THE FATAL LETTER.
Carried By Judge Day to the Minis
ter'S Residence.

Washington, Feb. 1O-The original let
ter came into the possession of the de-
partment yesterday and was carried by
Judge Day to the minister's residence.
The meeting could not have been other
part of the minister. When Judge Day
learned direct from the minister that the
letter was genuine the cablegram to
Minister WOOdfOrd was sent. The instruc-
tons will go before the Madrid author
tiles along with the minister's resignation
When inquiries were made at the Span
ish legation as TO how the letter reached
the hands of the Cuban junta, it was
said that the statements made by the
Junta as TO CanalajeS receiving the letter
We're absolutely false. Private inquiries.
it was stated, had been made through
New York gentleman which had dis
closed that Canala1eS never saw the let
ter This inquiry was sent by cable direct
to CanalaJeS now at Madrid, and he was
asked II he mad ever received a letter of
the character described. To this. Senior
Canalejas answered that he never re-
ceived the letter and knew nothing of its
contents, that II he had received it he
would have made answer TO the letter
There has never been an acknowledge
ment or an answer from Canaleias After
this statement direct from CanalejaS the
Spanish authorities regard il as plain that
the letter was stolen in transit and the
reports of Canalejas receiving il and read
ing it to DR.. Congosto are fabrications
intended to cover up the plan byt which
the letter was distracted. The fact that
the envelope was not produced is taken
as another evidence that the letter was
taken in transit as the envelope would
have disclosed the post marks with the
country and Havana, if it ever reached
the latter place.

the blame for the sickness in the diff

Il want to say that had the war de-

conditions said to have existed at
Chickamauga. the troops there would
have been moved long before they
were. We received only good reports
at Washington from the commanding
officers, and it was supposed that the
outside reports were exaggerated.
The commanders OF camps are respon-
sible for the condition Of their camps,
and if the hospital and sanitary condi-
tons are bad. the commanding officer
must answer for it. The war depart

the demands of the troops for medi-

to Long Illness.
NARRAGANsErr PIER, z. l., Sept 10.
Winnie Davis, daughter of the con-
federacy.- is dead. After weeks OF
suffering. at times of the most intense
nature, she passed away at noon yes.
terday at the Rockingham hotel, where
she had been under skilled medical
treatment and the loving care of her
grief-srricken mother since the middle
of last month, when her illness reached
the acute stage and first aroused fears
for her recovery. Miss Davis came tc
Narragansett Pier at the opening OF
the social season. and for time took
her accustomed place as one Of the
leaders in the festivities common to
summer resorts. Her health had been
gradually undermined, though, and
she was compelled to take to her bed
little over month ago. For time
the exact nature of her ailment puzzled
the attending PHYSICIANS. but two
weeks ago it was diagnosed as malarial
gastritis. In the circles of her init
mates, however. deep-seated grief over
the demise of her father is held mainly
for her untiuely passing
away.
