Sagasta, who said-in response to
queries: "You ask me if the Liberal
party would assent to mediation by
the United States with a view to has
tening the pacifcation of Cuba and in
ducing the rebels in arms and the exiles
to accept autonomy. Why should we
need mediation when our intentions
long and often expressed by the Liberal
party-aim atjreaizing all that America
could suggest?
"No Spanish party, certainly not the
Liberals, could assent to foreign inter
ference, in our; domestic affairs or
with our colonies. No 81 government
could hope to induce the nation to ac'
cept such interference. I.,s, ur.. ....,rC

And "a little brown birdie up in tree
As sure as you live kept a-saying to ma,
''Naugh-tee May ran away
Til I didn't know what TO do.
Now. how do you s'poso he knew?
And once We went 10 the meadow brook,
Josie and me. with a fishing hook,
And the very same birdie sang again,
Over and over. and just as plain,
"Naugh-tee May ran away!'
And Josie she heard him too;
Now. how do you s'posc no knew?
Josie. she guesscs what ] heard
Was Just my conscience stead Of bird;
But tho water looked so scowly and

We took hold OF hands and ran right

And all the way we heard II say
THAT Is the best thing to do
And mama-she said so too.
