WOODFORD IN MADRID.
The Programme of the United States
Government Does Not Contemplate
A Declaration of War if Spain Rejects Me-
diation-The Minister'S Conference With
the Duke of Tetuan, the Foreign Min
lister, Was Most Satisfactory.

MADRID, Sept. .27-The arrival Of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate declara-
ton of war if Spain rejects mediation,
but, according to report, an 'ostenta
tiOuS proclamation to the world of dis
approval of the Cuban regime by sus-
pending diplomatic relations with
Spain and withdrawing the United
States Minister"
Gen. Woodford has declined to be- in
terviewed on the subject further than
to say that his conference with the
duke of Tetuan, the foreign minister,
was of most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and of public opinion has painfully i'm
pressed him. but he hopes this will soon
be allayed, as he believes his mission ia
vorable to Spanish interests and can not
comprehend that Spain could reject
mediation designed to end an impoverz
fishing war. He has not named a time
at which the war must be terminated,
but he hopes, as the results of his ten
ders, that it will be ended quickly He
believes the war is inflicting incaIcula-
bic loss upon the United States, and
that it is impossible to prevent the or
ganization of tilibustering 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 party
OF gendarmes, commanded by a sub
lieutenant, guarded the southern ex-
press on which he was passenger
Secret police were posted at the sta
ton, 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 bow in
return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodfords fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind the French frontier.
Minister WOodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring d com
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Biarritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation can not be used as a resi-
dence. Gen. WOOdfOrd has already ell
gagged box at the Royal opera house
and has purchased horses.

said: IF it be true that the grand jury
has adjourned without finding indict-
ments | will send the attorney general

SHIPWRECKED.
Two Boats of Eight Men Each Launched
from Sinking Vessel.
One of the Boats Ran Upon a Reef Of
sophia Islands and the Occupants
Cast Ashore-Ten Months Later They
Were Picked Up by a Steamer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-The story
of the fate of the missing Norwegian
bark Seladon was confirmed Thursday
upon the arrival of the steamship
Means from Sidney.
The Seladon left Newcastle, N. S. W.,
on July Is, 1896, for Honolulu with a
full cargo of coal On the night of
August z, at 1870 O'Clock, the yes
sci struck Starbuck Island while
running at a speed of seven knots,
and Is minutes later four feet
of water was reported in the
hold and two boats were launched with
crews of eight men each. After laying
by the vessel until daylight Capt. Jeger
decided to make for Madon island,
which he reckoned to be two days sail.
Having. nothing but chart and COM
pass, however, the boats missed the is
land and attempted to make Christmas
island, but missed that also. They then
ran before the wind and for IL days
proceeded without mishap. On Au-
gust Is the gig capsized and all it's
Nelson, who was drowned, were picked
up by the other boat. Capt. Jeger
died of exhaustion on August "a, and
was buried. On the % day out, August
so, the IA men divided their last tin of
meat, five pounds, which lasted three
days. Meantime they were dependent
upon occasional showers of rain for
their water supply. For six more days
they sailed on, too weak to move, and
when all hope had been given up, their
boat ran upon the reef of Sophia Is
lands and cast them ashore.
Fortunately they were picked up by
natives, who treated them with the
utmost kindness, but the ships carpen-
ter, I. Olsen, died from the result of
his exposure few days later. After
subsisting upon cocoanuts, turtle and
sea birds for ten months and ten days,
the steamer Clyde, bound for Auckland,
was sighted and Capt. Callaghan took
the shipwrecked men to FIJI, where
they were transferred to the bark
Ellen, which conveyed them to Sydney.
