ne LONE Outlines Spain's Policy
in Cuba.
washington, Oct. 27.-The event of the
6av al the state department was the re-
cetDt of the long-expected cablegram from
Tinted States Minister Woodford at Mad
rid transmitting the answer of the Span
Ash government to his representations in
the interest of peace in Cuba. This mes
sage began to come in installments al
o'clock last night, and it was nearly noon
to-day before it was all in hand at the
state department.. 1t was not the length
of the message that occupied the wires
all of that time, but the fact that it was
all in groups of figures and that it was
probably being filed in small patches as it
was turned into the complicated state de-
partment cipher in Madrid. All of this
work had to be undone at the state de-
partmeut and the message translated from
the cipher back again into good English
This occupied nearly all of the day, so
that it was $3.50 o'clock before the first
fair copy of the message was turned out
1t was not so long, in fact, there We're
little less than LOCO words in the message,
for Mr Woodford instead of cabling the
whole Of the Spanish answer to his note
had contented himself with reducing the
matter to a brief outline. The first copy
was taken at once to the President, not
being entrusted to a messenger, but being
delivered by Chief Clerk Michaels in per-
son at the white house. After due oppor-
tunity had been allowed the President to
read the message, an application was made
for a statement of it's contents or nature
This was declined by Secretary Porter
and it was said that under no circum-
stances would the correspondence be made
public before consideration by the cabi-
net
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration officials in
advance of this message of Mr.. Woodford
as to the nature of the Spanish reply, at
is evident that in neither language nor
subject matter is the communication like
" to be taken as offensive by our govern
ment It may be, it is true, regarded as
insufficient to meet the issue presented
by Mr.. Woodford in his note but officials
of the state department state that, in view
of what has already been accomplished by
the new Spanish cabinet in reforming
abuses in Cuba. in removing Weyler and
in projecting what appears to be a liberal
measure of autonomy, our government will
certainly rest, at least, until congress as
sembles, and afford the new Spanish gov
ernment a reasonable time to carry out its
plans.

Buda Pest, Oct. 27.-In the lower house
of the Hungarian parliament to-day Baron
Banny, the premier, replying to Herr
Francis Kossuth, son Of the celebrated
Hungarian patriot, who urged the govern
ment to take advantage of Austrian
chaos and try for Hungary's independ-
ence," declared that the ministry had no
intention of turning Austria's difficulties
unreasonably to the advantage of the
Hungarians
"rhe union Of the two countries" he de-
clared," must be regarded as indissoluble.
Should the Austrian constitutional system
break down--which God forbid-the Hun
garian government would be obliged to
act independently regarding the joint ques-
tions Of the customs and commercial
treaty between Austria and Hungary and
Of the charter and privileges Of the Austro-
Hungarian bank
This announcement caused a great sensa-
ton, and it is believed that Baron Banffy
spoke with the consent Of the emperor
king, and that his statement points to
the possibility Of absolutist government in
Austria.

THE rALARIA STILL ASHORE.
Life-SavinE Crew Unable to Send
Lines to Her.

Norfolk, Va, Oct 27.-The German
freight and passenger steamer Polaria
from Galveston. Oct IS, for Hamburg, via
Norfolk, which went ashore off Cape Hen
ry last night lies in practically the same
position tonight.
None of her crew or of the small num-
Der of passengers aboard her have been
landed, but the ship is resting easily and
is in no immediate danger of breaking up
The life-saving crew have been strenu-
ously endeavoring throughout the day to
get line to the stranded ship. They have
fired the Lyle gun nine times, but each
time the shot carrying the line fell short
of the ship. The heavy surf, which is be-
ing piled up by the Wild northeast gale,
has prevented their launching a boat.
Wrecking tugs were sent from this city
early in the day. and the Merritt Wrecking
Company, which has the contract to float
the Polaria got a line to her from the tug
Jones, which pulled on her unsuccessfully.
She is now lying alongside, ready to render
aid in case the steamer shows signs of
breaking up.
