been prolific of reports Of mediation on

summary of all the news on this point
is that the powers of Europe cannot
agree and that their in Interference would
be unacceptable to the government OF

Throughout the day unusual activity
was manifest at the for eign embassies
and legations representing the great
powers Of Europe. These rspresenta.
tives are the British ambassador, Sir

bassador went to tho French embassy

situation, and shortly after Count
Vinci was 1t the British embassy.
No Actual o6sr Made.
Again at 3 o'clock it was understood
that the French ambassador and Ans.
trian minister conferred with Sir Julian
at the British embassy. But while
conferences were thus going on and
apprehension was keen over IN antici'
psted move, it could not be learned up
to late hour that any actual offer Of
mediation had evsntuated. Il certainly
had not been made. up to the close Of
Office hours ct the state department.
Tie Spanish minister, Senior Polo ,
Bernabe, did not take part in any Of
the diplomatic conferences, nor did he
have occasion to visit tho state depart.
