Cries of "viva IEspana."
MADRID, April 22.-General Wood
ford arrived at the station about
quarter of an hour in advance Of the
hour at which the train was scheduled
t) leave. But the train started half an
hour late, and during the Interval Gen
e-al Woodford conversed with the rep
rasentatves Of the foreign press and
number OF private friends.
An immense crowd gathered at the
station, composed of all classes. A
strong force Of police and civic guards
maintained order while amid the crowd
moved a large number Of private de-
tectives. A detachment of civil guards
accompanied General Woodford to the
frontier. The retiring minister main
tained his usual calmness, but looked
worn and fatigued.
When the crowd was thickest about
him, General Woodford forced his way
through and approaching Colonel Morel.
the chief Of police. shook hands with
him cordially. thanking him for his
kindness and zeal in guarding the Unit
ed States legation and his General
Woodfords) residence for so many
months
When General Woodford took his seat
I'm the train, there was stir among
the spectators and rush toward the
window Of the carriage. The minister
sat unconcerned and dignihed.
Senor Aguilera, the civil governor Of
Madrid his gigantic figure rising head
and shoulders above the crowd in a
stentoran voice raised a cheer which
was thrice responded to frantically by
the crowd. viva Espana" resounded
throughout the station until the train
was fairly outside This was not meant
rs kindly farewell, but was an explo-
sion of long pent up feelings Of venge-
ance.

patrol across the Atlantic.
II IS thought to be probable, however.
that no defensive step Of this character
Win BE taken until an actual search or
seizure OF a British or German mer-
chantinan by a Spanish privateer has
occurred, in which case II Is expected
the Spanish government will be held
accountable and exact limitations placed
upon her privateering.
So far as France is concerned, her
commercial interests are against priva-
teering, but her sentiments are toward
allowing Spain to prosecute about the
only effective means Of warfare at her
disposal
Russia, Austria, Italy and nearly all
Of the nations Of Europe and South
America some 40 In number. are sign
crs Of the treaty Of Paris against pri-
watering. but this binds them alone
and does not require them to exert in
iluencc on Spain to stop this mode Of
warfare. It Is the direct commercial
interest OF Great Britain and Germany
which leads them TO limit or put an end
10 this policy.
The action of the United States is re-
ceived with great favor, aside from its
bearing on the approaching conflict as
II is said TO give American adherence
for the future to the abolition OF priva-
tcering, although this country has re-
fused that adherence for the last AZ
years. The present action while not
accomplished by any formal signing of
the treaty Of Paris, is accepted by the
foreign Establishments here and is 80
made known TO foreign governments as
full adherence of the United States
e. the principles OF that treaty.
The first article Of the treaty of Paris
OF 1855 is In these words:
"Privateering is and remains abol-
ished."

ton We're Great Britain. France, Rus
sia, Austria. Sardinia and Turkey. 9th

IN resort TO privateering II Is one of
the terms Of the declaration that the
nations which accede to It will enter
Into no treaty with a nation not party
10 it on any of the subjects Il embraces
which does not adopt the four points Of
sye declaration.
Proposals were made to the United
states to accede to the declaration, but
Mr.. Marcy. then secretary OF state, de-
clned 10 sign. The United States, he
held, was at a disadvantage with pow
ers maintaining large navies. and
against them reserved the right TO en-
ploy privateers. It's extended seacoast,
be pointed out. also placed it at disad-
vantage. Since then. however. in the
Mexican war and the civil war, the
United States did not resort TO priva-
taers. although congress authorized the
use of privateers in the civil war.
With a new navy fast approaching the
dimensions Of other naval powers, and
the extended seacoast fortified at all
vital points, the objections raised by
llr. Marcy no longer apply, and this
doubtless contributed TO the determina-
ton OF the United States to accede to
the abolition Of privateering.

Negotiations along this line had been
PENDING here for some time and are now
shifted TO Madrid, where the British
charge d'affaires is making strong rep
resentations to Premier Sagasta to pre-
vent prvateering. Whether this win
be conceded by Spain is doubtful. as her
chief reliance for protracting war is
through commissioning privateers to
harass American merchant ships or
neutral ships carrying American goods.
