nesday night. The reports from Havana
do not bear out the idea that the delay in
transmitting the message was due solely to
fear of an outbreak in that city If decisive
action should be taken by Congress. De-
spatches from that city represented every
thing as entirely peaceful there "Holy
Thursday" was being quietly observed.
Steamers were in readiness to take away
passengers designated by Gen. Lee, but il
was added that "the latter had not decided
when he will send the American citizens
| away"
1t is evident that the situation was being
actively considered in Madrid, but the i'm
preston is given by such dispatches as the
press censorship permits that no hopeful
progress was made. One of the dispatches
says that Gen. Woodford wired that
meeting of the Spanish cabinet was held
but 'no important action was taken, and
it had adjourned without accomplishing
any material step that would lead to any
change in the status, or throw new light
on the situation.n Another Madrid de-
spatch says.
"The outcome of the deliberations was
the adhesion of the government to all its
previous decisions, without modification,
and resolutions to that effect were adopted
A hitch has occurred in the peace negotia-
tions, and the Cuban aImistice proclama-
tion will not be issued tomorrow (Thurs.
day. as expected. This leaves an immense
gap between the United States demands
and what Spain will grant. The morning
newspapers here are unanimous in express
sing the belief that the situation is very
grave"
The European powers, through their
representatives in Washington, addressed
joint note to President Mckinley yester-
day, expressing the hope that peace may
be preserved. The reply of the President
was courteous, but contained a firm and
decided intimatiOn that the United States
will not allow the present conditions in
Cuba to continue. The address and the
reply are given in full elsewhere
OF the situation as it stands today it can
only be said that the understanding is that,
unless Spain makes some important move
toward peace, the Presidents message will
go to Congress next Monday. Decisive ac-
tion will then be taken by that body, but
in just what form remains to be seen. 1t
does not necessarily follow that war, with
active hostilities, will come at once. but if
the ultimatum of our government is, as
now seems probable, that Spain must get
out Of Cuba, war will follow in due course
of time.
Meantime we wait, hoping still for a
peaceful solution.

In Behalf of Peace.
Address Of the Representative of the
European POwers.--President McKin-
ley,s Reply,

Address of the Representative Of the
European nPOwers.--President McKin-
ley's Reply.
The representatives of the six powers of
Europe seeking to avert war between
Spain and the United States called on
President Mckinley yesterday. The dip
lomats gathered in the blue room of the
White House at noon, and President Nc
Kinley at once left his Office and went
down TO meet them. Sir Julian Paunce-
tote as representative of the powers pre-
sented the following to the President:
The undersigned representatives of
Germany, Austria Hungary, France, Great
Britain, Italy, and Russia, duly authorized
in their behalf, address in the name of
their respective governments pressing ap-
peal TO the feelings of humanity and mod
Grafton of the President and of the Amer
ican people in their existing differences
with Spain. They earnestly hope that fur
ther negotiations will lead to an agree
ment, which, while securing the mainte-
nance OF peace, will afford all necessary
guarantees for the reestabls hment of or
der in Cuba. The powers do not doubt
that the humanitarian and purely disinter-
ested character of this representation will
be fully recognized and appreciated by the
American nation"
President Mckinley replied as follows:
The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has prompt
ed the friendly communication of the rep
resentatives of Germany, Austria Hunga-
ry, France. Great Britain, Italy and Rus
sa, as set forth in the address of your ex-
cellencies and shares the hope therein ex-
pressed that the outcome of the situation
in Cuba may be the maintenance of peace
between the United States and Spain by
affording the necessary guarantees for the
reestab.ishment of order in the island. so
terminating the chronic condition of dis
turbance there which so deeply Injuries the
interests, and menaces the tranquility of
the American nation by the character and
consequences of the struggle thus kept up
at our doors, besides shocking its senti-
ment of humanity.
The government of the United States
appreciates the humanitarian and disinter-
ested character of the communication now
made on behalf of the powers named, and
for its part is confident that equal apprecia-
tion will be shown for its own earnest and
unselfsh endeavors to fulfill duty to hui
manity by ending a situation the indefinite
proongation of which has become insult
ferable."

Threat from the Cuban Jun,..

The Cuban Junta in New York, through
its counsel, Horatio S. Rubens, issued
Wednesday formal statement purporting
to be from the Cuban provisional govern
ment, declaring that Cuba would reject alb
solutely Intervention by the United States
unless it should be preceded by recogni-
tion of the independence of the Cuban re-
public; that if the United States inter-
vened in Cuba without recognizing indie
pendence the Cuban army would refuse to
cooperate and would in the last resort turn
its arms against the United States.
The adverse comment occasioned by this
declaration evidently caused Rubens to see
that mistake had been made and he at
tempted to explain away his declaration by
saying he had only meant to say; IF Nc
Kinley, at this late date, should propose
anything which does not look at least, ulti-
mately, to the independence of the island
1t will be opposed by the Cubans. l say
this on the supposition that there is any
chance of McKinley's trying to force au~
tonomy on us, or annexation, without ac-
knowledging us as free.''

The psculiarties Of Vermont politics are such
that the nomination does not come TO the west
side Of the state again tin l9U2 II would be
somewhat early under ordinary circumstances to
consider candidates for that year, but il is none
too early under the circumstances that now ex
ist. For governor in that year. therefore. we
nominate John C. Mccullough Of Bennugtou-a
broadmnded Statesman a learned lawyer. an ell
oquett orator; a citizen worthy OF the highest
honors that state can confer. and man Who
would confer honor upon any Office the state can
give; gentleman as knighty in his sentiments
and bearing as any knight ot I'D: Republican
OF Republicans Vermonter Of Nermonters. and
true man in every fibre Of his being Buriing
ton Netrs.
This is handsomely said, and nobody
will take word of exception to the char
acterization OF Gen. Mccullough. But
the News has to remember that 1902 is
four years away, and four years is a good
while in state politics, sometimes.

A question for serious consid Grafton: Is
any man really fit to be governor of Yer
mont or to represent the state in Con
gress, who allows himself and his official
position to be used as an advertisement for
a patent medicine? The innate sense of
Vermont pride and Vermont dignity has
been humliated, and the innate sense of
propriety of the people of the state has
been offended, times enough in this respect.

The Pope's Proposal of 1nterve

VI HHt0TFeHIIUH'
A New York Sun special from Rome
says: The Vatican magnates are very an
cry at Spain's conduct. The Pope charged
Archbishop Ireland to speak semi-offieially
to President Mckinley in the interests of
peace, and the Archbishop replied that he
had taken the initial steps. The Pope
then notified the Spanish government of
his action. Despite this the dispatches
from Madrid announced that President
Mckinley has sought the Pope's media
tion This untruth has placed the Pope
in false position and damaged Spain's
interests.
1t is understood that President McKin-
ley's answer to the Pope's suggestion was
a very courteous intimation that his good
offices would doubtless be of more avail
in Spain than in this country.

The times recall vividly the anxious
days of 1S61.6j, when Abraham Lincoln,
with determined and far-seeing patience,
tried to lead the American people Alright,
enduring day by day the clamor of the
rabble, and oftentimes the heaped up OBJ
loquy of intelligent and wel-meaning men.
1t is the same service which William Me
Kinley is performing today For SO years
no American citizen has been placed in so
trying place as is he. The people of
Vermont give him their confidence, and
their devout good wishes for a righteous,
and, if it be possible, a peaceful issue out
of all the troubles which beset his way and
the way Of our common country.

Times, being then in a sympathetic and
imaginative mood INDUCED itself last Sat
urday in feicitous pen picture of Col. f.
c. Smith, engaged at St. Adams during the
winter in saving wood and shoveling snow.
This picture lacked only one touch to make
it complete. The Times should have
added, what the event proves to be true to
life, that Col. Smith has also been "cut-
ting ice' during the winter, and that he
seems extremely likely to continue that
useful and profitable occupation until the
Republican state convention meets in June.

I" A rlagic Tree"

Colonel George A. Nolan of Los
Angeles, formerly Public Admins
TRAITOR of Kansas City, a manufac-
turer and man of extensive travel,
tells an interesting story of the
Hawaiian papaya plant or tree. He
has just made investigations that
lead him to believe that it embodieS
many of the virtues heretofore
supposed to dwell in the tabled
fountain of immortal youth. Speak
ing of the marvellous tree that
produces papaya fruit Colonel Nolan
said: "This tree brings forth a
Strengthening melon fruit, not un-
like muskmelon. The juice of the
fruit possesses the quality of dissolv-
ing meat, having strange effect on
muscular fiberS, apparently disinte-
grating them completely. Colonel
John Browler of Honolulu showed
me a tough chicken which became
as tender as a young broiler when
boiled for a few minutes in water to
which few drops of the papaya
juice had been added. If the ma
tiveS are to be believed the same
effect is obtained by hanging a
tough fowl or the meat of a bullock
under the tree in such a way that
the exhalations of papaine permeate
the meat. Great surprises have
been perpetrated on visitors by ma
tives inclined to be wags by making
tough piece of meat tender in a
few minutes by passing it through
water made strong with papaine,
pretending, however, to achieve the
purpose by an incarnation to the
Goddess Pele.
at is a marvellous fact that one
soon becomes accustomed to eating
the fruit, which cures dyspepsia
and adds to ones general health. ,

SITUATION IN Gu BAN WATERS.
Commodore Schley Believed to BE C3
Santiago lie Cuba, with Sampson
Within Striking Distance.

hey WEST, Fla. May 27.-Naval
men say that Commodore Schley is
probably lying off Santiago de Cuba
harhor with the Spanish fleet impriss
oned inside. 1t is known that the
Spanish fleet has war supplies for IIa-
vana, and that that city Is it's objec-
tive point. Every movement of Ad-
mirdl Cervera has shown this.
While it would be improper to
anaiyZe the composition of the
fleets, it may be seen that
Commodore Schley's squadron is still Il
faS moving one, and is believed to be
speedy enough to overtake the Span
iards IN Il race in view of the present
condition of their tiotilla and that the
American scouting boats patrol the
seas and would never permit the Span
iards to get out of sight again.
The imprisonment of Spain's fleet
would practically end Spain's naval
efforts, and most of the American YES
sells could be detailed for operations
against the land defenses. The block
ade of Havana has not been weakened
by reason of massing so many vessels
into two great fleets. Indeed, these
fleets are so handled that they are still
~blo2kading Havana effectuallv.
