biugcnc City Guard. MA rURDAY DECEMBER 12. CLEVELAND O.N CUBA. It would Boom that if Spain Bhould oiler to Cuba gonuino au tonomy a tncanure of homo rule, which, while jreHerving tho (sov ereignty of Spain, would satisfy all rational requirements of her Span ish subjects thero should be no just reason why the pacification of tho island might not be iflucted on that basis. Such a result would appear to be in tho truo interest of all concerned. It would stop at onco the conflict which is now con suming the resources of the island and making it worthelcfis for whichever party may ultimately prevail. It would keep intact the possessions of .Spain without touch ing her honor, which will be con sulted rather than impungod by the adequate redress of admitted grievances. It would put the property of the inland and the for tunes of its inhabitants within their own control, without severing the natural and ancient ties which bind them to tho mother country, and would yet rnuhle them to test their capacity for self-government under tho most fuvorablo con ditions. It has been objected on tho one side that Spain would not promise autonomy until hor insurgent sub j'icU lay down their arms; on the other sido.that promised autonomy, however liberal, is insufficient, be cause without asHuranco of tho promise being fulfilled. Iiut the tho reasonableness of the require ment by Spain of tho unconditional surrender on the part of tho insur gont Cuban beforo their autono my is concoded, is not altogether apparent. It ignores important features of tho situation: The stability two j ears' duration lins given tho insurrection; tho feuni bility of its imlefitiito prolongation in tho nature of things as shown by past experience; the utter and im minent ruin of the island unions the presont strife is speedily com posed, and, above all, tho rank abuses which all parties in Spain, all branches of her government, and all her leading public men concede to oxist and profess a do sire to remove. Facing such circumstance, to withhold tho prollur of needed re forms until tho parties demanding them put themselves at the mercy of Spain by throwing down their arms, has the appearance of neg lecting the graveBt of tho iwrilsand inviting suspicion as to the sinceri ty of any professod willingness to grant reforms. Tho ohjoetion on behalf of tho insurgents that the promised roforms cannot be relied upon must, of course, be consid ered, though we have no rijht to awumo and no reason for assuming that anything Spain undertakes to do for tho relief of Cuba will not bo dono according to both the spirit and tho letter of the under taking. Nevertheless, realizing that sus picions on tho part of tho weaker of tho two combatants are always natural and not always unjustifla able, being Bincerely desirous in the interest of both us well as on our own account that tho Cuban problem should be solved with tho least possible delay, it was inti mated by this government to the government of Spain some months ago that if a satisfactory measure of home rule was tendered the Cu ban insurgents, and would be ao- cepted by them upon a guaranty of of its exocution, the United States would endeavor to find a way not objectionable to Spain of furnish ing such guaranty. While no definite response to this intimation has yet been re ceived from the Spanish govern ment, it is believed to be not alto gether unwelcome, while.as already suggested, no reason is perceived why it should not be approved by the insurgents. Neither party can fail to see the importance of early action, and both must realize that to prolong the present state of things for even a short period will add enormously to the time and la bor and expenditure neccessary to to bring about the industrial re cuperation of the island. It is, therefore, leverently hoped on all grounds that earnest efforts for healing the breach between Spain and the insurgent Cubans upon the lines above indicated may be at once inaugurated and pushed to an immediate successful is me. The friendly offices of the United States, either in the matter above outlined or in any other way con sistent with our constitution and laws, will, al ways he at tho disposal of otther party. Whatever policy may arise, our policy, and our interest would eon strain ub to obie t to the acquisition of tho island or to any interference with its control by any oilier pow cr.

Yes, there she was, In a side box on tho grand tier, her mother sitting beside her, mid sonio man whom he did not know standing behind gazing down at hi in with his opera glass to his eyes. Ferdinand grew yet more angry as ho iiot.nl tho expression of absolute content that lay ou IKirleune's charming young face a face which, In Its shadowless beauty, hud always reminded him of a budding rose of erfect, palest pink.

The drawlnu'ks to a favorable Interpio tat Ion of the young roniimner'a work were numerous, l'he most he had been able to do was to obtain for It a flrst hearing dur ing an autumn ivaaou at the National 0Hm House, w hen none but aiHxind rate artist were taking (virt In the pi'rform aneis, and be knew only too well that unless the prima donna who was singing for Mm Improved vastly upon the tlnal re hearsal most of his music would fall to be utidcrsttHMj by the crltliMil publU HI fours rtxloublml when at bint the prelude Iwlng over sad the curtain drawn up hln diva tepsxl forward and sang her opening phrases distinctly out of tune and with nil the errors against which ho bad token such puins to warn her.

Kcrdlnand went borne at once to hli rooms In Westminster, and, throwing htm-ai-lf down Into an easy chair, began to think over the erenu of the evening. A stern resentmont rose In him against the fate that had proved ar, unkind. He hail tolled earnestly over hbj first opera, and he knew without conceit thnt It con tained much beaut of Idea and ooneep tlon. (ilven proper treatment and pro duced under more favorable conditions, It might have proved luocess, whereas It hod Inwn the direst failure. London was laughing at hlin, deriding his lock of tal ent, his want of muslclanly skill, and, worst of all, no doubt, Dorlenne was Join ing In the laugh. lirlenne! Ah, of course he had lost her now forever I How sensible she had tsen to wait before giving her answer! Full of acorn, he cast from blra the thuught of the girl he had loved. To hli distorted Imagination she appeared a be ing he no longor cored for, but hated with all hi soul.

Nimeono had entered noise lessly. He wat no longer In aolttudo with thought Ho sprang from his ecttt, gnxing at the grnccful form which, In Its snowy dra jn'rics and flower decked hair, seemed to him like some beautiful droaui, far too exiiilnlte and sweet to lie real. "Dorlenne!" he gasped. "Vouhere nloncr" The girl's eye drooped, and a wave of rrlmson oolur awept over her face as she spoke. "I have come to give you youranswer," she said shyly. "Alnniuio wanted me to write, but I knew wliat you must be fool ing after what you went through tonight, and ao I persuaded her to call hero on the wny home. Mamma Is waiting below In the carriage" She paused, and Ferdinand understood vaguely that she was waiting for htm to speak. After a moment he did so, but bis voice wa an harsh and bitter that he scarcely recognized It as hi own. "Were you so cruel," he cried, "that you could not put nil even until tomorrow the news of your decision' You might have ajiared yourself tho troublo of oomtng here tonight I know already that which you would tell mo. You waited for my fail ure, and now you would add to my suf fering. " "Kcrdlnand!" The girl s clear young Toloe rang out In the riMiin with a passionate cry, and tha color left her cheek as she turned upon htm with flashing eyes. "Ferdinand, you are wrong unjust It Is truo that yesterday I did not wholly know my own mind, but tonight when you cumo upon the stage and faced those howling wretches alone and with such oournge my heart went out to you. The world's depreciation of your great talent wounded me to the core, and In that mo ment I umlerst.nxl that I loved you that I could lie no man' wife but your. This Is what I came to tell you, Ferdinand, and I hoped that It might In some measure prevent your brooding ui much over your 111 luck. Hut as I am not welcome" hhe turned to go, but the man caught her hand and detained It lu his. "Oh, my love, my Dorlenne," ho mur mured, "forgive me! 1 have boon mail. I knew not what I wa thinking. Come clone to my heart and put your head near mine, so that I may realize It Is not a dream. I love you.

"The point of most Im portance at this momeut la that we are keeping mamma waiting. Don't you think you hail bettor oomo and havo supper wltl US, Ferdinand.' Come." Ho tienl and kissed her rosy, laughing face, then, hand In hand, the two walked downstairs and out to theoarrtagw where, doubtless dreaming of the time when she, tisi, had basked In the sunnhlne of "love't young dream," sat patiently waiting, Fer dinand'! future mother in law.
