OPPOSED TO AN APOLOGY
Spanish People Prefer War with
Uncle Sam and Profess to Be
Greatly Enraged.
SENIOR De LONE LEAVES FOR SPAIN.
Expressed In His Letter Expected
from Madrid - Spanish Cabinet IL
Aggrieved and Calls the Former
Minister a Fool.

Madrid, Feb. Is. - The cabinet met
yesterday and decided to publish de-
cree accepting the resignation of Senior
Dupuy De Lone us minister at WASH
ington and appointed Senior Louis Polo
Bernabe us his successor. 1t was also
decided to reply to Minister Woodford
that Senior De Lome's spontaneous res
ignation and the terms of the decree ac-
cepting it were considered sufficient
satisfaction.
Cabinet Assrieved.
One of the ministers present said at
the close Of the council:
you may say openly. as coming from
Senor sagasta and from each of us, that
we entirely condemn, In the most absolute
manner. Senior De Lome's letter. We are
ashamed. grieved. and sorry thereat The
ministers feel more aggrieved than Presi-
dent Mckinley can possibly be- We are
honest men. who have been placed in 4
false position by a fool."'
They Prefer War.
London, Feb ia special from Mad
rid says the populace of that city Is
greatly enraged owing to the belief
that the Spanish cabinet has apologized
to the United States. The populace,
the dispatch adds, is bitterly opposed
to such course as exceedingly hostile
to the government and may make q
demonstration.
In conclusion the dispatch says:
THE people prefer war to an apology,
thinking that Spain will suffer the least
thereby, as war would be exceedingly
disastrous to the large commerce of the
United States"
De LONE Leaves.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Senor Dupuy
de Lone, late Spanish minister, left
Washington at four o'clock in the
afternoon on the congressional linn
tied for New York. When asked if he
had anything to say on the eve of his
departure he answered only with final
''good-by."
Up to late hour the state depart
ment had no additional word from Min
lister Woodford. While there had been
an impression oil day that dispatch
might be received at any hour, the alb
sence of message was not looked upon
as IN indication of any change in the
status of the incident, which is now con.
sidered practically closed. AS matters
stand. the only further action to be
expected from Spain is a disavowal Of
the sentiments expressed by Dupuy De
LONE concerning President Mckinley,
but this, If made, will come as volun-
tary courtesy. A definite announce
nent that this has or has not been
made is in the ordinary course Of events
the next move expected from Madrid.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The annual re-
port of the civil service commission for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1897, has
been presented to the president. 1t be-
gins with u statement to show that aft
er an experience of nearly IS years, the

practice the law has proved to be
constantly exerted and effective force
in the direction of economy.
Considering the few changes in the

of the one stand in striking contrast
to the extravaganza and inefficiency of
the other.
