WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The state de-
nartment officials refuse to discuss the
most important statement made in
disnateh from Madrid Wednesday,
namely, that the countries OF Europe,
with the exception of Austria, justify
the interposition of the United States
in favor of termination of the Cuban
war.
Still. it is recalled while Mr.. Wood
ford was tarrying in an apparently
purposeless manner in London and
Paris, instead of proceeding to his post
in Spain, it leaked out that the
United States ministers at the
various European courts had been in
structed to sound the governments to
which they were accredited with
view to learning how Intervention in
favor of Cuba would be regarded. AL
though it was generally supposed at
the time that this effort would not sue
coed, there is now good reason to ac-
cept the statement in the Madrid
cable as fully warranted by the
facts. With such a lever in the hands
of Mr.. Woodford, and of its existence
the Spanish government must be aware
by this time, it is regarded as extreme
lv improbable that it would reject any
tender of our good offices made in
spirit of friendship and disinterested-
ness.
The Spanish minister, Dupuy de
LONE. remains at Lenox, and the re-
cent developments at Madrid have not
led the Spanish authorities in this
country to hasten their return to
Washington. The minister expects
to remain away for another month
or more. Senior Du Bose, first secre-
tary of the legation, has been here for
several days. He did not call at the
state department Wednesday to deliver
important dispatches as has been
stated, and the fact that he had no
vital information to communicate is
indicated by his visit through the day
to the golf links. 1t is not expected
that any answer from Spain, if for
NAL answer is made now or later,
will come through the authorities here,
but that it will be communicated to
Minister Woodford direct
The following named post Offices will
be raised from fourth to third class on
the first of October, rendering neces-
sary the appointment of a postmaster
for each of them by the president:
Newman, Cal; Blackhawk, Col; De
La Mar, Ida; Springfield, KY; Ber-
wyck, Me-; Agricultural College, Mich.
East Grand Forks and Bennville, Mimi;
Magnolia, Miss; Kenneth, Mo-; Vir-
ginia City, Mont. Glennville and Payne,
O.; East Pittsburgh and st. Clair, Pa;
Newport, Tenn; Edna, Tex; Romney,

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Ell.
| kins, of West Virginia, said Wednesday
that he wished to correct misappre.
hension that he claimed the authorship
of section % of the tariff law.
A number of his colleagues had been
interested with him in framing it, he
said, and were entitled to such credit
as the public should give it.
1.-THE movement in behalf of gdis
eliminating tariff provision will &C
steadily forward" said Mr.. Elkins
land there will be no halt until ade
quate protection is secured for oul
American shipping and against the
privileges of the Canadian railroads
The first thing L will do on the reas
sembling of congress will be to presen
bill providing for the discriminatory
duties which it had been hoped would
be secured by section % of the tariff
act. L am preparing the bill and it i
about half completed"
