OFFICIALLY DISCLAIMED.

Spain Repudiates the Reflections Con-
tanned in the De LONE Letter-The Incl
dent Closed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-Spain has Off
cially disclaimed in positive manner,
the reflections contained in the De
LONE letter and, as officially an
nouncd by the state department to-day,
the incident is satisfactorily closed.
The statement given out is as follows:
February II. 1898.
The following is an abstract of note sent
last evening by the Spanish government to
Minister Woodford at Madrid:
The Spanish government, on learning OF the
incident in which Minister Dupuy De LONE was
concerned and being advised of his objec-
tionable communication, with entire sincerity
lamentS the incident which the cause
of the interview with the minister; states
that Minister De LONE had presented his res
ignation and it had been accepted before the
presentation of the matter by Minister Wood
ford that the Spanish ministry, in accept
ing the resignation of functionary whose
services they have utilized and valued
up to that time, leaves it perfectly established
that they do not share and rather, on the con-
trary dSauthoriZe the criticisms tending to Of
fend or censure the chief of q friendly state al
though such criticisms had been writ
ten within the fell of friend
ship, and had reached publicity by artful and
criminal means That this meaning had taken
shape in a resolution by the council Of minis
tiers before Gen. Woodford presented the mat.
ter, and at time when the Spanish govern
ment had only vague telegraphic reports con-
corning the sentiments alluded to;
That the Spanish nation, with equal and
greater reason. af1rms its view and decision
after reading the words contained in the letter
rejecting upon the, president OF the United
States. AS to the paragraph concerning the de-
STABILITY OF negotiations of commercial rela-
lions, IL even for effect, and importance OF
using q representative for the purpose
stated in Senior Dupuy De Lomes
letter. the government expressed concern, that
in the light of its conduct long after the writ
ing OF the letter and in view of the unanswer-
able testimony of simultaneous and subse-
Quent facts any doubt should exist that the
Spanish government has given proof OF its real
desire and its innermost convictions with re-
spect to the new commercial system and the
projected treaty Of commerce.
That the Spanish government does not now
consider it necessary to lay stress upon or to
demonstrate anew the truth and sincerity of
its purpose and the unstained good faith of its
Intentions;
That publicly and solemnly the government
of Spain contracted before the mother country
and its colonies responsibility for the political
and tariff changes which it has inaugurated in
both Antilles, the nature and ends of which. in
domestic and international spheres. it pur-
sues with tirmneSS, which will ever inspire its
conduct

priations for the work, many senators taking
fxed by the war department estimates instead

was unexpectedly precipitated by consideration
of a resolution offered by Mr. Allen (Neb), di-
recting the committee on naval affairs to inveS-
tigate the disaster to the Maine, the intimatfon

tigation by naval officers would be in the ma
ture of a whitewash of delinquent officers.
In the house the debate on the bankruptcy bill
was continued, several speeches for and against
the measure being delivered. The session lasted
until 5 :55 D. N.

Arrangements Under Way at Chicago for
the Funeral.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Miss Catherine L.
Stevenson, corresponding secretary of
the w. C. T. u, said it was the present
intention to have committee of Miss
Wizards friends and co-workers in
Chicago meet the body between here
and New York city and act as an escort
during the journey west. The body
will be taken to Miss Wizards home
in Evanston, where the funeral
will be held, probably from the
First Methodist church, where
Miss Willard attended for years
1t is possible that this part of the pro-
gramme may be changed, as the
church is comparatively a small one,
and would probably be totally made
quate to hold the crowds who would
wish to attend the funeral of the dead
temperance leader, and for this reason
it may be that the services will be held
from Chicago. The interment will take
place at Rose Hill cemetery, where Miss
Wizards mother is buried.

Marseilles for Colon, that was wrecked
at Anaga Point, this island, early yes
terday morning during thick fog
Says:s

passengers, under charge of the doctor
and the second officer were shut up in
the deck house under the bridge.
1.-The captain ordered the boats out,
but the vessel took heavy list to port,
and three of the port boats were carried
away by heavy sea directly they
were launched. An attempt was then
made to launch the starboard lifeboat,
and after working steadily from two
until nine o'clock in the morning it sue
ceeded.
''Those on board Immediately made
desperate rush. Fifty jumped into
the sea in an endeavor to reach the
boat, but only 16 succeeded, and two of
these were washed out. The boat was
full of water and it was impossible to
use the oars. After half an hour the
steamer Susu arrived and picked up
the IA in the boat.
There were still about 40 people on
the wreck, but when the Susu returned
from Santa Cruz not a soul was to be
seen and the sea was washing GEM
pletely over the wreck. The captain
and officers did their best, but owing
to the mountainous seas, it was i'm
possible to attempt to save the women
and children. All were obliged to jump
for their lives. The captain was in bed
when the vessel struck and the second
officer was in charge
