a representative of the Associated Press
and said that he had no information
whatever as to the consideration Of. his
name for the Washington post, beyond
what he had seen i'll the newspapers.
He had just returned from the post
in Mexico, and was looking forward to
a period of rest in Europe.
Tho Spanish legation has received
no intimation as to the name of the
next minister.
Calderon Carlisle, counselor for the
Spanish legation was another caller at
the State Department today. 1t was
understood, however, that he is at pres
ent acting not so much as the legal
representative of Spain as the private
counsel of SenOr CanalejaS. to whom the
De LONE letter was addressed, and who
desires to secure possession of it.
There was rumor that Mr.. Carlisle's
visit had relation to prosecutions for
the theft of the De LONE letter, but it
was stated later by those fully cOnver-
SAINT with the facts that no move to-
ward the prosecution of those connect
ed with the taking of the De LONE
letter had been made or waS at present
in contemplation. 1t is said that if the
loss had occurred while the letter was
in the United States mails, then the
usual prosecutions by the postal authori-
ties might occur, but i'll the present
case there is no trace as to the point
where the letter was abStracted, ana
such evidence as is at hand goes toI
show that the letter was taken after 1t
left the United States mails, and was
in the hands of the Spanish authorities.
