF
| Spain the private counsel OF Senior Cana
| lejas, to whom the De LONE letter vas ad-
| dressed. Senior Canalejas desires to secure
| possession OF the letter, and ii Is under
| stood that his visits to Judge Day are pre-
| limnary toward prosecuting those who
| were concerned in abstracting the letter.
| He has asked that the letter be delivered
| to him, and the department is now cCnsid-
ering the matter. 1t is understood that the
| Cuban junta in New York, through Mr..
| Rubens, gave the letter to Judge Day. The
| question to be decided is whether it shall
| be given to the representative OF the per-
| son to whom Ii Is addressed or whether
\ IL shall be turned over to the person from
1 whom 1t was received Mr. Carlisle con-
| tends that inasmuch as the letter was ad-
| dressed to Senior Canaiejas. n IS his prop
