Il can hardly realize it. Spain has
lost the strongest man il the country.
The loss is almost irreparable. He was
a man of high ideals and one of the
NEST capable in Spain. He had enacted
many reforms, especially in educational
matters, and he obtained many liberties
for the mass of the people.
II do not know of any man who can
fill his place. He was democratic in all
his actions.
Senior Riano said he had intended to
remain with friends in this city for a
few days, butSthat the assassination of
Canalejas has changed his plans.
II will return to Washington at once
and get in touch with my government,
