fairs was HEREBY PrelIminary-What Is
Expected.
MADRID, Sept. 22.-The correspond
ent here OF the Associated Press learns
upon high authority that the much dis
cussed interview OF Saturday last be-
tween the United States minister to
Spain, General Stewart l.. Wondford,
and the Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs, the Duke Of Tetuan, were merely
preliminary.
General Woodford represented to the
duke the gravity of the condition of
Cuba and requested. In behalf Of the
United States, that Spain would find a
method OF speedily ending the war and
giving justice to the Cubans, He
offered the good offices OF the United
States in effectlng a settlement Of the
Cuban troubles, which practically gives
Spain an opportunity OF gracefully end
ing the war. II she does not embrace II
within reasonable time notice will be
given that the United States must inter-
fere, though General Woodford has not
said so yet.
Spain cannot expect the aid Of Euro
pean powers. as the United States am
bassadors have aacertained that all the
European countries, except Austria, rec
ognize that the interests OF the United
States Justify the latter's interference In
Cuba. Austria In this matter Is innu-
enced by the relationship of the two dy4
nastles, the queen regent of Spain being
an Austrian archduchess; but II is not
likely that Austria will take any part in
the question beyond possibly making a
diplomatic protest against the intervene
ton of the United States.
