Washington April IA, 190O.-Sir: 1 re-
turn to you, here inclosed, an invitation
from the city of Chicago, for the celebra-
tion of the second anniversary of the bat
Tie of Manila, which, l take for granted
has been sent to me by mistake, as it Is
the first discourtesy 1 have met with

possible for me to believe that you have
advised they ask me, the representative
OF Spain, to go to your city and rejoice
with you on the destruction of the Span
ism ships and on the death of so many
brave sailors-my compa triots. That
would have been simply an insult; and
as do not deserve it, and it cannot have
been your intention, 1 am perfectly sure.

error. l have the honor to remain, sir,
very respectfully yours, Arcos"

was sent through the carelessness or ig-
norance of a clerk, and extending sincere

WEBSTER DAVIS HELPED HIM.
TransvaaI Was About 10 Turn Down
Consul Hay.

Kansas City, April 16.-A Washington
dispatch to the Journal states that but for
the intercession of Webster Davis, late
assistant secretary of the interior. Adel-
bert Hay, son Of the Secretary of State,
would not have received his exequatur as
American consul at Pretoria.
Mr. Davis was in Pretoria about
the time Mr.. Hay arrived. The
TransVaal officials had already
heard Of the new consuls 8
sojourn IN London, had been informed
that he had placed himself in communi-
cation with the foreign office there and
had actually had an interview with Lord
Salisbury They had been further in
formed that after his appointment MIR.
Hay had held a three hours conference
with John Hay Hammond, convicted Of
high treason against the Transvaal gov
ernme mt and now an active campaigner
against the Boer cause.
II was at this stage OF the case Of Con-
sui Hay, according to the Journals Wash
ington correspondent, that Secretary Reitz
took the assistant secretary of the interior
into his confidence.
"Mr Davis" said Reitz, ut will never
do for us to receive this young man and
admit him 10 the confidential relations to
which he is entitled as American consul.
The impressions which he has made In
London in consultation with our enemies
would make it suicidal. We would be
harboring an emissary of Great Britain
in our midst"
This was the status Of affairs when
Davis took up Hays case He persuaded
Secretary Reitz to receive him, partly be
cause he wished to avoid any possibility
of offending the American Secretary Of
State, and partly because he trusted 10
the impression young Hay would receive
from personal contact with the Beers 10
convert him into a friend Of the republics.
On the plea made by Davis young Hay
escaped the humiliation of being sent
home as persona non grata.
