THE DE LONE INCIDENT.
Resignation of the Spanish Minister Has
Been Accepted.

resignation OF the spanish Minister Has
Been Accepted.
Washington, Feb. IL. - The personal
Incident growing out of the publication
of Senior Dupuy de Lome's letter to
Senior Canalejas may be regarded as
settled. This has been brought about
by the short cablegram sent by Minister
Woodford from Madrid, in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he (Woodford) presented the re-
quest of the United States that he be
recalled. The officials here feel an inter-
est in learning the details of the hap
penings in Madrid Thursday, and are
waiting for Woodfords promised full
report But unless this should contain
some statement that is not now ex-
pected there is no disposition on the
part of the government to protract the
closing of this unpleasant incident, and
1t is not expected that anything in the
nature of demand for an apology will
be made.
De LONE, in the letter, belittled Pres
ident Mckinley. The letter was stolen
by Cubans and turned over to the
United States authorities.
Washington, Feb. 16.-The late Span
lsh minister. Senior Dupuy de LONE, ac-
companied by Nine. De LONE, their
two sons and a Spanish valet, left

sengers lust in Time.


sengers Just in Time.
New York, Feb. 14.-The steamship
Veendam, of the Holland-American line,
bound from Rotterdam to New York,
stove hole in her bottom yesterday
week, either with her own shaft or by
hitting submerged derelict. After a
terrific tussle with the pumps, in spite
of which the water that poured into her
kept gaining on the workers, and when
she was within about five hours Of sink
ing, providence sent along the Ameri-
can liner st. Louis. In the dead of night,
with the sea whipped and tossed by a
tempest, the passengers and crew, PIP in
number, were transferred in safety; not
a soul was lost or hurt in the slightest
degree. The Veendams captain, the
last man to leave the ship, piled high
in her cabin the tables and chairs and
other furniture, and throwing kerosene
oil all over the mass, fired the ship. The
Louis sailed off just at gray dawn Of
last Monday, leaving the doomed ship
almost on her beam ends, with the
smoke curling up from her hatchways
and sheets of flame eating eagerly what
little woodwork there was left to burn.
The st. Louis left her and reached here
Saturday morning three days ahead Of
the time of the Veendam.
