interview just obtained. said the Spanish
government was expecting the speedy ar.
rival OF q note from the Vatican, in which
The pope would indicate the plan ne pro
posed to terminate the present situation.
In regard 10 the efficacy Of mediation.
Senior GuIlon said:
1T is recalled that Americans proni-
nently participated in the pope's jubilee
and presented him with SPLENDID gift
The pope was profoundly moved at the
great manifestations OF respect and said
70 them that he eagerly awaited the op-
portunity to show his recognition. This
remark has been regarded by some as in
dica-ing an inclination upon the part OF
The pope to favor the American side, but
this conclusion is easily disproved by the
known impartiality the pope mas always
displayed in his public acts. AID By the
intimate friendship he has always exhi5-
tied towards Spain. Moreover. the Span
ism government has made his mediation
conditional upon the honor and integrity
Of the territory Of Spain being guard
ed. Should the pope propose an arms
tee, clearly the insurgents should ask
for It.
Anyway, whatever may be the plan Of
mediation. 1t will comprise the cessation
Of the war in Cuoa.
IN regard 70 the point OF view Of the
other nations, with perhaps the fewest ex-
ceptions all would regard with confidence
the pope's mediation"
Madrid, April 300 D. m.-This has
been another day OF conferences, cabinet
and forth, and many of them. including
the British charge d'affaires, calling at
the United States legation. At this hour
there seems TO be every Indication OF the
United States securing what she asked
for at last weeks conferences, and which,
in spite of counter proposals. have been
the sole basis for American negotiations.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, on leaving
the palace, after an audience with the
queen regent. announced 20 the newspaper
representatives that the rumors of cabi-
net dissensions in regard to the crisis
were absolutely unfounded. Senior Sa-
gasta added that no cabinet council would
be necessary today, unless fresh informa-
ton came to hand from Rome or Wash
ington. the Spanish government today
having received no dispatches except the
telegram from the Spanish minister at
Washington, Senior Polo V Bernabe. giving
the tone of American public opinion and
diplomatic rumors.

mittee on foreign relations was prompt in

message should be received. There was
great Impotence over the delay. on the
part Of some OF the members of the COM
N lice, notably Senator Frye, who has
urged that every day Of postp0nement
was 50 much valuable time lost. These
senator's wanted 70 report on Monday and
they we're restrained with great difficulty
on the promise that the message would be
sent IN today. Other members Of the com
