Conditions In Cuba.

Havana, Sept. 20 -That the settle
ment of the Cuban trouble will be q
more serious matter than was at first
anticipated by Secretaries TAFT and Bacon
is now acknowledged by the American
commissioners, as we'll as BY all persons
in a position 10 know inside conditions.
Secretary Taft who made his frst day
of conferences with representatives OF
Of opposing factions, admitted that the
ten days he 6rst thought would be neces-
sary to effect an adjustment would prob
ably be not sufficient for the purpose.
His hope OF eventually finding q way
out of the difficulties presented to him is
found in the spirit manifested by both
sides which he said ia satisfactory.
The resl difficulty 10 reaching an agree
meut will develop of the multiludinous
interests to be concilisted. Every man
in Cuba, practically, is politician and
all think they have interests, some
patriotic. mostly personal and selfish,
to be heard.
Many persons today openly cay
it will probably require flourish or two
of the "big stick" before all the poll
ticians will be ready to see that they
have no alternative but to be satisfied.
In President Palma's declaration that
he will resign if new elections are or
dered many persons think they see the
ultimate outcome of the negotiations
There is little doubt that If close scrutiny
is directed by the American commits.
sioners upon the last elections that
enough evidence OF fraud aud direct 20
timidation by the government to war
rant them in setting aside the elections
will be found. Ifnew elections are or
dered and Palma sticks by his declara-
ton to retire, the insurgents would
probably be willing TO compromise ON
other questions 10 favor OF the modera.es.
Moderstes, on the other hand, will
hardly agree to another election and
Palma's retirement. But there are
growing evidences that the moderstes
are far from being in majority in the
country.
Hundreds have joined the insurgent
armies since the srmistice was declared
as a protest against the administration
The liberals contend that the Americans
have only to look about them to see that
they and not Pslma's party are in the
majority.
