Ex-Minlster to Spain Saw No British
AnimOsity.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Standard says that
General Woodford formerly American
Minister to Spain, has written a letter
which will shortly be published, in which
he says:
1t is quite possible that Queen Vic
toria. herself widow, wrote kindly and
sympathetically to Spains widowed Queen,
who was making so brave and patient
struggle to save her sons crown and pre-
serve his territorial heritage unimpaired; /;
but l do not believe that Queen Victoria
or the British Government ever did, said
or wrote anything unfriendly to the
United States or prejudicial to our inter-
ests in connection with Spanish affairs.
BY referring to the United States dip
lomatic correspondence you will see that
the British Ambassador called on me al
San Sebastian before l had been officially
presented to the Spanish Government
From then until l asked for my passports
and turned over the care of American
interests to the British Charge DAT

as it came within my knowledge, was uni

President yesterday the case of Arthur
f. Noyes. judge of the United States Dis

Gently convicted of contempt of court by

Il has recently been represented to the
Attorney General that the mining inter
ests in the Nome region demanded that
early action be taken in the Noyes case.
Owners of mining properties which have
not been developed are disinclined TO
proceed with their operations before it is
determined whether a judge is to he ap-
pointed in whom the business community
can repose confidence.
The President has not yet determined
whether Judge Noyes shall be summarily
dismissed or allowed 10 resign.
