SITUATION IN SPAIN.
NO ULTIMATUM A? VET FROM
UNCLE SAM.
Minister Woodford'* Instmetlnus Too

ernmrnt to II* Impressed With
the Necessity nf a Cassation
of Hostilities.
No Threats Hata Been Mad*.
Washiwotow. Sept 23.—The admin
istration haa been Informed by cable
in the fullest detail by United State*
MlnUtcr Woodford of the conference
held with the Duke of Tetuaii, Spac
l*h minister of foreign affair*. There
U nothing In Minister Woodford's dis
patch to liear out In the slightest de
gree the report* that the American
minister ha* presented uri ultimatum
to Spain declaring that If war In Cuba
I* not terminated by the end of October
the United State* would feel justified
In taking measure* to secure the In
dependence of Cuba
Minister Woodford, in the course of
hi* Interview, which was preliminary
In it* nature, lain the foundation for
the fuller preeentstion of the protest of
the United States, whioh he will make
to the Spanish court, when It ahalt
re more In October from San Sabastaln
to Madrid He will then earnestly,
but courteously, Insist that the failure
of Spain to terminate the war In Cuba
haa become a r-ourceof great solicitude
to this country, and which, on account
of tha enormous American Interests
involved, make* it Imperative that the
United States should tender its offices
to secure a termination of the war If
possinie, upon a nasi* inai win pruvr
satisfactary to Spain.
Minister Woodford'* instructions,
which wilt lie communicated in fall
shortly, contain no threat against the
Spanish government. They certainly
are not In the nature of an ultimatum,
which would mean war, aud they go
but little If any farther than the po
sition assumed by Secretary Olney In
hie report of less than a year ago.
Secretary Sherman believes that the
time ha* arrived when Spain must
make such concessions as will close
the war. and Minister Woodford has
been instructed to earnestly pres*
upon the Spanish government the In
terest of the United State* in assist
ing to secure such a cessation of hos
tilities The prospects are for a
change of ministry in Spain and for a
cabinet under liberal auspice*, headed
by Senor Sogasta.
Maiihiii, Sept. '13. — It is learned
upon high authority that the much
discussed Interview of last Saturday
between United Htate* minister to
Spain, General Sic wart L. Woodford,
and the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, the Duke of Tctuan, were
merely preliminary.
General Woodford stated 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
und giving justice to the Cuban*. He
offered the good offices of the United
States in effecting a settlement of
the Cuban troubles, which practleatly
gives Spain an opportunity of grace
fully ending the war. If she does not
embrace It within a reasonable time,
notice will be given that the United
States mutt interfere, thougli General
Woodford has not said so yet
Spain cannot expect the aid of
Kuropean powers, as the United States
ambassadors have asccitainod that ail
the Kuropean countries, except Aus
tria, recognize that the interest* of
the United Slates justify the latter's
interference in Cuba. Austria
in tills matter, is influenced
by the relationship lie tween
the two dynasties, the queen
ragout of Spain being an Austrian
urcliduciiess, but it is not likely that
Austria will take any part in the
question beyond |>o*sibly making a
diplomatic prote.st against the inter
vention of the United States.

The constitutionality of the new

end having liecn made by Conley A

They will bring the ease in the name

Mortgages Piled sod Released.
The office of the bureau of lalstr sta
tistics had collected from the county
officers of the state reeordsof the mort
gaged indebtedness, showing the new
mortgages filed and the releases en
tered during the first six months of the
year l*i»7. This record shows the,
mortgages In three classes, those- on
farm property, those on elty rcul es
tate, uml those on chattels. The rec
ord is complete on farm mortgages tiled
from all the counties of the state, ex
cept Arthur, II,-inner nod Grant,
In the oftlce of the register of deeds
the sales under foreclosure are entered
and when the district court clerk certi
fies that a mortgage has been foreclosed
it is counted us a mortgage released.
Thus the reduction of mortgage Indebt
edness has these foreclosures included
in the gross sum.
.Several of the counties, including tbe
large ones of Douglas, Dam aster. Gage
and Cass, with others, have not re
ported the amount of these mortgages
foreclosed. There are twenty-six of
these counties not reporting this Item,
and Chief Clerk Kdgertou lias estimated
by a system which proves to lie approx
imately correct, the amount, of fore
closures lu these counties. All counties
report tin; number of foreclosures on
both farm lauds uml city and town
lots.
The six months' record shows that,
the farm mortgages tiled arc less than
the farm mortgages released in the
amount of 9954,306.14, uml that the
foreclosures on farm motgages amount
ed to 81,.'DO.l's.iitl. The total number
of farm mortgages Hied during tbe six
months was 0.589, uml the totul num
ber released, w hether by foreclosure or
otherwise, was M.oot.
The total number of city real estate
mortgages Hied was 2,182. amounting
to 91.883,173.58, and the total number
released was 2.990, amounting to93,

Ex-Senator Mamlcrson has received

American gadsratloa of labor Issoc*
an Address to Trade* Colon*
WASIIIHOTON. Sept. 3i.-The execu
tive council of the American Feder
ation of labor met yesterday at the
headquarters of the organization in
this city, to discus* the mining situa
tion.
Tim council issued an addre*s which,
in part, follow*:
‘‘A call has gone forth to the trade
unions nnd public for a labor conven
tion in Chicago next Monday. The
ostensible objects arc to take measures
in aid of the miners' strike, and to off
set the sweeping powers of the court*
in granting injunctions in defiance of
]K>pular right* during labor disputes
"Theac object* arc very commenda
ble and worthy the active, practical
.support of every trade* unionist and
........... i,>.i„ ....... if..t
condition* have somewhat changed
since that convention tvas agreed upon.
This week, fully 7&.0U0 miners have
gone to work on terms fixed jointly by
the miners and operators. Jt is the
greatest victory gained by trades
anion* in years. It was won against
the combined power of wealth, judi
cial usurpations and inhuman tyr
anny.
"We can see no need for the labor
convention in t'hicago next Monday.
We advise our uulous not to be repre
sented there. The money it would
coat to send delegates would Itettergu
to help the siifTeriug miners and their
families
"It Is not by conventions, with irre
sponsible talk, inllauimatory declara
tion and revolutionary buncombe that
the cause of labor can la* advanced.
Violent appeala to the |iasslonsof the
multitude can serve no good purpose,
it is ouly by systematic organisation
of tlie work ins' people in trades
unlous, with uutted hearts and united
funds aud a fraternity of purpose
which knows no hounds of creed,
color, nationality or politics, that will
uplift the masses.
