recent mission to Rome in the interest of
the proper understanding and observance

in Rome the Italian ministry expressed
to Mr.. Stump its earnest desire that per-

in the United States should be restrained
from embarkation, and that such regula-
tions rs the ministry had authority to en-
force should be promulgated with Il view
to preventing further undesirable immi-

The Spaniards continue to report des-
perate battles in Cuba with triniug cas-.
ualities, especially on their own side In
the meantime, while the Spaniards are
gaining victories the Cuban patriots are
gaining possession of the island, and with
Gomez actively taking part in the cor.
fiict, as now seems to be the case, the
chapces of the insurgents are growing
brighter every day. The war on the
island, however, has assumed such IL bar
barous phase on both sides that the Uni
ted States Government will probably feel
called upon sin the interest of humanityn
to put stop to the conflict at an early
date. y this would mean n war between
this country and Spain and as the yictors
will exact all indemnity, Cuba will fall
into possession of the United states and
become hourishing commonwealth N n
