Wcrrlr.r 1 verve and TRUE HISTORY OF DE LOME'S LETTER HOW IT WAS OBTAINED AND MADE PUBLIC. Discovered by a Cuban Secretary, Who Bealizcd Its Value and Brought It to This Country Its Publication Resulted in DeLome's Dismissal and Hastened tho War. It will be remembered how the avow als of undiminished friendship between the United States and Spain were re peatedly being exchanged Just beforo the war, despite the Incendiary utter ances In congress and the passive ro slHtnnce offered by the Spanish author ities at Havana to the distribution of the rations that the people of the United States were contributing for the relief of tho starving "reconcen trados," and how, at this Juncture, a certain letter, written by Mr. Dupuy do Lome, the Spanish minister nt Washington, to Mr. Canalejas, n min ister of the Spanish parliament, who had gone to Cuba to study the situa tion there, was made public, Its con tents causing a great sensation. This letter, wherein tho president of tho United Statc was described as a low-grndo polltlclnn, wns reproduced In fuc-slmlle in the newspapers. Aftsr Mr. Dupuy do Lome's acknowledge ment of Its identity the matter was taken up by the administration and referred to Madrid, coupled with a re quest to remove the minister, who thereby became persona non grata, and who received his passports without awaiting the reply from Madrid. He claimed that he had demanded his passports and presented his resigna tion beforo this step was taken; but this matters little in the affair, as there Is no question of doubt about tho re moval being solely due to the discov ery of the letter. In this ho had com mitted himself In a manner allowing of no explanation, as It was a breach of diplomatic courtesy which could not be tolerated, especially at a period when public opinion was already bo stirred over the Maine explosion It had become difllcult to keep It within bounds. Many theories have been expounded regarding bow this letter was ob tained. Some claimed that It could only have been secured by the secret service officials at the United States post ofllce. Others denied this, ns let ter of that character were seldom for warded through tho malls. The gen eral opinion, however, was In favor of believing that the letter had been taken at Havana from the malls by sonm Cuban spy, working at the post ofllce, this belief being due to the cer tain knowledge that under the new autonomist regime then being intro duced In Cuba a considerable number of Cuban sympathizers had obtained posts In the government ofIleesw so ns to be better able to come In touch with the Spanish officials, and find out the movements of the troops, which were being constantly discussed In all Span ish circles. WHO OBTAINED IT. It is now claimed that the person who obtained the letter was not In the employ of the Spanish government: he was, in fact, one of tho many people In Cuba looking for work. The story goes that Canalejas, the Spanish minister, bad arrived in Havana after staying pome days In Washington, and was so busy calling and receiving calls from the ofllclals, political party leaders, of fice seekers and friends that for some time after arriving- there he could not find the time to attend to his corres pondence. At tho end of two weeks his mall matter hnd so accumulated that he realized that he could do noth ing without a eecretary, nnd he naked his friend Amblard, leader of the Span ish reformist party, to secure him a pei son for this purpose, offering him $100 for the work. A young man called Escoto was rec ommended for the position, and ho pre sented himself at the Inglnterrn hotel, and after the usual preliminaries was engaged by the crown minister. His first work, Canalejas Instructed him, would be to assort the letters Into groups and classify them political friends, oitlelal letters, social, private, olllce-seekers, etc. He had Just com menced his work under his employer's supervision when a political friend called nnd Canalejas left tho room to receive his visitor. Tho young man proceeded with his work, nnd having finished with the opened letters he took up the parcel of mall that had not yet been touched. He came upon an unopened letter, sealed with the stamp of the Spanish legation nt Washington; he waited for a while,, but the minister did not re turn, nnd after a few minutes' hesita tion he tore open the envelope and read the letter. After doing this Escoto realized that It was of so great an Im portance that It would be simply Im possible for him to tell Canalejas that he had opened it by mistake. He read the letter over several times, and mak ing up his mind to use It to advan tage he put It into his pocket. ESCOTO'S PLAN. For four consecutive days his wryit with Canalejas went on, and In the meanwhile the secretary obtained an introduction to Lascote. the revolu tionary delegate In Havana, afterward mayor of that city. He asked for $30 to go to New York and take the letter In person. Tin mnttPr was considered, and the general opinion nmong the Hnvanp delegates wns not very favor able. None of them had heard of the man. Ills father, they discovered, was a conductor on iin Engllsr railroad company in the island, but nothing more appeared to be known about the son. At the same time it was out of the questlo to allow a chance like that to escape without an effort being made to bring tho letter before the govern ment of the United .States. A solution was presented; tho man would leave the Island with the $50 ho had asked foi, but he would be accom panied by a person In touch with the Junta, and, to avoid his being able to communicate with doubtful characters, he would be taken to a port where the danger was least. This plan was ac cepted and the $."0 was subscribed by five of the delegation. Escoto, accom panied by a Cuban of tho name of Sar ruchnga, left for Cardenas, and on lndlng in New York they .were met by Mr. Horatio nubeus, the member of the American bar who mado himself famous during tho Cuban rebellion by his defense of the filibustering expedl. tlons denounced to the Washington authorities by tho Spanish minister, BUOUOHT IT BEFOItE THE PltESI DENT. Once relieved of the letter, the rest was comparatively easy. After having a photograph taken of the letter Mr. IMibens. Mr. Estrada Palma and Mr. In bringing it before the president, Es. coto was taken to Washington and carefully cross-examined In connection with tho whole nffnlr. Everything ap pearing to corroborate his statements, nnd the handwriting being undoubtedly Dupuy de Lome's, the matter became an nffnlr of atate of gint moment, Tho pr.ess yas Informed, the letter was pub lished In every newspaper In tho Unit ed States, nnd was cabled to every capital In Europe. Tills Is tho most circumstantial story yet told of tho publication of the Dc Lome letter, nnd It bears tho Impress of truth. BASE BALL.

Clymor's Coal Barons Yesterday Whito Washed by Burnham's Boys-Corbott's Work. Wllkes-Barre, Juno 12. The Wllkes Barro and Scranton clubs of the de funct Atlantic base ball league played an exhibition game here today. James J. Corbett, the pugilist, played first base for the local team and also gave an exhibition In boxing with Jack Mc Vey. After his experience In Elmtra yesterday Corbett made sure to got his money In advance today. Tin ex champlon played better ball than any other man on the Wllkes-Barre team. Ho was the only man on the Wllkes Barre side to reach third base. He also made a double play unassisted. The score was S to 0 In Scranton's fa vor. Just before the game started an attorney, on behalf of the manager of the Harrlsburg club, made applica tion to the court for a preliminary In junction to prevent Wllkes-Barre from playing nn exhibition game, tho man ager of tho Harrlsburg team claiming that ho was scheduled to play with the local club and that Wllkes-Barre had violated Its contract with him. Coun sel for the home club claimed that the application for an injunction was In the nature of a hold-up, as many peo ple had already paid admission to the playing ground nnd that the Harrls burg manager had ample time to bring proceedings earlier In the day. The Injunction was denied. The man ager of tho Harrlsburg club Is Indig nant at the bad treatment ho claims ho received at the hands of the Wllkes Barre club. President Powers, of theEastern league, telegraphed to tho manager of the Wilkes-Barre club that he has filed the applications of Scranton and Wllkes-Barre for admission into the Eastern league, but as then? are no vacancies at present, ho does not think there is much hope for the ad mission of either.

RIGHT OFF THE BAT. Wllkes-Barre today. Milllgan pitched fine bill jesterday and in ad dition to glvnig only four hits fanned out right or nina men, and this feat against an accri Ra tion of sluggers like Wilkes-Banc is no small thing. Jimmy Dean, ''ie Scranton hoy who has been playing such . fine game at the Khnlra second base, lias bem signed by the Oswego manage ment nnd will play second for that city's team In the New York State league. James J. Corbett, who will play first base for Scranton in this afternoon's game Is far from being an amateurish player. In the game at Elm Ira be batted with terrific force and ran the liases like a whirlwind. In yesterday's game at Wllkes-Barre he batted Mllllgan as well as any man on the team, anil made an unassUtcd double play, which was the feature of the contest, taking a short line drive from Toft's bat and doubling up O'Brien before the fast captain could get back to tlrst. After the fifth inning today he will spar three round with Jack Me Vey. The members of the Allentown base ball team spent yesterday in Scranton and will probably Itave the city this morning. Tom Dolehanty, who is taking charge of the team during the ab sence of Manager Sharslg, who is 1 in Phila. delphla, had a good ileal to hay yesterday about tho present base ball situation, and expressed himself as very sorry that things hail taken the unfortunate turn that they have. He said that tho Allentown team would hold together until the end of the season and that there is a prob ability that the nine may be transferred to At lantic City, and there play semi-professional ball.

Nearly v30 per cent, of the patient! in Paris hospitals havo been found lo be persons who were addicted to the ocessive use of alcohol. Ladysmlth received dally ilurinjtvlhe siege a doso of thrco tons of Boer explosives, 12,000 shells being thrown Into the town before relief came. Sydney newspapers announce the issue by ths postal authorities of Victoria of 40,000 one-penny and 20,000 two-penny special war stomps, which arc to be sold at ono and two shillings each, the profits to be devoted to patriotic purposes. Along the docks and piers of New York city are to bo found ample evidence! of the great growth of our foreign trade. Ships aro loading ther. for poits In every quarter of the world, and so rapidly are the goods being delivered that tho facilities for handling them are severely taxed. On Lake Baikal, In Siberia, In February, a new ice-breaking steamer, which was built on the lake, was given a trial trip. The Journey was made from Llstvennltsehnoyc to I'ereyomnaya and back through Ico two feet seven Inches in thickness, tho distance ot eighty miles being tra- ( veised, In iwclvo hours. Tho most curious street pavement in the world Is that which has rccntly lieen put down in Lyons, France. It Is of glass, tho blocks being about eight inches square, each made up of sixteen smaller blocks. Tho glass blocks arc an, tightly fitted together that water cannot pass lietvvren them, As a pavement glass is 'said to hav greater ifistanie tnan stone. The flrkt law of congress fixing rates of postage went Into effect on June 1, 1702, says the New Yiiik Tribune, with rates ai follows!
