PROGRESS
IN MAKING PEACE
Havana'S Business Men Ridi-
Guile Efforts to Settle
Trouble in Cuba
Liberal Leaders Demand Better Terms
Than II Would Be Possible to Give,
Including Reinstatement of Lib.
erals Who Were Deposed
From Office.

Havana While the peace projects
nave caused general suspension OF
revolutionary operations, no appreci
able progress toward anything like a
satisfactory understanding has been
made. The liberal leaders insist that
1t is unjust to regard them as insur-
gents, and assert that they are mere
ly seeking peace. But they declare
that not only must the terms be bet
ter than heretofore talked of, but that
there must be some guaranty that the
conditions will be carried out.
The demands that come from the in
surgents include the restoration of
deserters from the rural guards to
their former positions, the reinstate-
ment of liberals who last year were
deposed from municipal Offices, the re.
tention of arms by the insurgents and
other equally radical propositions.
The liberals have not yet relin.
pushed the hope that they may be
able to force the resignation of Presi.
dent Palma and all the high govern
ment officials. The succession Of Vice
President Mendez Capote to the presi
dency is also discussed. The liberals
seem to think they could reach an un-
derstanding with him. There is moth.
Ing to indicate that Mendez Capote Is
party to this project.
Many business men of Havana ridi-
Guile what they call a "patched-up
peace" which they allege can be only
temporary. Some go so far as to as
sert that the country never can be
governed rightly or investments be
absolutely safeguarded unless the
United States intervenes. This is
frankly stated in some cases also by
high government officials.

Family Reunion.

Pollock Progress: A family reunion
was held Sunday, August 26, 1906, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. R. Cranston
near Vanderbilt. There were ten sons
and daughters present under the paren-
tai roof and it was the first time in
this world they had all been assembled
together. Those present were Mrs.
Nellie Simpson and son of Spokane,
WASH, Mrs. A. B. Crane and three
children from Brookings, A. E. and 1.
Cranston and their families of this
place, R. F. Cranston, Mrs. A. j.
Young and N. w. Cranston of Oakes,
and three younger children who are
yet living at home. Ten grandchildren
were present, and three grandchildren
and one greatgrandchild were not there.
We think that for large family this
is at least equal to any in the neighbor-
hood. Photographer Chaffee of Her
reid came up and took several pictures
of the family group. ),

The Character of Governor Cum.
minis.

Few men have paid as dearly for
political honors as has Governor Cum
minis of Iowa. Five years ago he was
in the enjoyment Of large and fast
increasing income derived from gen.
eral practice of the law. He was con-
ceded to be at the head of the bar of
his state and the peer of any lawyer in
the northwest. His home life was
well-nigh ideal. As dispensers of
hospitality, Mr.. and Mrs. Cummins had
Gas they still have) no superiors at the
state capital. Surrounded by troops
of friends, his professional services in
demand eyond the limits of his power
to respond, he exchanged the highest
honors Of his chosen profession, and
with them the pleasures Of social life,
unmixed with political complications
and partisan antagonisms, for a career
inevitably involving pecuniary loss, a
position inviting him to laborious days
and an infinite variety of annoyances
and cares. In the fierce light which
during the recent campaign was thrown
upon his official career, the minutest
inspection did not bring out a single
suggestion of motive for holding Office
other than an ambition to serve the
public faithfully and efficiently, and a
purpose to push forward to completion
the reform work so vigorously begun
by him. It has been charged that the
governor still cherishes his early ambi-
tion to enter national politics. Possibly;
but if that be an unworthy ambition,
few men in public life can be held to be
altogether worthy. Far from regard
ing himself as the only man in Iowa
who could lead his party to victory in
the coming campaign, Governor Cum
minis earnestly urged his political
friends to unite upon some one who
would take up his work and carry it on
to conclusions. But his influential sup
porters were found to be united in
insistence that the successful inau-
curator of reforms could best carry
them on to conclusions; that the people
looked to him for definite results and
would not let the fetch of the two
term precedent stand in the way Of his
second reelection.-From 1.-THE Cover
