REQUIRES A DIRECT ANSWER.

President Mckinley Not sstisIed with
spain's Evasivs Action In the De LONE
Matter
WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.--The depart.
ment Of state has notified Minister
Woodford to suggest TO the Spanish
government that a, disavowal Of the
sentiments expressed in De Lomes
letter on autonomy and reciprocity
might remove considerable misunder-
standing which exists in this country
and would be highly acceptable to this
government. This cablegram was sent
to Minister Woodford by Assistant
Secretary Day, who wrote it by direc-
ton Of President Mckinley. 1t Is
mild In tone and not calculated to give
offense, hut II it does not bring
prompt reply from Spain, demand"
instead Of a suggestion" may follow.
The suggestion to Spain is the result
of the unsatisfactory nature Of Min.
lister Woodfords report. President
Mckinley Is determined that Spain
shall answer one way or the other
whether she indorses De Lome's senti-
ments, and will brook no unnecessary
delay. Until the question Of Spain's
sincerity in dealing with the United
States is settled, the cable will be
used instead Of the mails to bring
about speedy understanding.
