Cuban soil. They believe llist events in Hgvaua re shaping up directly lu accordance with the plaus of the secretary of war, and tht while the situation appears to be desperate, the present aspect la really one phase uf the program mapped out by Secretary Taft. It is Relieved that hla purpose waa to clear the field for a complete reconstruction in Cuba, but that this did not necessarily involve Intervention in tbe sense uf grated occupation uf the Island by American troops. President Palmas withdrawal, or st least that of the conservathe advisers who surrounded him, was, however, believed to be essential to the working out of this plan. It la conjectured by the officials here that the secretary's purpose la to carry out direct Instructions from President Roosevelt and give Ihe Cubans another chance .to govern their own Island. The only way thla cuuld lie worked out, they way, would be for him to call together some nf the most, patriotic and Judlrious of the Cuban, without regard in party affiliations, and ark them to create a provisional government. They point, out that the Insurgent generals would 1 asked to give their allegiance to this government, temporarily at least, and the military forces of the Palma government would he aa peeled to support it, while the provisional government would be pledged to call new elerllnna under conditions that would insure the control of the permanent government by a majority of the Culmn people. and that, if they tell again to maintain order sad security in tbs laland, then Intervention must ensue, resulting In probable annexation. President Roosevelt le expected to arrive in Washington next Monday night, and many army officers are of the opinion that there will be no sensational development in Cuban affaire before that time. The president baa been constantly In communication with Major Gen. F. C. Ainsworth, the military secretary, and Brig. Gen. 'J. Franklin Hell, the chief of eleff of the army, for several day. All their plans for preparing to meet any emergency which may demand tbe sending of troops, has repeatedly concurred In recommendations to general staff officers that everything possible be In readlneea tor any turn the Cuban crisis may take. At the President's suggestion, officers In all parte uf the I' n lied Buttes have been advised to prepare for a call to service lu Cuba, upon which call the men and officers of the army can he ready U sail long before the transportation can he provided for them. Although President Rooseielt haa constantly cautioned the army to lie prepared, he has been unwilling to have tbe quartermaster's department contract for transports and make arrangements fur sending troops to Cuba. The unwillingness uf the to take this final step Is regarded hv army men aa an Indication that President Roosevelt hopes to avoid landing troops on Cuban soli. The war department can not prepare commercial ships for transport service on less than a week after making publication at them- - Consequently tf there were urgent demand for troops in Cuba at tbit time orders to rent steamers for transporta would doubtless have been Issued before this. 26,-W- Cuban Cabinet Ready to Resign. Havana. Sept. 20. Out uf the flood of rumors in circulation today's central fact remains that Neither President. Palm or any of the other government officials has withdrawn his resignation, and there is no evidence that they contemplate doing s. notwithstanding excited advice uf all aorta from ther ltlmat.es. Tbe rumors vary- from on that President Palma I reconsidering hi resignation to the extrema statement that the government is not only standing firm, but Is refusing to resign unless forced t do so. and also that It Is notifying all tbe South and Central American governments Hut the Cuban republic Is being treated most unjustly by the failed Slates, and desires the unitedly to protest. No conferences lietween the government officials occurred this morning. The cabinet ministers all say that their posts they are rtady to rellquish aad that tbe situation Is unchanged. Coniul General Btelnhart and Capt. F. R. McCoy called at the palace, hut on leaving they asserted that their visit waa simply an informal call and devoid of significance.

Taft and Bacon today had g. interviews with Artlng Secretary of the Interior Montalvo and others, but they would not divulge the nature iff the subjects discused, nor would Taft admit or deny having again communicated with Preldeuta Palma. Mr. Taft said there was nothing new on the subject of proponed landing of American marine. No call for a session of congress Friday ha been gazetted, but President Palma today sent a formal letter to the presiding officers of congress announcing tbe call and ita objects. Siv-reiar- y Taft to Ba Arbitrator. Havana. Sept. 26. The government partv tonight abandoned Its basic contention that It la impossible to treat fur peace with armed rebels, and proposed to.negotlute directly wlih a committee of Its !,ppuneuta. It agreed to leave all points upon which understanding la nut reached to final arbitration of Secretaries Taft and Bacon. The government first suggested that It would treat with the liberals If they would lay down their arms, but the American commlasiuaera ruled that this stipulation waa unfair and tbe moderate representatives accepted thla Tlew.' While thla phase uf the controversy waa wholly unexpected. Recretary Taft was greatly pleased therewith and made tha following statement for publication: we are My Impression Is that ifiuch nearer a solution of tha trouble tonight than ws were last night. It was announced a)o that the negotiations to be open Ad between the ccminiuAea representing the opposing parties would be ruferencea to .the terms previously proposed. The time and place fur the first meeting Is to he determined by Secretary Taft tomorrow. It la beyond qneeUon that both parties were brought to a nines tractable frame of mind by the verlml ultimatum Issued by Secretaries Taft and Bacon today In the name of President Roosevelt, that unless they consent to a fair arbitration the United Slstee mu compel the asms by temSuch ocporary military occupation. cupation. It waa declared, would nor tneaa.American sovereignty. It would continue only until new elections had been hold, ihe new government firmly established and order restored. Within an hour of the receipt of this ultimatum the moderate assembly agreed, at the end of a stormy session. to the suggest Ion of treating with the liberals. The conservative moderates threatened the dlsniitlun of the party unless the radicals consented to treat with the American commission, and his also la believed to have had an Important bearing upon the moderate division. It Is understood tonight that President Palma does not Intend to withdraw hla resignation, but it Is predicted that congress will table IF Indefinitely. Tho decree convening congress on Friday for the purpose uf acting upon the resignations of the president, vice president and others was issued today. Afer an exhaustive investigation wo Informed both tbe Moderates anil Liberals that unless they were willing to listen to reason the I'ntted Hiutea must enforce a settlement. I told them that a proclamation would be Issued establishing a military government in the laland. but that this would continue only ao long aa necessary to restore order and Insure the holding of new and fair general elections. I made it plain that this military government would surrender tbe conduct of affairs to the persona fairly elected as soon they could fnlrly establish themselves. Whatever the outcome nf tbe negotiations between tbe Literals and Moderates may lie. it Is felt here thst there la little confidence In the ability of Ihe rebel leaders to control their men when ordered to give up tlicrir arms and return (o their homes. Asked why It bad been derided lo send federal forces to Cubes. Secretary Taft sail this was In anticipation of probable trouble. Continuing, he said thst if necessary landings would be made not only at Havana and Clenfne-gos- , but at other points In order to police the entire island. Minister Morgan waa officially Informed today that. Maximo Dubourhet, a lieutenant in the niral guards, had been appointed commander in the Isle Of Pines, and that he would exercise the power uf mayor and Instrnctional judge. He will order that the arms taken from the Americans there be returned. The delegaflon of Americans from the Isle of Plnea started on their way hack tonight, expressing satisfaction with their interview with Secretaries Taft and Bacon. It is tacitly understood by the committees of the two parties that unless an agreement is reached thla week armed American iutervetinn will ensue. The Moderates declare that the appointment uf a committee to negotiate with the liberals does not mean the consenting to new elections. The general disposition to get together Is strong. Consul Ge:neral Rteinbart visited President Palma this evening and d eased the hope nf tbe Americans concerned In the peace negotiation, arrived at through the efforts initiated by that Moderates, might result in a settlement of the trouble. Replying to Mr. tSelnhart, President Palms said he entertained a similar hope that an understanding soon would be reached. moderate national assembly waa heat-- ' to discuss the pressing question whether some way could not lie devised to scule the present difficulty without threatened American intervention. The meeting was held at the residence of Scnor Dial, president of the senate. Mure than sixty persona were present. They Included Vice Presl-dn- t M eniles Caitote. nearly all the members of the cabinet and almost all the leading senators and represenlly called thla afternoon tative. No sooner had tha meeting assembled than the pent up indignation against the American peace' commissioners broke forth. Several men began In loud voices, and at the time lime, to condemn Secretary uf Way Taft and Acting Secretary of State Bacon, who were declared to have shown partiality In backing the rebels, ami discrimination against the moderate aide of the controversy. The denunciations speakers . shouted against the American government and hotly insisted that the moderate party fhould appeal to tbe powers of the' world for protection against the usurpation of sovereignty of Cuba by the United States. It waa declared that the government forces should fight to the death rather than submit to the terms Insisted usin by the rebels, and one apeaker depicted the borrora of negro domination, which would resujt, he said, from the threatened liberal ascendancy brought about with the assistance of the United States. This talk subsided after an hour and a half, and the meeting then nettled down to the question whether 'it' waa not possible to reopen the negotiations with the peace oommlsloaera. Tbe one point upon which the meet. Jog waa unanimous .wag that the cardinal conditions uf the reopening at negotist inna should be that Insist that tbs rebels lay down their arms before proceeding ( ae- - . got late. It was agreed that Acting Secretary of the Interior Montalvo should visit tbe American commlaalonerai aad acquaint them with the party's Insist-cuon thla condition. 8c nor Montalvo therefore proceeded to the American legation and submitted thla eon. dltlon to M hosts. Taft and Bacon, . adding that If tbe proposition was not acceptable to them the government forces would refuse to lay down their arms or deliver them e'lther to tbe rebels or (he commissioners. In (he meanwhile Bcnor Dull hail been sent for by Secretary Taft. He appeared at the American legation and made the following proposition, requesting the opinion of the commlw loners thereon : Thai both sides appoint committees of six to treat for peace, but with the prior condition that the rebels lay down their arms. Secretary Taft approved this, with-thexception that it waa unfair to make tbe rebels lay down their arms before the acceptance by both parties of a formal agreement to wblde by the terms of the ultimate decision. Setter Dolx returned to the assembly and re--. ported the result of his efforts. During the abaeifre of 8c nor Montalvo and lMz the assembly took a re-- ' cess. At the resumption of the meeting and after hearing and hastily discussing the views of Secretary Taft, the asaembly preclpltatedly receded from Ita various contention that the rebels ' must lay down their arma before negotiations could be reopened, and resolved to notify Secretary Taft that they would appoint a committee of six to meet a similar committee front ' the liocrals to negotiate peace terms, leaving all points upon which no agreement was reached to arbitration of tbe American commissioner . The assembly directed that Secretary Taft be requested to notify the liberals of hie action of the moderates, to arrange for tbe appointment of n similar committee by the liberals and to fix a time and place of meeting. It was agreed that at the extrmnrdl- -. nary seas km of congress called for next Friday the resignation of Pre alii ent Palma would be tabled pending these negotiations, with the hope of obviating the necessity of his leaving al-le- es office. It waa the ultimatum issued by that brought to those con- Messrs. Taft and Bacon the mode rales to agree ciliatory methods.

President Palma chose to regard our anggestiona as demands, and be rejected them emphatically. Today we acquainted Alfredo Zayes, the liberal leader, with the situation, and he undertook to induce his associates to consent to the original proposition of the moderates, namely, that the Insurgents lay down their arms and submit, the entire controversy to the American commissi oner, bnt the rebel ' commanders and the men tn the field suspected insincerity on the part of the government and declined.
