MYSTERY OF WILLIAMS’ CASE.

No Official Notification from Spain Demanding Recall. Washington, D. C., March 14 —lt is seven days since the A cable report came from Madrid that a cabinet council had agreed to ask the recall of United States Counsul Williams at . Havana, and as yet no official demand; for his recall ha 3 been received. Mr. Williams has stated in Havana that he had not heard of the contemplated recall, and yet the Spanish officials at Madrid have not denied the original report that a demand for his recall had been agreed upon. Under these circumstances officials intimate that the return of President Cleveland from his hunting trip and the recovery of Secretary Gresham from his attack of la grippe will lead to a clearing up of the situation, as the absence of the two chiefs most concerned with diplomatic affairs is regarded as explanatory of the inaction since the report first came from Madrid. Spanish officials here will say nothing on the subject, but it is believed they would take occasion to dismiss the report if it was entirely groundless.
