CHICAGO, December l0-Tha Journal
to-day prints an interview with Senior
Carlos Quesada y Socarras, cousin TO
Secretary Quesada, OF the Cuban Junta,
and son Of General Quesada Aguilar,
who commanded part of the Cuban forces
during the ten-years' war for independ.
ence. According to the interview, Senior
Quesada claims that the famous "De
LONE letter" written by the Spanish Min
lister, ridiculing President Mckinley, was
stolen I'm the United States and not In
Habana. Quesada. who fought under
all Of the prominent Cuban leaders, and
who was present at the death Of General
Maceo. says that DeLome's gallantry led
to his DOWNFALL that woman in the en-
ploy of the junta learned many Of the
Spanish Minister'S secrets.
MANY PARTIES TO CONSPIRACY.
There were many parties to the con-
spiracy which resulted in the theft Of the
DeLome letter" he said. 1.-The junta had
worked trusted agents into the employ
of the Spanish legation. These clerks
kept us posted on all matters so far as
they could, but this was not enough. so
It was arranged that a woman should
start up a Irritation with Senior DeLome,
and endeavor to gain his confidence. The
woman selected TO ensnare DeLome is
now in New York. DeLome contided
many things to her which should not
have been told.

WAITER TOOK THE LETTER.
Through the influence of friends the
junta managed to get n Cuban as a waiter
into the hotel where he was stopping.
He was supposed 10 be a Venezuelan. As
he spoke Spanish, he was naturally as
signed 10 wait upon DeLome. When the
ASpanish Minister wrote that letter the
tunta was promptly informed that q let
ter. contents unknown, had been written
to Canalejas. The letter reached its des-
tination at :he hotel, but II never got to
CanaleJas. The Venezuelan waiter took
II out Of the package OF letters and turned
it over to the junta.
LETTER SOLD TO NEWSPAPER.
'"The junta sold that letter to a New
York paper. 1t was turned over on the
condition. however, that it should be sup
posed TO have been stolen in Habana, so
as to avoid any trouble with the postal
authorities. Secretary Day saw
il before it was published"
About the time of the DeTlome incident,
Carlos de Quesada was in Washington,
in the interest of the junta, and passing
as a Venezuelan.

Preparations for the Porto

ATTACK BY LAND AND SEA
Prior to Landing of Troops a
". Naval Demonstration Is
Proposed. ..=
Portion of Skaters Command
Will Participate in the
Invasion.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-During the
day the president had q conference
with Secretaries Alger and Long and
Captain Crowinshield, chief Of the bu.
reau Of navigation and member of the
naval war board. It was stated after
the meeting that plans had been dis.
cussed for an aggressive movement, in
which both the army and navy will
take part, against Porto Rico. Before
going to the W. ite House Secretary
Alger had been in conference with
General Brooke for two hours. They
had before them q la rye number OF
maps of Porto Rico, and the plans OF
campaign were discuss ed from every
point of view. It is said that General
Miles will go direct from Santiago tc
Porto Rico, and that General Stone
and Colonel Michler of his staff will
leave New York in a da y or two on the
Resoiute to join the general at San.
tiago. Secretary Long would not dis.
cuss the naval program me except to
say that active preparations are on foot
Tor the next forward movement.
May Land This Week.
It may be two or three days before
the details of the Porto Rican invasion
are worked out, but it is probable that
before the end of the present week the
military forces of the expedition will
have effected a landing not far from
San Juan. Prior to the landing a
naval demonstration will be made
against the San Juan Notifications.
The vessels taking part in the bonn.
bardment will be part of the fleet Of
Admiral Sampson, but what vessels
have been ordered to Porto Rico could
not be ascertained. No definite de
cision has been reached yet as to the
strength and personnel of the land
forces to be sent to Porto Rico. For q
time is was supposed that few if any,
of the troops now under General Shat.
ter's command at Santiago wo uld be
sent to Porto Rico. but it is known
now that at least a part of Skaters
command will be in the new expedi.
