dates for town officers in Hyde Park, Lake

M'kINLEY TO THE POPE.
Alleged Message Declining the Pom
tif's Intervention.

LONDON, April 5.--A dispatch from Rome
published here this afternoon says a tele-
gram received at the Vatican from the
United States has announced the failure
of the Pope's intervention. 1t says that
President Mckinley showed himself ex-
tremeIy sensible of the initiative taken by
the Pontiff, but it was impossible for him
to overcome the prejudice, even though it
may be unjust, entertained by majority
of the American people against the Vati-
cans Intervention in political affairs. Presi-
dent Mckinley is alleged to have also said
that he was opposed to war now as in the
past and would still do all possible to avoid
having recourse to such a lamentable eX-
pedient" which he considered to be "un-
worthy of civilized countries, but he could
not do so against the sentiment of the Ma
ton. which claimed the independence of
Cuba. and a cessation of the horrors which
have been going on for three years III that
unhappy island.
According to another special dispatch
from Rome the Pope is disappointed at the
reception Of his overtures In America, but
is not discouraged The dispatch adds:
''rrhis morning his Holiness sent a cable or
800 words to Archbishop Ireland urging in
creased efforts in the interest of peace and
further immediate representations to Presi-
has been called for this afternoon. Arch
hishon Keane and Mgr. O'Connell Will at
tend. The Pope's initiative is based wholly
on the fact that Spain when she asked Tor
the good offices of the powers aiso ashSu
for the Pope's good offices. The interposl-
ton of the Pontiff has thus far been con-
fined to efforts to bring about an armistlce

thing is certain, the necessity for ending
this ambiguous situation, which, if pro-
longed, ruins Spain as well as loses Cuba.
The nation will stand more delay.
Whatever it may be, there must be an i'm

is further proof Of the Pope's love for
Spain in the mediation initiative. Continu-

SILENT Ar THE VATICAN.
Authorities Will Say Nothing About
McKiuIey's Alleged Note.

ROME. April 5.-The Vatican authorities
this evening absolutely refused to furnish
any information relative to the dispatch
which President Mckinley is said to have
sent to the Pope on the subject of the lat
ters mediation with Spain and in which the
President was represented as having out
lined his views on the Cuban situation. The
clerical organ, the Osservatore Romano, is
equally silent.
There was an active exchange of tele-
grams this afternoon between the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs, Senior Gulon,
at Madrid, and Mons. Merry Del Val, the
Pope's private chamberlain, with the view
OF drawing up, with the consent of the Pope,
the exact terms of the armistice for Cuba.
which will be proposed, il is said, by the
Pope Immediately after the terms are drawn
up. and the hope is expressed al the Vatican
that it will be agreed to by the authorities
at Washington. In clerical circles it APP
pears to be understood that President Nc
l<inley may bring pressure TO bear on the
insurgents to induce them TO accept an
arnisIice and it is understood the Holy
See will then exert similar influence through
the episcopacy in Cuba. 1t is hoped here
that the arrnstice proposed will be definite
ly drawn tomorrow or Thursday.
