SO Many Changes Noted In Diplomatic Corps AsNew Year Advances|" Envoys Depart for Other Posts Leaving Legations in Other Hands — Bachelor [ M Contingent Given Piromi- nence. In the wake of so many changes in the personnel of the corps of ministers assigned to Washington, the dignity of becoming charge d'affaires descends upon several well known bachelors. Mr. William J. B. Macauley, first sec- retary of the Irish Free State legation, is an immense favorite in the younger sot and possessed of all requisite draw- ing room accomplishments. He has been in Washington for four years, but still retains his single blessedness, al- though exposed to all manner of temn- tations at the balls and banquets which he attends with geal. Mr Macauley is a native of County Antrim, one of the states of North Ireland, where many sympathizers with the Free State move- ment gained adherents. He received his collegiate training at famous ‘Trinity College in Dublin and entered the dip- Jomatic service soon after the forma- tion of the Irish Free State. He is in his late thirties. Mr. Macauley has re- ceived no official information as to the ! coming of Dr. Michael MacWhite, the successor of Dr. Smiddy, first envoy from free Ireland, but this will probably not be delayed more than a few weeks, as the new envoy had already left Geneva, where he was stationed, and was in conference with the Dublin of- cials when his appointment was made public last week. Mrs. MacWhite is a native of Copenhagen of acknowledged ability. Other Legation Heads Among the Absentees. Senor Alejandro Cesar, Minister from Nicaragua, who was recalled early this month, has been succeeded by Senor Juan Sacasa, who will probably come to Washington in the next month. He was the leader of the liberal govern- ment, which revolted from the existing regime and led to the intervention of the United States and the sending of the present governor general of the Philippines, Mr. Henry Stimson, to Managua on & peace mission. Mean- time the charge d'affaires of Nicaragua is one of the most popular members of the Latin American wing and one of its most accomplished in the social sense. Senor Zavala has many times during the rather stormy years of the past acted in the role and always with grace and entire satisfaction. Although the exact date of the re- tirement of the Rumanian Minister, M. ,- has not been an-|gave George Cretziano, nounced, it is believed to be in the immediate future. Prince Mihall R. Sturdza, counselor of the legation, who will then act in behalf of Rumania’s interests, is of distinguished lineage and had accomplished much before his as- signment to this capital. After throw- ing off Turkish domination the princes of the house of Sturdza held sovereign CIETY. wore frocks of green velvet, with hats to match, and carried pink roses and pink sweet peas.

Jan Ciex- henowski, is a popular member of the corps, erudite. socialable and in the category of bachelors. Senor Angel Morales, Minister from the Dominican Republic, has obtained a long leave of absence, and with his family, sailed during the past week for Santo Domingo. He is the youngest envoy ever accredited to Washington, acking several months of completing his thirty-second year when he pre- sented his credentials. A member of the international board in charge of the local operations on the erection of the mammoth lig] Santo Domingo, it is certain that Senor Morales will be absent for many months, and indeed, it seems probable that he| may not return at all. . Tribute Was Authorized By Pan- American Congress. The sixth Pan American Congress, held last January and Feb: in Havana, authorized this belated te of all the Americas to the memary of their discoverer, and the Dominican government placed many preliminary details in the hands of its energetic Washington envoy. Senora Morales was before her marriage Caridad Rojas, and her marriage, which occurred eight years ago, was one of the last solemnized in the venerable Cathedral of Santo Domingo before the work on its restora- tion began. This church is the oldest in continual service in the New World, and to the left of the main altar is thg marble mausoleum of Columbus, where the Dominicans contend his remains still rest, and that the Spanish after the Cuban War removed with great pomp and circumstance those of Don Diego, his son. The Swiss Minister, Dr. Marc Peter, has obtained a prolonged leave of ab- sence, his first in some years, and M. Etienne Lardy is charge d'affaires. He and Mme. Lardy have won a distinct place in the affections of Washing- tonians, their home on Observatory Circle is an important point of diplo- matic contact. Willard-Keys Wedding, Event of Yesterday.
