HAVANA. Sept. 22.-The big ques-
to whether the United States will in
tervene, but in what form the inter-
venton will be offered.
Secretary Taft has received state
ments from all factions indicating
that no agreement can possibly be
reached that will place the govern
ment wholly in Cuban hands.
One proposed solution is to con-
tinue Palma at the head of the gov
ernment with equal rights guaranteed
to the rebels by America.
Taft is about ready to ignore both
factions and appoint a new commits
sion with the solution to be enforced
by America.
Taft held a conference with the
rebel generals today. Heretofore the
rebels have been independent and
self-assertive and have maintained
that if the United States sustain Pal
ma they will continue fighting. They
complacently remarked, when told the
feet was in the harbor that the ships
could cot sail saath{. vaf j..

ton is the point in dispute between the

their cause unreservedly to the Amer

Palma's resignation Is expAAed as
a result of the slight given him and
the leaders of his party. The moder-
ates decided, without consulting him,
to submit the case to the arbtrament
of the Americans. In all quarters
there is much more hopeful feeling
since the visit of Taft to Havana. "
A number of Cubans resent General
Funston's coming. His enemies say he
is a deserter from the insurgent
cause. His friends say he left the SER
