PALMA's UNFORTUNATE COURSE.

Intervention in Cuba seems now inevitable
If it comes, President Palma and the members OF
his government will be directly responsible for it,
Secretary Taft apparently making gratifying
progress toward the establishment OF peace when
his iabors were rendered abortive by the positive
refusal OF Palma and his Associates to agree 10
the terms proposed
Nor did they halt with mere refusal TO accept
the terms outlined by the American mediator but
announced their intention of resigning. For the
purpose of acting upon these designations special
session OF the Cuban congress has been called for
Friday next.
Obviously, if this threat of the government
TO resign is carried into execution the republic
will be left without responsible head, and
the United States must of necessity, intervene to
prevent the island falling into condition of chaos
and anarchy
President Pama's action reveals him in any,
thing but favorable light and goes far to change
the high opinion OF his patriotism and statesman
ship previously entertained i'll this country
to one OF suspicion of his motives and his sincerity
Indeed, there is likely to result a conviction
that after all, there was some truth in the con-
tenton OF the insurgents that the last general
elections were carried by fraud and force and that
Palma, instead OF conducting himself as the presi-
dent OF tree and independent republic had AFRO
gated TO himself the powers and functions OF
dictator.
Whether Intervention will mean the end of
Cubas existence nation cannot be foretold

is, however, fact that while American sentiment
is distinctly against annexation, it is not so hostile
as not to yield if the Cubans continue TO show
themselves incapable of peaceful self government
