General Woodford has declined TO be
interviewed on the subject, further
than to say that his conference with
the Duke Of Te,uan, the foreign minis
ter. was Of the most satisfactory char
acter. The unexpected bitterness Of
the press and OF public opinion has
been painfully Impressed upon him.
but he hopes this will soon be allayed.
as he believes his mission favorable
to Spanish interests and cannot COM
prehend that Spain could reject media
ton assigned to end an impOverish-
ing war.
He has not named time at which
the war must he terminated, hut he
hopes. as the result Of his tenders that
1t will be ended quickly. He believes
the war liz infiicting incalculab'e loss
upon the United States and that It Is
impossible to prevent the organization
Of 6libustering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister WoodfOrd on his journey
from Fan Sebastian to this city. but the
trip was quite uneventful.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister WOodford's fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind the French frontier. Min
lister Woodford explains that his party
is large one. requiring IA commOdious
home. and prefers spending a pleasant
