UNCLE
SAMUEL
Creates a Sensation at the
Spanish Capitol.
u. S. MINISTER W00DFORD
Arrives In Hadrid and the Spanish
Newspapers are Guessing What
the Result viii Be.
U. S. MINISTER WOODFORD

MADRID, Sept. 27.-The arrival of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The program of the United States has
been ascertained. This does not con-
template a declaration of war if Spain
rejects mediation, but, according to
report, an OBSERVATIONS proclamation
to the world of disapproval of the Gu
ban regime by suspending diplomatio
relations with Spain and withdrawing
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 char
Acter. The unexpected bitterness of
the press and of public opinion has
painfully impressed him, but he hopes
this will soon be allayed, as he believes
his mission favorable to Spanish inter-
ests and can not comprehend 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 re-
suit of his tenders that it will be ended
quickly. He believes the war is inflict-
ing incalculable loss upon the United
States and that it is impossible to pre-
vent the organization of filibustering
expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city but the
trip was quite uneventful A party of
gendarmes, commanded by sub-lieu-
tenant, guarded the Southern express
on which he was a passenger. Secret
police were posted at the station, and
the project of police was in waiting to
escort him to his hotel. The drive
through the streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving a bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind the French frontier.
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring com.
modious home, and prefers spending q
pleasant October at Bia-ritz until
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation can not be used as a resi-.
dence General WOodford has already
engaged box at the royal opera house.

AFFAIRS AT HAzLEToN.
Miners Nearly All Back, but Are Organ

miners Nearly All BACK, but Are Orgap-
king For Another Strike.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. 27.-Nothing
new developed yesterday in the strike
regioif and the day passed quietly.
Nearly all the collieries have resumed.
General Goblin and his staff rode to
Audenried in the afternoon and in the
evening the Ninth regiment gave a
dress parade 1t is announced at head
quarters that the Fourth regiment is to
be withdrawn tomorrow. The Fourth
is stationed at Drifton. A conference
will be held tomorrow to decide on the
withdrawal of other troops.
A meeting of miners was held at
Freeland yesterday at which several
prominent labor leaders, including Gen.
eral Organizer Fahey of the United
Mine Workers, were present. The
meeting was held behind closed doors
and nothing was given out. 1t is
known, however, that the miners are
being more thoroughly organized. SO
that in the event of another strike they
will have leader and organization.
A gang of toughs broke into Squire
Robinson's Office at Audenried and de.
molished considerable furniture. Later,
the residence Of Mine Superintendent
Conner Jones was stoned. Robinson
refused to issue a warrant for Foreman
Jones' arrest several weeks ago, and
this is supposed to be the cause of the
raid made ON his Office.
