The foregoing, including the last

States until the CGrtes assembl.
Then counter proposition is sub
mitted that the Cuban matter shall
be settled upon basis equitable among
nations. The United States is asked to
give Spain time to treat with the in

Senators who know the nature of the
reply say it is a very shrewd piece of
diplomacy and made for its effect upon
the world at large 1t is said the re-

be satisfactory to Congress.
Administration officials feel that af-

matters into its own hands, and fear
is expressed that there will be a dis
agreement between the branches of the
Government, which would be unfor-
tunate at this critical period.
No one at the Capitol has under
taken to speak for the President, al

that his hopes of a peaceful solution
of the difficulty have been disappointed

Yestsr- day when the deg was in the dining room dozing the noise of three-cor- nered cat fight in the back yard reached its ears It started for the kitchen window at full spsed and made a flying leap for it's usual seat.
 Mrs. Callan gave a shriek when she SAW that Jim had jumped too far and
 had plunged through the open window.
 She covered her face with her hands and waited to hear the dogs death yell
 when it struck the pavement Sh
 waited in vain, and was beginning
 think that the dog had bsen instantly killed whsn she heard cheering. Sha ran to the window and looked cut.
 There was a crowd forming a ring around Jim and three big cats. Just as Mrs. Callan reached the window Jim put the cats to flight, and after chasing thsm ever the fence returned to the crowd, barking for joy and wag- ging his tail Mrs. Callan hurried down stairs, and picking up Jim found that in some miraculous manner the deg had escaped without scratch. Callan is going to put a screen in the back window fer fear that Jim will try to repeat the leap in the evsnt Of an- other cat fight. And in his opinion a cat fight is sure to happsn whie sec ond escape for Jim is, to put it mildly, prcb,ematical.
