QUIET IN MADRID.
important Conference Held-Peaceful
Solution Expected.

Solution Expected.
Madrid, March 29.-Beyond the fact
that a few policemen and couple of
civil guards stand outside the American
legation, there is absolutely no sign in
Madrid of the tension between Spain
and America. So far as the general
public is concerned, the matter is little
discussed, even the press being today
generally hopeful of a peaceful settle
ment.
The note United States Minister
Woodford presented is practically
repetition of the one presented in Sep
TENDER, which, in the interests Of hui
manity, asked Spain for an immediate
cessation of hostilitieS in Cuba. Upon
Spain's reply to this matter hinges the
conference held this afternoon, at which
Senior Sagasta, the premier; Senior Gull
lon, the foreign minister; Senior Moret,
the minister for the colonies, and Gen.
Woodford were present, and at which it
has been hoped decision would be
reached
Gen. Woodford's conference with the
Spanish ministers was Of an hours
duration; and they continued In delibera-
ton after the United States minister
withdrew.
In the course of an interview after
the conference, Senior Sagasta said that
Minister Woodford, at the conference,
asserted that he desired to express the
desires of his government on the sub
ject of the situation in Cuba, and of the
reconcentrados. Senior Sagasta added
that the conference discussed some of
these points, and that he had promised
to study Gen. Woodford's proposals and
to submit them to the queen regent
and then to a cabinet council, consider
| ing them from every point of view IN
order that the cabinet might take a
resolution thereon.
After the conference Senior Gulion
called at the palace to see the queen re-
gent.
Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Woodford seemed pleased with the
result, and every indication points to a
settlement.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Shipwrecked Men Rescued from
An Ice Floe Just in Time.
Some tainted Away From Joy-T errlbls
Experience of the Mastiff's Crew
Off Gross Island.

st. Johns, n. F.. March 29.-The
steamer Mastiff was crushed in an ice
foe off Gross island on March 10, and the
bottom was torn out of her by the bergs.
The crew. with boats and provisions,
left the ship and camped on the ice foe,
where they spent 48 hours nearly every
man being frost-bitten and most Of them
severely.
The ice broke up the first night and
a large party OF men was plunged into
the water. All escaped with their lives,
but their misery was greatly increased
by this misfortune. The second might 10
went insane but by great exertions on
the part of the captain and officers these
unfortunates were kept under control,
and employed in various tasks. Shelters
were made under the upturned boats
for those who We're most seriously frost
bitten; but many lives would have been
lost If they had not been rescued before
the third night
During the forenoon of the 18th the
steamers Newfoundland, Neptune and
Walrus appeared and speedily trans
ferred the castaWays to their decks.
When rescued, many tainted from
pure Joy. Others became crazed and
began to rave.
1t is feared that many must lose their
limbs. Arrangements are now making
to provide hospital accommodations for
the survivors when they arrive here.
The steamer Algerine reports that the
Neptune has $4,000 seals, the Newfound-

a principle involved? and 1 agree with
you, If 1t is necessary. 1t is easy to stir
the war fever, and unprincipled men are
taking advantage of it. Who doubts
that America Is ready to do its duty,

leans falter if brought to the issue?
Never! BV& when? how? where? are
the questions.
Only few weeks ago, at a certain
gathering in this city, gentleman from
out of town said if Tom Reed had been
president of the United States, war
would have been declared already. This
speaker also said it was to the credit
of the mayor of New York that he did
not return the visit Of the Spanish COM
mander Of the Vizcaya. L have yet to
learn that 1t is to the credit of any
man not to be a gentleman. (Applause.)
! remember how some years ago, Mr.
Reed in this city took the government
to task because birds were allowed to
build their nests in the guns of a New
Hampshire harhor, but since that time
MI Reed has been where by wave of
his hand, he could have had these nests
removed, but they still exist 1t is
not necessary to carry a gun to prac-
tice patriotism. You men, in whatever
you do, il you do the work honestly

the lessons the flag teaches is patriot
War is the last arbitrament. Sherman
declared that war was hell, and that is
no profanity. Grant said fifteen years
ago that the best way to avoid war was
to get ready for it. He argued that
the coast should be fortified, but we
have been so busy capturing the dollar
that we have had no time to think of
1t. The appropriation of that fifty mill
lions without a dissenting voice was the
greatest lesson to the world The pa
pers are criticlsing the president. I
would rather have the Judgment of
President Mckinley than of any sena-
tor who never fired a gun. (Applause.)
The mayor has well said that RESPONSE
bility teaches conservatism. When every
other resource has failed, when we find
we can't arbitrate, we must fight. When
Mckinley says it is time, I believe the
nation as one man will cry, LEAD onp
Applause) Let the sword be drawn
only for cause and sheathed only in
honor. Practical patriotism teaches
that it is not only necessary to cry war,
but to be ready to go.
Secretary Sayward closed the speak

honesty among its members and to build

Hunger AND CouRAGE.

FROM LOHCOH Odlly NtWS.J
In our review of Prince Kraft gu Hohen-
lohe's Letters on Strategy" yesterday,
Marshal Raditsky's opinion that "a hun
cry soldier has no courage" is quoted. A
war correspondent writes to US: 1.-THE
tough old marshal probably meant an ILL
fed soldier. Hungry and thirsty men have
given many splendid examples of courage,
but none more remarkable perhaps than in
that retreat from Cabul, when exposed for
six days and FIVE nights in the snow. with
out cover or fire, with scarcely any food
compelled by thirst to eat snow, which
and benumbed, the 44th responded calamity
to every call, and beat back repeated at
tacks of the Afghans who attempted to
overwhelm them as they passed through
a brief rest. These gallant fellows knew
all along what the end must be, but they
fought against fate to the last, as they
endured every hardship with the reso1u-
ton of heroes"
