Make Peace Between cusans Ex-
eept BY American Intervention.

Havana.-Messrs. Taft and Bacon
have practically abandoned hope Of
finding a middle ground and fear that
decision in favor of either side
would result in no more than tempo
rary tranquility for the island. It is
their belief that American occupation
is the only way to end the civil war
fare, and 1t is not denied that inter-
vention must be followed by Ameri.
can sovereignty. Secretary Taft has
eabled to President Roosevelt regard
ing the gravity of the situation, and
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to dictate
the future program
A demonstration was made on Fri
day by armed reYolutionists within a
mile Of the scene of the peace confer
ence. General Acosta, with 300 insur-
gents, encamped at La Lisa, west OF
Minister Morgan's villa at Mariana,
and half mile eastward were rural
guards, militia and mounted police.
At the insurgent camp the statement
was made that the object of the in
surgents in coming SO close was to
show Secretary Taft how completely

Mr.. Taft has made 1t clear that the

TAFT HAS FULL POWER
TO SETTLE TROUBLE.
The Secretary Considers II the Duty
Of the United States to Give Gu
bans Another Chance.

Havana.-All classes are now
awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility viii likely be re-
stored in Cuba. and keen disappoint-
ment is expected on every side be-
cause of the likelihood Of peace being
brought about without armed Ameri-
can Intervention That the differ
ences Of the opposing factions could
be reconciled was not generally be-
heved to be possible until Sunday,
when 1t was announced that the lib
erals and the insurgents had en-
powered a committee to represent
them before the American mediators.
It u evident that the business inter
'ests Of the island have no confidence
in the ability Of the Cubans to rule
themselves, and now. when It appears
too late. they are openly favoring
forcible Intervention and possibly an
nexation
Secretary OF War Taft Is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace
cannot last unless it is enforced by
an American army, but he considers
that 1t is the duty OF the United
States to give the republic another
chance, and believes that II would be
bad policy for the United States to
keep force in Cuba longer than was
required TO supervise the laying down
of arms. He said that if the liberals
and moderates harmonic their diff
ferences the United States must re-
gard the compact as made in good
faith

most frequented by negroes, and for a
time 1t seemed to hold the crowd at

out and will hold the situation until
troops can be modified. The mob

st. rsburg.-According to the
newspapers, the mysterious automo-
bile which the police have been trail
ing for several weeks in the belief
that it belonged to revolutionists and
was being used as base for a terror
list conspiracy, has been seized in the
vicinity of the palace Of Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicolaievitch at Peterhof.
The machine bore false number. The
passengers were armed and could not
properly identify themselves.
The most daring exploit of the ma.
chine is reported to have occurred at
Tsarskoe-Selo, where the motorists
are said to have crashed through a
fence surrounding the little palace
and made rapid trip through the en-
closure and out again, presumably in
rehearsal for an attempt on the life
of the emperor after his return from
the present cruise in Finnish waters.
