TAFT HAS FULL POWER
TO SETTLE TROUBLE
Tho Secretary Considers II the Duty
OF the United States to Give Gu
bans Another Chance.

Havana.-All classes are now
awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be re.
stored In Cuba, and keen disappoint-
ment is expected on every side be.
cause OF the likelihood of peace being
brought about without armed Ameri.
can intervention. That the differ.
ences OF the opposing factions could
be reconciled was not generally be-
Ieyed to be possible until Sunday,
when it was announced that the lib
erals and the insurgents had en-
powered a committee to represent
them before the American mediators.
1t is evident that the business inter-
ests OF the island have no confidence
in the ability of the Cubans to rule
themselves, and now, when it appears
too late, they are openly favoring
forcible Intervention and possibly an
nexation.
Secretary of War Taft is cognizant
OF this general opinion that peace
cannot last unless it is enforced by
an American army, but he considers
that it is the duty of the United |
States to give the republic another |
chance, and believes that it would be |
bad policy for the United States to
keep force in Cuba longer than was
required to supervise the laying down
Of arms. He said that if the liberals
and moderates harmonic their diff
ferences the United States must re-
gard the compact as made in good
faith
