WASHINGTON. April so.-The ultI.
rnaturn Of the United States to Spain
was delivered to the Spanish minister,
Senior Polo de Bernabe, shortly after II
O'Clock to-day. The minister was pre-
pared for this action, and to the state
department messenger who brought the
ufamatum, Senior Polo delivered q note
To- the secretary OF state saying that his
position here had become untenablo and
asking for his passports. The minister
Y and his entire STAFF, nine In oil, will
leave Washington at Z o'clock this even
ing. The French ambassador, N, Cam
bon, and tho Austrian minister, MT.
Hengelmuller, were with Senior Polo
when The ultimatum was received. Ar
rangen1ents were made at once for the
transfer OF the legation property to the
z Austrian iega don. 4 This includes the
archives, seal and the Spanish flag.
Both the French ambassador and the
Austrian minister will act Jointly in at
tending TO Spain's interests here; the eff
: fects being sent to the Austrian Legal
lion because Austria owns the property
OF the legation, whereas the French es-
Establishment Is temporarily leased.
The Spanish legation had been In
comparative calm Throughout the early
hours OF, the day. and It began TO be ap-
pretended that another day might pass
without the signing OF the resolutions.
4 Senior Polo maintained his fmperturba-
) BILE character. although he had abandon
q ed all hope Of an outcome other than
war. Outside the legation lieutenant
OF police and an officer were on duty, as
10 result Of the vandalism yesterday in
the destruction of the legation sign.
At 1880 a m. the Belgian minister
called, followed soon afterwards by NJ.
y Cambon the French ambassador. and
Mr.. Hengelmuller. the Austro- Hungar-
ian minister. At that time no word had
been received of action on the Fresolu-
tons or the ultmatum.
Z About 11:20 q colored messenger from
the state department appeared at the
front door Of the ministcre residence.
and IN an unconventional way stated
that he had q message fromth state de-
spartment for the Spanish minister. Sc
nor Polo excused himself from the
French ambassador, with whom he was
then engaged, and met the messenger In
the legation corridor. He glanced at
the enclosure, noting that It was the
EuIdmatum, and babe the messenger watt
for areply This was already prepared,
end had been ready since yesterday. It
/ was not a rejoinder to the ultimntum,
but o terse request for his passports.
Following Is the text OF the ministers
request:

gress of the United States of America

Washington becomes ImpossibleS and
iobliges me to request you the delivery
of my passports. The protection OF the
s Spanish interests will be entrusted to
(. the French ambassador and to the Aus
TRAN Hungarian minister. On this oc-
Tcastion, very painful to me, have the
honor to renew to you the assurances OF
my! highest consideration.
