Havana, Sept. 22.-Peace Tor ouoa' :

intervention, seems to be further away
now than when Secretary Of War TAFT
and Assistant Secretary OF State Bacon
began negotiations to harmonic the
opposing factions. The arrival today o.
three United States battle ships and

A meeting OF the executive commluee
Of the Moderate party was hastily sum
moned this evening and it was voted
unanimously to accept whatever dispo-
sjtion Of the controversy Messrs. Taft
and Bacon may decide upon, in the
hope that such concession will induce
the Liberals to yield similarly. The
latter however, have as yet signihed
no Willingness to accept the decision Of
the American mediators.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon have practi-
cally abandoned their hope OF finding 9
middle ground and fear that decision
in favor of either side would result IN
no more than temporary tranquility
Tor the island. 1t is their belief thai
American occupation is the only way
to end the civil warfare, and 1T is mo-
denied that intervention must be fol

Taft has cabled to President Roosevelt
regarding the gravity Of the situation
and Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to die

NEW STORM ARISES.
Santo Domingo Again Infected With
Revolutionary Fever

Revolutionary Fever.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Just as the
Cuban instruction appears to be on
the point of harmonious adjustment,
the United States government is con-
fronted with new outbreak in Santo
Domingo. Commander Souther land,
senior American naval officer in Do
minican waters, reported to the Navy
department by cable late this afternoon
that an instruction is about to break
out in Santo Domingo at any time. He
says that the government has sent q
force of 400 men to Monte Christie.
The situation is declared TO be acute
He fears that an uprising may take
place. He requests that the Dixie,
which is now in Cuban waters, be re.
turned at once to Santo Domingo.
When the advisability of withdraw
ing the naval forces from Dominican
waters was discussed when the crisis
came in the Cuban revolt, suggestion
was made that it might give encourage
ment to the insurgents in that island
1t was finally decided, however, thai
the Dominican government had matters
well in hand and that no change was tt
be apprehended with the present fee
of gunboats in those waters.
