spain's Reply to Woodford Not CAL
culatcd to Breed nm Issue.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The Spanish re-
ply to Minister Woodford's note con-
corning Cuba has been talked of in
formally between the president and
several of the cabinet ministers, and it
may be stated positively that the adj
ministration regards the note, so far
as it's tenor is revealed by the abstract
cabled by Mr.. Woodford, as being con-
ciliatory, and not calculated to breed
an issue. It can also be stated that
qualification is felt that the answer was
forthcoming within so short period of
time after delivery of Mr.. Woodford's
note, having regard to the Intervention
Of the Spanish crisis and change. The
acts already performed by the new cab
met toward a correction of some of the
evils of which we complain in Cuba are
regarded as an earnest of the intention
of the Spanish government to faithfully
carry out the entire reform programme.
and if there should be speedy al
deviation of the frightful condition of
the unfortunate reconcentradoes in Gu
ba through a prompt revocation of
Weyler's concentration order it is felt
that our government will have little fur
Their to ask.

NEW YORK, April 28.-In an inter.

in reply to ex.President Cleveland s
criticism at the Reform Club dinner

party won the late election on it's dec.

not on the tariff issue, said:
"The fact is, the Republican party
won on both issues. Nothing could be
clearer than that the pledges of the

sufficient revenue to carry on the gov.
ernment without borrowing in time OF
peace.

he holds responsible for all that has

any real battle at Matt; says the Greek
troops were never defeated at that
point, and attributed the sudden decis.
ion to abandon Tyrnavo and Larissa to
the cowardice and incapacity of the
