RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
Reported That the United States VIII Not
Rush Into War.

Madrid, Sept. 26.-The arrival Of
United States Minister WOOdford from
San Sebastian has made sensation.
The program of the United States has
been ascertained.
This does not contemplate declara-
tlon Of war IL Spain rejects mediation,
but, according to report, an 'os;enta-
tiOus proclamation to the world of dis
approval Of the Cuban regime. by sus-
pending diplomatic relations with Spain
and Withdrawing the United States min
ister'"
General WoOdfOrd has declined to be
interviewed on the subject, further
than to say that his conference with
the Duke of Tetuan, the foreign minis
ter. was of the most satisfactory char
acter. The unexpected bitterness Of
the press and of public opinion has
been painfully impressed upon him,
but he hopes this will soon be allayed,
as he believes his mission favorable
to Spanish interests and cannot COM
prehend that Spain could reject media
tion assigned to end an impoverish-
ing war.
He has not named time Mt which
the war must be terminated, but he
1t will be ended quickly. He believes
the war is inflicting lncnlculnble loss
upon the United States and that 1t is
impossible to prevent the organization
of iillbustering expeditions.
Unusual measures We're taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister WoodfOrd's fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind the French frontier. Min
lister Woodford explains that his party
Is large one. requiring n commodious
home, and prefers spending pleasant
October at Biarritz until suitable res
idence can be secured here. The lega-
tiOn cannot be used as n residence.
General Woodford has already en-
gagged n box mt the Royal opera house
and has purchased horses.

fessional packers who have been mt
work for some time are sick from eX-
posure and overwork. The course of
the avalanche was not over 200 feet
wide in any place and only those who
had not selected ordinary camping
were injured, but many who We're
camping only temporarily lost their all.
Persons who started on; from Skag-

the winter on the trail. in many eases
occupying the same tents with their
horses.

MICHAEL LED ALL THE WAY.
Wonderful Time Made In tho Internation-
vi Ihirty-Three Mile Race.


Now York, Sept 27.-Cyc.e racing in
this vicinity was wound up for the
season yesterday afternoon ut Man
lraptun Beach with rattling interna-
tional match race of SO miles between
Jimmy Michael. the Welsh champion,
and Lucien Lesna, the Swiss rider,
who holds the French middle-distance
record. The attendance was 14,OOO.
There were Il number of races of minor
importance.
Michael had for pacemakers, four
Quads, one quint and two seXtuplets.
and Lesna had five of the largest ma
chimes aud one quad. The We.shman
had the advantage of having the best
pacemaklng machines, and decidedly
the best pacemakers. Lesna's seXtu-
plets seemed to be too unwieldly for
fast pacing, as the result shows. When
the contestants lined up the little
Welshman looked a pigmy In cOmpari-
son with his Swiss opponent, but each
of them was trained to the hour md
bOth looked tit to race for Il mans life.
At the crack of the pistol Michael
jumped of In the lead and got the
pole. right behind his quint, which, af-
ter the first lap retired in favor of Il
quad. From start to finish the race
was procession, as Michael led all
the way. At the end Of the first mile
the "Welsh Rarebit" was 100 yards
ahead. and he steadily Increased his
lead throughout the race. Lesna seemed
to lose his pacemakers frequently,
while Michael had no trouble in fol-
lowing Ills. Both riders strained every
muscle to gain an advantage, and al
though It was n foregOne conclusion
early in the race that Michael would
win, barring accidents. Lcsna never let
up, and stuck manfuliy to his task.
At the end OF the hour Michael had
covered 81 miles and 1.40O yards, which
is ahead of the worlds one-hour COM
petitive record of 80 miles and GOO
yards. held by Stocks. and the Ameri-
can record. 30 miles and 293 % yards,
held by Michael himself.
The thirty-thlrd and last mile was

that the movement OF ore from the up
per lake mines this year will beat all
records. II Is now estimated that nj
lens, 13.000.0OO tons will bc marketed
this season. and next spring is likely to
find NIL the docks clear. That would
be unprecedented. Last year the stocks
In the spring amounted TO 3,OO0.OO
tons. Ninety-five per cent. Of the allot
ment OF the Ore Association has nj
ready been sold and prices show q
buoyancy under the heavy sales. II
is believed the ore pool which existed
prior to last spring will be reorganized
