a lawyer representing the American Sugar
Refining company. several directors of the
Real Estate Trust company and counsel for
Adolph Segal. Mr.. Earle said the question
of whether he should proceed against the
so-called trust under the provisions Of the
Sherman act or under the state law was
discussed, but not definitely settled. A
further conference will be held tomorrow.
The receiver evaded a question as to
whether criminal action would be insti-
tuted against the sugar combination.
Mr. Earle tonight issued a statement to
the creditors of the Real Estate Trust
company bearing upon his contemplated
action. 1t is in part as follows:

ProRered Terms Refused and Amer
leans Forced to Intervene.
HAVANA, Sept. 25.-The Cuban republic
tonight stands on the verge of a second
period of American Intervention. The mod
crate party, which six weeks ago was in
absolute control OF every Office In the island,
national provincial and municipal, is to-
night determined TO abdicate everything
and compel the United States to intervene.
In fact every government official from
President Palma down is sincerely anxious
TO force such Intervention rather than yield
to any one OF the terms offered by the
liberal party and those in arms against
the government.
The liberal leaders chacaterize the con-
duct of the government treason to the
republic, while Secretary OF War Taft re-
CARDS 1t as an unwarranted and dishonor-
able attempt to force the hand OF the
United States into intervention. This. II
has been stated, is precisely what the
Roosevelt administration has been most
anxious to avoid. II Is still just barely
possible that President Roosevelt. through
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary OF
State Bacon, may yet arrange to establish
the liberals in control of the Cuban gov
ernment. but this is regarded only as the
remotest sort OF possibility. With either
party installed in power there would stu
remain condition OF deplorable dissatis-
faction and unrest and tonight there ap-
pears nothing whatever 10 promise relief
save full control by the United States.
Acting Secretary OF the Interior Mohtalvo
declared this evening that he would never
turn the army over 10 the liberals under
any circumstances. but all government ofh-
cials unite in saying that II the rebels
