SENT TO CANALEJAS.
De LON. Letter Turned Over to Its
RishtfuI Owner.

De LON. Letter Turned Over to Its
Riehtfu, Owner.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Actuated by
o sense Of honor and a strict idea of
justice the state department has taken
steps to place in tho hands of Senor
Canalejas, to whom the letter was adj
dressed, the epistle written by Senor
Dupuy dc LONE, which led to the res
ignation Of the minister. The transac-
ton is explained i'll the following brief
statement given out by the state de-
partment:
"Recognizing that the legal owner.
ship of the De LONE letter is in Mr..
Canalejas. and his agent and attorney,
Mr.. Carlisle, having presented proper
authority to receive the same, the let
ter was delivered to him."
AS explained in this statement Mr..
Carlisle was fully authorized to apply
for and receive the letter, having the
cabled authorization from Senor Can
alejas. In the view Of the state depart.
ment the letter was stolen document,
and in that, like any other piece of
property, it should, upon application,
be delivered to its rightful owner.
No Apology Demanded.
There now remains only the closing
chapter of the incident to bo written,
for the end is already in sight Not.
withstanding all that has been said in
the press about demands on Spain for
apologies or retractions of tho disagree.
able things said by Senor Dupuy dc
LONE in his letter, it can be positively
stated that ut no time since the pub
LEGATION Of the letter has the state de.
partment taken any such course. In.
stead, it has relied entirely upon the
sense of propricty of the Spanish gov
ernment to do all that was proper and
ncedful to wipe out tho unpleasant i'm.
preston produced by these statements,
and it can now be said that this course
has been fully justified, and that the
Spanish cabinet, now being aware Of
the full text of the letter, is expected
within day OF two to make such dis
claimer of tho letter as is required by
tho circumstances.
