Offers to Mediate on the Cuban
Revolution.
Wants the War TO End-Questions OF
Government of Cuba Not Mention
ed - Reforms Wanted on the ISL
and Only Disinterested Motives.

CHICAGO, April IA dispatch Il
the Times-Herald from Washington
says:
At last President Cleveland has TAX
en- action in behalf of Cuba He ha!
made to Spain a formal proposition
that the good Offices of the United
States be accepted in mediation be-
tween that country and her rebellion:
colony in the West Indies.
This proposal was made in a cable
gram of instructions to our Minister al
Madrid, Mr.. Hannis Taylor, which was
dispatched today. No diplomatic dis
patch of equal Importance has left this
capital since Secretary Olney's note to
the British Government on the Vene-
zualan boundary question was sent
last summer.
1t brings to crisis the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain,
which have been unsettled since the
outbreak of the trouble.
The note thoroughly explains the at
titude of the United States and the
reasons which have led to this action.
The principal points of the dispatch
are:
First-The President offers the good
Office of the United States Government
in mediation between Spain and the
insurgents, with view to settlement
of the trouble and 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 Secre-
tary Fish proposed mediation and the
Spanish Government, although declin-
ing to accept it, promised certain re-
forms in Cuba. The fact that the
United States was in part instrumental
in bringing about that settlement and
the charge that the Spanish Govern
ment has not kept it's promise is given
as reason why the United States now
has 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 instruction, the insurgents
having apparently taken possession. of
all the island, except Havana and
small section of country roundabout.
Spain is assured of the fact that the
United States is actuated by only dis
interested motives and by a desire
through friendship to bring about
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 Govern
ment will see it's way to granting re-
forms in Cuba.
The President does not ask Spain to
grant the independence of Cuba nor
does he suggest that home rule be &C
corded the people of that island. He
leaves all these questions of method to
be discussed after Spain shall have
expressed a willingness to accept me-
diation.

LONDON, April 11.-AdVices received
by the Times regarding the situation in
Magabeleland again take rather alarm
list tone, but no advices have been re-
ceived by the Government to bear out
this view of the situation, and the pres
ent force of troops in South Africa is
considered sufficient by the Govern
ment. A Buluwayo dispatch says:
1.-The whole of the Matabele nation
has risen, and 1900 men in strong CO.
operative columns will be required to
clear the country. 1t is impossible to
act except on the defensive with small
patrols"
A dispatch from Pretoria to the Times
says:
IAN indictment has been issued that
charges all the members of the Reform
Committee who have been made pris-
oners, without distinction, of conspir-
ing with DR.. Jameson to invade the
Transvaal and to cause an instruction
at johannesburg. 1t also charges them
with sending armed troops to meet DR..
and with the unlawful dis
tribution of Maxim guns and arms,
with the object of undermining the Re-
public, and with the assumption of the
powers of the police. The Government,
Mr.. Chamberlain, has again
wired here complaining of President
delay in deciding as to his
proposed visit to England.

NICARAGUA's REVOLUTION.

Both Sides Getting Tired of Fruit
less Fighting.
CORINTO, Nicaragua, April 10.-Fo1
several hours Oh April 9Th and 7th the
insurgent troops under the command OF
General Boca, President of the Revolu-
tionary Government of Nicaragua, can
nondded the troops sent by the Gov
eminent Of Honduras at Chinandega.
The bombardment, however, did not
dislodge the soldiers, who were sent by
Honduras to the assistance of the Gov
eminent of President Zelaya.
The only real fighting done so far
was in the earlier stages of the revolu-
ton, and it seems to have sickened
both armies. The Leonists have the
largest quantity of arms and they are
OF more modern description than those
of President Zelaya.

are imprisoned in the hold. II will be
impossible to recover them for several
days. Then the work will probably
have TO be done by divers.
The Blairmore was anchored about
half mile off the Union Iron Works,
in seven fathoms of water. During the
early part of the night she was held
by only one anchor, but at o'clock,
when the storm came up, all available
anchors were dropped and her other
fastenings made secure.
Suddenly and without warning a wild
squall rushed up, and catching the yes
sci under the port bow, lifted her COM
pletely out of the water. For moment
she seemed held in the air, and from
that position she dropped over on her
side.
An attempt was made TO reach the
men in the hold, but before anything
could be done the Blairmore filed and
sank, carrying down the six unfortu-
mates in the hold.

Sharp Censorship Upon ''Plague .
Reports From Japan.

Sharp Censorship Upon s. Plague -
Reports From Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, April g. The
steamer Rio de Janeiro arrived from
Yokohama today.
The Rios officers are reticent about
the plague in Japan. In fact they say
it does not exist there, and that there
is only little cholera in the interior.
Their reports also minimize the plague
in China, and say it was reported in
Japan that there had been only $50
deaths in Hong Kong and Canton in
two months.
1t is evident that the Pacific Mail is
suppressing the facts as to the epidemic,
as the Japanese newspapers, over which
a careful censorship is exercised, admit
the seriousness of the visitation. Traf-
fic on the steamship line beteen Via
livestock and Yokohama has been sus-
pended and the quarantine regulations
at all Japanese ports are rigorous.

NatLOnaI Reform Press Aeseeiation.


The National Reform Press Assocla.
tiOn met at st. Louis July 20. The
meeting was attended largely by news
paper men from the South and East.
Very few editors were present from
States In which the POpulist party has
achieved any success. The anti-Brysn
element was In the majority. VitriOliC
speeches were made by Cyclone Davis
Of Texas, Col. S. F. Norton of Chicago
and Paul VanderVoort of Omaha.
Davis is not newspaper man at all
and VsnderVOort runs a small monthly.
Colonel Norton is, of course, a legiti-
mate newspaper man, having been in
the reform press work for twenty years.
Ignatius DOnnelly made a speech op-
posing Bryan In which he used very
temperate language. The other speak
era severely srrsigned the Populists of
the West who were at the convention
asking that the vote against the gold
standard be not divided and frittered
away on two candidates. A commit
tee was appointed by the Chair to re-
port resolutions expressive of the SEN
timent Of the members. President
VsnderVoOrt, who, by the way, was
the only Nebrssksn claiming to be a
POpulist who was present opposing
Bryan, named q committee on which
the Western members were given no
representation.
Tuesday morning the committee re-
ported series Of resolutions which In
effect declared that the men who were
favorable to Bryan were enemies to
the cause and untriendly to the main
tensnce of the party.
By this time a small body of boys
from Kansas and other Western States
had gathered in. An effort to get the
middle Of-the-road officers of the ssso-
citation to clear the hall of all but mem
beFs did not meet with success. An
effort to get roll call in order that
those not entitled to vote might be ex-
cluded from participating was ruled
out by the Chair. A large portion of
those present wore Texas badges.
The Western members attempted to be
heard through Colonel Close Of the
Topeka COoperatOr but he was hoWled
down. The effort of the CHR to quiet
things so that he could be heard was
unsvailing and the Colonel very prop
erly refused to attempt to talk to
Reform Press Association which did
not care to hear from the only localities
in which the party has been successful.
The Western men, unable to get con-
siderate treatment, offered no further
objection to the adoption of the reso-
lutions but filed protest in which it
was set forth that the best interest Of
the party demanded the nomination of
Bryan and SeWsll. AS the adoption Of
resolutions opposing union of forces
seemed to be the object for which the
meeting was called the association ad-
