Policy of the Mckinley
Administration.
TBy Gable to The Associated Press,l

<1SsOSidtC4
MADRID, Sept. %, 1s97.-The correspon-
dent here of the Associated Press learns
upon high authority that the much dis
cussed interview of Saturday last be-
tween the United States Minister to Spain
General Stewart l.. Woodford and the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, the
Duke of Teutuan, was merely prelimin-
ary. General Woodford represented to
the Duke the gravity of the condition of
Cuba and requested in behalf of the
United States that Spain would find a
method of speedily ending the war and
giving justice to the Cubans.
He offered the good offices of the Unit
ed States in effecting a settlement of the
Cuban troubles, which practically gives
Spain an opportunity of gracefully ending
the war. If she does not embrace it
within a reasonable time, notice will be
given that the United States must inter-
fere, though General Woodford has not
said SO yet.
Spain cannet expect the aid of European
powers, as the United States Ambas-
sadors have ascertained that all the Euro
pean countries, except Austria, recognize
that the interests of the United States
justify the latter's interference in Cuba.
Austria, in this matter, is Influenced
by the relationship between the two dy-
nasties, the Queen Regent of Spain being
an Austrian ArchducEess, but it is not
likely that Austria will take any part IN
the question beyond possibly making a
diplomatic protest against the lnterYen-
ton of the United States.
