PAPAl INTERVENTION.

Madrid. April s, II p. m.-Senor Gull
Ion. the foreign minister, has held sew
eral conferences with the ambassadors
of the powers. Rumors have been cir
culated that the failure of the pope's
efforts was owing to the attitude OF
the United States. The nunciature
here has issued the following note:
The nunciature has to-day higher
hopes than ever of the success of papal
Intervention. II is not true that Presi-
dent Mckinley has rejected the pope's
intervention i'm favor of peace. Such
impoliteness would be the more inn
polite. not only because. however much
any person might be the pope's enemy.
IL would be impossible to misinterpret
the voice of the venerable old nan who
recommends the preservation of peace.
on the other hand. the Catholics Of
North America would never pardon
such a disregard of the vicar general OF
their church."
Thu general tone Of the evening pa
pers is one of satisfaction at the inter
ference of the European powers as
showing that the latter realize Spain's
determined attitude against further
concessions to America. Some doubt
Is expressed. however. as to the result
OF the intervention. lest the European
court pea the Cretan performance.

independence and Intervention, or the
Latter Without the Former.
Washington, April s.-The steering
committee appointed by the conference
of house republicans last Wednesday
to the situation to see how
many republicans would stand by them
II the occasion arose for immediate ac-
ton and I'm a general way decide on a
course of procedure held another meet
ing this afternoon. From the reports
presented IL was claimed that more
than 100 republicans will act with them.
The main question before the commit
tee was as to whether they should
stand for independence and interview
ton or for intervention without indie
p~endence. The feeling OF the committee
has been strongly in favor of the rec
osnition of the Cuban republic, but
they 10 not desire to break with the adj
ministration except as a last resort.
Meantime some of them are much exer-
cised over the legal phases of the eff
feet of Intervention without independ-
ence. A fear was expressed among the
members that Intervention by the Unit
ed States ight bind the United States
for the $500. 600. 900 of Spanish Cuban
bonds issue against the revenues of
the island. Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota
stated before the committee that some
writers on international law maintained
that i'm case of the requirement OF ter
ritory by conquest all the local bliga
lions of that particular territory are
assumed. and IL was argued that If the
United States ~intervenes with the ulti-
mate intention of turning over the ISL
m TO the Cubans. the United states
would practically have acquired the
island by conquest and then conferred
IL as a gift upon the Cubans.
In this view of the case the United
States might be held liable for the
bonds The sentiment Of the commit
tee is against the United States assum-
ing such possible liability. Others. like
Mr.. Hopkins OF Illinois. do not think
Mr.. Tawney's contention tenable. He
argues that the bonds were issued by
Spain and the revenues of Cuba
pledged as security. If Spain loses
Cuba as a result of war, the security
Of the bondholder is simply gone.
Spain's liability remaining. But the
committee lacked light on the subject.
The international authorities Mill be
looked up by members of the commit
tee tonight and attempts will be made
TO ascertain exactly in what way the
bonds are a lien OF the Cuban revenues.
Tomorrow the committee will meet
again. and Senator Davis of Minnesota.

New York. April s.-A dispatch to
