Mediation Not Practicable.

London. April 5.-The Times says
editorially this morning: II is to be
supposed that President Mckinley gave
some announcement to the idea of pa
pal mediation. but found the country
not likely to accept 1t. The truth is.
mediation and arbitration are very
beautiful theoretically. but very diff
cult In practice. and the differences be-
tween Spain and the United States are
too great and too substantial To be
treated by that rosewater method. The
general drift OF the editorials in the
morning papers is that however desir-
bile peace may be. there IL little hope
left thai the o will succeed, as the
insurgents are not likely to consent to
an armlstice. All the forecasts of Pres
ident McKinley's message regard II as
rather warlike.

MESSAGE IS NOW READY


Clara Barton leaving Cuba for this
country three weeks g was that h
had been called to the United states
by the state department for consulta-
ton regarding the mastering of the
American Red Cross forces for services
In this country and Cuba In case OF
war. The government realized that In
case of hostilities supplies sent by the
United States to the starving Cubans
would be In danger OF falling into the
hands of the Spaniards. II was ar
ranged that all supplies should be
placed in the hands of the Red Cross
society. and in this way Spain would be
bound to leave them alone, because she
is a party to the International treaty
respecting the Red Cross society.

NO HELP FOR SPAIN.
Europe Would Not Intervene with AN
Armed Force.


London. April 5.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times gives a conver-
sation he has had with an m
Spaniard," which is interesting as "A
record OF Spanish ideas In the crisis.
The eminent Spaniard" Is said to have
spoken with some bitterness, express
ing the belief that nowadays 1t is
hopeless for any weak state to expect
help from Europe, m therefore Spain
must rely upon herself" He said,
moreover. European Intervention In the
eyes of the American people would
have no Significance unless IL were
armed and that will never occur, for
all those powers. IL once under arms,
would feel mutual d%istrust, and watch
one another, instead OF joining forces
for "A common result.
THE only consideration which affects
the United States Is their probable
chance of success. They will take no
heed Of anything abroad. Europeans
always fancy that the Intervention Of
Emperor William would have some ef-
feet. and that a dispatch from him to
the president of the United States
would somehow modify McKinley's de-
cision. But his is a mistake. The
Americans would like to have a dis
patch from Emperor William merely
to have the pleasure of refusing what
he asks, and thus marking the proud
disdain they profess for the powers of
old Europe.
How could Europe do anything
against the United States? For forty
five years the principle of flibustering
has been i'm vogue throughout Europe,
and the whole policy of Europe has
been based upon 1t. BY what right
should Europe ~reproach the United
States for doing what she herself has
been doing constantly for nearly half a
century?
Il repeat. that not on Europe should
we count. but on ourselves. on God and
on our right. There is still in Spain
plenty of good gold and plenty of good
blood. and we shall spare neither. I'VE
shall sent all the soldiers we can to
America. III the Americans attempt Ii
they shall not %vanquish the 100000 men,
which is the number we shall shortly
have i'm Cuba.
we shall deal American trade more
rapid and telling blows than America
will ever deal us, for II we cannot cap
ture vessels we can wreck hem If we
succumb, the Americans will soon seize
other European possessions.
II am old the pope is intervening.
The pope remembers the ironical tri-
umph which Prince Bismarck secured
for him over the Caroline islands. but
this time he will find the Americans
madden with pride and scorn OF others
than all the nations of Europe. They
will not heed him more than others,
n nothing will make them hesitate
but the necessity of paying for premd-
itated conquest by mountains of ruins
and torrents of blood"
