result Of the recent election there

been impossible to bring about peace
The Government sent two repfssen-
tatives 10 Havana to attempt 70
bring about peace, but SO far to no
avail. The Secretary Of State finds,
upon investigation. that the recent
election was as rotten as vas repre-
scented. but the government OF Cuba
refused all peace negotiations that
we're put before them, even when
they we're concessions upon the part
OF toe other party. The result Is
that the President and the Vice
President OF the Island have resign
ed. having called an extra session
Of Congress. This means that Il
now depends upon the United States
TO bring about peace, even II il must
be done By a var. The Plat
