At the White House

WASHINGTON, May S.-General Stew
art l.. Woodford, United States minister to
Spain, arrived in Washington from New
York tonight. He went almost directly to
the White House, where he was given q
most cordial reception by the president
He remained In conference with the presi-
dent until a late hour, the entire Hispano-
American situation being informally and
thoroughly discussed. General Woodford
declined to be interviewed on the subject.
1t can be said that the president not only
gave General Woodford a cordial recep-
tion, but warmly congratulated him upon
his conduct Of American interests In Mad
rid. The president assured him that his
work In Madrid during the critical crisis
met with his entire approval.
1t was learned tonight that the admin
istration had a purpose in transmitting to
General Woodford the ultimatum of the
United States to Spain in open English,
instead of in the state department cipher.
which Is usually employed in cable corre-
spondence with diplomatic representatives
1t was expected by the president that the
message to Minister Woodford would be
laid before the Sagasta ministry before It
was delivered to General Woodford, and
In this he was not incorrect, as events
proved. The message was delayed many
hours in delivery, and Minister Woodford
afterward learned that the ultimatum had
been in the hands of Sagasta and had been
considered by the cabinet long before he
learned that 1t had arrived. Thus 1t was
that the Spanish government was enabled
to give him his passports before he had
an opportunity to deliver the ultimatum
formally to the Madrid government. The
fact that the ultimatum was not presented
to the Spanish government was entirely
satisfactory to the administration, as 1t
was in accordance with the expectations of
the president.
Consul General Bowen, whose head
quarters were at Barcelona, arrived here
tonight in company with General Wood
ford. He, too, declined to make any state
ment for publication.

to resist successfully, but that he and his

Serious Acciden. to Mr.. wcCann.

On Tuesday Mr.. K. Lamar Mccain, OF
Dublin, met with an accident which came
very near being fatal. He had been in Balti-
more and on returning 10 Bel Air went to
Hutchins' stable to get his horse which had
been left there. The horse had been hooked
up for some time and had become FESTIVE.
Mr.. Mccain had entered the buggy but be-
fore he had gotten complete control, the ami
ma! dashed into the street. Another team
had gone from the stable Immediately pre-
ceeding that of Mr.. Mccain, and his horse
being unable to make the short turn, rushed
across the street on to the pavement st Mr..
James c. Young's store. Finding his way
blocked by the house, he turned and started
up the pavement, coiiding with the fence in
front Of the residence of Mr.. John S. Young,
with such force as to nearly free himself from
the harness. The shock was so great as to
throw the driver headformost over the dash
beard, his head striking the end of one OF the
pickets, cutting aud decorating the forehead
and severing one of the SIN Ill arteries. 4
number OF citizens were on the street at the
time and assistance was promptly rendered.
Mr. Mccain was taken to Richardson's drug
store where be was attended by Drs. Munnik-
huysen and Richardson. Sixteen stitches
We're found necessary to sew up the wound
TIE patient was removed to AndersOn's hotel
for the night. The lines fortunately caught
