WAsHISGToS. Sept 23.-Thc state de-
partment officials refuse TO discuss the
most important statement made in "A
dispatch from Madrid Wednesday
| namely. that the countries of Europe
with the exception of Austria, Justify
the interposition of .he United States
in favor OF "A termination OF the Cuban
war.
Still. il il recalled while Dir. Wood
ford was tarrying in an apparently
purposeless manner in London and
Paris, instead of proceeding to his post
in Spain, il leaked out that the
United States ministers at the
various European courts had been in
structed to sound the governments TO
which they were accredited with a
view To learning how intervention in

~ improbable that it would reject any
tender of our good offices made in IL

cent developments at Madrid have not
led the Spanish authorities in this
country to hasten their return To

several days. lie did not call at the
state department. Wednesday to deliver
important dispatches as has been
stated. and the fact that he had no
vital information to communicate is
indicated by his visit through the day
to the golf links. 1t is not expected
that any answer from Spain if for
NAL answer is made now or later,
will come through the authorities here,
but that IL will bc communicated to
