IN CUBA'S BEHALF.
President Cleveland Makes Q For.
NAL Proposition to Spain.
A CADLEGRlI Sent TO IR. TAYLOR.


WASHINGTON, April 1l.-At last
President Cleveland has taken action
In behalf Of Cuba. He has made 10
Spain a formal proposition that the
good Offices Of the United States be
accepted in mediation between that
country and her rebellious colony in
the West Indies.A This proposal was
made in cablegram Of instructions to
our minister at Madrid, Mr. Hannis
Taylor, which was dispatched yester-
day No diplomatic dispatch Of equal
Importance has left this capital since
Secretary Olney's note to the British
government on the Venezuelan bound
airy question was sent last summer. II
brings to crisis the relations between
the United States and Spain, which
have been unsettled since the outbreak
Of the Cuban rebellion. The note
thoroughly explains the attitude Of
the United States and the reasons
which have led to this action. The
principal points Of the dispatch are:
First-1he president offers the good
offices Of the United States government
In mediation between Spain and the
insurgents, with sview to settlement
Of the trouble and to bringing about
peace in Cuba.
Second-The note recalls the CORE.
spondence between this government
and Spain at the time OF the ten years
war, when President Grant and Scorer
tary Fish proposed mediation, and the
Spanish government, though declining
to accept II, promised certain reforms
In Cuba. The fact the United States
was In part instrumental in bringing
about that settlement, and the charge
that the Spanish government has not
kept Its promises, is given as reason
why the United States has a right to
be heard in the case.
Third-It is pointed out that the
present rebellion In Cuba has assumed
much more serious aspect than any
former insurrection, the insurgents
having apparently taken possession Of
all the island except Havana and
small section Of country round about.
Spain Is assured OF the fact the Unit
ed States Is actuated by only disinter-
ested motives, and by desire, through
friendship, to bring about more pa
cific and satisfactory state OF affairs In
the island. Spain Is urged to accept
our good Offices in the spirit In which
they are rendered. and the hope Is ex-
pressed that the Spanish government
will see Its way to granting reforms In
Cuba. The president does not ask
Spain TO grant the independence Of
Cuba, nor does he suggest that home
rule be accorded the people Of that is
land. He leaves all these questions Of
method to be discussed after spain
shall have expressed willingness TO
accept mediation.

a Successful Experiment..
LAWRENCE, Kan, April ia sue
cessful application Of the Roentgen
rays in surgery has been made by
Prof. Lucien l. Blake in his laboratory
at the Kansas state university. Two
surgeons from Western Kansas brought
to Lawrence young man whose leg

calf swelled to twice its natural size,
and he could not use the limb.
The injured man was laid on the
work table in the laboratory after
seven minute exposure. The plate was
developed and it showed thata section
Of the tibia, or skin bone, was blank.
The surgeons administered an anes-
thetic and cut into the flesh while the
man was still lying on the work table.
They found that the X rays had truth.
fully reproduced the exact condition
OF the bone. A two-inch section OF 1t
was gone and for that reason the bone
could not knit.
