the days when his was the

he ever did while president attracted

controversy with Venezuela over the
boundary between the latter country
and British Guiana. In an Interview

lands secretary of the navy. now for
the first time tells the true inwardness
Of that historic episode.
'The foundation for Mr.. Cleveland's
celebrated Venezuelan message" said
Mr.. Herbert, was the note OF Secre-
tary of State Olney to Lord Sails
bury, the British minister for foreign
affairs. That note was written during
the congressional recess, three months
before congress convened, and before
Mr.. Cleveland's message was prepared.
The Olney note was drafted after a
consultation between the secretary OF
state and Mr.. Cleveland during the
summer at Great Gables on Buzzard's
bay. Mr.. Olney went there, as have
always understood. to confer with the
president about the Venezuelan ques-
ton. The note was submitted to every

lions which existed between the presi-
dent and his wife were indignant at
the publication. That It was abso-
lutely false quickly discovered for
myself. Crossing the White House
grounds, I saw Mrs. Cleveland bending
over a bed of pansies In which she
took special interest. She was q beau
tiful picture that morning. Her eyes
were as clear as crystal. showing that
she had slept well. and her skin with
out blemish. The alleged brutality
of Mr.. Cleveland towards his wife was
frequently described by the paper re-
ferred to, but never did see any justi-
fication or foundation for the state
ments 1t published. Because the presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland refused to ex-
hibit their children to tho gaping
crowd reports were published that
they were idiots and that one Of them
was blind. These reports were not
only false, but so cruel as to arouse
the hearty indignation Of the friends
OF the president and his wife.

cabinet knew for three or four months

bombshell had been prepared. Never

Nobody knew anything about It, AS
Mr.. Cleveland himself said. he did not
believe in doing public business on the

himself just after he had returned from
