lied with such faithfulness, such absolute

Havana, Feb. Fla Lucha, in an
editorial entitled, KILLED by a Letter. -
severely critfcizes Senior Dupuy De
LONE, who fell a suicide from a high
position, devoid of ~shrewdness and dip
lomatic qualities" 1t says: His tragic
fall will prevent his ever being appoint
ed to any high position. His post he
had long held without suitable quail
ties, e%ntrusting to a letter, in a most
dangerous period, ideas of government
which II is probable are in the thought
of most prominent Spanish politicians
"If he had not presented his resigna-
ton the government at Madrid would
have compelled him to resign, not only
for speaking of its plans, but for reveal
ing its ultimate intentions, to say moth
ing of the considerations affecting
President Mckinley and some of the
most prominent men of the neighbor,
ing republic whom he Dragged he coulC
deceive and dominate.
by the sarcastic way he spoke o
Americans when he passed through
Havana we were led to fear that he
would meet with trouble, and we be.
lieve that the letter which has been the
cause Of the fall of Senior Dupuy De
LONE will be the shroud of his po-
litical burial"
The Union constitutional says thai
Senior De LONE is an able diplomat
and expresses the opinion that his re,
%signation, in the circumstances, will
only make him more fully ripe, by re
cognizing the Gu. an republic and in.
sisting that the freedom and independ
ence of the Cuban people shall be re
spected throughout the world"

Selected For the Place.
Madrid, Feb. 12.-United States Min
lister Woodford gave a banquet last
evening to the diplomatic corps. Senior
Gullon, the foreign minister, and Senior
Moret, the colonial minister, were pres
ent. Senior Gullon, questioned by news
paper men on the subject, said that
Senior De Lome's successor would soon
be nominated. 1t can be stated on good
authority that Senior De LOme's sue
cessor will be Senior Louis Polo Bern
abe, son of Vice Admiral Polo, who for
merly represented Spain in the United
States. Senior Bernabe is now engaged
in a special department of the foreign
ministry, dealing with commercial mat
ters and consulates.
Ell Heraldo De Madrid says: New
and menacing incidents tend to arise
between Spain and the United States
resulting from the permanence OF
American warships at Havana, the dis
play Of arms and ammunition by
yacht there, and h proceedings OF
the American congress-. This state Of
things inspires alarm, and the govern
ment is gravely preoccupied by a sit
uation which is becoming intolerable.'
With regard to Senior De LONE e
Heraldo suggests that his letter was
in effect, produced by President Me
Kinley's message, as he had previously
expressed very favorable opinions" o
Mr.. Mckinley.

DE- LONE INCIDENT ENDS
Our Government Will Not Hound"
the Insolent Spaniard.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY SATISFIED.

The Spanish Minister'S Resignation
WA Accepted Before Our Govern
ment's Request For His Recall was
Received-HIs Probable Successor.
Washington, Feb. 12.-The personal
incident growing out of the publication
of Senior Dupuy De Lome's letter to
Senor Canaeljas may be regarded as
settled. This has been brought about
by a short cablegram sen by Minister
Woodford, from Madrid, in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he (Mr. Woodford) presented
the request of the United States that
he be recalled. The officials here feel
an interest in learning the details Of
the happenings in Madrid on Thurs
day, and are waiting for Mr.. Wood
ford's promised full report. But I'M
less this SHOULD contain some statement
hat is not now expected there Is no
disposition on the part Of the govern
ment to protract the closing of this
unpleasant incident, and 1t is not ex-
pected that anything in the nature Of
a demand for an apology will be made.
If a graceful disclaimer should come
lIdl Will Be taken III lHt Slllll III
which 1t is made; otherwise the mat
ter will be dropped, and the relations
between the state department and the
Spanish legation will run smoothly
once more through the medium Of
Senior Du Bosie, the first secretary and
now charge d'affaires. 1t can be said
for the president that he shows little
personal concern in the matter as it
stands, and is not disposed to pursue
Mr.. De LONE in any personal spirit,
and with this spirit in the head of the
administration the end of the affair
may be said to have been reached.
The retiring minister is actively en-
gagged in preparing his personal effects
for shipment and leave taking of his
friends and diplomatic associates in
Washington. Some of his chattels were
sent to New York yesterday. 1t Is the
present purpose of Senior De LONE to
leave this country early next week. He
will probably sail by one of the French
liners to Havre, and thence will proceed
direct to Madrid.
