wooDFoRD ISSUES A STATEMENT
Says He Does So in the Interest of
Friendship and Peace.

Madrid, April Z, $50 p. m.-United States
Minister Woodford has issued the follow.
ing statement to the Spanish press: eThe
Madrid newspapers of this morning are
filed with statements concerning the
American minister. which are so inaccu-
rate that he asks the courtesy of the press
to correct them. He does this in the in
terest of friendship and peace
THE proprieties of his diplomatic posi-
ton forbid his making any statement with
regard to his diplomatic action with tie

the Spanish foreign office received written
permission to publish the text of any Of

at any time with the Spanish government
and this permission is effective to-day
The Spanish government is at complete
liberty to publish every word he has ever
addressed to the foreign office by letter
memorandum or statement.

legation has sailed for New York to re-
sumo the practice of his profession. He
has resigned from the diplomatic service
The American minister's wife left with
her niece for Paris Wednesday night. She
is in poor health, and the excitement oi
the past fortnight has compelled her te
seek absence and rest.
The daughter of the American minister
remains, and will remain with him at Mad
rid. He has not given up his residence
where he expects to reside so long as he
shall remain accredited to the Spanish
court
''The American minister has received
nothing but courtesy from the people Of
Madrid. He has never had the slightest
apprehension as to his own personal Sc.
curity or that of his family. He is work
ing for peace, and, despite all rumors tc
the contrary, he stll hopes peace viii bc

Madrid, April 6, 80 p ma hitch has
occurred in the peace negotiations and the
Cuban armistice proclamation will not be
issued tomorrow (Thursday) as expected.
Madrid, April T. / :35 a. m.-There appears
to be much mystery connected with last

the premier, Senor Sagasta, had returned
home, the papal nunclo, Mgr. Nava, I'm
company with the minister for foreign af-
fairs. Senor Cullen, arrived with com
muncation from Rome.
This was considered of such Importance
that the other ministers were summoned
and remained in consultation until 1:S0 a.
M.
1T is said the result of their deliberations
was telegraphed TO Rome, from where it
was to be cabled to the United States.
No explanation has been furnished of
this procedure, but these facts are furnish
ed on official authority.
The cabinet ministers at their meeting
last evening decided to appoint a commit
tee to organize and superintend the ma
tional subscription to increase the strength
of the fleet
The following official statement issued
after the cabinet meeting says:
"The cabinet considered every aspect of
the situation on the information of the
foreign and colonial ministers, and espe-
cially in the light of the reports of the
ministers of war and marine.
''The outcome of the deliberations was
the adhesion of the government to all its
previous decisions, without modification,
and resolutions to that effect were adopted.

moment, when the cabinet council was
commencing, the minister for foreign af-
