HOW WAR CAME ABOUT.
Spain. Offended at Ultimatum, Severed
Diplomatic Relations.


Last weeks ultimatum giving Spain
until Saturday to yield acquiescence to
our demands that she evacuate Cuba
was cabled to Minister Woodford. Al
the same time the Spanish Minister
Polo at Washington was notified and
at once demanded his passports and
left for Canada, where he says he will
remain "until Spain shows her SUI
periority over the United States" The
Spanish embassy has been turned oven
to the French ambassador.
At Madrid, before he could present
the ultimatum Minister Woodford was
notified by the Spanish minister that
diplomatic relations between the gov
ernments had been severed. His use
fulness at Madrid being therefore at an
end Woodford departed for Paris,
passing through some exciting cpl
sodes on the way. HIS train was
stoned and forcible attempt made to
prevent one of his attaches leaving
with him on the ground that the at
tache was Spanish citizen. Woodford
stood in the doorway of the car and
denied admission. The British minis
ter at Madrid will look after our mat
tiers there.
The action of Spain in dismissing
Gen. Woodford was viewed rs a hos
tile act by this government. Ii signi-
fled that the ultimatum would not be
needed by Spain and was equivalent to
refusal. The war may therefore be
said to have begun Apr. gid.

NOTICE WAR NEWS

For several days past The Trib-
une has been getting out extras
containing war news. In future
we shall not receive any news after
our regular edition goes to press
unless special arrangements are
made with our correspondent. If
the people of Florence desire late
news we are prepared to furnish
it from p. m. to a, m, but it
will have to be paid for. The
Tribune has made nothing by its
extras, so far, and cannot afford
gratuitous service. People who
want an edition at $50 or9 o clock,
with bulletins after that hour,
should call at the business Office
of this paper and indicate their
desire. A charge of % cents a
week to each subscriber would
probably insure this service.
