second task Is TO prepare the Spanish gov

The third phase Of his work Is the presen-

II is as to the first and second chapters
that Gen. Woodford is now comforting
with the president. He will receive full
instructions as TO the third either before
he sails or as soon as he shall have had
an opportunity to report upon the state of
mind in which he finds the Spanish min
isiry and the queen regent.
PRESIDENT Mckinley also Instructed Gen.
Woodford TO impress upon the public men
at Madrid these three vital points:
j. The United States Is not actuated by
any unfriendly feeling towards Spain,
2. The United States does not desire to
take advantage of Spain's troubles with
her colony to bring about the annexation
of Cuba to this country.
3. But unless Spain will herself make a
move toward meeting the Inevitable and
giving Cuba freedom. the United States
will be compelled TO interfere, and in the
case of intervention annexation might
naturally follow.
