should have a memorial commensurate
with his greatness and that his last rest
ing place should be the city of his choice,
to which he was so attached in life and of
whose ties he was not forgetful even in
death. Fitting, too, is it that the great
soldier should sleep beside the noble
river on whose banks he first learned the
art of war and of which he became master
and leader without rival.
But let us not forget the glorious dis
tinction with which the metropolis
among the fair sisterhood of American
cities has honored his life and memory.
With all that riches and sculpture can do
to render the edifice worthy of the man,
upon site unsurpassed for magnificence,
has this monument been reared by New
York as u perpetual record Of his illus
trious deeds In the certainty that as
time passes, around it will assemble with
gratitude and reverence and veneration,
men OF all climes, races and hationalities.
New York holds in its keeping the
precious dust of the silent soldier; but his
achievements-wha he and his brave
comrades wrought for mankind-are in
keeping of seventy millions of American
citizens, who will guard the sacred herit-
age forever and forever more.
The vast crowd listened with keen
attention to the presidents words, and
at intervals broke into cheers when

were too far removed from the speaker

HE IS NOW In MADRID
Minister Woodford Arrives From
San Sebastian.
CENDARMES GUARDED HIS JOURNEY.
Says That His Interview with the Duke
OF Tetuan Was satisfactory, but Is
Painfully Impressed by Span
ish bitterness OF Opinion.

MADRID. Sept. 27.-The arrival Of
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The programme of the United States
has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate a 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 minister,
was OF the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness Of the press
and of public opinion has painfully i'm
pressed him. but he hopes this will soon
be allayed. as he believes his mission
favorable to Spanish interests and cam
not comprehend that Spain could reject
mediation designed to end an impover-
ishing war.
He has not named a time at which
the war must be terminated, but he
hopes. as the result of his tenders. that
it will be ended quickly. He believes
the war is inhicting incalculable losses
upon the United States and that it is
impossible to prevent the organization
of fiilibustering 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 sublieu-
tenant guarded the Southern express,
on which he was a passenger. Secret
police were posted at the station 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
saiuted 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-
mains behind. on the French frontier.
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring COM
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Barritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as a resi-
dence.
General Woodford has already en-
gagged a box at the Royal Opera House
and has purchased horses. He has
taken apartments at the Hotel Rome
but receives official visits at the lega-
ton.
