Washington, April CO. The Spanish
minister. accompanied y six members
of his staff, left Washington at 7.S0
O'Clock tonight and the Spanish govern
ment thus terminated it's diplomacy re.
presentation in the United States. The
minister and his party left by the Penn
sylva1ia road, going Northward to Buffa-
10 and Suspension Bridge and thence to
Toronto. BY 1910 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. the Spanish officials will be on
British SOIL. They will stop for day or
two on the Canadian side OF the Suspen-
sion Bridge and will then spend some
days at Toronto From there they will
go to Halifax to take an ocean liner.
While the minister is on this side of the
border he hns the protection Of the pass
ports issued late this afternoon by the
state department. The departure of the
Spanish party was made without no
ticeable demonstration and although a
considerable number OF secret service
officers and police were on duty at the d.
pot there was at no time any occasion for
their doing more than keeping back e
crowd Of curious on lockers. A. O'Clock
this evening Senior Polo made hurried
call at the French embassy AMI the Aus
trian legation where Spanish interests are
left in charge, and then joined his staff
at the legation and started for the train.
An express wagon was piled high with
the trunks of the party.
Just before the departure from the le-
cation the Austrian minister, Mr.. Hen
gelmuller, and Baroness Hengelmuller
dropped in for last word, and several
other members OF the diplomatic corps
called to make their final adieus. This
done, the legation was vacated and the
party assembled at the Pennsylvania de-
pot. AS the minister entered the station

Early in the morning the execution of
the programme for today began with
conference between Assistant Secretary
Day, ex-Secretary Foster and Second
Assistant Secretary Adoo, in which the
wishes of the President and cabinet as
to the ultimatum were reduced to diplo-
matte form. The other events succeeded
each other with rapidity. The ultima.
tum was sent to,the Spanish minister
by Judge Days personal messenger, Ed
ward Savoy, one of the trusted employees
of the state department, who was ap-
pointed TO his place in 1859 by Hamilton
Fish. The messenger was not kept wait
ing long at the legation, but in the course

!, AT first there was some expectation at
the state department that response
from Minister Woodford might be expect

Lay had calculated the length of time
that would be consumed in the cal bling
OF the ultimatum to Minister Woodford,

be practically impossible, owing to the

the circumstances were most painful to

suggestion that he would be back soon

feared this could not be the case. He
said his request for his passports had
