WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The state
department officials refuse to discuss
the very important statement made in
the cable dispatch from Madrid today;
namely that the countries of Europe,
with the exception of Austria, justify
the interpoSition of the United States
in favor of a termination of the Cuban
war. Still it is recalled, that while Mr..
Woodford was tarrying in an appar-
emily purposeless manner in London
and Paris, instead of proceeding to his
post in Spain, it leaked out that the
various United States ministers at the
European courts had been instructed
to sound the governments to Whlcn
they were accredited with view to
learning how intervention in favor of
Cuba would be regarded. Although 1t
was generally supposed at the time,
that this effort would not succeed,
there is now good reason to accept the
statement in the Madrid cable as fully
warranted by the facts. With such a
lever in the hands of Mr.. Woodford-
and of it's existence the Spanish gov
ernment must be aware by this time
it is regarded as extremely improb-
able that it would reject any tender OF
our good offices, made in spirit or
friendship and disinterestedneSS.

MADRID, Sept 22.-The correspon-
dent here of the Associated Press
learns upon high authority that the
much discussed interview Of Saturday
slast, between the United States min
lister to Spain, Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, and the Spanish minister for for
eign affairs-the, Duke of Tetuan
were merely preliminary. Gen. Wood
ford represented to the duke the gray
ity Of the condition of Cuba and re-
quested in behalf of the United States
that Spain would find a method or
speedily ending the war and giving
justice to the Cubans. He offered the
good officers of the United States in
effecting a settlement of the Cuban
troubles, which practically gives Spain
an opportunity of gracefully ending
the war. If she does not embrace it
within reasonable time, notice will
be given that that United States must
interfere, though Gen. Woodford has
not said so yet.
Spain cannot expect the aid of Eu-
ropean powers, as the United States
ambassadors have ascertained that all
the European countries, except AUS
tria, recognize that the interests Of the
United States justify the latter's inter-
ference in Cuba. Austria in this mat
ter is Influenced by the relationship be-
tween the two dynasties, the queen
regent of Spain being an Austrian
archduchess, but it is not likely that
Austria will take any part in the ques-
ton beyond possibly making a diplo-
i,o+o
Of the United States.
The Correspondence de Espana as
serts that pour parlours are proceed
ing between the United States and
Spain for a friendly settlement of af-
fairs in Cuba Ell Epoca after de-
nouncing as "sensationaP' the story Of
an ultimatum, points out that the
Cubans have not been at war with
Spain without the moral and material
cooperation Of the American people.
There is a great deal of comment as
to the origin of the ultimatum canard.
1t has been attributed to a foreign am
basSador, but all the ambassadors
deny responsibility for it. The people
do not think that war is inevitable. 1t
is asserted that the Liberals will soon
form a cabinet and that on the return
of the queen from San Sebastian to
Madrid, Capt. Gen. Weyler will be re-
called and autonomy established in the
island, thus leaving no pretext for the
intervention of the United States.
Contrary to expectations confidently
entertained today, Senor Reverter,
minister of finance, has not resigned
his portfolio.
The Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs, in the
course of an interview today, denied
that the government had received an
ultimatum from the United States with
regard to Cuba, and said he had re-
ceived a cablegram from Senor de
LONE, Spanish minister to the United
States, to the same effect.

Pretended Friendship.

The Republicans have been loud
in their professions OF friendship for
Cuba. They went so far i'm their
platform of last year rs to say
" We believe that the government
OF the United States should actively
use its influence and good offices to
restore peace and give independence
to the land" Now, what has this
administration done TO advance this
policy? The President seems timid.
and if there is any difference between
his policy, with reference to Cuba,
and that pursued by Mr.. Cleveland,
the country has not been able to de-
tect it. The following little episode
in the House of Representatives re.
Gently shows how Mr.. Reed is carry
ing out the do-nothing policy of the
President:
Congressman McMillin demanded
to know whether the session of to.
day was not a continuation of the
legislative day of Monday, when the
last session was held. The Speaker
replied warily that it was, and sat
back upright in his chair, his big ears
sticking out as they do when he is
aroused, and his gavel rampant,
awaiting action.
Them" said Mr.. McMillin, as the
other members gathered around him,
- move to suspend the rules and
call up the joint resolution directing
the President to accord the rights of
belIigerents to the Cuban Republic"
Mr.. Reeds ears fell back into their
proper place and good-natured grin
shone on his mOon-like face. His
fat sides shook with mirth. The
trick was so old, and everybody
knows that the Speaker is not gong
to let the Cuban resolution get out.
He looked sarcastically at McMillin
and swept the House with his eyes
until he spied Leader Dingley.

TIE STRIKE.-The great strike
for better wages among the coal mi
ners of Western Pennsylvania, In
diana, Ohio and Illinois promises to
be ono of the most memorable wage
struggles in the history of the coun-
try. The strike has already assumed
much larger proportions than was at
first anticipated by the leaders, and
they therefore feel much elated. So
far the greatest obstacle in the way
OF the success of the strike is the ac-
tivity of the West Virginia miners,
the great majority of whom are still
at work and have shown no DISPOSE
ton to quit. a strong effort will be
made to induce them to join the
movement.
