COJNTERFElTER'S CAVE.

Discovered on Small Island in In
diana.
Bristol, Ind, April 13.-Two deputy
United States marshals are taking
turns at watching an island in st.
Johns river, in the northeastern part
of Elkhart county, on which subter-
ranean counterfeiter' den has been
located. The cave was discovered a
few days ago by two boys, who, while
boating on the river, had landed on
the island. The subterranean chamber
is about 20 feet square and 1S feet
high. 1t was well ceiled with small
saplings and plank. A door on either
side opened into two smaller rooms.
Immediately under hollow stump
was a sort of furnace, which got its
draft through the entranceway. Double
hunks for eight persons were against
one side of the room and on the table
were dishes and cooking utensils. A
chest with complete set of counter
feiters' tools was found, and piles of
spurious gold and silver coins of vari.
GUS denominations. The coins repre-
sented face value of a little more
than $4,000.
The agents of the government who
have visited the place say the workshop
was evidently that of men of means.
There was found in the cave the pock-
etbook of William Crumpacker, a
wealthy man living near Bristol, who
was murdered year ago. His muir.
derers have never been discovered.

BROUGHT TO A CRISIS.
The President Said to Have Addressed
Note to Spain.

Chicago, April ia dispatch to
the Tlmes-Herald from Washington
saws:
AT last President Cleveland has taken
action i'll behalf of Cuba. He has
made to Spain formal proposition
that the good offices of the United
States be accepted in mediation be-
tween that country and her rebellious
colony i'll the West Indies. This
proposition was made in cablegram
of instructions to our minister at Mad
rid, 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-
zuela boundary question was sent last
summer. 1t brings to a crisis the rela-
tlons between the United States and
Spain, which have been unsettled
since the outbreak of the Cuban rebel
lion.
The note Thoroughly explains the
attitude 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
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 about peace
in Cuba.
Second-The note recalls the corre-
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, though declining
to accept it, proposed certain reforms in
Cuba. The fact that the United
States was in part instrumental in
bringing about that settlement, and the
charge that the Spanish government
had not kept its promises are given as
the reasons why the United State now
has right to be heard in the case.
Third-lt is pointed out that the
present rebellion in Cuba has assumed a
much more serious aspect than any
former insurrection the insurgents hav-
ing apparently taken possession of the
island, except Havana, and small Sec
tion round about.
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 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 gov
ernment will see its way to granting re.
form 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 to be dis.
cussed after Spain shall have expressed
a Willingness to accept mediation.

The BULLETIN publishes the fol-
lowing by request of Mrs. Athey,
Secretary of Idaho Equal Suffrage
Club;
Mr.. s. A. Pattisen, publisher of
the Emmett Index, says: "The I'M
happy condition in which our coun-
try is found today after one hun
bred and twenty years of rule by us
men, the so called lords of creation,
can certainly not be'made more so
by granting to the wives and
mothers and daughters of America
the right to voice in the conduct
of the affairs of state at the ballot
box. To my mind, a blush of
shame should sufluse the cheek of
every true American when he thinks
of the conditions, as they now exist,
which elevate the ignorant negro,
the lazy worthless Indian, the "hea-
then Chinee," and the serum and
biff securing of every European ma
ton, to a higher plane, politically,
than is accorded to the pure, true,
patriotic women of America. There
are those who tel us that woman
would lose of womanliness by con-
tact with with politics. Why then
do not the thousands of noble
women who go upon missions OF
mercy among the unfortunate and
the fallen. who mingle with the
most depraved classes in this sub
lime effort to lift humanity into the
sunlight of purity and hope, lose of
their purity and womanliness by
such contact? The fact is that the
tendency of pure, sweet, noble
womanhood is to elevate, aud in
these progressive states in which
she has already been granted the
right of full and complete citizen
ship, she has always been found
voting on the side of right and JUS
tice and humanity, and for that
reason if for no other, ! favor the
full acknowledgements of every Ameri-
can woman at the earliest possible
time"
