MAKES IT'S RECORDS SAFE.
Spanish Legation Leases Building for
Use as a Depository.

Senior Riano. minister of Spain at
Washington. has solved the problem of
caring for the archives of his legation,
which embrace many papers and docu-
ments OF great value to that government,
by leasing the residence property 1919
New Hampshire avenue, adjoining the
legation, for a chaneellery.
The archives embrace important COL
lections of historical papers pertinent to
America. They date back to the presen-
tation at the White House Of the first
diplomatic representative to the United
States in 1892. Workmen are now busy
making the necessary changes to accom-
modate the library and official parapher-

Since 1892. when Spain followed France
in sending a diplomatic representative to
Washington, the legation here has care

that c0untry's relations with the United
Statos
Workmen are now busy making the
necessary changes to accommodate the
library and official paraphernalia that have

Of the enlargement of the legation quar-
tiers until the present time is very largely
due to the fact that the two ministers

and the third ambassador was not &C.
