ported to the state department the fact
that he had a conference with the Duke
of Tetuan yesterday in Madrid. Al
though no Information respecting the

the great injuries commerce and In
dustry had suffered In the United States
through the prolongatlon OF the Cuban
war.
General woodford is said to have add
ed that Secretary Sherman had desired
him to declare to the Spanish govern
ment that 1t was evidently impossible
for Spain to end the rebellion in n rea-
sonable time and further, that II the
war was continued Cuba would be de-
vastated and of no utility to Spain or to
the Cubans.
In conclusion. the United States min
lister is reported to have insisted cour-
teously but firmly, upon the necessity OF
terminating the war, declaring that II It
was not terminated by the end OF oc-
tober the'United States would feel JUS
titled in taking measures to secure the
independence of Cuba.
