The second attempt to secure peace
was that Of April t4-15 1888. following
President McKinley's message 20 Congress
concerning the troubles with Spain. This
was initiated by Austria but all the Pow
ers declined to Join. holding that Joint
Efforts toward maintaining peace had been
exhausted in the expression made to the
President by the Ambassadors on April z
No encouragement whatever was given to
the Austrian proposition by any power
and il was abandoned
Pressure on spain.
Later there was another proposal made
to the Powers which sought to induce
the United States 10 forego hostiIfties
This was directed as much TO Spain as 20
the United States. the object being 20
persuade the two countries TO come to an
adjustment Of their difficulties without
resort TO arms. One Of the main purposes
Of this movement which was attributed
10 the Pope, was TO induce Spain to make
concessions TO the United States 10 avoid
war. No sGccess attended the movement
The Powers paid no attention to Il.
No other than these thr e efforts was
made for peace. The hrSt was the only
one that secured consideration in the cap
itals Of the Powers but no nation except
Austria was willing to 90 further than
merely express the hope that hostiIities
might be avoided.
Mr. Mckinley Answer Final.
President McKinley's answer to the
Ambassadors April z. was taken as hnal
and after that there was no danger Of any
European combination against this Gov
ernmect"
To another authoritative quarter the
opinion was expressed that IL the Powers
had believed that the United States in
tended 10 annex Cuba. there would have
been joint interna tionaI opposition in
which England would have joined.

In view Of the many conflicting state

the diplomacy of that period. consented
to talk about the matter today.
All the confusion in the public press
over the reported efforts of the European
Powers to stop hostiliiies between the
United States and SPAIN" he said. has
come from the fact that there we're three
distinct propositions on the subject
while the press and public have received
the impression that there was only one
proposition.
The most explicit statements are ma lie
that Great Britain was not friendly TO the
United States and equally explicit state
ments are made that Great Britain dis
played the utmost friendliness toward
this country. This Government was per-
feCtly familiar at the time with what was
going on and with that knowledge it is
easy 70 understand how the present con-
fusion has arisen
