Senate at the instance OF Senator Goar. rela-
tive TO the attempt at mediation made by the
United States government during the course
of the preceding rebellion in Cuba. The cor
respondence covers the period from Nov. 8,
1875, to August, 1876. and comprises about
four hundred typewritten pages. great
part of 1t has already been made public,
some of 1t in Wharten's Digest of Interna-
t!onal Law and some in correspondence for
merly supplied TO Congress. The leading
feature Is the letter of Secretary Fish to
United States Minister Caleb Cushing, at
Madrid, in 1875. setting out at great length
the evils of the situation as it then existed
In Cuba and suggesting many radical reforms
that the Spanish government should put into
operation in Cuba to correct these abuses
Copies Of this note were submitted to all the
courts OF Europe apparently to pave the
way for the intervention that was hnted at
in case Spain failed to profit by the sug-
gestions of Mr.. Fish, but the concluding
chapters of the correspondence show, as Is
well known now, that the efforts to intervene
came to naught and that the recognition of
the belligerency of the insurgents was held
up by our government

However much we may differ as to
the legality or the eypediency Of the
expense or regarding the details, GER
tain it is that Brattleboro will dedi
cate tomorrow, one of the most at
tractive little opera houses to be found
in New England. Would that we could
say as much of the town hall proper.
Nevertheless there are many things
in connet ton with this part of the
building which he may be called i'm
provements and which no doubt, will
be appreciated by the public, though
there is no mistaking the very general
opinion that the architectural lines of
the building have been sorely disfgur
ed. 1t has been one of the features of
beautiful Brattleboro which visitors of
taste have universally praised, as can
be done no more regarding its exterior
appearance The addition in the rear
of course is a Disagreement, and it Is
a fair question, after We see what the
cost has been If il would not have been
more economical il we were going
into the opera house scheme, to have
bought the land and put up separate
building. The lowering OF the first
floor of the town hall to bring it nearly
on level with the street, though it
was demanded by the public to avoid
the necessity of climbing the steps, and
though it was probably necessary for
the opera house part also necessarily
involved disproportion architectur
ally, as the whole building WAS origin
ally constructed on plan of dignity

raised decorations of papier mache and
handsome draperies which will easily
seat Six persons each. The parquet is

There are seven different and complete
settings in the maze of canvass, a
drawing room scene consisting of center
door piece, one alched opening, two
jog pieces, four plain wings, two sets
of door wings, one fire place and man

bay window, then there is a chamber

Underneath the stage and along the
east end of the building are several
comfortable dressing rooms, which are

Fire escapes have been placed on both
