OficiaI Announcement by the Depart
ment of State that the Incident
Is Now Closed.
NOTE TO MINISTER WOODFORD
EXPLAINING THE ACCEPTANCE OF
THE MINISTER'S RESIGNATION,
Expressing Regret for His Criticisms,
and Saying Spain Is sincere in Her
Desire for a New Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Feb 17-Spain has Off
cially disclaimed in positive manner the re-
Elections contained in the De LONE letter,
and, as officially announced by the State
Department to-day, the incident is salts
factoriy closed. The statement given out
is as follows:
Following is an abstract of a note sent
last evening by the Spanish government to
Minister Woodford at Madrid: The Spanish
government, on learning of the incident in
which Minister Dupuy de LONE was con-
cerned, and being advised of his objection
able communications. with entire sincerity
laments the incident which was the cause
of the interview with the minister; states
that Minister De Lone had presented his
resignation and it had been accepted before
the presentation of the matter by Minister
Woodford; that the Spanish Ministry, in
accepting the resignation of a functionary
whose services they have been utilizing and
valuing up to that time, leaves it perfectly
well established that they do not share,
and rather, the contrary, disauthoriZe
the criticisms tending to offend or censure
the chief of friendly state, although such
criticisms had been written within the field
of friendship, and had reached publicity by
artful and criminal means; that this mean
council of ministers before General Wood
ford presented the matter, an0 at a time
when the Spanish government had only
vague Geographic reports concering the
sentiments alluded to: that the Spanish ma
ton, with equal and greater reason, af-
firms its views and decision after reading
the words contained in the letter rejecting
upon the President of the United States.
"As to the paragraph concerning desira-
bility of negotiations of Commercial rela-
tons, if even for effect and the impor-
lance of using a representative for the pur-
pose stated in Senior Dupuy de Lome's let
ter, the government expresses concern that,
in the light of its conduct, long after the
writing of the letter, and in view of the
answerable testimony of simultaneous and
subsequent facts, any doubt should exist;
that the Spanish government has given
proof of it's real desire and of it's innermost
conviction with respect to the new CONNER
cial system and the projected treaty of
commerce; that the Spanish government
does not now consider it necessary to lay
stress on or to demonstrate anew the truth
and sincerity of it's purpose and the
stained good faith of it's intentions; that,
publicly and solemnly, the government of
Spain contracted. before the mother coun-
political and tariff changes which it has
inaugurated in both Antilles, the natural
ends of which, in domestic and interna-
tional spheres, it pursues with firmness,
which will ever inspire its conduct
