SECRETARY DAYS VISITORS.
General Woodford and Many Others
nt the State Denartment

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The State T,e-
partment was alive with distinguished
diplomatic callers to-day. General Wood
ford, our late representative at Madrid
came to the department about Ii O'Clock and
awaited the return of Secretary Day from
the Cabinet meeting, when the two had a
half hour together. General Woodford I'M
doubtedly reported upon the closing phases
of the diplomatic negotiations with Spain.
though no statement was given out as to
the purposes OF the call. General Wood
ford maintained the strict reserve he has
shown since he entered the diplomatic serv-
ice, ard while greeting all interviewers
courteously, said he must decline to saw a
word While he still remains in the service
He is still technically the United States
minister TO Spain on leave of absence
About the same time the late United States
called on Assistant Secretary Cridler who
has charge of consular affairs and briefly
reported his arrival. He, too is on sixty
days leave of absence. The status of orr
Representatives to Spain after their leave
expires is considerably in doubt, as the de-
partment has not had occasion recently to
consider case of officials whose service
was terminated by war.
A number of members OF the dinlomatic
corps called on Secretary Day after his re-
turn from the Cabinet, including the British
ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote; the
Italian ambassador Baron Fava; the first
secretary of the German embassy. Baron
Speck Won Sternburg; the Chinese minister
Mr.. WI Ting Fang, and the Swedish min
lister, Mr.. Grip. The unusual number of
callers was due mainly to the return of Sec
rotary Day after an absence at Canton, o.

HOW SPAIN GETS NEWS.
Cuba Connected with London by Way
of Halifax and jamaica.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Since the war
began the Spanish government has been
cut off from it's former means Of cable COM
munication with General Blanco and the
Cuban authorities by way of the cable to
the United States and through Key West.
But it develops that a new link of cable,
connecting Halifax with Bermuda, permits
Madrid and Havana to keep in communica-
ton without touching American soil and
without a circuitous cable route around the
globe The British government had already
connected Bermuda with Jamaica, and the
latter is connected by cable with Cuba.
Now that Halifax is connected with Ber-
muda, a Madrid cablegram goes via Lon
don, Halifax, Bermuda, Jamaica and Ha-
vana, thus skirting the United States and
avoiding an inspection by United States
censors.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
South Carolina Dispensary Law Again
Raped by the Justices.

South Carolina Dispensary Law Again
Raped by the Justices.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day the South
Carolina liquor law was again made the
subject of decision which was handed
down by Justice White. The State dispen-
sary law having been amended since the re-
cert decisions holding it invalid, to-day's
decision deals with the new law. This law
attempted to eliminate the feature of the
old law discriminating against other States
in the shipment of liquor to individuals for
their own use in South Carolina, but while
this inhibition was eliminated and the
privilege restored in the new law it was
coupled with conditions of inspection which
it was claimed still amounted to discrim-
nation. The court in to-day's decision &C
cepted this view of the case, holding that
the inspection provision of the law was
tantamount to a denial of the right of in
terstate commerce and therefore antago-
nistic to the Constitution of the United
States. The court held, however, that the
portion of the law regulating the sale of
original packages within the State was
valid. The decision was rendered in the
case of Vance and Scott VS. the Vandercook
company, of California. Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Shiras and McKenna dissented
as to the portion of the opinion reversing
any part or the decision of the court be-
low. They took the position that the law
in its entirety is in violation of the Con-
stitution and that the opinion antagonistic
to 1t should be sustained. The court re-
xersed the opinion of the Circuit Court for
south Carolina in the case dealing with the
seizure of liquors shipped into South Caro-
lima by Vandercook q Co. on the ground
that the court had no jurisdiction.
Inc supreme Court in the case of T. H.
Rhodes, railroad agent at Brighton, Ia, VS..
The state of Iowa, held that the Iowa law
forbidding the sale of liquors in the State,
and making 1T crime to transport them,
was unconstitutional an interference with
interstate commerce.
