POPE TAKING A HAND.
Exerting Influence at Washington to
Dissuade Us From War.

London, March 15.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes a dis
patch from Rome which says there has
been a recent exchange of communica-
lions between the vatican and Spain in
regard to Cuba, and the relations with
the United States. The pope, it is
added, is ready to do all in his power
to prevent hostilities which might be
fatal TO the Spanish dynasty
Continuing, the dispatch says: 1.-THE
vatican has especially exerted influence
at Washington, and has tried directly
and indirectly to dissuade the United
States from plunging into war with
Spain. According to information, if the
offices of the pontiff are accepted, he
viii propose that Cuba remain under
the domination of Spain, but that it be
ruled on the lines of an English col
ony."

FOREIGN INTERMEDDL1Ne.
Intentions Give the Admin
istration No Concern.

Washington. March 14.-Not much con-
Germ is expressed by officers of the adj
ministration over the reported intention
of European governments. at the instiga-
ton of Austria. to intervene between the
United States and Spain in the settlement
of the questions pending between them.
So far, it has been stated that this has
taken no official shape. OF. at least, no
Indications of such design have reached
the state department. What the attitude
of our government would be il represen-
tatonS in that line We're addressed to it
by European powers was a question that
the officials actually do not care to an
swer in anticipation. The suggestion that
the Spanish government has protested
against the sale by Brazil of the two
cruisers to the United States likewise
fails to cause any feeling of concern, the
naval officers holding that there can be
no question of the right of the United
States to increase its navy.

London cablegram to the Evening Post

The general English comment upon

that this was only TO be expected from

Moreover there is the emperOr's well
known dread Of the possible future
