APPROVAL FOR PRESIDENT,
His Course in Cuban Middle Is Uni
versalIy Commended.

Washington, Sept. 16.-PresideE
RcoSerclt'S letter counselling peace in
Cuba IS regarded as one of the most
temperate of his utterances. and as
ranking as one of the most statesman
like achievements. His action has the
unqualified approval of Washington.
IT is now considered as inevitable that
the United States will intervene IN
cuba unless peace is restored and tho
lives and property of Americans ara
given protection, because the President
states that his plain duty will force
him to intervene if tranquility is not
restored.
The Presidents action in sending Sec.
Taft and Acting Sec. Bacon to Cuba ~
the interest of peace is regarded as a
master stroke inasmUch as See. TAFT
is Z past master in the art of making
peace. He took his first degree in the
Philippines when the natives were hos
tile to the government. He won them
over, ar least to passive acceptance Of
American rule, and ne is still their idol.
He took his post graduate course Two
years ago at Panama. where his tact
full but firm methods of dealing with
the officials of the Panama republic
prevented a serious ENHANCEMENT with
the United States.
1t is believed that Sec. Taft's mission
will be successful. although his task is
difficult ana delicate. He will have t.
deal with n government the officials OF
which are demcraNzed by a formidable
revolution, and with the revolutionists
themselves, who are in the field
Whether or not Sec. Taft and Acting
Secretary Bacon will go into the field to
meet the revolutioriSts or whether the
latter will be permitted to so into Havana
with promises of immunity from capture
or punishment is one of the points vet to
be decided. 1t is likely that the revolu-
| tionary leaders will be invited to Havana.
If Sec. Taft goes into the field there
would be danger of bodily harm. and he
would necessarily have to he accompanied

WORKING FCR PEACE.
Government Hopes to Avoid intcrven-
ton BY the United States.

Havana. Scrt 16.-Thc government this
evening is making several strenuous Of
forts TO restore peace in Cuba and thus
avoid American intervention. The object
of these endeavorS, it is stated, is that it
may be able to say by the timn See Of
War Taft and Acting Sec. Of State Bacon
arrive that peace already has been secur-
ed and that therefore there is 10 need
for the American governments intervcn-
ton. either to restore peace or insure per-
mancnt tranquility.
Members of the government Informed
The Associated Press that they are max
ing the efforts in accordance with the nd
vice contained in President Roosevelt s
letter. that they have no objection to the
| friendly assistance of the United States
in the matter Of its becoming necessary.
| but that they believe they can settle it
between themselves without the necessity
Of any Intervention. At least, they say.
they are making an attempt to accom-
pish this end unaidcd, and with fair
prospects Of success.
This is the latest phase of rapidly
changing situation that developed late
| this afternoon, when an extraordinary
gazette was issued, containing q decree
signed by President Palma on the recon-
mendation of Secretary of Public Works
MCntalvo.
Tho decree follows:
"All campaign operations are suspend
ed, and in consequence the government
forces will act only on the defensive
throughout the republic. The secretary
of the interior will issue all necessary
| Go tho aync,,t;oy, Of +Ife
The decree caused great surprise. as il
was believed to signify Il change of heart
by the government officials. who for the
past two days have been strongly against
taking up peace overtures with the ennis
saries of the revolutonists. The Asso-
ciated Press learned that today'S action
had its beginning by General Memorials
renewed effort in visiting Secretary Mont

est possible endeavor to induce President

Cuba BY Wednesday.

Washington, Sept. Let was an
nounced at the navy department to-
night that the battIeships Louisiana.
Virginia and New Jersey have been
ordered down the Atlantic coast on Il
shake down cruise and that they have
been directed to keep in touch with
the government at Washington by

from Norfolk, Va. and that the cruis-
ers Minneapolis. and Newark will fol-
low them. The Minneapolis and New
ark carry about 700 men altogether and
the Tacoma $50. Should all these YES

Cuba some better, cheaper and less elab-
crate form of government, and a reduc
ton in tariffs which would bring the cost
of living to a reasonable basis.
Although opinion on the subject is very
vague tonight, the general conviction
seems to prevail that Secretary Taft will
take a hand in the negotiations for peace.
No other encounter than that result
ing in the capture of Jof Guanjay was
reported today. Traffic is again closed
on the Western railroad The revolution
lists will not permit repairs to be made
on the CalabaZar bridge. The ral,roau
employees who were captured by the
revolutionists have been released. Pine
Guerras force has not yet approached
Havana province. 1t is much depleted
and is moving slowly eastward. Owing
to extremely meagre wire facilities little
is known concerning the situation in
Santa Clara, except that at Arroyo
Blanco fifty cavalrymen defeated 100
mounted revolutionsts belonging to the
force of Senior Canisares, ex-speaker of
the House, killing several and capturing
arms, ammunition and supplies. The
Havana defenses continue to he siren
gtheued.
Vice President Mondoz Capole said to-
night that nothing as yet had been de-
cided on which to base peace negotiat-
ions. This> was being discussed by rep
resentatives of the moderates with
Attire Zayas but the result probably will
not be made public until n further
conference has been held. He said by
the time of the arrival of Secretary
Taft it was hoped that permanen.
adjustment of the difficulties would be
fixed and ready for Mr.. Tafts approval.
He had not thought of not securing the
friendly informal approval. of the
United States to the settlement of the
difficulties since he realized this was
necessary to Cuba's permanent peace
and prosperity.

Vermont Commissioners Deem Old
Rochester Railroad Unsafe.

Bethel, VT, Sept. 16.-Because it was
considered unsafe for passenger and
freight traffic. the White River Valley
Railroad. commonly known as the
Rochester Railroad, was ordered clos
ed Saturday by order of the state board
OF railroad commissioners. The road.
which is 10 miles long and runs from
Rochester to Bethel, was built eight
years ago.
The order of the railroad commits
sioners takes effect next Tuesday.
Recently petition, alleging the road
to be unsafe. was presented to the com
mission. After several hearings and Il
thorough examination the commission
ers decided to order the road closed
to traffic. There are large lumber in
terests that will be affected by the
: commissions order. and a tale mine
will also be Inconvenience.
An official of the road is authority for
the statement that the present unsafe
condition of the read is due to the
failure of some of the towns along the
line Ito pay subsidy for it's MAIN
tenance. When the road was built the
Towns agreed to contribute fixed sum
each year for its support. Recently
some of the towns have refused to pay.
and as result the trestles and bridges
which have been damaged. have not
been repaired owing to lack of funds.
1t was on account of the weakened con-
dit'on of some of the trestles ana
bridges that the road was ordered clos
ed.
The promoters of the road express the
opinion that it will be re-opened soon.

He gave liberty to Cuba and will not
take the first opportunity to withdraw it.
Besides he is a man of experience and
knows what prosecution of the Philippine
war cost and continues to cost the United
States. Cuban citizens as subjects are
not easy to govern. Unless the uneX-
