Earliest Opportunity.

MOBILE. Ala. Feb. 1O.-The Hon. Hannis
Taylor. former Minister to Spain, who is at
tending the Quarantine Convention in this city,
was interviewed regarding the De LONE Incl
dent tonight and expressed In emphatic terms
his approval OF .he course Of the Administration
in dealing with the Minister. Mr.. Taylor de-
clared that through President Mckinley De
LONE had offered n gratuitons affront to the
whole American people and that the quicker
no left American shores the better. At the
same time he said he was astounded at De
Lome's indiscretlon, as he was undoubtedly the
ablest diplomat in the service Of Spain. and that
his criticism OF the Administration wac ex-
tesy which he had received. Mr.. Taylor thinks
that the affair win lead to increased bitterness
on the part of both nations, but believes that 1t
will not precipitate any serious international
complications. Mr.; Taylor says 1t will be hard
to find "a man to take DE lome's post who can
successfully survive the crisis which the latter
has met so masterfully.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Feb. 1O.-The Morning Post, which
is never deferred by a sense OF delicacy in its
candid criticism Of the affairs Of the United
States, says it thinks that the letter Of Sefor
dc LONE TO Sehor Canalejas n natural com.
munication for anybody in his position at Wash
ington to send. 1t adds:
Amid the breakdown OF his fiscal policy and
the gloomy prophecies of tho coming elections,
this supposed insult to the Presidential Office Is
a happy discovery for Mr.. Mckinley, enabling
the Cabinet to assume an air of outraged dig
nifty. 1t was Immediately seized by Mr.. Sher-
man, who IL himself q VIGOROUSLY polite letter
writer.
THE intercepting of the letter and its publ
cation, II Il Is genuine. will create an unpleas-
ant conjecture. which o Government respecting
the amenities of international relations could
easily have settled with decorum. The impetu-
Gus, high.handed proceedings of the Govern
ment at Washington form another Illustration
of the total contempt for good manners which
characterizes the Department Of State. In
this particular case energy has been stimulated
by the opportunity for pleasing the rabble of
their party, without actually provoking Spain
to declare war;"
The 81. Jdmess Gazette in an article written
upon the assumption that Sehor Dupuy De
LONE, the Spanish Minister at Washington. has
resigned. says: This was the right course for
him to take. whether he wrote the letter or not.
The incident Is bound to increase the Spanish
American trouble, which is greater than many
believe"
Tho Times says: ut is from every point
of view deplorable and lamentable that
30 useful q career as Senior De Lome's
should BIO terminated by an act of
the bascst treachery. Honest men, whether in
America or England, must regard with pro.
found contempt the party which sinks to such
methods of warfare as the Cuban ring.
cit must be recorded to the credit of Presl.
dent Mckinley that, although he might eH-
cusably feel some resentment at the manner in
which Senior De Lome described him. he refused
to exaggerate the incident.
The Times contends that 1t is too deeply i'm.
pressed with the great ability and prudence
Se1or de LONE displayed at Washington to say
much about the culpability that attaches to him
respecting the letter. but 1t declares: IF it be
indiscretion to do what k~navery and treachery
can employ to end a career Of usefulness. then
the late Minister was very indiscreet."
The Chronicle says 1t believes that Senior
Muruga will be reappointed Spanish Minister
to the United States.

the intention of the United States to send the
warship Maine to Havana, he did not notify the
Government OF her actual sailing. The Her.
aldo on Jan. % quoted a list Of other instances
OF Sehor De Lome's lowness under the spread
heading Let Dupuy Take q Rest" The arti-
Gle says:
"De LONE apparently did not know that the
Maine was of for Havana until Secretary Day
showed him Consult General Lees telegram"
and continues: Except for the press CORE
spondents the Government would be entirely In
the dark.
"n De Lone continues" the paper adds,

suppose thessHeraLdo would communicate the
fact TO the home Government. which will be
