feet being of nature which NAV af-
feet the immigrant S ability to earn
living; children under II years, unless

mists, criminals and prostitutes.
The head tax is imposed on aliens
entrance, except in certain cases, and
is abolished in the case of foreign
official coming to the United States
overland. The bill further provides
that steamship companies be required
to furnish lists of all outgoing aliens

grant stations for the purpose of in
ducing aliens to settle there.

PALMA HAS CALLED A HALT
uBAN GOVERNMENT STOPS
FIGHTING.
When Secretary Arrives They Can Say
Say They Have Followed the
Preslden3's Advice.

Havana, Cuba. The government
is making final strenuous efforts to
restore peace.in Cuba and thus avoid
any tind Of American intervention.
The object of these endeavors, II is
stated, Is that II may be able to say
by the time Secretary Of War Taft
and Acting Secretary of State Bacon
arrive that peace already has been
secured, and that there is no need for
the American governments interven-
ton, either to restore peace, or insure
permanent tranquility.
Following RooseVeIt's Advice.
Members Of the government say
that they are making the efforts In
accordance with the advice contained
in President Roosevelt's letter; that
they have no objection to the friendly
assistance of the United States in the
matter, II 1t becomes necessary, but
that they believe they can settle it be-
tween the government and the revo-
lutionists without the necessity of any
intervention. At least they say they
are making an attempt to accomplish
this unaided, and with fair prospects
of success.
This is the latest phase Of a rapidly
changing situation that developed
when an extraordinary gazette was is
sued containing decree signed by
President Palma, on the recommen-
dalton of the secretary of public
works, Monalvo. The decree follows:
IAN campaign operations are
suspended. and in consequence
the government forces will act
only on the defensive throughout

The Stars and Stripes were planted,

himself, who informed Mr.. Sleeper and
myself that he gravely doubted the
ability Of the Cuban government to
protect American property and per-

fact that l have offered asylum on the

sire to seek such safety"
