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 family has
not accompanied him, but remains be-
hind in the French frontier. Minister
Woodford explains that his party is
large one, requiring commodious home,
and prefers spending pleasant October
at Biarritz until suitable residence can
be secured here. The legation can not
be used as a residence.
General Woodford has already engaged
a box at the Royal opera house and has
purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but receives
official visits at the legation, where he

Spain in giving up her western lands
had made some pretty good deals. 9th
ers were not so good. The outcome of
the Cuban war will tell whether she
has profited by the Cuban struggle. If
she gets it absolutely back it will be
hers forever TO hold in state of mental
subjection-to punish and starve for
generations to come. But If she parts
with it and makes it self-governing, she
will not get the tribute from it which
the island needs to pay its own debts.
SPANS first loss, in the early part of
the century, was the great district call
ing itself Louisiana. Spain had got
Louisiana in 1862 from the French,
who originally discovered 1t. But when
Napoleon became Consul he got Louisi-
ana back, and the big New Orleans
territory" and held them secure. This
embraced all the southern and middle
portions of the United States, and was
the largest and richest piece of land
then known.
The United States got it from the
French in 1903 by paying $15,OOOOoO,
and it is said that the Spanish have
never ceased to mourn that they could
not have held it until this purchase,
which would have enriched their then
diminished Golfers greatly.
Spain's next loss was Mexico, by con-
ouest. in 1918. On that date Mexico de-
clared herself free. And then began

TASK FOR WOODFORD
PROGRAM OF UNITED STATES AS
TO CUBA is KNOWN.
American Minister Guarded by Se-
cret Police on the Route to
Spain's Capital.

Madrid, Sept. 27.-The arrival of Unit.
ed States Minister Woodford from San
Sebastian has caused sensation. The
program of the United States has been
ascertained. This does not contemplate
a declaration of war if Spain rejects
mediation, but according to report an
DESTINATIONS proclamation to the world
of disapproval of the Cuban regime" by
suspending diplomatic 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 minister, was of
the most satisfactory character. The I'M
expected bitterness of the press and of
public opinion him, but he hopes it will
be soon allayed, as he believes his mis-
sion favorable to Spanish interests, and
can not comprehend that Spain should
reject mediation designed to end an i'm
war. He has not named a
time at which the war must be termin-
ated, but he hopes, as the result of the
tenders, that it will be ended quickly.
He believes theh war is inflicting incalcu-
liable loss upon 1.-THE United States, and
that it is impossible to prevent the or
ganization of filibustering expeditions.
Guarded by Police.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
bect Minister Woodford ON his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful. A party of

cans will try to stave off action indefi-

them further opportunities to fool the

appoint delegates to any international
money conference that may be called, or
to call one himself if he thinks it Judi
cious to do so.
This means of course, the expendi-
ture of another nice sum for salaries for
a number of eminent and high priced
lawyers and financieIs for doing over
again what has been done thrice before
without securing any practical results.
