Del Monieri is back in the Chancellery again after an absence of ten days because of rheumatism. He has no serious news but expects to hear from Estella soon. The dispatches issued by the Spanish Government are lies, as are the dispatches printed in the Herald. General Concha has entered Logrono, a small city in northern Spain, where there cannot be any Carlists, since they are concentrating their forces upon the city of Estella in Navarre, which had been occupied by the royal army almost continuously from 1833 to 1840. It seems that the victorious Republican army is marching about in circles, to avoid meeting the King's army. McMaster probably remembers what Del Monieri told him about the Prussians and Cuba. Now, less than two weeks later, two German employes in the New York Post Office have resigned their positions to go to Porto Rico, and no steamer has gone to Cuba or Porto Rico without having one or more Prussian officials aboard travelling "for their health", at a time of year when everyone else is leaving Havana for the sake of health. The Prussian Consul, Zatch, orders that he be sent a confidential clerk, who is immediately supplied by the German Consulate General and given a gratuitous visa by the Spanish Consulate General. Del Monieri and his fellow-employees received their April's salary on May 20, less a reduction of 25% as a patriotic offering to the Spanish Republican party. He does not know when they will receive their salary for May, since the Consul General of Spain has spent $400. in refitting his office. As soon as he receives the precious cash he will call upon McMaster and Keiley. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
