A New York woman has written 10

politan Traction company requesting
that the company provide smoking
cars for women, so that they may en-.

Former Effort To Mediate.

In April, 1896, the evils from which
II country suffered through the Gu
ban war became so onerous that my
PREDECESSOR made an effort to bring
out peace through mediation of this
government in any way tending to an
honorable adjustment of the contest
between Spain and her revoited colony
on the basis of some effective scheme
of self government for Cuba under the
flag and sovereignty of Spain. IL failed
through the refusal of the Spanish gov
ernment then in power to consider any
form Of mediation, or, ineed, any plan
OF settlement which did not begin with
the actual submission of the insur-
gents TO the mother country, and then
only on terms that Spain might see tit
to grant. The wal continued undated
and the resistance of the insurgents
was in no wise diminished. The ef-
forts of Spain to increase it's reign of
terror both by the dispatch of fresh
lcvies to Cuba and by the addition to
the horrors of the strife of a new and

Christian peoples. The policy of dew
