% Madrid, Sept. 27.s The arrival Of,
United States Minister Woodford from
| San Sebastian has made q sensation
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained. This does not
s'contemplate agdeclaration Of war If
Spain Grejects mediation, but,saecord-
ing toreport; an "ostentatious" procla-
nation to the world Of ldisapproval Of
sths Cuban regime by suspending diplo-,
matte relations by withdrawing the
United States minister.
Gen. Woodford has declined to be in
tervieWed on the ssubieat further than
to say that his yconference with the
duke OF Tetuan, the foreign minister,
wasfof the most satisfactory character.
THE unexpected bitterness5of the press
and of public opinion has painful i'm
pressed him, but he hopesth will soon
be allayed, as he believes his mission
favorable to Spanish interests and can
not comprehend that Spain ould,reject
mediation designed to end an impover-
ishing war. He has not named a time
at which the war must be terminated,
but he hopes, as the result Of his ten
ders, that it will be ended quickly. He
believes the war is intlicting incalcu-
liable loss upon the United States and
that it is impossible to prevent the or
ganization. of filibustering expeditions.
Unusual measures were :taken}to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful. Aeparty of
gendarmes commanded by sublieuten-
ant guarded the Southern express, on
which he was passenger. Secret po-
lice were posted at the station and the
project of police was in waiting to es-
cort him to his hotel. The drive through
the streets was marked by no special in
cident, though several people saluted
him, receiving bow in return.
Some comment has been caused bv
the fact that Minister Woodford' fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind the French frontier. Min
lister Woodfom explains that his party
is large one, requiring commodious
home, and prefers spending a pleasant
October at. Biarritz until suitable res
tdence can be secured here. The lega-
ton cannot be used as residence. Gen.
Woodford has already engaged box
at the Royal opera house and has pur-
chased horses. .=s ::

Pesth, Emperor Francis Joseph and the

power to prevent the situation becom-
ing embittered, although unwilling to

Ssaid to- have been exchanged be-
tween France and Russia; so, if the oc-
casion arises, the European powers,
while respecting the feeling of indie
pendence of both countries, will find
themselves in agreement in insisting
that policy of Cancellation and peace
must prevail" @'-''.',' -.

Standard from Madrid says: The ru-
NOR Of Austrian mediation between
Spain and the United States in the event
OF hostilities, has created surprise min
gled with much incredulity. Spaniards
fail to see what Austria could do unless
seconded by naval powers OF, at least by
the combined pacific action of several

Washington, Sept ~ ~ Spain may ac-
ceptthe good Offices of the United States
as to Cuba after all. A member of the
administration, who is known to, have.
been in conference with officials of the
Spanish legation here, said Sunday
night there was now;at least fair pros
pect that Spain would accept our tender
Of help. At the time Minister Wood
ford was sent to Madrid twas believed
by the state department that Spain
would reject our offer. Now the pre-
vailing belief is that Spain will accept,
it not fully, at least sufficiently to- at
ford basis for futuresnegotiations. j
