Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-10

by the government, at least by part of
the public opinion.
Il don't believe you pay enough at
tention to the role of England. Nearly
all that newspaper eanaille, which
swarms in your hotel, are English, and
at the same time that they are cores
pondents of the Journal they are also
of the best newspapers
and reviews OF London. Thus it has
been since the beginning. To my mind
the only object of England is that the
Americans should occupy themselves
with us, and leave her in peace, and If
there is war, so much the better. That
would further remove what is threaten
ing her-although that will never hap
pen. 1t would be most important that
YOU should agitate the question Of COM
mercial relations, even though 1t would
be only for effect, and that you should
send man of importance in order that
] might use him to make a propaganda
the senators and others in oppo-
sition to the junta and to win over eX-
lies. There goes Amblarad ! believe he
is too deeply taken up with little politi-
cal matters, and there must be some
thing very great or we shall lose.
Adela returns your salutation, and we
wish you in the new year to be mes
senger Of peace, and take this New
Years present to poor Spain. Always
your attentive friend and servant, who
kisses your hand
Enrique Dupuy de LONE"
The circumstances under which let
ter of this character could escape from
the privacy of the two persons between
whom it passed, excite much comment.
The general belief is that it was never
delivered to Senior Canalejas, but was
stolen while en- route. CanaleJas was
in Washington some time ago, and then
went to Cuba for the purpose Of observ-
ing the condition of affairs there AS
a former minister in liberal cabinets
having been minister of justice-and as
the editor of FL Heraldo at Madrid, he
was accorded a warm reception by Min
lister Dupuy de LONE, who gave a BAN
Duet in his honor, which was attended
by number of prominent public men.
He-then left for Cuba, and his mission
necessarily brought him into continued
respondenceswith Minister de Lone,
AS the letter bears no date, the time
that it was forwarded can only be fixed
by the context That it was after the
presidents message, is evident The
mention of the approaching autonomous
cabinet establishes that it was before
the inauguration of this cabinet, Jan. /.
This places the letter, according to the
prevailing impression, as having been
written about the middle of December
Senior de Lome's letter was almost
the sole topic of conversation among the
members of the house today It's con-
tents were considered such manifest
breach of diplomacy that many refused
to credit it. Chairman Hit Of the for
eign affairs committee, Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
and other leading republicans declined
to express any opinion, On the assump-
ton that the letter was authentic, how
ever, the opinion was almost unanimous
that no self-respecting government
could tolerate such criticism of it's chief
executive, and the Minister de Lone
words had put an end to his usefulness
at this capital.
DE LOME'S BOOK.
New York, Feb. s.-The Herald this
morning prints the following:
The Cubans in Mr., Rubens' office
which is one of several at the headquar
ters of the junta, at Sc New street, were
elated. and recalled that when a former
attack made by Senior de Lone on tht
United States was unearthed. the minis
ter said that he had written it when h'
was a young man; it was youthful in
discretion.
yet" they said, che now attacks The
president of the United States"
The attack of Senior de Lome's tt
which the Cubans refer, was contained
in a book published after tour around
the world in 1873, and was entitled
Madrid a Madrid" Referring to the
landing at San Francisco, he said;
I'VE had been told on board the
steamer all that is usually said con-
corning United States officials. They
are scoundrels and thieves. To strictly
comply with customs house regulations,
will be Of no avail to you"
American women are thus alluded
to:
eve all know what woman in the
United States is. She is adventurous
and bold She travels alone with full
liberty, protected more by fear Of the
law than by the respect which she in
spires. She is spendthrift, elegant, and
wears the most risky fashions knowing
well that everything becomes her.
Before marriage, as I said before,
they are more feared than respected.
When they are married, how do they
behave? Who can tell? People have
been inclined TO believe that they make
model wives. I do not think that they
are the worst in the world, but there
are indications that do not commend
them so much; for instance, the mystic
rious history of a certain witch who
now owns a palace on Fifth avenue, and
whose fortune, Of which she now makes
an insolent show, was amassed by pre-
venting the increase of population of the
great republic; the personals in a. New
York newspaper; the excursions on
steamboats, which follow the publica-
tipon of these personals; their trips to
Europe and the lives they lead in
Paris"
Again, of the future of this republic,
he said:
"Win the United States be able long
to retain the cohesion from which the
federal constitution derives all its
force, having, as the nation has, a gov
eminent lacking unity and trength as
we'll as corrupt administration?
The prediction is made in the book,
that the United States must eventually
be dismembered, and that there will be
three republics-east, west and south.
IF, as Castelar, said, democracy leads
to unity and to the Strengthening of the
central power, dictators will eventually
become necessary in these three repub-
lies. From dictatorship to monarchy
is but a step which will easily be taken
by the austere republicans who now call
themselves generals professors and
doctors nobody knows why for they
are so in partibus. No one would more
willingly than they assume the title Of
Duke Of Connecticut or Marquis of Min
nesota~"
Senior de LONE came to the United
States as minister from Spain about
three years ago. Don Jose Canalejas
is editor of FL Heraldo de Madrid.
DE LOMES FRIENDS VIEW.
Washington, Feb 9.-Senor de LONE
received a number of callers during the
day, and to those sustaining close rela-
tionship to him, he did not question the
of the published letter,
making it clear that he would scorn the
snllnt a1.f,, pc of denial for the nlrpose Of
