TAFT IS DISCUSSED.
Nothing in Sight But the Use of Force
in Cuba.

Havana, Sept. 25.-Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
Informed the Associated Press this
morning that they were thoroughly
disguised with the petty methods of
the government leaders here and the
American Commissioners admitted that
they had practically abandoned hope
of bringing peace from the turmoil
unless by the use of force. Mr.. Taft
said:
1.-The government officials, instead
of cooperating with US to save the
republic, have resorted to every kind
of obstruction with the object of con-
tinuing their control Of the administra-
ton. President Palma and his ad-
visers have rejected terms of peace
which were honorable to them. though

I have never known more disgusting
situation. Investigation convinces us
that the elections were thoroughly
rotten. We do not want to intervene,
but the conditions may necessitate it.
Our reports show that the insurgent
commanders have lost control of their
forces, which are now lawless bandits
and anV moment may loot and burn.
The sit alton seems to demand the
use of force
The American commissioners have
decided not to keep their engagement
to revisit President Palma, because OF
his attitude today
Secretary Taft added that terms
agreed upon retain Palma as presi-
dent. but he had listened to the bad
council of his cabinet ministers who
were less fortunate.
The situation here has been eabled
