DE LONE DONE FOR.
SPANISH GOVERNMENT GRANTS
HIS PLEA TO BE RECALLED.
Minister Admits Authorship of the
Objectionable Letter and Can no
s Longer Remain.

Madrid, Feb. 11.-At a meeting of
the Spanish cabinet held under the
presidency of the queen regent, the
minister of foreign affairs, Senior Gull
Ion, read a dispatch from Senior Dupuy
De LONE, the Spanish minister at
Washington, saying that the published
letter to Senior Canalejas was written
by him and that his position conse-
quently had become untenable, and he
begged the government to accept his
resignation. The cabinet decided to
accept the resignation of De Lone, and
the minister subsequently tele-
graphed to De LONE accepting his res
rotary with the conduct Of the current
affairs of the legation.
Washington, Feb. 11.-At the state
department the opinion is entertained
that the De LONE episode is now prac-
tically ended. Muruaga, who was De
suddenly on leave Of absence, short
ly after the appearance of a newspa-
per interview in which he criticised
our government He never returned to
Washington.
The state department is acting with
out reference to the minister's resigna-
ton. 1t shaped it's action after re-
ceiving the original letter written by
De LONE to Canalejas. The original
came into the possession of the de-
partment Wednesday and was carried
by Judge Day, assistant secretary of
state, to the minister's residence.
The meeting could not have been other
than painful. There was no denial on
the part Of the minister. When Judge
Day learned direct from the minister
that the letter was genuine a cable
gram to Minister Woodford was sent
When inquiries were made at the
Spanish legation as to how the letter
reached the hands of the Cuban junta,
it was said that statements made by
the junta as to Canalejas receiving the
letter were absolutely false Private
Inquiries, it was stated, had been made
which disclosed that Canalejas never
saw the letter This inquiry was sent
by cable direct the Canalejas, now
at Madrid, and he was asked if he had
ever received the letter. He answered
that he never had. After this state
ment the Spanish authorities regard it
as plain that the letter was stolen in
transit.
The De LONE letter has already at
tracted the attention of foreign gov
ernments and appears to be regarded
by them as an important factor in the
general Cuban question No incident
in recent days has caused such a SEN
satiOn in the ranks of the diplomatic
corps. It has also aroused keen dis
cussion as to the right to criticism
which minister can indulge in under
the seal of a private letter. Many
diplomatic authorities take the 7iew
that it is not only the right but the
duty of a minister to present every
detail of personal nature which in
his Judgment may aid in the correct
Judgment of case.

weekly summary of crop conditions is as
follows:
The week ending Sept. 10, 1888, on the
whole has been generally favorable except
in portions OF New England. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland, where the
drought conditions previously reported
continued while in Mississippi, South
western Texas and some sections of Kans-
as and Missouri heavy rains have retard-
ed farm work. Killing frosts are reported
from Northern New England, Michigan and
Wisconsin, but with Slight damage" and
light frosts have occurred in New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, doing lit
tie or no damage. The absence of rain in
Washington has been highly favorable for
harvested and threshed grain and for gath
erlng hops, an excellent crop of the latter
being reported from both of these states.
In California the conditions were favOra-
bic for most crops. The weather conditions
have been favorable for late corn, which
is generally maturing rapidly except in
poruons of Missouri and Illinois where sun
shine and continued warmth are needed.
in Nebraska nearly the entire crop is ma
tuTed; IN Iowa considerable has been cut
and the remainder of the crop viii be dry
enough TO crib early in October In Wis

lucky the bulk of the crop has been cut
slight improvement Is noted in the
cotton crops in eastern portions of the
cotton regions: rotting and shedding re
decreasing; the bulk of the crop as open
and picking is progressing rapidly. In
the central portion of the cotton region,
there are about the same conditions pre-
vailing as in the previous week. picking
is progressing as the weather permits,
but shedding, rust and worms continue
in Mississippi and caterpillars and worms
are again damaging the crop in Louis
lana. Some damage has resulted from
heavy rains in Arkansas. In Texas the
bulk Of the early crop is open and pick
ing is well advanced although pickers are
scarce in some localities. The report in
dicates that the top crop win be short
in South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma and
Texas.
Late tobacco Is doing well, except in
Maryland where 1t needs rain. In Ken

the 18th.
Flowing and sowing fail grain has pro
crossed rapidly in all sections except In
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and
Tennessee, where the work has been de-
layed owing to dry soil conditions. Wheat
seeding has also been delayed in portions
of Missouri on account Of heavy rains
Early sown grain is up and growing nicely
in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska,

LEAVE HUNTSVILLE TO-DAY.
PLANS FOR THE SECOND GEORGIA,s
HOMEWARD TRIP.

First battalion Billed to Arrive In
Savannah Thursday Night or Fri
day MOrninE-Gen. Miles Issues an
Order Providing for the Immedi-
ate Discharge of Country Members
of the battalion and Many Are
Likely to Take Advantage of 1t.
They Can Get Their Money and
Release at Once-Oficers Think the
Entire Regiment VIII BE Mustered
Out In n Few Days.
Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 2o.-The Second
Georgia had its last parade at Camp
Wheeler this afternoon. The regiment
leaves for home tomorrow. It wiiF travel
in two sections. The first section, carrying
the Atlanta and other North Georgia COM
panies, win leave at a. m, and the sec
ond section, conveying the Savannah and
Augusta companies. is to leave at Il a. m
More likely it will be some time in the af-
ternoon.
Col Brown was DESTROYS of having the
regiment remain here two or three days
longer in order that 1T might complete its
equipment of clothing. This would also
have enabled the regiment TO participate in
the parade In honor of Secretary Alger Fri
day.
Gen. Coppinger, however, it Is said, de-
clined to delay the departure of the regi-
ment any longer, all arrangements to this
end having been completed.
The Southern has the contract for car
rying the troops but it win turn the Sa-
Vannah section over to the Central Rail-
road. There VIII be no parade in Atlanta,
and hence no delay of the Savannah sec
ton This win probably put the First Bat
tallion in Savannah Thursday night or
early Friday morning.
An order issued by Gen. Miles was re-
ceived to-day which gives great sausfac-
ton TO the country members 1t provides
that men living at a. distance from the
place of enrolment may be granted imme-
date discharges if desired instead of TAX
ing the thirty-day furlough This enti-
ties them TO their pay, travel, rations and
clothing money at once. Those who pre-
fer can take the thirty-day furlough and
return to be mustered out at the end of
that time. They will receive no money
until mustered out, however. As many
of the members of the First Battalion live
them have any cash left, its likely that
the majority of this class win avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure an ear
ly discharge and ready money
Officers expressed the opinion to-day that
the entire regiment win be mustered out
at once.
Company L attended the funeral exer-
cises of their late member, Private J. W.
Brown, at the First Presbyterian Church
here to-day. The body was shipped to
relatives in Kentucky.

ments.

DOESN'T FAVOR SOUTHERN CAMPS.

Gen. Graham Wants TO Retain His
Troops at Camp Meade.
Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept. 90
Mai. Gen. Graham thinks the war Depart
ment will not be in a hurry to break up the
second army corps. His troops are accus-
toned TO the cold weather of the North,
and they would probably Withstand the
rigors of the climate at Camp Meade better
than the enervating atmosphere of the
South The only Southern regiments in the
corps are the Second West Virginia First
Maryland and Second Tennessee, all the
others being from the North. Gen. Ora
ham says the Southern camps have not
been as lealthfu9 as those in the North
and favors the retention of the troops at
Camp Meade until it becomes necessary to
send them to the West Indies and the Phil
ippines.
The health conditions of the camp are
improving and outside of the New York
regiments, there is very little sickness.
