TO get four colliers with carrying capacity OF

WORD FROM MINISTER wooDFORD.
HE TAKES A HOPEFUL VIEW OF THE SITUATION
IN MADRID

IN MADRID
Washington. March 3O.-The President this
morning received cable dispatch from Min
lister Woodfori at Madrid, in which he confirms
the published report that he had an extended
conference with Premier Sagasta yesterday. No
definite conclusion reached as the Minis
ter desires to place the matter under consdera-
ton before the Queen Regent and the other
members OF the Ministry The conference was
adjourned until tomorrow. Although General
Woodford does not give any details OF what oc
CURED at the meeting, his message is hopeful
In tone, and causes the President to believe that
a final settlement OF the questions at issue may
be reached at to-morrow's conference
The main question discussed at the meeting
yesterday between General Woodfor1 and
Premier Sagasta Is known to have been the
prompt cessation Of hostilities In Cuba, the re-
lease Of the reconcentrados. with permission for
them 10 return to their homes and resume their
occupations without further mOlestation. The
exact lines which Minister Woodford is at
work for final settlement OF the Cuban Ques-
ton cannot be stated. as he has received a
number of suggestions from this Government
to what would be acceptable to IT, The con-
sensus Of opinion, however. in Administration
circles is that II involves settlement on a
basis ~ an indemnity Of something less than

PREPARING MANILA AND PORTO RICO.

pyFENcEs OF THESE PLACES TO BE STRENGTH
ENEp-opr1MrsM IN MADRID.
Madrid. March 3o--Orders have been sent to
strengthen defences In Manila and Porto Rico.
There Is much comment upon Americas pur-
chase Of twenty-three heavy guns from the Arm
strongs and 1t is alleged that both Spain and
Japan had previously refused them, after trial.
The impression Of the press and the public gem
orally 10 that Spain will be able to make good
show In the event Of war. although her men
of-war are smaller than the Americans. She
would depend on her greater strength in tor
pedo- boats torpedo catchers and torpedo-boat
destroyers.
Public opinion however. Is swayed by every
passing wind and. since the presentation OF the
Maine report to Congress has not produced
crisis. and inasmuch as exaggerated reports Of
NJ Hanotaux's speech have excited hopes Of
European support. the present feeling is one Of
extreme optimism. increased by hopes Of the
outcome Of the woodford-Sagasta conference, an
optimism which prevails especially In financial
circles
Minister Woodfords proposals are not yet
known TO the public here The papers assert
that when ne gave assurance Of Americas
friendliness Sefoi Sagasta pithy retorted by
alluding to the warlike preparations Of the
United States. the attitude Of the American Con-
gress and to American popular feeling. Cen
eral Woodford is said to have explained this
"only natural in order 10 be ready for emer-
gencies."
The result of to-morrows conference is await
ed all sides with the greatest anxiety and
hope.
London March 31-The Madrid correspondent
Of The Daily Mall says:
'sehor Puigcorver, Minister Of Finance. has
instruments IN the cruiser and dispatch boat

growing with such ardor that it is believed II
war occurs the Government will have splendid
opportunity TO raise a large internal loan by
