TO RECALL GEN. W00DFORD
LATEST REPORT CONCERNING OUR
RELATIONS WITH SPIN.

Arrival of United States Minister from San
Sebastian Made n Sensation-He Says
His Conference With the Duke of Tetuan
Was Entirely ySatisfactory--Police Guard
General Woodford's Train.
Madrid, Sept. 26.-The arrival of Uni
ted States Minister Woodford from San
Sebastian has made a sensation. The
programme of the United States has
been ascertained
This does not contemplate declara-
tion 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
General Woodford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject further
than to say that his conference with
the Duke of Tetuan the foreign minis
ter, was of most satisfactory charac-
ter. The unexpected bitterness of the
press and of public opinion has pain
fully impressed him; but he hopes this
will soon be allayed, as he believes his
mission favorable to Spanish interests
and cannot comprehend that Spain
could reject mediation designed to end
an impoverishing war.
He has not named a time at which
the war must be terminated, but he
hopes. as the result of his tenders, that

the war is inf1icting incalculable losses
upon the United States and that it is
impossible to prevent 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
lieutenant guarded the southern eX-
press on which he was passenger.
Secret police We're posted at the sta
tion, and the prefect 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.
main behind on the French frontier
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring com
modious home, and they prefer spend
ing a pleasant October at Biarritz un
til suitable residence can be secured
here. The legation cannot be used a:
a residence General Woodford has al
ready engaged a box at the Royal Op
era House and has purchased horses
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but receives
Official visits at the legation, where hi
passes the entire morning.
London, Sept. PA dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says:
"The rumor of Austrian mediation
between Spain and the United States
in the event of hostilities has created
surprise, mingled with increduhty
'Spanards fail to see what Austria
could do unless seconded by naval pow
ers at least by the combined pacific ac-
ton of several governments"

ATHLETES HAVEPROSPERED
Encouraging Reports Made at Co.
Iumbia Clubs Annual Meeting.
The Board Of Governors May Soon
Have TO Increase Member
ship to 500.

The annual meeting Of the Columbia
Athletic Club was held in the gymnasium
ofthe clubhouse last night, and was largely
attended. Reports Of the various officers
were presented, and they showed that
tie club has made steady gains during the
past few months. The treasurer's $ report
was particularly satisfactory, as it demon
strated that the financial condition of the
organization is most satisfactory.
The year opened with rather poor pros
spects, and owing to the financial de-
preston, the roll of members was greatly
reduced. About July /, however, there
was a revival of interest in the club, and
it became necessary to increase the men,
bership from 500 to 600. AT the same
time the board of governors was en-
powered to raise it TO 500 whenever it
was thought advisable. The 600 limit
has now been reached, and as there arc
q number of applications in the hands of
the secretary, there is every prospect that
the board viii have to exercise its au
thoriby within a short time.
The treasurer's report further shows
that the club financially is in better SHAPE
than il has been for several years past.
The year, from an athletic standpoint
las not been very active, still the clui
has made a good showing along this line
Considerable interest has been develore
during the year in whist and bowling, and

, what the vessel struck. He states the ship
was safe distance from the Governors
Island shore and sailing to the westward
on q line with Castle William and the barge
office at the battery.
The Governors Island shore is noted for
