"When the fa mous picture was rce-tond to its owner in Chicago last April there were many surmises- as to the medium of lit return. William A. PInkerton, who made the for mal announcement of the recovery of the painting, refused to confirm or deny any of the stories. Now that "Worth is dead, Mr. Pinkerton can speak. "Worth gave him written permission to reveal the Gainsborough secret after he died. "Wrapped in oilcloth, the canvas was handed over to C. Moreland Agnew one morning last April in Chicago by "Worth, who 25 years before had cut the painting Trom its frame n the Agnew gallery. In London. The teturn of the painting took place in Mr. Pinkerton's private office. The owner of the -picture hurried back to London for fear the United Stater author ities would demand customs duty on the work, which had been secreted in this tountry for 1." years. It was while In London that "Worth ronccived the Idea of carrying off the UaJnfborough picture. His first plan was to rob the Royal Academy of Its art treasures. Then he changed his mind and airected his attention to the Gainsborough painting. Assisted by his partner, he rllmbed Into the Agnew gallery one night, jut the painting from its canvas and car oled it away. Woith owned a steam raeht. and the canvas was taken aboard md concealed there until he sold the ves- cl to Lord Lorr3nlc. Then he took the picture to Paris and finally brought it to America, where It was concealed for 15 J ears. In the meantime "Worth was ar reted in Brussels and forced to serve Kven yeans. Mr. Pinkerton had known "Worth for 30 rears. Two years ago Mr. Pinkerton re relvwl a telegram telling him that an important letter was at his home. The letter was from "Worth, who asked an in terview. Thli was granted, and Worth ?aid he was going to die. and wanted to "turn up" the Gainsborough picture in srder that his two children, who had been educated in a convent, might enjoy :he proceeds.

CHANDLER BLAMES WOODFORD Saj'it He Mliiht Hnve Averted the AVnr With Spnln. WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. An open letter from Ex-Senator William E. Chandler is given out for publication today. It treats of Incidents preceding our war with Spain, endeavoring to how that had Min ister Woodford acted lri accordance with his instructions from the Secretary or State, the war might have been averted and the desired end accomplished. The controversy hinges on a cable mes sage from Secretary of State Day to Min ister Woodford sent on Sunday, March 27, 1S5S, wherein Mr. Day directs Mr. Woodford to sec if the following can be done: "First Armistice until October 1. Nego tiations meantime looking to peace. . . . "Second Immediate revocation of rc concentrado order . . . and the needy to be relieved with provisions and sup plies from United States, co-operating with authorities so as to afford full relief. "And If possible: "Third If terms of peace not satisfac torily settled by October 1. President of the Unltcf. States to be final arbiter be tween Spain and Insurgents. "If Spain agrees. President will use friendly olttces to get Insurgents to accept plan. Prompt action desirable. "DAY." After arguing that Minister Woodford's duty was to disclose the entire contents of this message to the Spanish Government, Senator Chandler asserts that Minister Woodford alone by himself was negotia ting to buy Cuba for the United States without any authority whatever from Congress or the President; who was op posed alike to Cuban autonomy and Cu ban Independence; who never told Spain that she could have peace by making Cuba Independent: and whose whole plan appears to have been so to manage that about October 1. 1S9S. he might have the personal distinction of buying Cuba from Spain for the United States a plan slightly anticipated by Spain's abandon ment of Cuban sovereignty on August 12, 1S9S. Senator Chandler says explanations and excuses are very much needed, but none can be made. "Woodford AnMirers Chnndler. NEW YORK, Feb. 6. A copy of ex Senator Chandler's article, reviewing tho diplomatic Incidents which preceded the Spanish-American War. was shown to General Stewart L. Woodford, ex-Minister to Spain, and after reading he said: "I have no idea that the public will be Interested In this tnatter of ancient his tory. If so, the simple answer is: It Is true, I never demanded independence. It was absolutely unsafe to do so. It would have resulted In my being ordered away within 34 hours, and would have precipi tated the war sooner than It came. I never had any instruction to demand In dependence. The only thing looking to It was a suggestion of the President for my own guidance. I answered that the inde pendence of Cuba was, under the Spanish constutltlon, impossible without prior sanction of the Cortes, which was not then in session, and would not have met for a month. Thereafter my Instructions looked to an armistice. "As to the purchase, the thing never was In the remotest way suggested to me by the Administration. On my own hook I sounded one or two persons at Madrid and found that as Impracticable as the suggestion of Independence, and so I never suggested it to the Spanish Govern ment. Meantime I did suggest, having clearly in my mind the question of In dependence or of cession by sale, an armis tice during the rainy season, believing that If I could Induce Spain to take that step then. Influences at work during the first six months would make the necessary step possible, to-wlt., either Independence or cession to the United States by sales. "It Is much easier three years after ward, and coolly looking over the records In a comfortable study, to say what might have been done or what ought to have been done. It Is mighty easy to forget the strain under which the Minister of tho United States was" devoting himself heart and soul to what was, as everybody knows, the very first wish of the Presi dent, and that was the avoidance of war and the preservation of peace." REAFFIRMED THE STATEMENT. Germany's Attitude Before the Span ish AVnr. BERLIN, Feb. 6. The official British denial that Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambassador at Washington, on April 14, 169S, made a second proposal to the pow ers to remonstrate with the United States, was today laid before a high German of ficial, whose functions give him absolute first-hand knowledge of everything Just as It occurred. He reaffirmed the state ment made In these dispatches yesterday. Referring to his copious notes, he dic tated therefrom to the correspondent of the Associated Press the following data: "On February 14, the Spanish Ambassa dor at Berlin asked the German Govern ment whether Germany was willing to hend a European movement against the United States In defense of the monarchic principle. The next day the Ambassador was Informed by order of the Emperor that Germany would under no circum stances take the action desired. Spain renewed her efforts In March to secure some action by Germany, but she was again answered with a refusal. At the same time Dr. von Holleben was Instruct ed to only take part Jn any steps at Washington in the interests of peace. If all the other five great powers partici pated. Then on April 7 the Joint note was handed to President -McKlnley. "We were Informed from Washington April 14 that the British Ambassador there had proposed a second collective note, declnrlng that armed Intervention in Cuba would be unjustifiable. Again, upon the Emperor's order, the Gcrmnn representa tives at Washington, Rome, Vienna and Madrid were instructed that Germany would refuse to participate In such a declaration, ns she saw no prospect that anything could be accomplished thereby." The correspondent of the Associated Press gets the Impression that while the German Government wishes to avoid the appearance of desiring to fall Into the United States arms, on the other hand she regards it as Important to controvert the wrong impression that Germany was dis posed to do anything unfriendly to the United States.
