ment In Spain. The former administra-
tlon. which pledged subjugation without
concession. gave place to that OF a more
liberal party. committed long In advance
TO policy OF reform involving the wider
principle Of home rule for Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The overtures OF this government made
through Its new envoy, General Wood
ford. and loking TO an immediate effective
amelioration OF the condition OF the
island. although not accepted to the ex-
tent OF admitted mediation in any shape

offered TO Cuba. without waiting for the
war TO end. and that more humane meth
DDS should thenceforth prevail 10 the con-
duct OF hostilities.
Incidentally with these declarations the
new government OF Spain continued and
completed the policy already begun by
Its predecessor OF testifying friendly re-

The extraordinary activity that charac-
terized the second year Of the war, when
the insurgents Invaded even the hitherto

into dogged struggle in the central and
