aIetser from Sickles--Spanish
and Cuban Affairs
A privata. letter from an authoritative
source states that Sickles has offered the
United States, as mediator between Spain
and Cuba, Che basis of the proposition be-
ing the abolition of slavery and the pay

control. 1t is stated that Spain demands
as o preliminary that the Cubans lay down
their arms, which it is a~scerta ped the Gu.
bans will not do having no guarantee OF
