NEW YORK, Feb. 13--.A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: A formal state
ment of regret at and censure of Dupuy De
Lome's conduct, coupled with an expression
of sincere desire that the Canalejas letter
incident shall not impair the present friend
" relations between the governments OF

Immediately following the gazetting of the

representative at Washington. On the other
hand the Washington correspondent of the
World says that Spain has not disavowed
responsibility for the utterances of Senor
DE Lone and does not consider that any
disclaimer of that character is necessary.
From Spain's point of view the incident is
closed not only as to De Lome's reflections
upon the President and the American peo-
pie, but as to his declaration that autonomy
is a mockery and reciprocity a fraud. Such
is the unsatisfactory information contained
in the long expected statement from Mr..
Woodford received late last night.

representatives of 147.OOO New Eng
land Textile Operatives Take
Action at Boston.
PRES GOMPERS ADVISED 1T
IDLE NEW BEDFORD SPINNERS
CRITICISE THE SCHEME.
Contrary to the Original Plan Agreed
On When the Fight Against
Reduction Started.

BOSTON, Feb. 13.-At meeting to-day in
this city of fifty-fve representatives of the
Textile Union in New England it was
unanimously voted to recommend that all
unions call out the operatives in every cot
ton mill in New England.
The meeting was practically the outcome
of the recommendation which President
Gompers made to the Federation of Labor
last Sunday, in which he urged the different
unions to unite on some settled policy re-
garding the mill situation in New England.
At that meeting committee OF three was
appointed to take charge of the matter, and
after a conference this committee recon-
mended that general meeting be held to
take definite action. To-day the represent
atives of the various national textile asso-
Citations assembled in the Wells Memorial
Hall and for four hours discussed the sit
uation from every standpoint. The primary
object of the meeting was to devise some
method of rendering assistance to the New
Bedford strikers. 1t pointed out to-
day that if the strikers at New Bedford
could hold out for four weeks without re-
ceiving more than 20 cents per operative
per week in the way of outside assistance
other mill operatives could stand a similar
strain, and that if all went out it would
precpitate a crisis that would have to be
met in a short time by the manufacturers.
1t was also shown that the mule spinners
were in excellent condition as regards
funds; that the United Textile Workers
and the New England Federation of Weav-
ers were also in good shape, but that the
rest were short of funds. Other questions
were also discussed, and at length the mat
ter was put to vote. No one was regis
tered against the motion that the different
unions should order a general strike in ev-
| cry cotton mill III New England until salts
| factory adjustment of wages could be ar
| ranged.
/ 1t now remains for the various national
unions to take action on the recommenda-
ton. but what this action will be is a mat
| ter of conjecture. If all should acquiesce
and vote to strike 147,0OO operatives would
undoubtedly cease work and the manufac-
turers of cotton goods throughout New
1 England would be at standstill If, on
the other hand, only a few unions should
vote to strike the refusal of the others
would still keep a large portion of the mills
| in operation.
Inasmuch, however as the meeting was
| the outcome of President Gompers's sug-
gestions, and as he admonished the men,
hands and assist the New Bedford strikers,
| it seems probable that nearly every union
will carry out the recommendations, and
| that one of the greatest strikes ever seen
| in this country is impending
