CUBAN CORRESPONDENTS.

The president sent to the senate to-
day formal letter in answer to Sem
atOr HOar,s resolution calling for the
Cuban correspondence. With the let
ter Is a large mass of papers composed
of the correspondence of 1876 and 1878,
when General Grant offered to medit-
ate between Spain and Cuba. OF the
letters sent to the senate most of them
have been published. They show how
the offer to mediate was made, re-
ceived and rejected. The correspond
ence does not contain any intimation Of
the rumored offer of President Cleve-
land said to have been made recently.
In fact the correspondence does not
deal with any action of recent date
and is therefore very disappointing to
the senators who had hoped to gain
some information as to the presidents
policy. The administration senators
say. however, that the president has
only carried out what the. resolution
asked for and that was the correspond
ence between 1875 and 1878. and that 1t
did not contemplate the correspondence
of recent date. They further state that
this correspondence Is valuable and i'm
portant at this time, for it will show to
the public what precedent the president
is acting on In what they claim Is his
policy now of Offering mediation.

GERMANS LIKEoUR WOMEN.
But They Do Not Want to Marry Them
Prefer More Tractable Spouses.

American women have fallen into the
habit of thinking they have things all
their own way, says the New York
Press. For years Europe has been on its
knees to them, There are signs, how
ever. that this idolatry is becoming n
thing of the past. Shiploads Of Ameri-
can girls have landed, for years now, on
European shores, and various rs ara the
speoim ems, the genus is now well known
and has lost the charm of novelty. Here
in Germany the American girl is no long
er regarded as prize in the matrimonial
market,
TT is thought 5that q man would better
marry one Of his own country women,
unless the American has nothing les s
than mint of money. Even then he is
taking risks. For Germany is mans
paradise; America a woman's heaven.
The transportation of too many Ameri-
can women to German shores might re-
suit in the establishment of two rival
dynasties-n male and female one. Of
all things, Germans would most hate to
sink into the slavish position of Ameri-
can men and be worshippers at the
shrine of womankiud.
To be sure, if enc scan her critically
point by point, as one would horse,
the American woman has great many
things in her favor. But who wants her?
The Germap does not He likes to be
with her. She is charming to look at,
she is amusing to talk Io-the dainty,
hjgh-spirited. quivering, dashing thing.
Bpt he doesn't care to own her. Give
him rather sturdy. steady going, sure
footed creature that can draw a heavy
load and never tire; that oan contentedly
take abuse or affection as they come. n
What are the points in the American
girls favor She is prettier than the Ger
man girl, is better dressed, ia far more
interesting for various reasons. But she
appeals to the German as work of art.
She is thing to be criticised and per-
haps admired, but not to be touched or
used.
The American girl is prettier, though
this be the land of Gretchens and Trud-
chens, in all their ingenious blonde
beauty. But they are no longer visible.
Certainly in large cities like Berlin the
old Teutonic type hos Disappeared.
Only occasionally one sees splendid
Brunhilde, suoh as mon used to die for.
Even then an American eye is not sat-
isfsd. Magnificent size, beautiful blonde
braids, rudy cheeks, splendid health
are the possession of these few survivors,
but the beauty of expression that can
make flesh and blood an index to spirit
they have not. On the other hand,
American women often lack the features

came imminent, the conservative senti-
ment Of the country manifested itself and
soon demonstrated that 1t was in the
great majority. Yhe same may turn out
to be the case in this Cuban 4 business,
though the opposition TO war with
Spain can scarcely be expected to be SO
great az WAT with England. We shall
not have to wait long, however, to find

made so imminent by this resolution that
