Washington, Sept. 19.-The Cuban

ing c~ablegram from the secretary
of state of that country:
"Eostilities have stopped on both
sides anG 1 believe peace is at
hand #.-.-=-

gent leaders, SO far as heard from,
are also agreeing to suspension Of
hostilities. -
Havana, sept. 19.-Word has
reached here * the first fighting in
Santiago provsDce. -Four hundred
rebels, under .-olonel Dubois. met
the rural guarosnen, at LaMaya.
The result of Encouragement is not
known.
Havana. Sept. 19.-It is not be-
lieved possible for the Cuban gov
eminent and the insurgents to come
to any definite arrangement in the
matter of occurring peace before the
arrival ir Havana of Taft and Ba-
con. TfrAs is the way the situation
looks today. ~
Havana, Sept. 19.-The only results
hus far of President Palma's order
FOR the suspension of hostilities have
peen that liberal leaders, who hitherto
have had every reason for anticipating
arrest, are circulating openly in Ha-
vana again and sven comforting with
members of the government with re-
gard to peace, and that such insur-
gents in the field as have been con-
suited, while they express themselves
as agreeable to settling matters annie
IDLY, at the same time assume an in
dependent attitude which cannot be
said to bide particularly well for a
prompt settlement Of existing difficult
ties.
In the meantime Cienfuegos is in a
state of siege, communication by tele-
graph being severed not only in the
direction Of Havana, but to Santiago
as well. 1t is known that Cienfuegos
had not been attacked up to midnight
Sunday, but what has transpired since
that time is not known here.
$4,000 Insurgents Near Havana.
All accounts agree that there are cas-
lily 10000 insurgents d few miles south
east of Havana, and runors are in cir
culation that they will enter the city
p~eaceably if they are not molested, but
that they will fight if they meet with
resistance. All visitors to insurgent
camps in Havana province return with
this impression, but it is believed no
attempt will be made against Havana
until the arrival of Pine Guerra's
force, which now is v%ariously reported
to be from twenty to thirty miles dis
tant. The general impression is that
the presence in Havana harbor Of the
American cruiser Denver will not act
as a deterrent in such a movement, the
auxiliary cruiser Dixie having gone to
C~ienfuegos and the Des Moines hav-
ing gone presumably to bring to Cuba
Secretary Of War Taft and Acting Sec
rotary Of State Bacon.
The announcement from Washington
that American vessels of war will pro-
tect British as well as American inter-
ests Is taken as applying especially to
C~ienfuegos, where the English-owned
Cuban Central railroad has been obliged
to suspend operations and has suffered
serious damage to it's property. s.
The Western railroad, also u British
enterprise, is not now suffering special
damage except in the vicinity Of Ha-
vana, and it is expected that traffic on
this latter line will be completely re-
opened today.
Bad Day for Peacemakers.
Three representatives of the liberal
party started eastward yesterday to
confer with the insurgents in Santo
Clara and other eastern province
Several automobiles loaded with more
or less authorized pe~acenlakers went
westward, but were obliged to return,
not having either government passes
for touring or credentials for negotia-
lions.

General Menocal had Il conference

fredo Zayas, the president of the lib
eral party, moved freely about the
city Il even visited the palace, where
he had a conference with Secretary
Montalvo relative to means of secur-
ing peace. Senior Zayas told the AS
ISOLATED Press that he was hopeful Of
the final outcome, although nothing
like a definite basis for agreement had
been reached. At present, he said, he
was largely devoting himself to secur-
ing the releases of all suspected con-
