IS ON
CUBA LID

HAVANA, Sept. 19.-Taft and
party arrived this morning. In or
der to prevent demonstration
they quietly landed and were i'm
mediately driven to the home Of
Minister Morgan, 10 miles from
this city.
The American commissioner, ac-
complished by delegation of lib
erals headed by Zayas, represent
ing the insurgents, and a party of
government supporters left at 11:30
for Morgan's house at Mariana to
begin a discussion of the Cuban
situation.
The lid upon which Taft intends
to sit here covers a volcano. The
well informed say American troops
are certain to follow. 1t may be
weeks, or possibly months, but
their coming is inevitable.
Both sides talk peace, but de-
clare there will be no concessions
made. Ninety per cent of Cuban
property is owned by Spaniards,
Americans, English and Germans.
The property owners are practical
ly solid for annexation.
English and German warships
are near, but avoid Havana, their
governments relying upon Roose-
welt.
