Washington dispatch of yesterday
saws: After the return of the President
this morning, and particularly as he
spent several hOars with Secretary lsh
at the Department sf State, much anx-
lety was expressed to ascertain the
character of the conference, the sup
position being it had reference TO our
relations with Spain. This is probable,
but there is no authority for the positive
assertion. 1t is certain, however, that
no action was taken III the premises. 1t
Is already known that some time ago
Minister SJCk,cS was instructed to offer
the United States Government as a me-
diator between Spain and Cuba. Repre-
seut4tlous being made by respectful BILE
parties who had visited SPAN and OBJ
tanned Interviews with prominent per
soaaGes that It's freHdly offers would
meet with favor, Snch offers not being
uncommon IN our own history and that
OF other nations, Minister Sickles ap-
preached the Spanish Government upon
the subject and had the desired inter
view Contrary to European kilograms,
there Is no reason for suppOsing that
Ile Spanish Government took otfense,
or has sought to involve other govern
ments in its action. The Spanish Gov
eminent, after mature consideration OF
the protrred mediation, has thanked
the United States Government for Its
friendly disposition, but is not willing
20 agree to our mediation between
spain and Cuba on the the terms pro
posed. The end of the matter simply Il
that the mediation is declined.
