WASHINGTON WAS FIRST

Father of His Country Forced Recall of Frenchman?
Last Previous Case Was That of Spaniard,
Under President McKinley.

Washington, Sept, 9.?The case, b
fore Dr. Dumha's, of improper condu
on the part of a foreign diplom;
which caused this government to d
mfind his recall, was that of Dupuy <
Lome, Minister from Spain, who wnv
a letter to a Spanish journalist i
Cuba which contained remaiks derogi
tory to the late President McKinle
The letter was abstracted from th
mails at Havana by a Cuban sympatl
iaer, and published in a New Yor
per on February f?, lR?f?, a ?hoi
time before the opening of hoatilitil
with Spain.
Commenting on the President's me.
sure to Congress, the letter refer re
lo Mr. McKinle] as "wcuk, and a bic
?'.er for the admiration of the crow.
besides b'-ing a would-be politicis
who tries to leave a door open behin
him while keeping on good t.-rmi wit
the Jingoe? of hi? party." Se?or d
I .?me acknowledged the authenticit
of the letter, and the Ami ritan Min
ister at Madrid was instructed to as
for his immediate recall, on the groun
that the letter contained "expression
concerning the President of tbe L'nite
State* of such character a? to end th
Minister's utility a? a medium fo
frank and rincere intercourfe betwee
this country and Spain."
Before the matter could be laid be

Dupuy de Lome resigned us Ministe;
bia resignation wa? accented. Tlo
Spanish government later <iisclairr.ee
any participation in hi? sentiments, am
the United States declared the inciden
closed.
Washington Set Eismple.
President Washington net the exam
nie for prompt uction in ?uch case? a
Dr. Dumha's, and this course has brei
consistently followed by the Unitei
States throughout it? history. (In Au
gui't 16, 17W, France wa? assed to re
call Minister Genet, who ??.a.- ehargei
with enlisting men and fitting on' e\
petitions in thi? country and wit!
flouting requests of this government te
Soasa such activities.
He expressed contempt for the Pres?
ident and questioned his authority. He
also pretended that he wa? acting on
instructions from his government, snd
demanded that the President should lay
the matter before Congress. The French
government Immediately complied ? v 11 h
the request for his recall, and stated
in a formal n"te that it had no part in
his "proceedings and criminal ma
n.ruvie- ' . 111> successor, If, Fauchet,
demanded his arrest, but the !
States refused "upon reasons of law
and magnanimity."
It i? inteie?ting to note that France
later requested the recall of Gouver?
neur Mortis, the American Minister in
Paris, who presented the demand for
the recall of Genet Morri? became ob?
noxious to the French government
through hi? open friendship for Loui?
\V?, and it is stated that at one time
he nearly accomplished the monarch's
escape from Paris.
Kusnian Minister Recalled.
In 1M71 the l'nited State? informed
the Russian government that the con
d?Cl of it? minister, Mr. Catoeasjr, had
been, both officially and personally
"?uch as materially to impair hi? use?
fulness to his own government, anil to
render intercourse with him, fo'r either
business or social purposes, highly dis?
agreeable " The Russian government
?as aaksd to send another representa?
tive m place of Mr. Catacazy.
iBd Duke Alexis was then about to
, visit the l'nited State?, and the Lu?
1 Bian F.mperor asked that action be sus
I until after the Grand Duke's
visit. The l'nited State? replied that
it was willing to "tolerate Mr Catararv
until after the visit of th? Prince, but
the President would not receive hira,
except when he accompanied th?
Prince, and would hold no conversa?
tion with him."
Mr. Cataeas? was charged with offi?
cious interference in matters of l?gis?
lation, the use of the press in an at?
tempt to influence pending questions,
with denouncing meanures and individ?
ual.?, using abusive and vituperative
language in conversation concerning
public officials and with attempting to
defeat the negotiations of the l'nie.1
with Great Britain.
Mr. Catacazy was delegated by h!s
government to wait on the grand duke
and turn over the affairs of the lega
tion to a charge, and the United States
announced that unless Mr. Catacazy re?
peated his offence.* his pssinorti ?ou* I
he withheld until the date fixed for his
return to Russia.
In case of a refusal by a foreign
power to recall its representative on re?
ouest it is the custom to hand the of?
fending diplomat his passports and to
inform his government that he can no
longer be received or dealt with in any
way If he fails to avail himself of the
opportunity to leave the country hi?
presence is ignored.
British Offender Ignored.
This wa? done in the case of the
British Minister, F. J. Jackson, whose
recall was asked in l-?0.? because he
charged that the T'nited States, in ac?
cepting an agreement of his predeces?
sor, acted in bad faith. He declared the
United States knew that the minister
had no authority to make the agree?
ment, and that the United States would
not be able to bind Great Britain
thereby. In agreeing to his recall the
British Foreign Office annouiced that
his majesty acquiesced, but that his ac?
tion wa? "not marked with any cxpres
sio i of hi.? displeasure " When it
seemed that Great Britain was going to
leave the affairs of her American mis?
sion indefinitely in the hands of a
charg? d'affaires, the United States an?
nounced that it would withdraw the
American Minister likewise. Tl.; wai
SV0 led by the speedy appointment of
a new British Minister.
Explaining the re?entment of this
government, the Secretary of State
wrote to Mr. Pinckney, our Minister at
London :
"I am dc?ired to refer you for an ex?
planation to the indignant feelings ex?
cited by the conduct of Mr. Jackson,
and especially by his attempt, through
his printed circular to the British con?
suls, to produce a popular current
Sgsinat this government."
Backfill* Case Sensational.
Perhap? the most sensational inci?
dent of this kind involved Lord Sack
ville. the BrltNh Minister to the t'nited
States in 1R8?.
In reply to letters from naturalized
citizens, or on his own initiative. Lord
Sackville sought to arouse a political
resentment against President Cleveland
over the Canadian fisheries dispute.
Sackville was handed his pasuports
and his government was notified
through our minister at London. Reply?
ing to this notification, Lord Saliaburj
announce.1 that while the handing of
Lord Sackville'l passport* left nothing
to dispute, the government of Greet
Britain "is unable to a??ent to the
view that the acceptance or retention
of a minister wa? a question solely to
be determined, with or without the as
?igamont of reason?, by the govern?
ment to which he was accr?dite?!."
The Secretary of State, Mr. Bayard,
replie,1 that Lord Ball ..rrect
in principie, bat thai Sackville'l offence
created a different situation, in that his
d ,r. whar tb.il g?Vl ri.
ment wai ompelled to regard i - -
intentional interference in our domei

to control the political action of per?
sons who, though formerly his country?
men and fellow subjects, had renounced
their allegiance to the British govern?
ment,"
BERLIN DENIES
RESPONSIBILITY
Continued from ?m*?-' 1
Star Line steamer Arable on August 19,
which was communicated to the Ameri?
can Ambassador. James W. Gerard, for
transmission to Washington, is in the
form of a memorandum under date of
September ". -he text of which follows:
"(in August 10 a German submarine
stopped the Knglish steamer Punsley
?\boiit sixteen nnutiea! mile? south of
Kinsnle, and wns on the point of link?
iing the pri7.e by gunfire af'er tht crew
hail left the vessel. At this moment
the commander ?aw a large steamer
making directly tou-ard him. This
-?earner si developed later, was the
Arnbic. She was recognized as on ,
enemy vessel, as she did not fly any j
flag and bore no neutral markings.
"When she approached she altered
hi : original course, but then again
rotated directly toward the submarine. |
From this the commander became con-]
\inced that the steamer had the In?
tention of attacking and ramming him.
Ir. order to SBtiCipatS this attack he
irdors for in? lubmarins to dive!
rnd fired a torpedo at the steame?-. 1
After tiring, he convinced himself that
th? people on board were being rescued
in fifteen boats.
Ordered to Give Warning.
"According to his instructions the ,
et.mmander was nit allowed to attack
tr.c Arabic without warning and with
? ut saving the lives, unless the ship
attimpted to escape or offered reillt*
rnce. He was forced, however, to con- \
elude from the attendant circumstances j
that the Arabic planned a violent at
tack on the submarine.
"This conclusion i- all the more ob?
vious ss he had ocen flred upon at a
in the Irish Sea on ;
August 11 that ?s, S few days before
I-, a large passenger -?earner apparent?
ly belonging to the flriti.-h Royal Mail
Packet i oAipany, which he had
neither attacked nor stopped.
"The German government mn?t
deeply regrr's that lives were lost'
.through the action of the commander.
I It particularly expresses this regret, to;
the government of the United States |
on account of the death of American i
citizens.
"The German government is unable,'
however, to acknowledge any obliga- j
tion to grant indemnity in the matter, i
even If the commander should have ]
been mistaken as to the aggressive in- ?
tentions of the Arabic.
Offers to Arbitrate.
"If it should prove to he the case
that it is impossible for the Gorman
and American governments to reach a
harmonious opinion on this point, the
German government would be prepared
to submit the difference of opinion, as
being a question of international law,
to ttie Hague Tribunal for arbitration,
pursuant to Article 38 of the Hague
Convention for the pacific settlement
cf international dispute?.
"In so doing it assumes that, as a
matter of course, the arbitral decision
? shall not be admitted to have the im?
portance of a genera! decision on the
, permissibility or the converse under
international law of German submarine
warfare."

As a strictly military event, great
importance u attached to the Russian

heavy artillery, on a twenty-mile front
for the undoubted purpose of break?

to execute it, inflicting ?evere losses
and taking 8,000 prisoners and slaugh?
tering an entire corps.
German Guns Superior.
Th? fact that the Russian? could not

of driving back the Russians - the ]
' right bank of the Dvina, in the di?
rection of Dvinak. There has been !
an artillery engagement of particular I
violence at Abtla. The situation j
?long the Vilna roads is generally
without change. The enemy is
strongly fortifying himself.
In the direction of Grodno, south?
east of Skuiel, along the left bank
of the Niemen, and in the region of
the mouth of the Roi, the stubborn
fighting of the Russians on Septem?
ber *?? hampered the enemy's offen?
sive. Especially persistent enemy at?
tacks are reported from the Skidel
region.
The Russians continue their re?
treat, occasionally delivering counter
attacks. At Sokolov, west of Skidel,
the Germans fled after a Russian
counter attack.
Between the Niemen and the Pri
pet the Russians are retreating to
the region of Zelwianka and Roz
hany. Along the left hank of the
Pripet there has been an energetic
offensive, and the enemy cavalry and
infantry have been held up on the
Kftmemka Kashizski anu Pinsk
roads.
On the road to Rovno our troop?,
after an action yesterday (Wsdnss
day1 against great enemy force? ?ad?
vancing along the Olynta-Ki.-va-i
Railway, are holding their advanc?
on position? up the rivers Stub?l
and Ikwa, where rhe enemy is ?up
porting his offensive by the most
violent artillery tire, which our
troops are enduring with the great?
est courage.
In the Sereth district, southwe?*
of Trembowla, our assumption of the
offensive resulted Tuesday in a suc?
cess as important as that at Tamo?
pol. During Tuesday and Wednes?
day we took 150 officers and 7,000
men, as well as three gun? and
thirty-six machine guns. Our losses
were unimportant. Yesterday even?
ing the enemy retreated in grent
haste, pursued by our troops, toward
the Stripa River.
Since September 3 our success on
the whole front of the River Sereth
resulted in the capture by us of If!
officers and over 17,000 men, four?
teen heavy gun?, nineteen light guns,
sixty-six machine guns and fifteen
artillery limbers.
Altogether our armie? are firmly
.ind resolutely carrying out the move?
ment in conformity with the object
assigned, and contemplate the future
with confidence. Our faithful ally
the French army, for fifteen day?
past has been bombarding the Ger?
man front with terrible effect.
