MEDIATION NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THIS
GOVERNMENT.
-ONFTRESCEs AMONG THE DIPLOMATS ~ WASH
1NGTON WHICH CAME TO NOTHING

INGTON WHICH CAME TO NOTHING.
Washington. April 1.-The day has been pro-
lGc Of reports Of mediation on the part Of the
European Powers. but summary Of all the news
on this point is THAT the Powers cannot agree.
and that their interference would be unacccpt-
able TO the CO, eminent OF the United States.
The recall of General Lee. and the ccrsuls and
other Americans in Cuba is a matter of concern
to the State Department. but adviccs from Cen
eral Lee indicate that this would take some
time and apparently showed that he did not
share fully in thc apprehension felt here
Throughout the day unusual activity was
manifest at the foreign Embassies and Lega-
uons representing the great Powers 0f Europe.
These representatives. are the British Anbassa-
cor Sir Julian Pauncefotc; the French Am
bassaiOr. N. Cdmbon the German Ambassa-
dor Dr. Won Holleben: the Italian Charge
d'Affa!res. Count Ninci and the Austrian Min
ster Mr.. Won Hengelmuller. These officials
were kept fully advised from their Foreign
Offices. and II expected that a concerted
movement would be made at almost any mo-
ment.
About midday the British Ambassador went to
the French Embassy and conferred with NJ.
Cambon on the situation. and shortly afterward
Count Vinc was at the British Embassy. Again
at ) o'clock it understood that the French
Ambassador and he Austrian Minister conferred
with Str Julian at the British Embassy But
while conferences were thus going on and appre-
EensioA was keen over anticipated move. II
could not be learned up to a late horr that any
actual offer of mediation had resulted. II GER
tainly had not been made up 10 the close or
Office hours at The State Department
Tn" German Ambassador. Or. Won Helleben'
appears to be the only not actively par
ticipaiing in the conferences today but there
is reason to believe he IS kept fully advised on
the sentiments at Berlin concerning the span
ish situation Accompanying the diplomatic
comment was an undercurrent Of suggestion
that developments In Cuba We're not unlocked
FOR and that the pressure OF the Powers ana
the Pope on Spain might yet bring about an
arnistice in which both Spanish troops and IN
surgents would participate. From the official
point os view here the time for that has gone
hy. and there IS little likelihood that the insur-
gents could be induced 10 lay down their arms
even FOR time.
The Spanish Minister. Sef-or Polo de Rernahe.
did not take part in any Of the diplomatic CON
fercnces nor did he have occasion to Vist the
state Department during the day. If the nego-
tlations have taken any new direction it has
been between Minister Woolford and the au-
thorities at Madrid and not at Washington.

II IS practically settled that the President VIII

Immediate recognition OF Cuban independence.
