American Marines Being Gathered From
All Along the Atlantic Coast.
And Will Be Rushed to Cuba in Case Of Need
During the Impending Emergency.

Havana, Sept. 25.-The Cuban repub-
| lie tonight stands on the verge Of q
| second period of American intervention.
The Moderate party, which six weeks
ago was in absolute control of every
| office in the island. national. provincial
and municipal, is tonight determined
| to abdicate everything and compel the
| United States to intervene. In fact ev-
| ely government official from President
Palma down is sincerely anxious to
| force such intervention rather than
| 10 yield to any one of the terms offered
| BY the Liberal party and those in arms
against the government. The Liberal
leaders characterize the conduct Of the
govt rnment as treason to the republic.
while Sec. Of War Taft regards it as
an unWarranted and dishonOrable at
tempt to force the hand Of the United
states irto intervention. This is pre-
cise!y what the Roosevelt adminiStra
| ton mas been most enXiouS to avoid.
| Pre- sident Roosevelt. through Sec. Taft
and Assistant Sec. Of State Bacon may
arrange to establish the Liberals in
e,ntrol Of the Cuban government. but
this is regarded only as the remot"st
alt of possibility. With either party
rstalicd in power, there would stu
rmain a condition Of deplorahle dis
Satisfaction and unrest and tonight
there appears nothing whatever to
rromiec relief save full control by the
United States.
| Acting Sec. Of tie Interior Montalvo
declared this evening that he would
never turn the army over TO the Li1er-
sis under any circumstances, DUl all
government officials unite in saying
that if the rebels in the field or any
rortion Of them resist American con-
troll the Cuban army would cooperate
with the United States in every possible
wav. President Palma has called spe-
cial session of Congress for Friday
