EUROPE WON’T OBJECT.
If Uncle Bam Intervene* Between Spniu
and Cm ha—A Diplomatic Triumph.
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.

Why He Quit Calling.
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.

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. This noble or
ganization has performed g^eat
deeds in the past here and in
neighboring cities. The amount
of distress in the city is not yet
arge, but it is growing, very many
amilies having had their means
of sustenance taken away by the
jeneral stoppage of business.

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.
