Pope tn Mediate.

London, April 6.-The Madrid CORE
spondent Of the Morning Post says: An
announcement hat the pope's action
was not at President McKinlcy's request
has been communicated to the press.
The government has also admitted It's
error to United States Minister Wood
ford, expressing regrets hat the mis-
understanding arose. General Wood
ford has accepted the explanation as
satisfactory and the matter, which
might have led to serious complica-
tions. has been settled So far as the W
governments are concerned.
The withdrawal mas, however,.

public view President McN'nleys sup
posed solicitation of msdia.iol natu-
rally created an impression very sat

move the necessity of making those
words good by action.

Efforts OF the Pope Failed.

London. April 6.-The Rome CORE
spondent OF the Daily News says:
Both the pope and Cardinal Rampol-
la, papal secretary, declare that they
never had made any illusions about
mediation, knowing that the United
States would reject IL. and that any
way II would cause i'll feeling. In
fact. the vatican has received several
dispatches from prominent Americans,
saying the Intervention of the pope
might seriously retard the progress Of
Catholicism in America. The pope's
only object now Is to gain time, so mat
10Th Spain and America may reflect.
Il have Ii also that influential pre-
lates at the vatican consider 1t well for
the church and the prestige OF the
papacy that the undertaking of the
pontiff proved abortive. They think
that II Leo had been appointed mediator
he would have found himself I'm a deli
cate position, as because of his own
known affection for Spain, and being
godfather of King Alfonso, he would
have been open to a suspicion OF SYM
pathy with Spain. and unless the indie
pendence of Cuba had been granted the
limited States would have been dlssatis-
fled. He would have found a great OBJ
stacle also i'm having to declare for OF
against the Monroe doctrine.
Strange to observe. while the inter
vention of the pope, no matter how
noble or generous. is considered by out
slders a failure, at to-day's weekly re-
ception of the diplomatic body by a
dinal Rampolla he received and accept
ed congratulations on the popes pro-
ceedings at Washington.
cardinal Rampolla himself asserted
that these proceedings had had the re-
suit of delaying President Mckinley:
message. and he made 1t understood
that negotiations were continuing with
a prospect of obtaining an armistice II
Cuba. 1t il announced that the pope
in order to set the real truth before ths
world, will in due time publish a history
of the hole affair.
