"If moro sober afterthought does not
dam tho stream of American Chauvinism,

SENSATION
IN SPAIN
The Programme of the
United States Has Been
Ascertained.
WOODFORD WILL NOT TALK
Our Minister Declines to Be
Interviewed.
According to Spanish Authority, tho
Progriimmo ol This Country Doea
Not Contcmplnto Wur, but a Pro
clainntion of Dlsappravnl--JHcns
uros Taken for the Protection o(
General Woodford.
Madrid, Sept. 2C Tho arrival ot
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The programme of the United Statea
has been ascertained.
This does not contemplate a declara
tion of war If Spain rejects mediation,
but according to repoit, an "ostenta
tious proclamation to the world of dis
approval of the Cuban regime by sus
pending diplomatic relations with
Spain and withdrawing the United
States minister."
General Woodford has declined to bo
lntervleweel on the subject further
than to say that his conference with
the Duke of Tetuan, tho foreign min
ister, was of the most satisfactory
character. Tho unexpected bitterness
of the press and of public opinion has
painfully impressed him, but ho hopes
this will soon be allayed, as ho be
lieves his mission favorable to Spanish
interests and cannot comprehend that
Spain could reject mediation designed
to end an Impoverishing war. He has
not named a time at which the war
must be teimlnated, but he hopes, as
the result of his tenders that It will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
Is Inflicting Incalculable losses upon
the United States, and that it is im
possible to prevent the organization of
flllbui 'ring expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but
tho trip was quite uneventful. A party
ot gendarmes, commanded by a sub
lieutenant, guarded the southern ex
press on which he was a passenger.
Secret police were posted at the station
and the prefect of police was in wait
ing to escort liim to his hotel. The
drive through the streets was marked
by no special Incident, though several
people saluted him, receiving a bow in
return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's
family has not accompanieel him, but
remains behind the French frontier.
Minister Woodford explains that hl3
party is a large one, requiring a com
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Biarritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as n resi
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at tho Royal opera
house and has purchased horses.
Madrid, Sept. 26 The declaration Is
made here, and is being generally cir
culated, that tho Spanish troops in
Cuba have recaptured Victoria do las
Tunas, which was taken by the Insur
gents under Calixto Garcia and Jesu3
Rabi on Sept. 5.
