CLEvELAND's OFFER TO SPAIN
The President Proposes That He
Should Act as Mediator.

Washington, April i1.-At last Presi-
dent Cleveland has taken action in be-
half of Cuba. He has made Il Spain q
formal proposition that the good offices
of the United States be accepted in me-
diation between that country and her
rebellious colony in the West Indies.
This proposal was made in a cablegram
of instructions to our minister at Mad
rid, Mr.. Taylor, which was dispatched
today. No diplomatic dispatch OF
equal Importance has left this capital
since Secretary Olney's note to the Brit
fsh government on the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was SEN to London
last summer
1t brings to a crisis the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain,
which have been unsettled sine the out
break of the Cuban rebellion. The note
thoroughly explains the attitude of the
United States and the reasons which
nave led to this action.
The principal points Of the dispatch
are:
l. The president offers the good Of
fees of the United States government
in mediation between Spain and the
insurgents, with a view to a settlement
of the trouble and to bringing about
peace in the island.
3. The ote recalls the correspondence

A miniature Geyser.

Chamberlain, S. D.. April ia Meade
county papers says thar what appears to
be a miniature geyser has been discov-
cred in the mountains two miles south OF
Sturgis. 1t Is situated upon the top of a
high mountain and gives forth steam and
hot air at stated intervals. The snow is
melted away from its mouth for thirty or
forty feet in each direction, vegetation
having been kept green all winter by the
warmth of the rocks surrounding 1t. The
party who discovered it refuses to reveal
the location until he has completed the
necessary p~reliminaries toward securing
Geyser is probably somewhat similar to
the natural artesian springs which are
found at several places III the bluffs along
the Missouri river, the water in the latter
also being warm enough to keep vegeta-
ton green during the coolest weather. The
only difereice Is that the geyser is report
ed to spout water and steam, while the
natural springs have a steady flow.

Won KOTZE'S VICTIM DIES.
Many Prominent People Likely I
he Dragged Into the Affair.

Potsdam, Prussia. April 13.-Baron
Won Schrader. master of ceremonies at
the Prussian court, died Saturday. his
death being the result OF injuries In
ficted by Count Won kotZe. formerly one
of the u chamberlains. during a
duel fought Friday in the vicinity of the
Neues Palais at Potsduin. Baron o
Schrader was severely wounded in the
abdomen at the time of the meeting on
the field Of honor, and his recovery from
the injuries was considered from the
first doubtful, If not impossible.
The death of Baron Won Schrader will
undoubtedly go a long way toward re-
viving the great court anonymous let
ters scandals, which for years have fur
nished Germany, and in fact all Europe,
with a series of startling sensations.

In Congress d

Washington. April 1O.-The senate
took up the question of sectarian Indian
schools today, but did not complete it.
The debate was very temperate and no
reference was made to the organization
which has been active in opposition to
sectarian schools. Senator Carter of
Montana. proposed to strike out the pro-
vision declaring that no money should
be spent on sectarian schools. This led
to a general argument in which Senators
Carter, Lodge. Hoar, Hawley and ALI
son participated.
An important bill passed at the close
of the day was that providing for a
trans Mississippi and International ex-
position at Omaha. Neb., in 1898.

WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
Robert EdRren Throws the Hammer
an Astonishing Distance.

San Francisco, April 13.-Robert w.
Edgren of the University of Califor-
MIA has again beaten the worlds ham.
mer-throwing record. From the regula.
ton seven-foot ring he hurled a six.
~teen-pounc hammer the astonishing
distance of 14S fAet 5 inches. This was
over three feet farther than the worlds
and a foot farther than Edgren's pre-
vious long throw which was discredited
by Mitchell, late of the New York Ath.
letlc club. 1t was because of Mitchell's
doubts that it was arranged to have Ed.
gren make an effort to duplicate his feat
under circumstances that would leave
no room for caviling. even although his
performance could not take rank as an
official record. Hence the trial took
place In the presence of five persons, al,
of whom observed carefully the weigh.

IN OLD MADRID.

That Is Shameful.

Madrid, April Traditional returns
from yesterdays elections for members
of the cortes show that among those
elected are Seniors Emilio CASTELAR, and
Margall. The manipulation of the poll.
ing and counting of votes in Madrid has
resulted In the election of five conserva.
tives and three liberals. The marquis
of Cabrinana, who revealed the recent
municipal scandals, was badly defeated
on the face of the returns. The dishon.
est methods employed by the authorities
in handling the polling against the mar.
quis are apparent in the fact that o
great many more ballots are returned
han there were electors. The populace
are indignant at the employment OF
such tactics and the authorities have
taken precautions against an outbreak
1t is conceded on all sides hat the new
parliament will be short lived.
