Madrid, Sept 22.—The corres pondent here of the Associated Frees learns ou high authority that the much discussed interview of Saturday last betweeu the Uni ted States minister to Spain, General Stewart Woodford, and the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, was merely preliminary. General Woodford represented to the duke the gravity of the condition of Cuba, and requested, in behalf of the United States, that Spain would find a method of speedily ending the war and giving justice to the Cubans. He offered the good offices of the United States in effecting a settlement of the Cuban troubles, which practically gives Spain an opportunity of gracefully ending the war. If she does not embrace it within a rea sonable time, notice will be given that the United States mast inter fere, though Gen. Woodford has not said so yet. SpaiKt caaoat oaipeot the aid of European powers, ae the United States ambassadors have ascer tained that all the European conn- tries, except Austria, recognize that the interests of the United States justify the latter’s interfer ence in Cuba. Austria, in this matter, is influenced by the rela tionship between the two dynas ties, the Queen Regent of Spain be ing an Austrian archduchess; but it is not likely that Austria will take any part in the question be yond possibly making a diploma tic protest against the interven tion of the United States. - For Rent.

He was an estimable young man in every way, says the Philadel phia Record, and she was more than estimable—in his opinion— so, with the idea of wheeling his way into her heart, he saved and hoarded his shekels end purchase a fine tandem. But “the beet-laid plane of mice and men gang aft aglee,” They had ridden some fifteen miles, and after slowly and laboriously pedaling to the top of a long bill he, after mopping his dripping brow, gasped out con vulsively: “M-M-May, youc-c-can p-p-put your feet on the c-c-coast- ere now.” “Why,” said hie com panion, “I’ve had them on ever since we started.” He said noth ing, but set hie teeth grimly, and she has wondered Bines then why he has not called on Sunday eve* ningi. YELLOW FEVEIt. I.nre* Number of Nvw ('»•»* In M*bUs— Twelve New tu New Orleitna. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 22.—There was a slight increase in the num ber of new cases of yellow fever during the 24 hours ending at noon to-day, but this was offset by the announcement that there were no deaths to report, that five patients were discharged and that all the patients were doing well. There has been no deaths here since Saturday last, and the total number of deaths is three. The total number of cases is 34. The address of the president of the board of health to-day is as follows: “It will be seen that four new cases have been reported this day as having occurred—one on the 17th inst:, one on the 19th and two on the 20th. No deaths have occurred. Five cases previously reported are convalescent and dis charged, leaving a total under treatment at this date of 27 being one less than reported under treat ment yesterday. The new cases are not reported as presenting any malignant symptoms of those cases under treatment. All, without exception, were reported as doing well, with a fair prospect of con- valesence/’ The Can’t-Get-Away club of Mobile is doing a great work in the way of nursing the sick and relieving distress.

New Orleans, bept. 22.—The official record in the board of health office at 6 o’clock showed a total of 12 cases of yellow fever since 6 o’clock yesterday evening and two deaths. The new cases are for the most part widely scattered, and several of them at least do not seem to have been the outcome of local infection. It is apparent that the microbes brought over in baggage from Biloxi and Ocean Springs are still circulating, and that many more cases of fever are to be looked for. For Sale Cheap. A good work mule.
