snain and tho United States.

MADRID, Sept. 22.-The correspond
emit here of the United Press learns that
the interview of Saturday last between
u. S. Minister to Spain Woodford and
the Spanish Minister Of Foreign Afairs,
the Duke of Tetuan, was merely pre-
liminary. Gen. Woodford represented
to the Duke the gravity of the condi.
ton of Cuba, and requested, on behalf
OF the United States. that Spain would
find method of speedily ending the
war and giving justice to the Cubans.
He offered the good Offices of the United
Stat, 8 in efecting settlement OF the
Cuban troubles, which practically gives
Spain an opportunity of gracefully end
ing the war. If she does not embrace it
withiH reasonable time, notice will be
given that the United States must in
terfere, though General Woodford has
not said so yet. 1t is said Spain cannot
expect the aid of European powers. as
the United States ambassadors have as
certained that all theEuropean countries
except Austria, recognize that the in
terests of the United States justify the
iatter's interference in Cuba, but it is
not likely that Austria will take any
part in the question beyond possibly
making a diplomatic protest against
the Intervention of the United States.

APPROACHING SToRM.-A dispatch
from Charleston, s. c., says the gale
which moved up the Florida coast last
night has demoralized shipping. All
the small vessels have come in and
gone up the river. The gale is ex-
pected to reach there after midnight
with velocity of sixty miles an hour.
A dispatch from Savannah, Ca, Gays:
Since 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
residents of Savannah have been in fear
OF hurricane. kilograms from the
South say that the hurricane is coming

The GREEKS DIssATIsFIED.-Ad dis
patch from Athens says public feeling
over the terms Of peace arranged by
the ambassadors of the powers has
gradually changed from stupefaction to
intense indignation. Mass meetings to
protest against the conditions imposed
upon Greece are being arranged, and
it is probable that the Boule will refuse
to accept, as it stands, article II of the
treaty; dealing with the indemnity to
be paid to Turkey. NJ. Delyannis, the
leader of the opposition, declares that
the question is so grave that only the
national assembly is competent to deal
with it. It is stated that the king is
dumbfounded by the decision of the
powers. He has hoped that his repre-
sensations and those of his relatives
would have tempered the verdict of
the concert of the powers. The meet
ing of the Boule is awaited with imps-
tent anxiety.
The rejection of the Graceo. Turkish
treaty of peace, just signed by the Sui
tan and representatives of the powers
in Constantinople, is seriously discuss
ed by the Greek government and a
ministerial crisis is probable. After
the treaty was officially communicated
to the government, Premier Ralli de-
clared: "The government cannot now
send home the reservists."

uous honeymoon but the couple lived
as happily as people in their station

alive, he said, he would prove by wit
nesses who have seen her since May
Let, and he would also prove that the
bones found in the vat were not hu.

AFortunate Klondiker.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 22.-Ex-
Sergeant of Police Haywood has re-
turned from Klondike, having probably
made a fortune faster than any other
adventures in that district. He left
here in May and, upon reaching Klon-
dixie, purchased third interest in a
claim. He owns outright another
claim and he also has other interests.
Haywood has sold his interest in one
claim for $50, 900. He intends to return
to the Klondike in the spring. He cor.
roborates the story regarding privation
at Dawson this winter, and strongly ad-
vises every one to wait until spring be-
fore going up.

All the leading bankers OF London

surprising if some international none
tary discussion were to be arranged ere
! long.
