W~ASHISGToS. Feb S.-prcmier Sn.
gasta has declined the third offer OF
friendly mediation OF the part of the
United States. This information was
conveyed in n cipher message received
from Minister Woodford b. President
Mckinley on Friday.
The message was n most unusual
one. Instead OF being addressed to
the Secretary of State, it was addressed
to the President, thing which has
not happened since Consul General
Lees famous cablegrams to President
Cleveland OF ncar.y n year ago
This cablcgram from Woodford was
not long. but rccitcd the fact that
Premier Sagasta refused to admit that
Spain had reached the end OF her
rope in Cuba; that she was unable to
suppress the instruction: that auton-
omy was n failure; or that she needed
the assistance of the United States in
bringing the Cuban struggle to an
end.
LONDON, Feb s.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says:
'Senor Sagasta's response to the of
fetal note presented Saturday by
General Woodford, the United States
minister, complains of flibustcring
expeditions, and declares that Spain
cannot entertain the suggestion for
fixing a date for the completion OF the
p~acifcation of Cuba.
''Pessimistic expressions are now
current regarding the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States
and have depressed the Madrid and
Barcelona bourses. Public feeling
