No dip- Plomatic dispatch of equal importance has loft the capital since Sccctary Olneys note to the British government on the Venezuelan boundary que'tion was nent 3at summer. It brings to a crisis the relations between the United States and Spain , which have bcen ; unsettled Iiico the outbreak of the Cuban \ rebellion. The itoto thoroughly explains the attitude of the tJnited States and the reasons which have led to this action. The principal points of the dispatch are : I. The president offers the good otilces a ot ti United States government In mediation - tion between Spain and the insurgents , with a view to a settlement of the trouble and ' . ' to bring about peace In Cuba. 2. The note recoils the correspondence between this government and Spain at the time of the ton years svar , when 1'rcIdent Grant and Secretary Fish iroposed mediation - tion and the Spanish government , though declining to accept it , promised certain re- fornu in Cuba. The fact that the United Htntes Was in part Instrumental in bringing about that ett1einent flfl(1 the cluirge that the Spanish goveriunent has not kept its Vromises is given us a reason vhiy the Unhtect States now has a right to be heard In the cne. 3. It Is pointed out that the present re- hellion in Cuba has assumed a much more serious aspect than any former insurrection , the Insurgents luiving apparently taken : 1)OsCi011 of all the Island except havana . ' nud a small section of country round about. 4 \ Hpahii Is assured of the fact that the United States Is actuated only by disinterested motives and by a desire through friendship to bring about a more pacific and satisfactory - factory state of affairs in the spirit In which they arc tendered and the hope is expressed that thd Spanish government vilI see its way to granting retorms in ' Cairn. The iiresldent ( hoes not asic Spain to grant the independence of Cuba , nor iIue he suggest that home rule be accorded the I ) OPl0 of that Island. lie leaves nil these Questions of method to be discussed after Spain hahi have .expressed a willing- fleas to accept r.tediatlon.
