RESIGNATION, NOT RECALL.

The retirement Of Sefor Dupuy de LONE is
after all effected not by recall but by accept
ance Of his resignation. Al this some little sur
prise has been expressed, but not, az we shall
see, on good grounds. 1t appears to be i'm
agined that by permitting him TO resign the
Spanish Government has condoned his offence
and perhaps rehabilltated him, and that the
United States Government should have insisted
upon his peremptory recall as a mark OF SPANS
disavowal Of his act If this suppositon CON
corning the comparative import Of resignation
and recall were correct, 1t would still be proper
for this Government magnanimously 10 waive
a technical point and let Spain escape BY the
easiest way from difficult and embarrassing
situation. Tha, would be merely further ex-
tension OF the generosity which prompted the
President 10 let the Spanish Government and
Its dlscredted Minister take the initiative in
stead OF at once sending Sehor de LONE his
passports.
As matter OF fact. however. the contrary Of
that suppostion Is true. as is made clear in orr
Washington dispatches this morning Had senor
de LONE been recalled, he would technically
have been Inundated but his diplomatic ca
reer would not necessarily have been ended
nor even interrupted. He would have been
withdrawn from ono post. probably to be sent
forthwith to another equally good. But in re-
signing he has abandoned his chances of
further preferment and practically removed
himself from the diplomatic service After
thirty years labor, AT n time when his
his promotion 10 full Ambassadorial rank was
probably only few weeks Off. he has through
his own indscretlon fallen suddenly and per

ACTION INSTEAD or TALK.

The Tribune does not approve all the thoughts
expressed In Congress about Cuba and SPAIN
nor does 1t dissent from all. But all the talk
in Congress about Spain and Cuba it does en-
phatically disapprove. Senators and Repre-
tentatives know that. until the Government
has been supplied with means TO meet foreign
difficulties. all talk which is liable TO cause
such difficulties may prove the extreme Of
fucidal folly. What would become Of mem
ber of Congress Of a party II It's talking
should cause a war without necessary prepare
ton TO defend the Nations safety and honor?
Are men at Washington sure that nothing
can come Of violent speech except the favor Of
some Incorporate constituents? The Spanish
Government has shown strong desire TO avoid
difficulty with the United States. But behind
that Government is IN excltable and passionate
population Talk which infames that popula-
ton may put IT beyond the power Of any Span
ish Ministry TO avoid undesired results.
mob, a fanatical official or officer, either In
Spain or In Cuba. might conceivably make n
rupture unavoidable. Nobody doubts American
power. Spaniards who read American dis
patches find some reason to doubt whether Con-
gress is ready for anything but provoking talk.
Because. first OF all, Congress has not begun
by appropriating any money TO meet possible
needs OF the Navy or Army Neither las it en-
powered the Government to borrow a dollar In
