Some felt that no one has a right to insult the President.

Some felt that the Spanish Minister was "Right On".

Some felt that it was no "Big Deal".

The Minister himself probably felt that publication of his personal mail in a newspaper was a violation of his privacy. In any case, he resigned his position and apologised to his Government for the embarrassment that he had caused.

Some feels that President McKinley was so insulted that it was a reason for him to declare war. If that was a reason to send men into combat then he was not a man who had a place in the political arena.
