moderate party leaders that the situation
becomes increasingly complicated as the
negotiations proceed. However. Secretary
Taft said tonight that he believed when
they are brought face to face with the
Danger of losing independence forever all
patriotic Cubans will be willing TO make
concessions
Mr.. Taft added that the United States
peace emissaries are occupying a most del
lcate position and have undertaken to
near all complaints, and that until they
nave made themselves thoroughly con-
versant with the political turmoil of Cuba
they cannot express themselves freely in
the conference, fearing that possible mis-

Secretary Taft's Advice.

The only counsel TO the political leaders
given by Mr.. Taft was on the subject of
not engaging i'm further agitation that
might make Intervention by the United
states necessary. This advice he offers
freely TO all to whom he gives audience
regardless of party.
Mr.. Taft has made it clear that the
United States is not seeking to exercise
control over the island or any of it's af-
fairs. but he has quoted President Roose-
Velts letter to Mr.. Quesada to the effect
that the United States has duty which
II cannot Shirk. To those whom he has
met in conference Mr.. Taft has said that
now Is the time to decide whether they
would have Cuba live as a nation He
mas weighed every word carefully and has
neither upheld nor criticised the princi-
pies of either faction

Points in Platform.

The platform, contrary to early fore
casts. took up a number Of state is
sues that were the strong planks in the
Democratic platform. and stated the
party's attitude upon them.
The following is an abstract of the
platform:
we hearty endorse the administra-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt. which. with
the cooperation of the Republican ma
jority in congress, has resulted In the
adoption of measures to secure the con-
struction of the Panama canal free

lection tariff. and we feel that the phe-

degree foolish to secure here and here

National Spirit Aroused.

Whether the men they have met i'm Ha-
vana represent the sentiment of the entire
island is a question that is troubling the
American mediators. There is some fear
that even If the ENHANCEMENT is straight
ened out here the opposing forces i'm Santa
Clara and Pinar del Rio provinces and
even in Santiago will not be satisfied
Mr.. Taft realizes that unless the nation
al spirit is aroused the commercial inter-
ests will have no confidence I'm any settle
ment that may be reached. On this point
the mediators are confronted with their
chief difficulty, for no way has been de-

Opinion of Zayas.
One sentence from Senator Zayas' adj

attracting much attention as showing the
relations between that party and the in

graphed the minister's communication to
their respective governments.
According to the Vatican's authority, NJ.
Pichon said that Mgr. Montagnini had no
diplomatic standing, that the papers Sc
questered at the nunciature were unimpor-
tant, the important documents having been
removed previously. and as the French gov
eminent had not allowed the papal nuncio
to correspond with the French bishops
much less could it permit Mgr. Montagini to
do so.
The Vatican now declares with authority
that the statement that documents were
removed from the nunciature before that
building was searched is unfounded and
calculated to deceive, and AYERS that 1t
did not emanate from the Vatican, but
from the French government.
The local press has published the sum-
mary which appeared in the Paris Matin
OF the statement issued by Archbishop Ire
land of st. Paul on the Tranco-V Vatican
conflict. This summary has not found ia
vor with the Vatican authorities, as it
blames the French clergy who are praised
by the pope.
The Osservatore Romano says this sum-
mary should be accepted with reserve as
coming from an infected source, and ex-
plains that the correspondent of the Matin

her affections from him. One day Gray
went to the house where Williams and
the woman were, shook hands with Will
liams and said he was going to Kansas
City. He went out and almost immedi-
ately returned and shot Williams twice.
His attorneys. Judge Read and Judge
Baxter, made self-defense their principal
plea though they sought to show a com

woman. Judge Sutton ruled this evidence
out. asserting the testimony showed no
such marriage Gray was convicted of

ton for new trial was overruled.
