SENIOR LEON Y CASTILLO,
Who Refused to Accept a Portfolio
in the New Spanish Cabinet.

The change of Ministry in Spain will
bring out many men who are slightly
known on this side of the Atlantic, but

over the refusal, of Senior Leon Cas-
tillo to accept the portfolio of the Sec
rotary of Foreign Affairs. 1t was not,
however, because he was afraid of the
work which would fall upon him as
Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
