General Azcrraga Made Premier of
Spain = The Cabinet, Tt Is Be-
heved, Will Not Be Modified.

London, Aug. 20.-The Daily Graphic
publishes the following dispatch from
Berlin: General Stewart L. Woodford.
the newly appointed minister to Spain
from the United States, has been in
structed by President Mckinley to as
certain the limit of neutrality of the
European countries should the United
States decide upon an offensive policy
against Spain, and he has been in COM
ntunieatiop with the various American
ambassadors on the subject.
Colonel John Hay, the American am
bassador to Great Britain, has received
no encouragement from Lord Sails
bury. NJ. Hanotau1. the French for
eign minister, has refused to discuss
the matter with Horace Porter, the
American ambassador to France. and
for some days avoided granting an au-
dience to General Woodford.
AS a last resource General Woodford
and General Porter telegraphed for
Mr.. White, who has joined them.
Mr.. White, who is the cleverest Amer
lean diplomatist in Europe, knows bet
ter than any one in President McKin-
ley's cabinet the futility of the step
now being taken. He has avoided even
mentioning it to the German govern
ment, and went to Paris resolved to do
all in his power to dissuade General
Woodford and General Porter from any
course but one of moderation toward
SDaiN.

have wood and labor. Heretofore the
timber has been cut almost exclusively
by Indians, but nearly all of them
have gone to the mines, leaving the
wood camps almost deserted.
I'VE shall send out two expeditions

Prospectors must have endurance, and

that India is still an extensive pur-
