CLEVELAND'S FAILURE.

1t failed, through the refusal of the
Spanish government then in power TO con-
slider any form of mediation or indeed any
plan of settlement which did not begin
with the actual submission Of the insur-
gents to the mother country. and then
only on such terms as Spain herself might
see fit to grant. The war continued un-
abated. The resistance of the insurgents
WIS in no wise diminished.

RELIEF OF RECONCENTRADOES

iiIGIGi VI ttGOOlSOIis tlHOOLO
While these negotiations were in pro-
gress the increasing restitution Of the I'M
fortunate reconcentradoes and the alarm
ing mortality among them claimed earnest
attention. The success which had at
tended the limited measure of relief extern
ded to the suffering American citizens
among them by the jUdicious expendi-
ture through the consular agencies, of
the money appropriated expressly for
their succor by the joint resolution ap-
proved May "a, 1897, prompted the hu-
name extension of a similar scheme of
aid 10 the great body of the sufferers.
suggestion to this end was acquiesced in
by the Spanish authorities.
M'K1NLEY'S APPEAL FOR AID.
On the 24th of December last, caused
TO be issued an appeal to the American
people. inviting contributions in money or
in kind for the succOr of the starving suf-
ferers in Cuba, following this on the Sth
of January by a similar public announce
ment of the formation of a central Cuban
relief committee, with headquarters in
New York city, composed of three mem
bers representing the American national
Red Cross and the religious and business
elements of the community. The efforts
Of that committee have been untiring and
have accomplished much ARRANGEMENTS
for free transportation 10 Cuba have
greatly aided the charitable work The
president of the American Red Cross, and
representatives of other contrbutory or
CARNATIONS have generously visited Cuba,
and co-operated with the consul general
and the local authorities TO make effec-
tive distribution of the relief collected
through the efforts of the central com
mittee.
EXTENT OF THE RELIEF.
Nearly $500, 600 in money and supplies has
already reached the sufferers. and more
is Forthcoming. The supplies are admit
ted duty free, and transportation to the
interior has been arranged, so that the
relief. at first necessarily confined to Ha-
vana and the larger cities. is now ex-
tended through most, if not all of the
towns where suffering exists. Thousands
OF lives have already been saved.
WEYLER'S ORDER REVOKED.
The necessity for a change in the con-
dition of the reconcentrados is recogniz-
ed by the Spanish government. Within
few days past, the orders of General Wey-
Ter have been revoked, the reconcentra-
dos are, It is said, to be permitted to re- /
turn TO their homes and aided to resume
the self-suppornng pursuits of peace; pub /
lie works having been ordered to give
them employment. and a sum Of $4,000. /
has been appropriated for their relief.

FRUlTLESS EFFORTS FOR PEACE

III April, 1895. the evils from which our
country suffered through the Cuban war
became so onerous that my predecessor
made an effort to bring about a peace
through the mediation of this government
in any way that might tend to honorable
adjustment of the contest between Spain
and her revolted colony, on the basis Of
some effective scheme Of self-government
for Cuba under the flag and sovereignty

civilized practice of warfare. shocked the
sensibilities and offended the humane
sympathies of our people.
RAVAGED BY FIRE AND SWORD.
Since the present revolution began, in
February, 1885. this country has seen the
fertile domain at our threshold ravaged
by fire and sword in the course OF a strug-
gle unequaIled in the history OF the island
and rarely paralelled as to the number OF
combatants and the bitterness of the con-
test by any revolution of modern times
whore a dependent people. striving 10 be
free have been opposed by the power OF
the sovereign state. Our people have be-
held a once prosperous community reduced
10 comparative want, its commerce viz
tually paralyzed, its exceptional produc-
tiveness diminished, its fields laid waste,
its mills in ruins. and its people peushing
by tens Of thousands from hunger ana

AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
I'VE have found ourselves constrained,
in the observance of that strict neutrality
which our laws enjooin and which the law
OF nations commands, to police our own
waters and watch our own seaports in
prevention of any unlawful act in aid Of
the Cubans. Our trade mas suffered; the
capital invested by our citizens in Cuba
has been largely lost, and the temper and
of our people have been so
sorely tried as to beget a perilous unrest
among our own citizens which has newt
ably found its expression from time to
time in the national Legislature so that
issues wholly external TO our own body

way of that close devotion TO domestic

ed commonwealth whose primal maxim
has been the avoidance OF all foreign en-
All this must needs awaken,
and has indeed aroused, the utmost con-
Germ on the part of this government as

In the first game the Philadelphia players took
the lead in the opening inning. and they held the
advantage to the eighth. In fact, the visitors

inning. up TO that time the home team had not
succeeded In sending a man around the circuit In
this inning. however. couple OF hits and a rdicu-
lousy wild throw by Cross were instrumental In
giving the New-York team three In tho
eighth inning Cross again came to New York :
rescue and another error passed ball and three
hits gave the home players three more and
the game.
Doyle and Seymour can be credited with winning
tho second game. With the score tied in tho sixth
inning Seymour hit to left for two bases and
scored on a hit by Doyle. Then the game was
called, as II WAS too dark to play any longer.
