WAR MUST END.


an armistice until Oct. l for the negotia
ton of peace with the good offices of the
President In addition l asked the imme-
date revocation of the order of reconcen-
tration so as to permit the people to return
to their farms and the needy to be relieved
with provisions and supplies from the
United States, cooperating with the Span
ish authorities, 50 as to afford full relief.
The reply of the Spanish Cabinet was re-
ceived on the night of the 31st ult 1t offers
as the means to bring about peace in Cuba
to confde the preparation thereof to the in
suIar parliament, inasmuch as the con-
currence of that body would be necessary
to reach q final result, it being, however
understood that the powers reserved by the
Constitution to the central government are
not lessened or diminished. AS the Cuban
Parliament does not meet until the 4th of
May next, the Spanish government would
not object, for its part, to accept at once
a suspension of hostiIities if asked for by
the insurgents from the general-in-chief to
whom it would pertain in such case to de-
termine the duration and conditions of the
armistiee.
The propositions submitted by General
Woodford and the reply of the Spanish gov
eminent were both in the form of brief
memoranda, the texts of which are before
me and are substantially in the language
above given. The function of the Cuban
Parliament in the matter of preparing
peace and the manner of it's doing so are
not expressed in the Spanish memorandum,
but from General Woodfords explanatory
reports of a preliminary discussion preced-
ing the final conference it is understood
that the Spanish government stands ready
to give the insular congress full powers to
settle the terms of peace with the insur-
gents, whether by direct negotiation or in
directly by means of legislation does not
appear. With this last overture in the di-
rection of immediate peace and it's disap-
pointing reception by Spain the executive
was brought to the end of his effort

Margaret Mather stories are coming and a writ
er in the Memphis Commercial Appeal relates an
interesting "reminiscences illustrating the Well
known high temper of the actress. After she
broke with j. M. Hill and married the Union
Square Theater orchestra leader the bographer
says: '.Mr. Haberkorn was a peaceable and mod
est individual to have such fiery wife, and in
less than eight months after the honeymoon she
ran him into the street with poker, and di-
torce followed. In 1888, while on a tour with q
production of Joan of Arc, Miss Mather married
q. G. Pabst. This was at Salt Lake City. In
the season previous she had successfully run Eben
Plympton, Lawrence hanley and FREDERICK Panld-

attacks. Plympton carried a flesh wound in his
arm made by the long sword she carried as Joan.
Otis Skinner subdued her. He the fourth

she married Pabst and retired from the stage"
