GREAT POWERS WANT A SAY

MADRID, April THE best inform
ed people here believe that an armistice
between the Spanish and Cubans will
be- proclaimed within two days. The
Pope sent an eloquent telegram to the
Queen Regent, urgiog Spain. to grant
an armstice in Cubo, in view OF allow
ing negotiations to he carried on be-
tween the insurgents and the Cuban
authorities for an early conclusion Of
permanent peace. The Pope urged her
majesty to take action on humane
grounds. Previous to taking this
action the Pope, through a representa>
tive at Washington, asked President
Mckinley if it would be, agreeable
to him should the Pope advise the
Queen Regent to grant an armistice. 1t
is understood the President expressed
a willingness the Pope should do any
thing in his power.
Senor Moret minister for the colonies,
had an interview with United States
Minister Woodford Sunday, at which
be expressed Spain's willingness to
grant an immediate. armisiice. The
Correspondencia says: "Spain's reply to
the Pope, in accepting mediation, said
the honor of Spain would be safe in his
hands and full justice be doDe.'
MADRID, April 4.-The Pope has sent
9 telegram urging the Queen to grant
an arnistice in Cuba in view, of nego-
tiations now reported as going on be-
tween the insurgents and Cuban
authorities for an early conclusion of
peace. The Pope dealt with suffering
on the island and urged action on
and non political grounds.
1t is claimed by the Spanish authori-
ties that an armistice may yet be ar
ranged between them and the Cubans,
only one single condition remaining
open to discussion. 4

WASHINGTON, d., G, April 4.--Au
official in consultation with the .Presi>

the United States and Spain had agreed
to select the Pope rs mediator and that
the Pope had accepted, said with en-
phasis:s The President has never been
Asked to submit the dispute to the
Pope and he certainly has never made
such an offer. Spain and the Pope
may have been negotiating but that
does not affect US. You can deny the
story officially and in. the fullest possi-
bic manner" From another source it
was learned the efforts Of the Pope
tended toward mediation between the
Spanish and the insurgents. rather
than between Spain and the United
States. q A.sg
