DEPUTY DE LONE.
An ASS All the While He Was Arrayed
in n Lions skin.

From the Chicago Journal.
When the Infanta Eulalie was in Chi
eago during the worlds fair she alluded
to Senior Dupuy de LONE as a foolish
half caste" In fact, the princess lost no
opportunity to ridieule the Spanish COM
missioner to the exposition, and much
surprise was manifested by those who
knew De LONE when he was appointed
minister to the United States at a criti-
cal stage in the relations of the two gov
ernments.
For long time the Spanish minister
disappointed the confident prediction of
the knowing ones that he would play the
donkey He seemed to meet to an UNI
usual degree the definition of an ambassa-
dor as IAN honest man sent to lie abroad
for his country" True. he accomplished
little Much of his first year in America
was spent in an attempt to bride the
most influential newspaper projectors and
correspondents TO the credit of the
American press, 1t must be said that,
with few dshonorable exceptions, jour-
nalists scornfully rejected his propo-
sails He offered lump sums to some, 9TH
ers he tried to secure by proposing To
pay for what the advertising agents call
"dolIar-a line matter in the interest OF
Spain. Failing in this enterprise. he sank
to the position of carrier of messages be-
tween his minister of foreign affairs and
our department of state.
As a messenger he was discreet and
tactful while the graceful manners OF
his wife lured more than one senator from
the path of duty TO his country. But the
ass skin was bound to show some day,
and suddenly we find De LONE stripped oil
his disguise and committing the unpar-
donable sin of writing letters-and being
caught at ii.
OF course, he will be sent back as soon
as he can pack his luggage. But his let
ter involves consequences far more Sc
rious than a mere change of ministers. 1t
affords a sudden and startling revelation
of the real feeling and purposes of the
Sagasta cabinet. 1t shows that the So
called scheme of autonomy is fraudulent
and false and that IL has been proposed
solely for the purpose of hinderng the
action of the administration. 1t gives
point to the lingo speeches in congress,
and seemingly forces this government to
abandon an attitude of non-interyention
as well for the maintenance of its own
self-respect as for the protection of the
people of Cuba.
Why should the president in the face
of this revelation. continue the pretense
of dealing with Spain as with a friendly
power? Why not admit the fact that she
is our deadly enemy. treacherous, cruel
and unforgiving. and proceed accordingly

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY IL. 1898.
The Presidents Policy.

VENTS are proving that Presi-
dent Mckinley's policy respect
ing Cuba is not likely 10 be a
shining success. OF course, the De
LONE affair, on its merits. il merely a
passing incident-the fact that i'll an
unofficial letter he called the president
names. changes nothing.
Yet the De LONE letter did make ref
erences that are significant and respect
ing which the government at Washing
ton may properly institute inquiries at
Madrid. If this diplomatic officer echoes
the sentiment entertained by the Span
ish government. the proposed CONNER
cial treaty is cheap bluff and auton-
omy for Cuba is n farce enacted for
passing effect. 1t becomes the duty Of
the Spanish government to convince the
administration at Washington that IL is
sincere in the effort to give autonomy to
Cuba: the testimony of DE LONE is to
the opposite. and he. outside of the
Spanish ministry itself, was the most
important factor in the affair.
But even If the government at Madrid
makes convincing proof of its sincerity
in this matter the presidents policy
will still need revision because. whatever
SPANS spirit autonomy is a failure in
Cuba. The islanders asserted in the
first place that they would have moth
ing to do with the offer of it; all the

feet that Madrids plan is scornfully re-

most recent communication 10 the de-
partment of state.
As laid before. congress weeks ago.
the plan of the president was 10 wait
until the result of the attempt 10 vest
the Guhans with autonomy was known.
1t now appears that the cubans repu-
diate the sort of home rule Spain offers
them; 1t also appears--if De LONE spoke
by the card--that the government at
Madrid was not sincere in the offer.
The time is at hand when President
Mckinley must issue a revised edition
of his Cuban policy.
Meanwhile. the reader of the news is
left to guess. after the reading of it,

news, for instance. Under Washington
date we read that. in spite Of all that
las been talked TO the contrary, the
department of state at Washington
has at no time taken a single step in
the way of demanding of the Spanish
government any explanation of the
suggestive sentences in the letter. The
administration, the dispatch says, pre-
fers to leave all that 10 Madrid-if as
surances are to come, they must have
their initiative there.
Yet this mornings news also says
that yesterday Mr.. Woodford presented
to the Spanish ministry a demand for
explanations. that his request was con-
sidered by the Spanish cabinet and
that the decision was that there should
be no explanation but that the resigna-
ton musI cover the case. These are
conflicting stories which no amount OF
editing can reconcile. These dispatches
cannot say to each other. as De LONE
