A SHOW OF YIELDING

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: Had the
reply been favorable. all Washington would
soon have known 1t. Sagasta wants more
time. The statement Is made that only the
cortes can make concessions of territory.
The receipt Of Minister Woodford's mes
sage has not changed hereituation. Evi,
IDENTIFY Spain has tried to make show
of yielding. She has not m4de firmal re-
quest for more. Ame. but shk is going to do
so.
Senator ,Hanna, when asked If it was
peace or war, replied that he \iid not know.
The message from Gen. Woodford, which
is very long one, was not entirely trans
lated. While he did not give SPANS final
reply to our proposition, it contains the
general opinion of Minister Woo0iord on
the whole situation, gathered from talks
he has had with members of the cabinet,
as well as from communications which
have passed between him and the council
A special dispatch from Washington to
the World (time, a. m.) gives the following
outline of SPANS reply to the note pre-
scented by Minister Woodford
Spain neither accedes to nor declines
President McKinley's propositions.
DIS udheS d COMMENCEMENT tnat
Spain should herself be allowed to propose
terms as to what should be done regarding
her own territory, rather than that the
United States should do So"
A special to the Journal and Advertiser
from Washington says: It is extremely
unlikely that Sagasta will make defiant
reply. He is almost certain to suggest
further delay. on the ground that the cortes
does not meet until April 25th, and that q
definite reply is for that reason impossible.
Should this expectation be realized, 1t
seems incredible that the president will at
tempt to defer congressional action.

Hsyt for the brutal treatment he received at Cape
Haytien nearly nine years ago. IS at last approach
ing settlement. The State Department has been
pursuing an aggressive but dignifed policy regard

succeeded In impressing the Haytan Government
with the necessity of avoiding any further delay

djted Haytian realization OF the patience displayed
by the United States in matters of this kind. and

been suddenly reversed.

-Four astroogists. three reporters. two specta-
tors and Maltese cat attended a meeting at No
l53 Broadway last night, called for the purpose
OF organizing an astrological society. Mr.. Pach,
described the benefits which would accrue from
organizing the society. He then nominated Pro
lessor Theodore Backy for president and Mrs f.

Miss Belle eager, seconded the nominations. and
the candidates were unanimously elected
Mr.. Pach then invited the audience TO Join the

For this members would be entitled to have
their horoscopes mapped out and to full
predictions of all that would happen to

that only intelligent people were wanted In the so
ciety ignorant persons could not appreciate the
beauties of astroogy. and ne told a touching story
of how learned Harlem physician had given up
hope for the life of his only child. but he (Mr.
Pach) called professor Backy. and the latter
told him that the child would get we'll. Mr.. Pach
added that he also called on Mrs. Bennett, and
she, too. told him that the child would get well.

that the astrologsts knew moro about the Ills OF
humanity than the doctors.
At this point the Maltese cat fell of its perch
up near the ceiling and the meeting broke up. A
series OF free lectures Will be given In the same
place every Thursday evening for three weeks TO
encourage people 10 join the society.
