sToRER's APOLOGY TO SPAIN.
4 Formal Expression Not Authorized
by the Stnte Department.

4 Formal Expression Not Authorized
by the stnte Department..
The state Department disclaims any on
cial knowledge OF the reported action of
Beliamy Storer. United States Minister to
Spain. in expressing the regret Of the
United States Government to the For
eign Office in Madrid over the sending Of
an invitation by Mayor Harrison TO the
Duke de ARGOS the Spanish Minister in
Washington. TO attend the Dewey recep-
tion in Chicago. 1t is asserted by officials
tnat no Instructions on the subject were
sent 10 Air. Storer and it is supposed that
he made some statement about the matter
TO the Spanish authorities on his own
responsibility. believing that it would be
a graceful act 10 do so.
The statement that invitations to attend
the Dewey celebration were not sent TO
any other members OF the Diplomatic
Corps thus indicating that an intentional
insult was offered 10 the Spanish represen-
tatiye is untrue The Duke de ARGOS knows
that some il not all, Of his colleagues in
Washington received invitations and ex-
presses himself as perfectly satisfied with
the explanation Of Mayor Harrison that
the invitation was sent by mistake and
that no insult was intended. II is not
likely that any diplomatic representatives
Of a foreign country will accept an invi-
tation 10 attend the celebration because
in doing so they would appear TO sanction
an affair that is based primarily on an
American victory over a nation on friendly
terms with their Government.

In the course Of the consideration Of the

tiOns for dry docks. especially the one at

Mr.. Cannon said that the bill carried a
total Of sixty-one millions Of dollars. and
authorized the expenditure OF forty mil
lions more. 10 be appropriated in the tu-
ture. In view Of these facts. he believed
that ten or twenty millions Of the amounts

Mare Island yard, Mr.. Cannon said it
out to BE- abandoned not another cent eN-
pended on it, and a new yard established
on san Francisco Bay, where there was a
sufficient depth Of water to float our bat

Mr.. Cannon raised a point OF order
against the appropriation of S2.500.000 for
a cadets hall at the Naval Academy

fit of Spanish Wnr Veterans.

NJ OF spanish W hr NtteThhs.
military euchre and dance was given
last night at the Washington Light Infan-
try Armory for the benefit Of the Spanish
war veterans There were nine sections
engaged in the games, with twelve tables
10 each section, the players and visitors
numbering about 600.
The affair was under the auspices Of the
ladies connected with the Richard Harding
Post, and was capably managed through
out. Prizes numbering 10S were provided
through the generosity Of local merchants,
and a handsome sum was realized from tie
sale Of tickets and refreshments. The 0iii-
GERS of the ladies' society are Mrs. Allyn
X. Capron. Mrs. Major Hodgson. Miss Mey-
ers. and Mrs. Capt. D. V. Chisholm.
The first ladies' prize, a handsome lace
handkerchief. was won by Miss Muncey,
and the first gentlemen's prize, a gold
mounted sword, was won by Clarence W.
Hecox. Mr.. Hecox is not a military gen
tleman, and he laughingly remarked that
it was misfit. He said that he had abo-t
as much use for it as a toad would have
for a hair brush, and he speedily struck
trade with r. P. Carlton. OF the Engineer
Corps, for a silk umbrella, which the lat
ter had drawn.
After the distribution Of prizes and the
serving Of refreshments, those present en-
joyed the pleasures OF the dance until "a
early hour OF the morning.
