MOVE FOR PEACE
WELL UNDER WAY
But Uncle Sam Is Still Sending
Warships to Bay of
Havana.
SITUATION is GENERALLY
REGARDED SATISFACTORY
Definite Settlement of All
Trouble Likely at an
Early Date.

HAVANA, Sept. 1.-THE only re-
suits thus far Of President Palna's
order for the suspension of hostil-
tiles have been that Liberal leaders
who hitherto have had every reason
for anticipating arrest are circulat-
ing openly in Havana again and
even comforting with members of the
Government with regard to peace,
and that such insurgents in the fold
as have been consulted, while they
express themselves as agreeable to
settling matters arn.cably, at the
same time assume an independent at
titude which cannot be said to bode
particularly we'll for prompt set
tlement of existing differences.
In the meanwhile Cienfuegos is in
state Of siege, communication by
telegraph being severed not only in
the direction Of Havana, but to San
tiago as well, It Is known that
Cienfuegos had not been attacked
UP TO midnight Sunday, but what
has transpired since that time is
not known here. All accounts agree
that there easily are 5000 insurgents
few miles southeast Of Havana,
and rulnors are in circulation that
they will enter the city peaceably If
they are not molested, but that they
will fight if they meet with resist
ance.

So Say SmOOt and His EccleSi-
aStical Associates: Farley
P. Not Considered.
AP0STLE-SENAT0R MEETS
WITH BROTHER APOSTLES
Smiths Legal Complications
Causing Apprehension That
More Trouble Is in Sight.

Senator Smoot was here Yesterday in
conference with his ecclesiastical col
leagues, and it is safe to say that the
programme which he presented to them
had their full Endorsement, AS the po-
litical apostle, Senator Smoot is tho
leader Of his quorum. They understood
clearly that he indorses Joseph Howell
for denomination, and that while he will
permit Farley p. Christensen to think
that he is in the game, and while he
will permit ecclesiasts 10 use a pros
pective nomination to Congress as an
inducement TO Parley Z, not to crowd
the complaint against Joseph T. Smith
for violation OF the laws of the State,
he will not allow any authority TO 90
so far as TO commit any of the genuine
influence to Parley's aspirations,
Smoot Is Agitated.
Incidentally the situation Of Presi-
dent Smith is causing n great deal of
agitation. Senator Smoot expresses &C.
clesiastically his great regret that
young Royal G, was permitted to make
his advent into this vale of teurs ut
this iuopportunc tlmc-at any rate he
feels that the prophet s wife should
have been in some other part of the
world, or If the birth was to necessarily
take place here at Salt Lake. he feels
that there should have been no felony
committed IN connection with tho fl
ing of the birth certificate. All these
monstrous irregularities and violations
of law, Apostle Smoot understands. will
have a bad effect upon his ease at
Washington. Having inundated two
apostles upon the altar of his political
ambition, Apostle Smoot does not
understand why all of the other rulers
of the church and their families do not
hold themselves in complete subiection
to accommodate the needs Of his case
He has had many troubles during this
investigation and one chief OF these has
been the proved outragcs upon law by
his associates of the hierarchy. There
was Joseph f. Smith, who said that he
had broken the law repeatedly, and that
he intended to continue TO do so, al
though he had been commanded by God
to obey the law of the land That was
a sockdolager for Smoot. Then there
was LYMAN who gave much the same
testimony; and that was another blow

zens of the kingdom of God on earth,
of which Joseph T.. is the divine ruler

Smoot is the political prime minister
But if he is TO bc confronted by more
Smithism in the form of birth record
of Roval c., born last June to the presi.
dent of the church by his sixth if not
his last wife, there is to be more trouble
for Smoot when he gets back to Wash
jngton.
Then there was the American party
situation to consider. Ever since the

Probably Howell is the strongest man

point out that if the American party

"Seed Sowing of Soul"

The Ohio Street Baptist church was the scene of two good congregations and as many able discourses Sunday morning and night. The regular pas tor, Rev. s. H. Campbell, occupied the pulpit both hours. which fact is assur- ance enough of the interest of his con- gregations.
 '.The Souls Struggle Toward Per. lection was the subject of the morn ing sermon, and it was able. and e:c quent.
 But it was the night discourse which merits greater praise. 'The Seed Sowing of the Soul, and the Ger tainty Of the Harvest" is pronounced one of the best discourses that D.. Campbell has yet delivered in th;s city-which, by the way, is saying a good deal With the foundation of both divine authority and humanity g experience back of him, Dr. Campbell constructed out of his subject matter the framework of the most convincing argument ever heard in Pine Bluff pulpit.
