Programme of Uncle Sam AC-
cording to Latest Report
From Madrid.
War Must End by a Specified
Time or Woodford Will
Be Recalled.
Unusual Measures Taken to
Protect Him on the Trip
to Madrid.

MADRID, Sept. 27.-The arrival Of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has caused a sensation.
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained. This does not
contemplate a declaration of war If
Spain rejects mediation, but, according
to report, an "ostentatious" proclama-
ton 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 inter-
viewed 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
Bitterness of Press and Pubic
has painfully impressed him, but he
hopes this will soon be allayed, as he
believes his mission favorable to Span
ish interests and cannot comprehend
that Spain could reject mediation de-
signed to end an impoverishing war
war ust be terminated, but he hopes,
as the result of his tenders, that it will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
is incalculable loss upon the United
States and that it is impossible to pre-
vent the organization of flibustering
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 a
sub-lieutenant, guarded the Southern
express on which he was passenger.
Secret Police Were at the Station,
and the project of police was 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 Woodford's family
did not accompany him, but remained
behind the French frontier. General
Woodford explained that his party was
a large one, requiring a large home.
The legation cannot be used as resi-
dence. 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 received
official visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning.

THE BADENl-WOLFF DUEL,
Austrian Premier's Wound Not Consid-

cred Serious.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-The Vienna cor
respondent of The Daily Mail says: The
duel between Count Badeni, the Aus
trian premier, and DR.. Wolff, the Ger
man Nationalist leader, has caused the
widest sensation. 1t arose out of the
riotous scenes at the opening of the
reichrath. The combatants met at the
military riding school. Count Badeni's
seconds were Marshal Uekull- Gyllen-
band, commanding the Vienna garri-
son, and Colonel Rosch, former ad-
jutant of the emperor. DR.. VOLTS Sec
onds were two German deputies. The
conditions of the duel were three shots
at % PAGES. At the first discharge the
premier's ball struck the ground Is
PAGES from his antagonist. The latter's
ball struck Count Badeni in the right
arm. He staggered back to his chair
and was then taken to his home, where
the bullet was extracted. There are no
symptoms of fever, and Count Badeni
is conducting affairs as usual.

Prominent Insurgent Officer Said to Be in

HAVANA, Sept. 27.-Colonel Balda-
nero Acosta, one of the most active in
surgent leaders operating in the neigh
borhood of Havana city, was captured
by the Spanish authorities on board the
steamer Concho as he was about to sail
for Mexico.
Colonel Acosta was i'll and came into
Havana a couple of days ago. He went
aboard in disguise, but just before the
departure of the steamer the authori-
ties got wind of his identity and ar
rested him. He was the leader who
only short time ago raided the city of
Mariana, carrying off a large quantity
of arms and ammunition.

Warning Against Influenza.

LONDON, Sept. 81. The medical press
warns the public against probable re-
currence of influenza. For months past
that disease has been raging in severe
form in the district of Merry, Turke-
stan. The number of victims is i'm
mense, and although there are fewer
deaths than formerly, the virulence of
the epipemic is said to have increased
rather than lessened. The latest reports
show that the attack of influenza leaves
severe results, such as heart affections,
paralysis, etc.

Exactly so. The latter affects their

Many People Perish.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 27.-A dis
patch from Ufa, capital of the depart
meut of Ufa, in Southern Russia, says
that the steamer Admiral Gervais, with
200 passengers, while lying off the
town, took fire while all were asleep.
A terrible panic ensued owing to the
fact that before the passengers could
disembark the steamer moved into mid
stream in order not to endanger neigh
boring vessels.
Many passengers jumped overheard
to escape the flames. Some were res
cued, but many were drowned. The
total number of victims has not yet
been ascertained.

Union ounty Fair.

The weather was perfect, the crowd
in attendance good, the races fair, but
the less said about the exhibits the
better. They were not there. Situat-
ed in the very garden of the gods,
with more material with which to
make a creditable Fair than any other
county in the state probably, neverthe-
less it has to be recorded that the
eleventh annual exhibition of the
Union County Agricultural Society
was not an exhibition. The little that
was displayed was good enough to
show what Union county could do If
she tried, but for some reason unknown
to the writer she didn't try.
True it's tits pity,
Pity tits it's true.
The reason for this we do not know.
We have heard it said that people
would not cooperate because the fair
had all run into a horse race. The
management this year made an honest
and careful effort to get the farmers OF
the county interested in making their
best exhibition Of stock and agricul-
tural products, but of no avail. Con.
sequently we have seen the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Again,
it is said that the Association doesn't
pay, but this year the management did
pay, and paid every dollar, and even
paid some of the deficit OF former
years. Not only that, but they even
secured in advance the guarantee of
the County Commissioners that prem
iums should be paid, and then were
not able to pay them because there
were no entries meeting the conditions.
1t is really humiliating to be obliged to
make these statements, but these are
the plain though disc0uraging facts.
What do the farmers want in this
matter? Certainly not no fair at all,
with such creditable exhibitions of
farm, dairy and stock products as our
neighbors on every side are giving.
Why is not the idea that Secy. Sim
mons tried 10 work this year-that of
having township exhibits in competition
for q good premium-as good plan az
any? Who has better idea? Our
columns are open to anyone who has
any suggestions to offer. Don't criti'
