Madrid, February 14.-T1e cabinet
met at o'clock this afternoon and
discussed the present state Of war in
Cuba and the De Lone matter at great
length
1t was decided to publish a decree
accepting the resignation of Senior
Dupuy De Lone as minister at Wash
ington and appointing Senior Louis
Polo Bernabe as his successor.
Washington, D. c., February IA
Actuated by sense of honor and a
strict idea of justice, the State De-
partment has taken steps to place in
the hands of Senior Canalejas, to
whom the letter was addressed, the
epistle written by Senior Dupuy De
LONE, which led to the resignation of
the minister The transaction is ex-
planned in the following brief state
ment given out tonight by the State
Department.
Recognizing that the legal owner
ship of the De LONE letter is in Mr..
Canalejas and his agent and attorney,
Mr. Calderon Carlisle having present
ed proper authority to receive the
same, the letter was delivered to him
to-day"
AS explained in this statement, Mr.
Carlisle was fully authorized to apply
for and receive the letter, having the
cabled authorization from Senior Can
alejas In the view of the State De-
partment, the letter was a stolen doc
ument and that, like any other piece
of property, it should, upon appllca-
ton, be delivered to its rightful own
er. There was no other case left
open, for in the United States, as in
all other countries having a code OF
laws, letter becomes the sole prop
erty of the person to whom 1t is ad-
dressed Immediately it starts on its
way from the sender. Even the latter
cannot obtain possession of 1t with
out the consent of the person ad-
dressed; the limit of his powers legally
being in certain cases to stop the de-
livery OF the paper. This letter has
besides already completely served all
Of the uses for which it might be ap-
piled by our government and there
are in existence fac-simile copies of
the paper that are so surely authent1-
Gated as to leave no legal doubt of
their accuracy.
There now remains only the closing
chapter Of the incident to be written
and the end is already in sight.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said in the press about demands on
Spain for apologies or retractions of
the disagreeable things said by Senior
Dupuy de LONE in his letter, it can
be positively stated that at no time
since the publication Of the letter has
the State Department taken any such
course Instead, it has relied entire
ly upon the sense of propriety of the
Spanish government to do all that was
proper and needful to wipe out the
unpleasant impression produced by
these statements, and it can now be
said that this course has been fully
justified and that the Spanish cab
met, now being aware of the full text
of the letter, is expected within a day
or two to make such disclaimer Of the
letter as is required by the circum-
stances.
Tonight the State Department re-
ceived official notice from Madrid of
the selection of Senior Louis Polo Ber-
nabe as United States minister to sue
coed Senior Dupuy de LONE.

Of ITS revenues, it is quite as proper for
it to do so by an issue Of paper money,
which operates as loan from the whole
