the following from Cora, Fremont

visit to the ranch of Wright & Osborne.

down their hay corral and destroyed q
quani;y Of hay. In the morning Mr..
Wright chased them Off, firing his gun

protect his property, but during the day

morning the elk were again at the hay

DECLINED BY SAGASTA,
Spanish Premier Again Refuses the One1
of Friendly Mediation In Cuba.s


of Friendly Mediation tn Cuba.s
CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Premier Sa-
gasta has declined the third offer of
friendly mediation on the part of the
United States. This information was
conveyed in a cipher message received
from Minister Woodford by President
Mckinley on Friday.
The message was most unusual
one. Instead of being addressed to the
secretary Of state it was addressed to
the president. a thing which has not
happened since Consul General Lees
famouse cablegrams to President
Cleveland Of nearly year ago.
This cablegram from Wcodford was
not long, but recited the fact that Pre-
mier Sagasta refused to admit that Spain
had reached the end Of her rope in
Cuba; that she was unable to suppress
the instruction; that autonomy was q
failure; or that she needed the assist
ance of the United States in bringing
the Cuban struggle to an end.

No additional Measures Will
Ever Termina Spanish
Rule in Cuba.
suferings Of the Present War
Have Intensified Existing
Enmity.
Sagasta Again Refuses to Accept
the Friendly Mediation Of
This Country.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 8. - DR.. q. N.
Thomas Of Illinois has just returned
from Cuba. where he has been study
ing existing conditions for several
months past, is now in Cleveland, and
in speaking Of the war said:
The situation from present indica-.
tions is that the war viii continue for
q long time to come. The Spanish will
never grant the Cubans their liberty 40
long as they can possibly help it. The
Spanish are not only . proud but . very
patriotic people. They realize that 400.
years ago they were the greatest and
most powerful nation and ruled one
tenth Of the land Of the globe.
tThe treaty between the Cubans and
Spanish is absolutely ont Of the ques-
ton. The hatred between them was
strong before the war and such terrible
sufferings as both sides have endured
since the war has commenced, has in.
tensified this feeling. The talk Of the
Cubans accepting home rule il simply
ridiculous. Equally absurd il the idea
of Spain granting Oubans home rule, as,
we Americans understand home rule. 4
.'The policy of the Cubans is not to
fight important battles. They justly
say yellow fever is destroying the
Spanish army fast enough. Their plan
is to wear ont Spain financially, and
the Spanish nation is SO weak dnan.
cially that she finds it impossible to
raise the necessary $36, 900, 600 annually
to carry on the Cuban war, and an adj
= AtNeeff n/%n
the interest Of her great debt.
''The reports about the awful suffer-
ing among the Cuban women and chill
dren are to some extent true. In the
large cities the suffering is not nearly 50
great as in the interior of Cuba. In
some towns it is beyond description,
and awful enough to make a strong
mans heart ache, and the longer the
war continues, the greater is the suffer-
ing.'' -. .-,-.'. - ~ ia.
