No War with Spain.

Madrid, Sept. 27.-The arrival OF

matte relations with Spain and with
drawing the United States minister
General Woodford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject further
than to say that his conference with
the Duke of Tetuan, the foreign min
lister, was of the most satisfactory
character. The unexpected bitterness
of the press and of public opinion has
been painfully impressed upon him.
but he hopes it will soon be allayed as
he believes his mission favorable to
Spanish interests and cannot compre-
bend that Spain could reject mediation
designed to end an impoverishing war.
He has not named time at which the
war must be terminated, but he hopes
as the result of his tenders that it will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
is inficting incalcuable loss upon the
United States and that it is impossible
to prevent the organization of flibus-
tering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to
protect Minister Woodford on his
journey from San Sebastian to this
city, but the trip was quite unevent-
full. A party of gendarmes, COM
nanded by sub-lieutenant, guarded
the southern express on which he was
a passenger. Secret police were posted
at the station and the perfect of police

No New Facts Developed In the sherin-s
Trial.

Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 24-Coroner
Mckee began the inquest yesterday in
to the deaths of the score of striking
miners who were shot by the posse OF
deputies at Lattimer A two hours
session WINS held, during which a score
of witnesses were examined. Nearly
all the testimony adduced was a repe-
tition of that brought out at the hear
ing of the deputies at Willesbarre.
Most of the witnesses were foreigners,
strikers, who were in the march when
halted by the deputies deadly fusilade.
The strike situation remains un
changed, except for the return to
work of those Harwood miners who
were afraid to go back yesterday.
Every colliery in the region worked
and there was not the slightest dis
order anywhere.
The question of the withdrawal of
the militia remains undetermined, but
that it will begin before the end of
the week is felt by those ,at headquar-
ters to be almost a certainty.

Chicago, Sept 27.-Mayor Harrison
said, in speaking of the threatened
strike of the employees of the City
Railway company: IF it is true that
the men were discharged because they
were active in organizing a union for
their protection, | believe that public
sentiment should support the street

declared. There is a great deal of talk
of the railroads combining in their
own interests. and | can see no reason
why the men should not have the

giving the nemes of Charles Jackson
and George Williams, have been ar
rested in this city charged with hold
ing up the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-

seven miles from this city. Engineer
Evans and Fireman Wilkes who were
on the engine, positively identified the
two men as the parties who led them
down the track after the hold-up.
While the two men arrested appear to
be veterans in their business, their
plans last night were carried out in a
very bungling manner. The sum total
of their haul was $40 in cash and a
