Tho king of drccco summoned Iho

against tho recent action of '(ho nllics

won from Mexico after tho Mexican

"By following not a policy of

ous meddling," said Mr. Mondcll,
"coupled with basa betrayal nud cal
lous indifforenco to tho welfare and
safuty of American citizens, has tho
administration lost tho rcspoot aud
