UNITED STATES MEDIATION.
u Would Occasion No Surprise u spain
should Ask for Our Good Of
fees In Cuba.

WASHINGTON, March 1G-Spain is
face to face with the question OF ac-
ceptance of mediation by the United
States. 1t would occasion no surprise
here II, through Minister Woodford at
Madrid or Minister Polo at Washing
ton, Spain should within very short
time express her desire for the exer-
else OF the good offices of this country.
Spain has gone TO the limit in making
concessions. She has offered to sur
render to Cuba all but the sovereignty.
The insurgents will not consider the
terms, because they suspect the sim
cerity of the mother country. Hence
Spain Is confronted with the neces-
sity of asking the United States
to step In and negotiate for
her or see autonomy finally rejected by
the insurgents and independence rec
ognized by the United States.
