will Go to the Bad,
FULL PROGRAM OF THE
REBELS POLICY ISSUED
Guerra AdhereS to Determina-
ton Not to Be Led Into a
Trap - Palma Anxious to
Bring About Peace,

Havana, Sept. 4.-As the days and
weeks pass with no appreciable di-
minution of the revolution, the appre-
hension increases.
The most conservative testimony
from the country districts OF the pro-
Vinces of Pinar Del Rio, Havana and
Santa Clara is to the effect that two
thirds of the people in the country
and small towns of these three pro-
Vinces are insurgents in sentiment il
not in fact 1t is generally believed
the government will ultimately SUBJ
due the insurreCtion, but in the mean
while the crops cannot be developed,
and 1t is a grave question whether the
rebelliouS spirit even then can he ac-
tually quelled to the extent of restor-
ing the country to normal self-gov-
crning status.
A realization of this is the cause of
renewal of efforts for the restoring
of peace. General Mario Menocal
whom the people trust as one capable
of bringing the warning factions to-
gether If such a thing Is possible
came to Havana today and held two
conferences with President Palma.
General Menocal, after the confer
cnces, absolutely refused 10 make any
statement.
Big Guns Hold Wow.
General Menocal, General Cehreco,
who has been prominent in recent ef-
forts to institute negotiations with in
, surgent leaders, and a few merchants
and planters, held a conference to-
night to discuss the proposal to make
an attempt at negotiations with the
insurgents, and the two generals nam
| ed intended tomorrow to call upon the
I 1nnlAre OF ha 1ihnra1 tf
I parties individually and see what it is
possible to do. President Palma has
no objection to these efforts, but
makes no promises or suggestions on
behalf of the government
The managers of the insurrcctiOn
meanwhile have permitted the publi-
cation of a document purporting to
have been found in an abandoned
rebel camp but which. it is reliably
stated, was first issued in Havana and
the original of which the Associated
Press has reason to believe is !n a
! deposit vault in the United States,
| signed by prominent conspirators,
which documents give the full pro-
gram of the revolutiOnists' policy. 1t
is in the form of an agreement and
dated Havana, July 26.
| The agreement states that senators
elected in April, 1902, and represen-
tatives elected in 1904 shall then
form a congress, elect an interim
| president and vice president who
| shall call elections for those Offices
and other offices declared vacant
Mayors and councilmen who have
/ been arbitrarily depOsed by the exec
utive shall! return to their offices.
The document pledges the directors
] of the movement to respect life and
property re-estabish order and not
to cease their labors until they shall
/ have restored constitutional rights to
/ the country.
| In a postscript the document says:
! "All obligations incurred by the un-
1 dersigned with those assisting in the
/ revindicating movement will be APP
proved by he provisional government
/ The undersigned shall exact this as d
debt of honor"
Pine Guerra appears to cover mos
of the country west of Pinar Del Rio
| city and some territory to the east
/ ward.
The insurgents are increasing ir
numbers in the eastern portion of Pi'
/ mar Del Rio province but Asberts
4 force in Havana province has latter
/ ly been lying low and keeping away
| from the various government detach'
ments sent in pursuit.
Colonel Vale is still in pursuit o.
the insurgents in the southern part o.
Santa Clara province, but up to The
present has been unable to come uT
with them,
Special attention is being given L
the defense of Havana and the city
militia is employed in Strengthening
the works.
