Bernabe Before His Departure.

N>SNOAS
 Washington, April 20.-The Spanish minister, accompanied by six members of his staff, left Washington at 7:SO o'clock tonight, and the Spanish gov ernment thus terminated it's diplomatic representation in the United States. The minister and his party left by the Pennsylvania railroad, going north ward to Buffalo and Suspension Bridge and thence to Toronto. By 10:40 o'clock tomorrow morning the Spanish off, cials will be on British soil. They will stop for day or two on the Canadian side of the Suspension Bridge and will then spend some days at Toronto. From there they go to Halifax to take an ocean liner While the minister is on this side of the border he has the protection of the passports issued this afternoon by the state department.
 No Demonstration.
 The departure of the Spanish party was made without noticeable demon- stration, and although considerable number of secret service officers and police were on duty at the depot, there was at no time any occasion for their doing more than keeping back crowd of curious onlookers At o'clock Se- nor Polo made a hurried call at the French embassy and the Austrian le- gation, where Spanish interests are left in charge, and then joined his staff at the legation and started for the train. An express wagon was piled high with the trunks of the party. Just before the departure from the legation the Austrian minister Hengel Muller and Baroness Hengel Muller dropped in for a last word and several other members of the diplomatic corps call ed to make their final adieus. This done, the legation was vacated and the party assembled at the Pennsylvania depot.
 No Words of 1ndignity.
 As the minister entered the station he was recognized by the crowd which closed in about him until gently eau tioned by the officers. No words of in- dignity were spoken. Senor Polo smiled in acknowledgement of the at- tention given him and several times touched his hat. Following him came Senor Pabler Soler, first secretary of the legation; Senor Aquani, second sec retary; Senors Plab and Almeida, at taches; Captain De La Casa, military attache, and Lieutenant De Carantha, naval attache. Senors DuBosc and Galarza did not accompany the party, as they will remain until tomorrow in an unofficial capacity. At the train platform the minister was greeted by viscount DeSanto Thyrso, the Portu- guese minister, and by MT. Calderon Carlisle, an acquaintance of the last twenty-five years, and counsel of the legation.
 Secret Service Men.
 The party boarded the Pullman sleep CT Japan which had been taken entire. Secret service men remained at the platform to prevent intrusion and a half dozen police officers were grouped outside. At no time, however, were their services required. The minister stood on the front platform and had a few parting words with his friends. He spoke feelingly of his departure,
 
 painful to him. One of his intimates ventured the suggestion that he would be back soon again, under much more favorable circumstances, but he shook his head and said he feared this could not be the case. He said he request for his passports had been made only after the enactment of law which at- tackled Spain's sovereignty, impunged her honor and insulted her.
 Spanish Honor Injured.
 Lieutenant DeCarantha wished to make known his view on the war about to be opened. He said the Span ish people, particularly members of the army and navy, had always entertain ed the most cordial feeling toward America and Spaniards had found it a pleasure to salute ships of the Ameri- can navy. Now, however, a war was being precipitated on account of Span ish loyalty. s'It is no longer question of retaining Cuba" said Lieutenant DeCarantha That was merely ques- ton of territory.
