TAFT WOULD
Be GOVERNOR
OF Cuba at Once
in Case of Inter-
vention.
FUNSTON NOW At HAVANA
Brigadier General Arrived
This Morning---Palma Act
ing in Bad Faith.

Havana, Sept. 27.--In spite of the
spirit of conciliation in which both
moderate and liberal leaders appear
ed before the commissioners last
night, Secretary of War Taft and AS
sistant Secretary of State Bacon to.
day received confidential reports that
the government officials are acting
unfairly and have no intention to per.
init a settlement of the controversy
along the lines suggested in Taf.'s
proposals to President Palma The
commissioners felt that crisis will
be precipitated on theconvening of the
Cuban congress tomorrow and are pre-.
pairing to take hold then If neces-
sary.
Taft Would Declare Himself
Governor.
Should the landing of American
forces be required, Secretary Taft
has decided to take over the govern
ment. instantly. He has received au-
thority from President Roosevelt to
take this extreme step in which event
he will proclaim himself governor
Hope Of Peace Revived in Washington
Today.
The hope of peace in Cuba was re-
vived among army and navy officers
in Washington by Havana dispatches
announcing Secretary Tafts plan for
dealing with President. Palma and 9th
er moderate leaders which has caused
them to consider treating with the
insurgents. Many officers now say that
they believe the United States will be
able to restore peace without sending
single American soldier to Cuba
and this opinion seems to be gaining
ground daily. Preparations for any
emergency that may arise in Cuba
have not been abated in the least.
General Funston Arrived at Havana.
Brigadier General Funston arrived
here today on the steamer Olivette.
He refused to discuss his mission or
the prospects for American blterven,
tion The general, who was greeted
by the secretary of the American
legation will remain on board of the
steamer until late in the day.
Commissioners Merely cajoling
Cubans.
A protracted meeting of the Nation
al Liberty party of which Governor
Nuez is the leader, adjourned early
this morning after deciding to take
part in the meeting of the Democrats
this afternoon. Senor Nuez said today
that he did not believe any settlement
would be reached by the American
commissioners who he added were
merely cajoling the Cubans. The ship
ping of American troops to Cuba ac-
cording to the governor could only
mean intervention.

$50 IN SHIPWRECK.
Terrible Scenes at founderine Of
italian Steamer.

The Italian steamer Sirio, from Genoa
for Brazil, was lost off Cape Palos,
Spain, on Saturday afternoon.
Fully $50 emigrants, most of them
Italians and Spaniards, were drowned.
The Bishop of Sac Pablo, Brazil, went
down with the ship while he was bless
ing the drowning passengers. A pas
senger is said to have forcibly taken
from the Bishop life belt. The cap
tain of the Sirio, seeing all was lost
and that he could not control the panic
of the emigrants, who were fighting,
many with knives for the boats and life
buoys, attempted suicide by shooting
himself. He had had as years expert
ence as a seaman.
Without any warning, and while run
ming at full spead, the Sirio struck the
rocks with terrific force. A few minutes
later the stern of the steamer sank be-
meath the waves. In the midst of this
panic the vessel suddenly either broke
in half or glided off the rocks and
founded in deep water.
A feet of trawlers near by, sailed at
once to the rescue. One boat saved 500
persons. Another saved 200, and an
old fisherman, sailing a dingy, saved IL
single-handed.
The panic caused more loss of life
than did the sea itself, for the passen-
gers, huddled together and struggling,
trampled upon each other in their terror.
Italians, with knives and pistols in their
hands, fought for thelife belts and boats
without regard for the women or chill
dren. They shot and stabbed with ter
rible brutality.
One group of Italians held up one of
the boats that was already full and
about to be launched, and dislodged its
occupants, many Of whom were killed
by knife thrusts. Just as this gang
were about to occupy the boat them
selves another body of armed emigrants
attacked them. A fierce fight ensued.
Many heart-rending incidents are re-
lated. A group of six children clam
bered into the shrouds of the Sirio
while their mothers were taken off by
one of the trawlers. The Sirio sank
before the children could be rescued.
The mothers, frantic with despair,
watched their children as they were en-
quilted. The children uttered piercing
shrieks as they were drawn under the
waves. 1t was with difficulty that the
women were restrained from jumping
into the sea.
The Austrian Consul jumped in the
sea, wearing life belt. He noticed a
woman and child near him on the point
of going down. He gave up his belt to
them and tried to swim ashore. He
was almost exhausted when rescued
by fishing vessel.
Among the survivors are many mo-
theirs who weep and wiring their hands
for lost children, while there are also
a number of children who are unable to
find their parents. These have been
admitted to the city founding asylum.
One Italian woman kept her three chill
dren afioat on plank until they were
all picked up.
