DE LONE DOESN'T DENY IT.

Washington. Feb. e-The publication In
the morning newspapers % what is sup
posed to be an autograph letter written
by Senior DE LONE. the Spanish minister,
To his friend Cnncicjas critlcising the
president with the utmost freedom,
caused sensation in ofticial circles at
Washington. and soon will be followed
by Minister DE t.omc's departure from
the United States. \, the outset there
was disposition To question the authcn-
tlcity OF the letter, hut circumstantial
evidence accumulated until Il was finally
announced officially that the minister do
clincd to deny the authenticity Of the
letter All doubt was dissipated and the
only question that remained was as to|
the line of action To be pursued by our
government toward the offending min

qucstlonably nm offcnsc against the amen
tiles Of diplomatic relations. and such OF
fcnses have almost invariably been re-
garded In the United States as In other
capitals as sufficient ground for the term

writer
As soon as the letter appeared In the
press. the state department officials be-
gan an effort to settle It's authenticity,
and when they had learned all that could

told that the minister himself refused
To deny writing Il, the consideration OF
the next step began, Assistant Secretary
Day was in consultation with the presl-
dent at least four times during official
hours today, and then spent much time
In framing his message to Minister
Woodford at Madrid
The official statement OF the sending OF
this message was accompanied by decl-
nation to indicate its contents ut this
time, the department merely giving to
the press the following statement;
Minister DE LONE does not deny writ
ng the letter The department has COM
munlcated with General Woodford on
this subject, Until that communication
reached the Spanish government It would
be improper In any manner to state the
contents of the message TO General
Woodford"
While the department refused to add
to this meager announcement, II can be
stated without question that Minister
Woodford was directed to lay the facts
developed before the Spanish government
together with the statement that In view
OF the minister's refusal to deny writing
the letter, the Spanish government is
asked to deal with the case properly,
This amounts to an invitation to recall
the minister, presumIng that he himmself
has already taken steps TO vacate his
position, No doubt Is entertained OF n
compliance with the implied suggestion
