Secretary Day was in consultation
with the president on the subject at
least four times during the official day,
and then spent much time in framing
his message to United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid. The official state
ment of the sending of this message
was accompanied by INCLINATION to
indicate its contents at this time, the
department merely giving to the press
the following statement:
minister de LONE does not deny writ
ing the letter. This department has COM
municated with General Woodford on
the subject. Until that communication
reaches the Spanish government it
would be improper to in any manner
state the contents of the message to
General Woodford.'
While the department refused to add
anything 10 this Ineager announce.
ment, it can be stated without ques-
ton that Mr.. Woodford was directed
to lay the facts developed before the
Spanish government, together with the
statement that in view of the minis

the letter the Spanish government is
looked to with confidence to deal with
the case properly. This amounts to an
invitation to recall the minister, pre-
Stunning that he himself has not already
taken steps to vacate his position,
No doubt is entertained of a compli-
ance with the implied suggestion, but
in case. there should be undue delay
in acting the state department would
feel called upon to move directly in the
matter and give the minister his pass
ports, as was done when Sir Julian
Pauncefote's predecessor, Lord Sack
ville-West, wrote the celebrated MUIR
Gibson letter.
