the Al administration Regarding Cuba.
New YORK, April IA special to
The World from Madrid says: POlit-
zeal and diplomatic circles in Madrid
are anlmatedly discussing the improve
ment Of the prospects of Spanish rule
III Cuba, i'll consequence, 1t Is SAID, OF
an active exchange of confidential and
unofficial communications between the
United States and the Spanish govern
mcnt since Mckinley anil Sherman
took Office.
II seems that Spanish diplomacy has
intimatcd at Washington that Spain
cannot entertain any suggestion OF
American III ediatiOn to obtain the sub
mission of the Cuban insurgents, and
that Spain asks only that the Amerl-
can executive continue to check and
punish %tilibuSter expeditions and sepa-
rat'st Juntas and propaganda whenever
the Spanish legation and consul pro-
duCe sufficient evidence of their exis-
tenCe as was done recently in the case
OF the New York separatist %junta's cor
respondence with instructions TO Cuban
Insurgents.
Spain Could Do the Rest.
Spanish diplomacy was authorized
to give unofficial confidential verbal
assurances that if the American gov
eminent did that much Spain consid.
cred herself quite equal to the task of
reducing the rebellion to such a pass
that the Madrid government will be
justified in the eyes of public opinion
in Spain and the colonies to carry n
West Indian home rule in a very lib
eral spirit, and in its wake extensive
tariff reforms that would make very
easy afterwards a treaty of commerce
between the United States, Cuba and
Porto Rico.
In the same way the American state
department was given to understand
that Spain will in the future deal more
leniently with the Separatists,i and
that when home rule is put in force a
general amnesty will be granted, to
include all rebels submitting within a
certain period, and all political con-
victs, prisoners and suspects, exiled or
transported to Spanish fortresses and
penal settlements, without trial.

other that of John T. Clark, 1922 1th street
southwest
In the case of James ]. Reed a protest
was read from the Golf Club Of the Metro
poiitan Club against the license, the rea-
son being that the close proximity of the
saloon to the starting place OF the stage
created a nuisance. Attorney Frank Madi-
gan appeared in the interest of the appli-
cant and made a strong appeal for the
issuance of the license. The case OF
clark was next called The record in this
case was bad. The applicant was con-
1rcnted by d number of newspaper clip
pings, In which he was charged with as
saGit with intent to kill two men named
Lennox and Perron. Attorney John A.
clarke appeared for the applicant. He ex-
pialned the charges against him and said
MS client had taken the pledge Both

at wards old saloon on 9Th street ad-
Joining Freeman's alley. The excise board

The Ice Palace.-Miss Fanny Davidson,
sister of Mabel Davidson, the champion
lady skater of the world, and herself the
champion of North America, appeared at
the Convention Hall Ice Palace last night
and gave an exhibition of fancy ice skating
which clearly proved her right to the title
she enjoys. This is Miss Davidson's second
appearance in the United States, and while
she does not go into the more extended
movements which characterize her sisters
work on the steels, all of her tricks are as
clean cut and graceful as any one could
imagine, and fully in keeping with her
reputation a champion. All of her
skating is in exact time with the pretty
music which is played for her benefit, and
in this particular feature her work excels
that of her sister Mabel. Miss Davidson is
a pretty blonde, about five feet three inches
in height and her graceful figure bends and
sways with her stroke in the most graceful
manner possible. Her exhibition lasted
about twenty or twenty-five minutes, and
during that time almost every trick known
to the fancy skating world given for
the entertainment of the immense audience
that assembled to greet the newcomer.
Long rolls were the first item, and then
followed the more intricate movements
with small circles and toe spinning, all exc
cuted in a beautifully finished fashion.
Miss Davidson will give exhibitions every
evening at 8 o'clock sharp and Saturday
afternoon at o'clock.
