THE POPE HOPES FOR DELAY,
SO That Both Spaiu-and America May
hive Time For Rcflcction.

Have Time For Reflection.
Rome, April 6.-Both the pope and
Cardinal Rampolla papal secretary of
state, declare that they never had any
illusions about mediation, knowing
that the United States would reject it.
and that, any way, it would cause bad
blood between Catholics and Protest
ants there. In fact the Vatican has
received several dispatches from prom
inent Americans saying that the in
tervention Of the pope might seriously
retard the progress Of Catholicism in
America.
The pope's only object now is to gain
time, so that both Spain and America
may reflect 1t is also asserted that
influential prelates at the Vatican CON
slider it is well for the church and the
prestige of papacy that the undertake
ing of the pontin proved abortive. They
think that if Leo had been appointed
mediator he would have found himself
in a delicate position, as because of his
known affection for Spain, and being
godfather to King Alfonso, he would
have been open to a suspicion Of sym
pathy with Spain, and unless the inde-
pendence of cuba had been granted the
United States would have been dis
satisfied He would have found a great
obstacle also in having to declare for
or against the Monroe doctrine.
Strange to observe, while the inter
ventOn of the pope, no matter how
noble and generous, is considered by
outsiders a failure, at yesterdays
weekly reception of the diplomatic
body by Cardinal Rampolla he received
and accepted congratulations on th'
pope's proceedings at Washington
Cardinal Rampolla asserted that thes,
proceedings had had the result of de
ferrng President McKinley's message
and he made it understood that nego
tiations were continuing, with pros
| pect of obtaining an armistiCe in Cuba

| the real truth before the world, win II

LEES INSTRUCTIONS.
The Government Arranges for "A Quick
Exodus From Cuba.

Washington, April 6.-The wires between
this point and Havana were kept busy to-
day. Instructions were sent to Gen. Lee yes
terday that all Americans must be on board
the steamers at their disposal at halfpast IL
o'clock this afternoon. Gen. Lee may also
return at this time, but it is not probable.
1t is likely that Gen. Lee will remain in
Havana until every American who wants to
leave has gone. He has made arrangements
for transferring the consular archives to the
care of the British Consul in Havana and fol
seeking an asylum with that official should
relations between Spain and the United
States be severed before he has left his post
