season of the year to spend away from
home. Many who formerly started on their
vacation early In the summer now remain
in the city during the heated term, and
await the coming of Indian summer be-
fore going for rest and recuperation. Fort
less Monroe and Virginia Beach, with their
magnificent hostelries. perfect bathing and
fishing. bracing. salty air and fascinating
maritime views, are daily sought by travel
ers from all parts of the country. A stay
al either of these resorts. with the opportu-
mites of visiting Norfolk. and many other
delightful and interesting places. is of un-
told benefit and pleasure. The Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company's steam
ers leave 9TH street wharf IT pm. every
evening in the year. arriving at Fortress
Monroe Virginia Beach and Norfolk early
the following morning. This is the only
direct route to these resorts.

President Cleveland Interferes i'm Behalf
of Down-Trodden Cuba-Crisis Coming.
CHICAGO, April IA special dispatch
TO the Times Herald from Washington
saws:
At last President Cleveland has
taken action in behalf of Cuba. He
has made to Spain formal PROPOSE
ton that the good Offices of the
United States be accepted i'm mediation
between that country and her rebel
lious colony in the West Indies. This
proposal was made in cablegram of
instructions 10 our minister at Madrid
Mr.. Taylor. which was dispatched Fri
day No diplomatic dispatch OF equal
Importance has left this capital since
Secretary Olney's note 10 the British
government on the Venezuelan houn-
Diary question was sent To London last
summer.
1t brings TO a crisis the relations be-
tween 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 10 this action.
The president offers the good Offices
of the United States government in
mediation between Spain and the in
surgents. with view TO "A settlement
of the trouble and To bring u about peace
in the island.
Spain is assured of the fact that the
United States is actuated by only disin-
terested motives, and by a desire
through friendship TO bring about a
more pacific 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 expressed 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 ac-
corded the people of that island lie
leaves all these questions of mediation
To be discussed after Spain shall have
expressed willingness to accept medi-
alton.
