tie DOUBT that the relief would have been
forwssded at any cost. even the cost Of
war, N the administration has felt that
a war in behalf Of . humane object would
command the universal Appreciation o. the
world
Another important Spanish document
which reached the government during the
day was the abasrzct Of the report Of the
Spanssf nava. commission which invest
gated the destruction Of the Maine X h
the only answer Spain has thus far made
to the action Of this government In sub
mstting to Spain through Minister Wood
ford the findings OF the American court
The conclusions reached by the Spanish
commission are directly opposite TO those
of the American court No demands have
been made in connection with the Maine.
and therefore there Ii no response beyond
the submission of the Spanish report
Following the call Of the Spanish min
lister at the stare department, the French
ambassador. ~. Camden. had . confer
ence with Judge Day. This renewed the
talk OF European mediation. which Is as
Stunning tangible form. The speech Of Pre-
mier Hanotaux in the Paris chamber last
Saturday is looked upon az fOreshadowing
1t least sympathy IL not direct steps to-
ward mediation by France and other con-
tinental powers. There Is good reason 20
believe Spain is ready and anxious for this
move. and has been encouraging it at the
European capitals. 1t would not be an
offensive intrusion, but more a friendly
offer to mediate the differences which have
recently threatened TO terminate in war
between the United States and Spain. 1t
IL understood that UP to the present NJ.
Camden has not received any definite in
structious to take the initiative in such q
question.
After the adjournment Of the house to-
day. there was considerable discussion
over a proposed consolidation Of the forces
in the house who favor some form Of TN
mediate action on the Cuban issue.
There was a strong feeling shown over
TIE aVOldanee III the message Oh any out
line of any definite administration policy,
and decided disposition apparent not to
await any further delay nor resort to tenn
porizing measures
The project to furnish ad infinituua relief
supplies to the Cuban aon-cornbatants Is
meeting with opposition, to which men,
hers on both sides OF the house have given
voice in private discussion. on the ground,
first, that Spain aicre Is responsible for the

tnued aid abroad Is unjust to the people OF
this country.
The steps taken today on this line were
