without Q Government.
HAVANA, September e8.-Cuba today 10
practically without q government. and the
landing OF American forces to restore orr
der In the island is believed to be the neces-
sary outcome. The moderates or governing
party, last night decided to abdicate every.
thing In the nature OF national, provincial
and municipal government, and thus force
the hand Of the American peace commits
sioners and compel the United States to in.
tervene for the second time in Cuba. The
liberals. or opposition party, denounce the
action OF the Palma administration as trea-
son. but the conservative interests through
out the island welcome the idea of American
intervention as being the only means of
securing an orderly administration of the
Islands affairs for any length OF time.
1t is pointed out that even IL the American
commissioners succeeded in establishing the
liberals in power It would not insure
peace IN Cuba. and that the condition of
u unres. would continue indefinitely: The
prefer American Intervention to seeing the
hoerai party In power. President Palma,
at special session Of congress called for
Friday. will formally present the resigna-
lions of himself and vice president Mendez
Capote, but II is not certain that a quorum
WIZ be present. as the moderates yes
terday decided that they would not have
any further relations with the government
of Cuba, also alleging unfair treatment at
the hands OF the American commissioners.
The latter have plainly signified their
disgust at the conduct of the government
leaders, and have practically abandoned
their efforts to restore order In the island
except by the use of force. Secretary Taft
has pointed out that the Cuban officials
instead of cooperating with the American
commissioners. have engaged In every kind
OF obstruction with the object of contlnu-
Ing their control Of the government, and
have rejected terms of peace proposed by
the Americans, which are honorable to
President Palma and his advisers.
Palma is Grieved
HAVANA. September 70. - President
Palma remained In his private apart
ments all the morning. He permits OF
no opportunity to interview him or COM
municate with him by message. His ASSOC
ciates say he is deeply grieved at the out
come OF the revolution, and there are
rumors that he is reconsldering his inten-
ton to resign. Nothing. however, has de-
veloped In substantiation of the fact.
Liberals Are Ready.
Senator Zayas' statement, in the name
of the revolutionary committee. was pre-
sented to Secretary Taft today. II says
that the liberals and revolutionists are
ready to lay down their arms and accept
Messrs. Taft and Bacon as arbitrator. pro-
viding a provisional government be formed
of non-partisans. 1t adds that Palma at
titude is inconceivable, the Platt amend
ment giving the United States the right
to intervene in Cuba and Secretary
Tafts suggestion being merely TO use
that right. Should the United States con-
slider military occupation necessary. the
liberals would ask for announcement as
TO how long ii would last and as to its
purpose.
Secretary Fontsy Stirling repeated this
morning that the votes of the. moderate
party was absolutely against compromise.
1t will accept now nothing but the triumph
of the government or military occupation.
Ii the Americans insist that concessions
shall be made to the liberals. and so find
themselves forced to land troops, they may.
said Fonts. find themselves fired upon by
Cuban troops. though the only shots fired
will be such as may be necessary to COM
pei them to take charge of Cuba.
