Palma Determined to Resign.

President Palma steadfastly refuses
every solicitation of his friends to
withdraw his resignation. Typical Of
this was the cablegram he sent, to
President Roosevelt in response to the
final urgent message from Roosevelt
that he remain at his helm. In this
President Palma expressed his warm
est appreciation of President ROose-
velt's efforts to secure peace for Gu
ba, and the friendship he has always
shown the Cuban people. He referred
to his own previous sacrifices for Gu
ba, which he said had not been made
in vain, But in the present situation,
and in view Of all that had transpired,
he felt that further sacrifice on his
part would be useless, and that it was
not consistent with his dignity and
prestige to remain in Office.

Nothing Bright in the Outlook

Were it possible to induce President
Palma to withdraw his resignation the
situation still would be most difficult,
and military intervention would con-
tinue to be the most probable outcome.
If Palma's resignation were accepted
it would then become necessary for
congress to elect a provisional presi-
dent Such an election would be a
new sort of contention, not only be-
tween the opposing political parties
but probably between the opposing
factions within these parties. The
United States commissioners will not
brook the establishment of a provision.

Asked Prisoners to Church.

Macon, No., Sept. 10.-At meet
ing OF the local Ministers Alliance, q
resolution was unanimously adopted
inviting the sheriff to escort his jail
colony TO one Of the churches each
Sunday,
The action was caused by pub
lished wall from the prisoners that
they were denied spiritual consola-
tlon, for which their souls craved.
The manifesto OF the men behind the
bars is cleverly worded and calcula-
ted TO make one think they have
been greatly neglected, rel!giously.
When Sheriff Graves was handed q
copy OF the resolutions by the min
listers he scratched his head.
"We've got a couple OF men In
there for highway robbery, burglary
and grand larceny" he said; zone
for attempted murder and several
for general cussedness. I'd like to
be obliging, but-er-will you people
have your guns along in case any Of
'em would rum"
There was a consultation OF the
clergymen and 1t was decided that
one OF their number would visit the
Jail each Sunday and hold services
therein to which amendment the
sheriff heartily agreed.
