The important feature is that he shall no longer represent the Spanish government The offense with which DeLome is charged and which he refuses to deny is in a letter written to a friend in Cuba in which he said Paesident McKinley was a low politician and catered to the worst elements in American politics receiving his ideas from jingoes In some manner the letter fell into the hands of the Cuban leaders in New York and was given to the press The letter was written ten days ago and was first published last Friday Its genuineness was doubted at first in official circles or at least thought some
