BITTER AGAINST PALMA.
Strong Talk of Impcnchins the Gu
ban President.

Havana, Aug. 30.-President Palma
finds himself to-day without the sup
port of a single newspaper controlled
by the Cubans. The editorials pub
lished in the Cuban press are, consid-
cred collectively, remarkable for their
bitterness and outspoken opposition to
the chief executive. One of the prin-
cipal causes of the opposition to the
president seems to arise from the fact
that he granted the Castaneda conces-
sion for the establishment Of an cleo
trio light plant at Havana. This con-
cession has been a subject of bitter
discussion in the house of representa-
tives, and some members of the house
are demanding Senior Palma's inn
peachmcnt unless the concession is re-
Scinded.
