READY FOR THE WORST.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Preparation is the watchword of the army regard ing Cuba. Not only have complete plans been prepared, but every depart ment has made arrangements to meet the emergencies of intervention if it should occur General Crozier, chief of the bureau of ordnance, is now at the Rock Island arsenal in Illinois, and a few days ago he visited the Frank fort arsenal at Philadelphia. As a re- suit, considerable activity has been displayed in getting ammunition for small arms and light field guns ready for movement in case orders for such action are issued. The ordnance bd- reau has on hand a supply to equip a small army, but not enough for a large army and it is supposed that General Crozier's visit is with a view to sup plying the deficiency.
 It is stated in other bureaus of the department that plans for a possible movement have been progressing for some time and that any necessity can be promptly met The navy depart ment has received earnest requests from persons having plantations in Cuba asking that forces be sent for the protection of them. The department, with the force under command, is un- able to comply with this request.
 The information of the navy depart ment from Cienfuegos is that Com mander FulIom has landed all avail able force and utilized it to the best advantage for protecting the threat ened interests in the vicinity of Glen fuegos. It is understood that the Dixie after landing the bluejackets and ma

party and the insurrection. Senor Zayas said that the liberal party is not revolutionary but that a program Of revolution must become the program of the liberal party.
 Senor Zayas has been received by Messrs. Taft and Bacon at the home of Minister Morgan in MarionaO more frequently than the other liberal lead CTS. Vice President Capote, the spokesman for the moderates or gov ernment party, today filed a brief de- tailing the moderates' position and ad- vancing propositions for settling the controversy. This will not be taken UT for consideration until it can be done in connection with the arguments oi the opposing side.
 The commercial affairs of Cuba have suffered during the brief conflict more severely, many people say, than throughout the ten years war. Hardly shipment has left a Havana house or a factory in the last ten days Financial circles are aghast and busi- ness men are awaiting with great anxiety an opportunity to meet Messrs Taft and Bacon who are looked to tC save Cuba's credit.
 Cuban, Spanish, American and other business men are talking of uniting in a petition to Messrs. Taft and Ba- con urging some radical form of inter vention CT annexation.
 Officials of the government say theil attitude has not changed and they de- ny that any of them entertains any in tention of resigning.

CUBAN COMPLICATIONS
 IMPEDE NEGOTIATIONS
The Visit of the American Representatives
 So Far Without Result
Secretary Taft Hopeful That the Factions Faced by the Danger of Losing the Island May Brought Together in Peace.

Havana. Sept. 20.-A second day of conferences with leaders of the fac tions in the Cuban conflict has not enabled Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon to announce any plan for compromising the difficulty. So strenuous are the appeals of both the liberal and moderate parties leaders that the situation becomes increasing ly complicated as the negotiations pro gress. However, MT. Taft says he believes that when they are brought face to face with the danger of losing independence forever. all patriotic Gu bans will be willing to make conces- sions.
 MT. Taft added that the United States peace emissaries are occupying a most delicate position and have un- dertaken to hear all complaints and that until they have made themselves thoroughly conversant with the polit- ical turmoil of Cuba they cannot ex- press themselves freely in the confer ence fearing that a possible misunder- standing may have a deterrent effect on proceedings.
 The only counsel to the political leaders given by MT. Taft was on the subject of not engaging in further agi- ldIlOn lI1dI make lilcINGllllOii by the United States necessary. This advice he offers freely to all to whom he gives audience, regardless of party. He has made it clear that the United States is not seeking to exercise con trol over the island or any of its af- fairs, but he has quoted President Roosevelt's letter to MT. Quesada to the effect that the United States has a duty which it cannot shirk.
 To those whom he has met in con ference MT. Taft has said that now is the time to decide whether they will have Cuba live as a nation He has weighed every word carefully, and has neither upheld nor criticised the ac- tions of either faction. Whether the men they have met in Havana repre- sent the sentiment of the entire island is a question that is troubling the Americans There is some fear that if the sentiment is strengthened out here, the opposing forces in Santa Clara and Pinar Del Rio provinces and even in Santiago will not Ee satisfied.
 MT Taft realizes that unless the na- tional spirit is aroused the commercial interests will have no confidence in any settlement that may be reached. On this point the ambassadors are confronted with their chief difficulty for no way has been devised to obtain the sentiments of those in the field without treating with armed forces, which might be regarded as a recogni- tion of the insurgents. Senator AL fredo Zayas is generally regarded as the official representative of the revo- lution but he cannot claim that dis tinction in the negotiations with Sec 1etary Taft, as that would make him 8 revolutionist and terminate free inter course with President Roosevelts rep resentatives.

It came from Assistant Secretary Bacon, and related to some official papers about which the department had inquired MT. Bacon made no reference in his dispatch to the situation in the island

Pierce swearing that the Waters-Pierce Oi company was not a member or party to a trust.
