WILLIAM H. TAFT.

party leaders that the situation be-
comes Increasingly complicated as the
negotiations proceed. However. Sec
rotary Taft said that he believed when
they are brought face to face with the
danger Of losing independence forever
all patriotic Cubans will be wiling to
make concessions.
Taft's Counsel Is a Warming.
Taft added that the United States
peace emissaries are occupying a most
delicate position, and have undertaken
to hear I'll complaints and that until
they have made themselves thoroughly
conversant with the political turmoil Of
Cuba they cannot express themselves
freely in the conference, fearing that
possible MISUNDERSTANDING may have
q deterrent effect on the proceedings.
The only counsel to the political lead
ers given by Taft was on the subject
Of not engaging in further agitation
that might make Intervention by the
United States necessary.
At the Parting Of the Ways.
Taft has made It cIear that the
United States is not seeking to ex-
ercise control over the island Of any Of
It's affairs; but he has quoted President
RooseveIt's letter to Minister Quesada
to the effect that the United States has
a duty which it canno shirk. To those
whom he has met i'll conference Taft
has said that now is the time to de-
eide whether they would have Cuba
live as 4 nation He has weighed
every word carefully. and has neither
upheld nor criticised the principles of
eitier faction.
Sentiment of the People.
Whether the men they have met in
Havana represent the sentiment of the
entire island is a question that is
troubling the mediatOrs. On this point
the mediators are confronted with
their chief difficulty, for no way has
been devised to obtain the sentiments
of those i'm the field without treating
with armed forces, which might be re-
garded as a recognition Of the insur-
gents.
Can't Recognize Insurgents.
Senator Alfredo Zayas is generally
regarded as the official representative
Of the revolution, but he cannot claim
that distinction in negotiating with
Secretary Taft, as that would make
him a revolutionist and terminate free
intercourse with President Roosevelt's
representatives One sentence from
Senator Zayas' address as president of
the Liberal party is attracting much
attention as showing the relations be-
tween that party and the instruction.
Senator Zayas said: THE Liberal
party is not revolution, but the pro-
gramme of revolution must become the
programme of the Liberal party"

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, April 10.
The supply of cattle here was very
light last week and bulk of them came
during the first few days, They con-
sisted largely of beef steers and as
packers bought literally the breceed-
ing week the demand was not heavy
and prices weak to lower Later in the
week few steers arrived and there was
a firmer tone to the trade and at the
close values on good beef steers were
little stronger than at the opening.
The best here brought $40 with most
of the business done from this down to
$4.00. Cows were rather scarce but
the demand light. There is little ma
tertal change in quotations from a
week ago. Fancy cows sold up to
$500 with others at $3.S5, but few
landed above s3.70. Bulk OF the better
killing grades went at s2.S5 to $50.
Bulls were scarce and steady with a
good demand. Veals are hardly as firm
as week ago on account of big de-
clines at all eastern markets, but there
is good demand here for choice ones.
Feeder and stocker supply was light
and market quiet. The demand was
limited for anything except the very
choice grades. The good ones are
pretty close to steady but common stuff
Is lower than a week ago Country de-
mand was limited and dealers were
slow to load up heavily as the eastern
demand was reported light.
very good trade is looked for this
week as the Lenten season is now over
and dealers are anticipating a better
demand.
The hog supply was very fair but
not nearly as heavy as the two weeks
preceding. Demand was good and
market active, as packers had a chance
to get caught up in their killing and
are taking all the hogs tnat come.
Prices advanced about a quarter dur
ing the week and closed at the high
point for many months, tops now sell
ing at $3.50.
Sheep receipts were fair but offer
iugs rather limited. Good ewes were
wanted and sold at strong prices, best
bringing $5.25, the high price paid here
for some time. The demand for ewes
is better than the supply. Lambs are
quiet and little material change in con
ditions.
