WOODSTOCK SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1906
cubans Seeking Peace.

Havana. is in the air, and
onall sides there is hope that mat
ters will be arranged between the
government and the insurgents so as
to avoid further blOodshed. However,
there has been no tangible advance
toward an agreement or to a detinitiVe
arrangement for basis OF negotia-
tion.
In the meantime fighting has been
suspended practically.
Delegates informally chosen by a
small group of veterans started to
the camps Of Pine Guzman and other
of the insurgent leaders, with the
purpose of learning what will be ac-
ceptable to the actual fighting leaders
of the revolution.
A similar committee started for
Cienfuegos to consult under a flag OF
truce with the insurgent leaders in
Santa Clara province.
Late Wednesday afternoon Gen
Menocal, Gen. Cebreco and other vet
Grams held conference with Alfredo
Hayas, tho loNder of the liberal par
ty, which, however, did not result in
reaching any understanding. At the
same time the executive committee Of
the moderate party was holding a
conference at which the subject Of
peace was excitedly discussed, al
though no determination was reached.
he Associated Press is informed,
although the fact has not been made
public, that the government com
manders have been directed to sus-
pend active field operations until it
can be determined what can be done
to end the war.
The propositions the promoters of
the peace movement have in mind in
clude special session of congress to
pass acts of amnesty, for the holding
of municipal elections within 60 days
to be supervised by members of both
parties, and new general election
law providing for minority represen-
tation in all branches of the national
and municipal governments.
These propositions seem to appeal
to the public although liberals are in
clined to demand also the resignation
Of all high officials including the
president and members Of the cabi-
net, which the government, CT course
cannot consider. 1t is feared the de-
mands of the insurgent leaders in the
field will be much more exacting than
those Of insurgent sympathizers in the
cities, who ostensibly at least, as
sumo to be non-cOmbatants.
