been the cause of the activity at Eli-
ropean capitals within the last few days
in connection with Spanish-American af-
ffs irs. UP 10 the present time, however,
no actual step toward mediation or IN
terventi0n has been taken by any of the
great powers, although there Is
slightest doubt that France stands ready
to take the initiative if there is the slight
est evidence that the United States gov
ernment will view such move with
favor.
A tender of good offices is one OF the
last resorts. of diplomacy, when all other
means of ayerting war seem TO be at
an end. There is additional difficulty
from the fact that when two nations
are involved in a crisis any external in
fiuence may be resented ais an intrusion.
There is reason to believe that the
French authorities are fully conscious
of these delicate and difficult phases, and
that no step will be made unless it is
clearly apparent i'm advance that the
United States desires the friendly of
fees of other nations.
EUROPE HOLDS AL,OOF.
The Spanish government has earnestly
hoped within the last week that some
of the European powers. and more like
ly Austria or France, would take the
initiative without waiting TO consult the
desires of this government This hope
has proved vain, however, and it is sta
ted to-day on high authority that re-
cent negotiations in Europe have dis
closed positively that while the sym
pathy Of some Of the continental powers
was toward Spain, no one OF them stood
ready TO espouse her causc. by mediation
or by arms
The greatest secrecy prevails in many
Of the bureaus OF the War and Navy
Departments in regard to the various
projects of defence and naval move
ments now going on and the officials IN
many cases positively refuse to make
public steps that have been determined
upon.
The most notable instance of this kinl
probably is in the Navy Department
where Captain Crowninshield, of the
Bureau of Navigation has issued an or
der forbidding subordinates to make
public any information except on permis.
sion from himself.

held two sessions to-day and adjourned
few minutes before 5 O'Clock without
reaching an agreement
Commander Bradford, of the Bureau
of Equipment, was before the commit

nayies of the United States and Spain,
and also advocating the purchase OF the
island of Sit. Thomas, of tae Danish
West Indies, as a naval station.
Another development IN the commit
tee was an agreement to postpone the
completion of the committees work OH
the Cuban situation for a few days in
order to afford time to the President
TO continue his diplomatic negotiations
with the Spanish authorities This
concession was the result of request
made direct to members OF the com.

granted by the entire committee without
any murmur of dissent.

Woodford's Efforts for Peace.

Madrid, March 30 While the situa-
ton here is Outward1y of the calmest
description, the actual position OF af-

the United States Legation and the
Spanish government.
The United States Minister, General
Stewart l.. Woodford, is working en-
ergetically and will continue to do so for
Spain's peace until the first gun is fired.
1t is known that the Spanish govern
ment admits the dcsirability. or neces-
sity, of complying with the demands of
tae United State and it is only in the
disinclination of the Ministers to put
this willingness into concrete form that
the danger lies. If conference We're

French diplomats. the matter would be
settled without question
