The De LONE Incident.

Further Facts About His Letter and Its
Objectionable L"ngusEe---Disavow
from spain EXpected---DeL om.,s Sue
cessOr.
Senior Dupuy De LONE, the late Span
ish minister to this country, packed his
effects last week, and on Tuesday after
noon he left Washington for New York,
accompanied by his wife and sons, and
sailed for Liverpool next day. 1t now APP
pears that Judge Day, assistant secretary
of state, first called De Lome's attention
to the offensive letter in an interview last
week Wednesday. Judge Day took from
his pocket the original letter and asked
De LONE if he had any explanation to
make.
GAS the representative Of the Spanish
government" replied De Lone, 81 have
nothing to say. AS a private individual,
speaking to another private individual,
can tell you that | wrote it,"
vi am sorry TO know it," said Judge
Day.
"You are no more sorry than / am"
replied De LONE adding that the transla-
ton of the letter was unnecessarily harsh,
been said in public on more than one oc-
casion. "A rvss Il
"But you must understand" continued
Judge Day, "that with the publication of
this letter your usefulness as the represen-
tative of Spain to the United States is end
ed"
Certainly" was the minister's reply.
II realized that last night and cabled my
resignation to my government"
In some quarters severe condemnation
has been visited on the Spanish govern
ment for accepting De Lome's resignation,
instead of recalling him in disgrace, and
the administration at Washington has been
criticised for not demanding Of the Span
sh government dlsavowal of the senti-
ments in De Lome's letter. President
Mckinley, however, is content to leave the
matter in the hands of the Spanish gov
eminent for the present, relying on its
sense of right and propriety to prompt it
to just and adequate action.
Aside from the obnoxious remarks about
| President Mckinley the really offensive
part of the letter was that in which De
LONE intimated that autonomy had not
been offered to Cuba in good faith, but
that it was foredoomed to failure, and ne
gotiations for reciprocity were a trick on
the United States. Canalejas, to whom
the letter was addressed, was advised by
De LONE to agitate in Cuba the question
of closer commercial relations with the
| United States, "if only for effect" Such
a declaration and such a suggestion from a
man who when he penned them held the
confidence of the Sagasta ministry, i'm
pose upon Spain no less than on our gov
eminent clearing of the record.
Minister Woodford at Madrid has ad-
dressed diplomatic note to the Spanish
government on this question. Private in
! tmations have been received from mem
RS of the Spanish cabinet that they con-
uemn De Lome's letter without qualfca-
| ton.
Our state department has taken steps
for the return of the letter to Mr.. Canale-
jas as its righttul private owner.
Senior Louis Polo Bernabe has been APP
pointed De Lome's successor at Washing
ton. Senor Bernabe is the son of Vice AID
miral Polo, who formerly represented Spain
in this country.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Sheep and lambs-The condition of the
market remains about the same as last
week. The average of stock. however,
were materially decreased, with the re-
suit that the buying was a little more
brisk, there being ready purchasers at
fair prices. The prices of last week re-
NAMED at about the same steady figure,
the rise being principally on calves stock.
Sheep and lambs brought fairly good
prices and there seemed to be ready
demand.
Northern and eastern beef cattle-The
usual small amount on hand and the
same quick sales effected
Western beef cattle-The entire con-
signment was for export trade, and none
was sent to the home market or delivered
to home slaughterers.
Veal calves-The supply was about
half what was on the market last week,
but there was practically no change in
the prices which were received for this
weeks consignment. The demand was
fairly good and the sales were quickly
effected.

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
A Percheron Stallion Case.
Signers OF the Notes In franklin COun-
~ Must Pay---a Different Decision In
the Vermont Courts,

Signers Of the Notes In Franklin Coun-
~ Must Pay--.a Different Decision In
the Vermont Courts.
Judge Mason of Northampton, acting
as auditor, filed last Friday his decision in
one of the widely known Percheron stall
lion cases. Ward Wolcott and II. p.
Reynolds sold in 1898 a stallion for $500
to a syndicate of Franklin county men.
The men signed notes to be paid in one,
two and three years. The stock of Frank
lin county was to be greatly improved, and
the colts were to be bought by Wolcott and
Reynolds at large prices. After the notes
were signed the purchasers found the
horse to be wind-broken and unsafe to
drive i'm harness. The animal was sold at
auction for $780,
1t appears that all three of the Frank
lin county notes were given as security to
the bank of EllicOtville, n. Y. but two of
them were afterward fraudulently with
drawn and are supposed to have been sold
elsewhere. The bank sued to recover, and
Judge Mason finds that the bank was an
innocent purchaser in good faith and is en-
titled to recover.
Only part of the note signeTs are inan-
cially responsible, and the burden will
come harder on the others. This note is
for about $3.50, but as a small portion was
paid the judgment is for $720 and interest
since Feb. /, 1895. There is another suit
pending for one of the notes, from Suffolk
county, and doubtless the third will put
in an appearance.
Stations were sold in a similar manner
in many towns of Western Massachusetts,,
Connecticut and throughout Vermont, and
suits have arisen in several cases, as the
stations were always found to be worth
only small sum. The Vermont courts
rendered decision a short time ago in
favor of the holders Of the notes. Suit
was brought against the Vermont men by
the Limerick, Maine, national bank. The
evidence showed that this bank was in a
small village several miles from railroad,
that it had little local business, one-half of
its capital stock of $4,000 was invested
in these notes, and that the bank was in
reality a dumping ground of the notes of
the Percheron stallion industry.

addressed to Senior Canalejas. The Span
ish minister admits writing it. 1t con-
tains expressions rejecting upon the Pres
ident of the United States of such a char
acter as to end the minister's usefulness
here. Gen. Woodford has been instruct
ed to inform the Spanish Government that
the immediate recall of Minister de LONE
is expected"
AT n meeting of the Spanish cabinet,
held Thursday under the presidency Of
the queen regent, the minister for foreign
affairs, Senior Gullon, read a dispatch
from Senior Dupuy de Lone, the Spanish
minister at Washington, saying that the
published letter to Senior Canalejas was
written by him, and that his position, con-
s%equently, had become untenable, and he
begged the Government to accept his res
%ignation. The cubinet decided to accept
the resignation OF Senior Dupuy de LONE,
and the ministers subsequently met and
decided to telegraph to Senior de LONE
accepting his resignation and intrusting
the first secretary with the conduct of the
current affairs of the legation.
Senor de LONE sought to cover his re-
treat in an adroit manner by voluntarily
rendering his resignation in advance Of
the Presidents demand for his recall, II
is now admitted that he cabled his resic-
nation as early us 10 o'clock Tuesday
night. AT 0 o'clock he learned n fac sim
lie copy of the letter vas in the hands Of
the newspapers. and an hour later he had
resigned. This step was taken to pre-.
serve DE Lome's status in the diplomatic
service ut home. He hoped thereby to
forestall action by this Government which
would have made him ineligible for reap
pointment in the diplomatic service apoin.
The President determined not to give tho
minister the benefit of this ruse and mnde
the demand for the recall, with n view of
forever terminating Senior de Lome's
usefulness as a diplomat.
The feeling Wednesday morning Mt the
White House and the State Department
was one Of charity for De LONE. Nobody
doubted the letter was a forgery md
State Department officials showed their
sympathy for the diplomat to the extent
Of calling attention to the Federal statute
protecting foreign diplomats from libel.
While all this anxiety was being shown
for the Spanish minister he was CROWN
ing his diplomatic career by misleading
the President and State Department. in
order to gain a personal advantage. This
act of DE Lome's was the prime cause for
the President insisting upon registering mt
Madrid a demand for his recall. 1t is not
believed by officials of the administration
that the incident will lead to any friction
whatever between the two governments.
