CHICAGO , Jan. 7. A special to tlic Tribune from Washington says : Spain 1 considering n formal request to the Unltci States to use Its eooil olllces to stop the fight Ing In Cuha. Intimations have been receive ! at the State department that the Sagasta government had become convinced that tin only way to save Cuba was to accept the often proffered good olllces of > the Unltci States. Canovas frequently replied to I'resl dent Cleveland declining these good olllces and Sagaata did the same last November , N'o\v the prime minister has become com plctely disheartened over the evident failure of autonomy. All efforts of Spain to bribe the subordinates of Gomez to surrender ot the basis of homo rule have proven futile. 'Blanco ' has completely failed In his efforts to open up communication with the In surgcnts , and Pamlo Ifas likewise been de feated In the field. The Spanish ministers now feel that the only thing left Is to accept the good olllces of Uncle Sam In splto of the humiliation Involved. They hesitate be cause they feel that a public announcement of this fact would result In a revolution In Spain. Secret negotiations with the State depart ment are now actually In progress. The Spanish government has lost the confidence , of the loyalists In Cuba , and it recognizes the fact thnt the Island Itself Is lost entireij unless the country will nt this late day nego tiate with the insurgents for some basis of peace. The Spanish propose that the United States should suggest to the insurgents an actual armistice- , pending negotiations for peace on the basis of American guarantees of the In tegrities of home rule , or even Independence on a money consideration. Whllo no such formal presentation has been made by Ml.ulstcr de Lome , the State department has been given to understand that only the fear of revolution In Spain stands In the way of accepting the good olllces of the United States , which have been i ejected bO often. It has been Intimated that If this country sees fit on Its motion to open up com munication willi 'tho Insurgents , Spain will not throw any objections In the way. Any such move would be a practical' ' recognition of the Insurgents as belligerents , but things have reached such a crisis In Cuba that even this contingency must he faced. It is understood that the Cuban republic will insist on formal recognition tcforo under taking nny negotiations with the United States , claiming It cannot treat with a power which regards it as an organized conspiracy. The situation Is critical in Cuba , and the frequent visits of the Spanish minister to the State department arc sufllclcnt to Indicate that Spanish rule in Cuba Is almost at an ond. ond.Officials Officials hero believe that the public an nouncement of this country as arbitrator will result In revolution in Spain , but they real ize It Is the only hope , and is being seriously considered.

I . _ p l" = tt U was said at the Unip Air. Cleveland picked ou > hl cabinet ministers Hint lie couldn't have made < i more appropriate selection - lection for the women they would adJ to ( ho Hot than that of Hilary Herbert for the naval portfolio. From the time her mtrthcr died the youn ger dflushlcr bcoime her father's constant eompanlw , and wherever ho went she went , too. She had n flower-like face , with violet eyes and bloiulo hair. Her older slater wde nlso bDantlful , nnd they were known for n season fla the Herbert beauties. Tiicn the older married , and went to Annlstcn. Ala. , to llvo. After that the younger dauKhter , Leila , niul her father became closer llion ever. She wes almost as well posted an ho In regard to what wns goliiR on In the N'avy dcpnrtmctit. S.ho had the Impulsive , nonsl- tlvo nature of a southern girl , but there was In her a fund of round common sense , ns was Illustrated by her ccuduct nt 'the first In auguration ball. She attended as the sec retary's daughter. For years twst her father had been n member of congress , d the family have lived In Washington. Miss Her bert had , naturally , gene Into society a good deal , but as long ns she wns ccily the daugh'tcr of a rcprceenlntlve , wltiiout a spccl'il beauty or enormous fortune , stio wns lot particularly Bought after by the dashing young officers of the navy. Tflcy danced with 'her ' now and then , as they did with other pleasant girls , but were not In any vay marked In their attentions. All this was changed , 'however ' , when ilaln Mr. ( Herbert became 'the honorable secretary of the navy. Then the cfllccrs , ilgh and low , suddenly discovered unox- icctel charms of mind and person in t.io laughter. At the Inauguration ball Miss Herbert was obliged to run the gauntlet among scores of young gcu'tlomcn in blue and ; old , who bowed 'Jiul amllcd In rows about lur five or six deep. Then , In a quiet way , without openly snubbing or offending any one , Miss Herbert had her little revenge. She studiously avoided all the naval officers and accorded the honor of 'her ' company for lancing and conversation to her civilian friends , who 'ippreclated It Immensely. Miss Herbert wus'the youngest woman whoever over did the honors of a household In the cabinet circle. The race of old maids ) Is fast dying out , eclares the Now York Times. It was largely ho result of environment. A characteristic necdoto of one old maid Is like a Htory of an xtlnct people. This ! a a true story. The Ittlo lady was HO small and weazened that' t acemed that a breath of wind might blow lor away. It did not seem possible that xho ould over have been young. ' No one coulil emcmher that she had over been ! o'd and lea ? woizenod. She was a parasite , but uch n kind and helpful ono ! She was ovory- vhere at cince , and never In the way and mrdly moro heard than seen , for her volco vas Hcarculy louder than a whisper. And so careful ! That ahe was named Aurora wan ho delightful appropriate Inapproprlateacss her old-fashioned charac- vhlch belonged to - - er. And one day Auroni , the timid , the areful , the trustworthy , was to do an outside errand. She was to take a valuable watch o the jeweler's for repairs. She did not are to carry It In her pocket , a bag would lover be t-ifo for anything ao precious , so ho carried It , carefully wrapped , In her land. She held It so tightly that the blooj mrdly circulated through her lingers. Sho' vas glad when she reached the Jeweler's tore to get rid of her valuable chargo. She caned carefully over the glass showoisc , estcd her hand upon It , opened her xtllTened Ingero but the watch was not there. Yes , t was found when a $25 reward was offered , but Aurora , the timid , the careful , the trust , vorthy , novcr Itnow how ho lost It. An American girl who recently studied In Oermany tells of a German girl who was tudylng English and who used to write letters n Kngllsh to her parents , says the Now York 'rlbuno. Ono day the German girl luudtxl a ptter to her , saying : "Hero In the letter vhlch I have written to my mother. I want I ou to road It over and see If I'j Is properly' vrltten. " The letter was all right , excepting ho closing phrase , which read as follow/i / : Hod pickle and keep you. " An Inveatlgi- Ion proved that the young OtTinan woman n looking for a synonym for "preaervu" hud omo across "pickle. " Miss McLean , a woman of Glasgow , has given a fund for mlsilon work among the Iwarfs of the Cameroon district , WY t Af- rlcR , and the work of evangelization among them U fairly begun , says an ex- hango. They are a wandering , hunting oik , hero today and ' there tomorrow , not staying long enough In ono place to have uny agriculture , and until they uro In structed In moro stable ways at living It will bo uuc&aay for the tnl&sloiiarlcu to fol low them about from place to place nnd labor among the llttlo wanderers as thry find opportunity. In catling for volunteers for this work It Is pointed out that such ns hax-o a love for plants , Insects and iblrds will nnd the field a particularly Intcrratlng one. The service requires n good constitu tion and an aptitude for forestry And some knowledge of medicine and marksmanship are desirable. The npostlo who can doctor n sick dwarf nnd bring down n parrot from the top of n tall tree Is said to bo the sort most wnntel there , and most llkoly to exert OH these wild llttlo nlmrota an Influence In- vor.iblo to his m'eslon. ' Mlllnn Dell , In a letter from Paris to tha Ladles' 'Homo ' Journal , writes that the most shameless thing In nit 'Europe ' U the mar- rlago question , and proceeds to nnrrnto < ho experiences of a rich American girl who enmo to Paris with letters to friends. Ou account of her wealth she wns Invited every where by mothers of marriageable sons , but being unable to speak Krvncli , wns not much of a success. She wont to n convent to learn French , anil wns shown much nt- tciillon toy the Dilchcsso do V , who \\as detorinlt'cd that her son should marry her. "Suddenly , to the nmar.emunt of everybody , PARIS AFTERNOON COSTUHR FROM HARPER'S BAZAR An effective gown particularly sultablo for house wear , but equally appropriate for the street , made in a different coloring , h as some rather original paints as to trim ming and combination of coloring. The g own Illustrated Is of a pale sage-green clothe o a eutln finish , and of light enough weight to drupe gracefully. The skirt fits closely over the lilpy and in front , and all the fultioss at the back Is put Into as small a spice as possible. While the skirt Is narrower than these woici lest season , there is enough flare about the foot to give a particularly smart appearance. Tno cut of thia sldrt , to gether with t'hat ' of the waist and alcoves , Is given In the cut tissue-paper pattern l&sucd by Harper's Uazar , where it appears. The skirt Is 'trimmed with bands of braid , black und dead gold , and where the oiids arc fas toned there are small Roman gold buttons. The gold anl the black look especially well against the pale green. The waist Is a simple style , and the1 most noticeable thing about It Is the braiding , which matc.ics that on the skirt. The color and frill are fuced with dark green velvet , which shows just enough to give another toaie of coloring. This style of waist can be altered , so that It can bo worn either by a stout or a slender woman , by having the fulness differently arra/tiged. / the heiress sailed for America without n word of warning.
