NEW YORK POLITICS
Numerous Conferences Held Bring
Verv Little Result

NEW YORK, Sept. ga conference
Of the Republican leaders Of Greater New
York was held today. The conference
discussed the arrangement OF details
for Tuesdays convention and the avail
ability Of candidates for comptroller and
president of the council No action of a
decisive character was taken. A talk
with several Of the conferees gave the
impression that General Tracy's name
will not be presented to the convention
on Tuesday. In fact If the very earnest
declarations Of some well known and in :
spired statesmen are worth anything at
all, the chances of a compromise with
the Citizens union on lines not yet
clearly outlined are very good indeed.
The other candidates spoken of are
Ashbell P. Fitz, to be renominated for
comptroller; r. Ross Appleton of Brook
lyn for president Of the council, and
probably Thomas L. Hamilton for Sher-
If.
The United German-American socie-
ties Of Greater New York held confer
ence today. There were 25O delegates
present, representing 120 German organi-
cations claiming to have a total mem
bership of 175,200 voters. Resolutions
to nominate William Sohmer Of the con-
solidated city, and. pledging the party
10000 votes An effort to endorse the
Chicago platform at the conference was
voted down.
The Brooklyn Eagle today publishes
the statement that there was positive
authority for saying that Seth Low had
declared terms by which he would with
draw in favor Of the Republican nomi
nee for mayor. Tonight Mr.. Low, in
answer to direct question, wrote this
reply:
1.-THE statement in the Eagle was made
without authority from me, and repre-
sents me in an attitude 1 have never
taken. The reporter unwittingly at
tributed to me what he could as we'll
have attributed to himself"
The article did not attribute any.state-
ment to Mr. Low. 1t said. however, that
Chairman Reynolds OF the Citizens
union had verified the report and that
such terms had been made. He could
not be seen tonight.

first opportunity to push on toward the
point I wish to reach. Then the second

place where the Greedy expedition made
their camp, and although it was August

began to dig around and picked up sew

And His Coming Causes q
Sensation
PUBLIC OPINION is BITTER
BUT THE MINISTER HOPES TO
SUCCEED
A Program Is Unofdcially Given Out,
Which Woodford Declines to
Confirm or Deny

Associated Press Special Wire.
MADRID. Sept 2s-The arrival Of
United States Minister Woodford' from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The program of the United States has
been ascertain4ed. This does not con-
template declaration Of war If Spain
rejects mediation, but according to re-
port, an Destinations proclamation to
the world of disapproval of the Cuban
regime by suspending diplomatic rela-
tions with Spain and Withdrawing the
United States minister's"
General Woodford has declined to bs
interviewed on the subject further than
to say his conference with the duke of
Tetuan, the foreign minister, was Of the
most satisfactory character. The un-
expected bitterness Of the press and OF
public opinion has been painfully i'm
pressed upon him, but he hopes this will
soon be allayed, as he believes his mis-
sion favorable to Spanish interests and
cannot comprehend that Spain would
reject mediation designed to end an
impoverishing war He has not named a
time at which the war must be terminate
ed, but hopes, as the result of his ten
ders, that it will be ended quickly.
He believes the war is doing incalcul.
able harm to the United States, and that
it is impossible to prevent the organiza-
tion 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 a sub-lleu-
tenant guarded the southern express.
on which he was passenger.
Secret police were posted at the sta
ton and the pl eject 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 bow in
return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family
has not accompanied him, but remains
behind the French frontier. Minister
Woodford explains that his party Is a
large one, requiring commodious home,
and prefers spending a pleasant Octo-
ber at Biarritz until suitable residence
can be secured here. The legation can
not be used as residence.
! General Woodford has already en-
gagged box at the Royal opera house
and has purchased horses. He has TAX
en- apartments at the Hotel Rome, but
receives official visits at the legation,
where he passed the entire morning.
The declaration Is made here that ths
Spanish troops in Cuba have recaptur-
ed Victoria de las Lunas, which was
taken by the insurgents on September
5th.
Captain General Weyler has cabled
the government a request to send lib

MORE MEDIATION
LONDON, Sept. Pa dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says:
| The rumor of Austrian mediation be-
tween Spain and, the United States in
the event of hostilities has created sur
prise, mingled with incredulity. The
Spaniards fail to see what Austria could
DO unless seconded by naval powers or
at least by the combined pacific action Of
