The papal nuncio had an audience with the queen regeni this morning. The Attitude of the United States. A cabinet officer authorized the following statement as explanatory of the position of the United States regarding mediation: “You can say for me that all the powers of Europe and the heads of all the churches may propose mediation to Spain if they desire, but the United States will positively not listen to mediation of any kind that does not lead to the acceptance of our condition, which is independence for Cuba.” President McKinley announced to a lead- ing member of Congress who has the con- fidence of the administration that there ‘Was no truth in the reported mediation of the pope in the Cuban incident, and that he (the President) had no knowledge of it whatever.

He said to the barbarous horrors on the Island of Cuba. This caused Spain to assume an aggressive attitude toward the United States, the mediator. The United States cannot now call in another mediator to and bas even written personal letters to the queen regent on the subject, and it is this mediation which Spain has at least agreed to.
