,aestions From Secretary Taft-lt Is
Hoped That Insurgents Will Accept
Compromise Offered.

Havana, Sept. %. Propositions
made by the Moderates have consider
ably changed the situation, having
paved the way for suggestions by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon for further
concessions on both sides which may
yet save the republic intact.
, Messrs. Taft and Bacon, accom-
panied by Consul General Steinhart
and Captain Mccoy, called on Presi-
dent Palma during the morning and
got his ideas on what he was willing
should be done under the circum-
stances.
In the afternoon Messrs. Taft and
Bacon listened to the views OF a num-
Der of prominent insurgents and Lib
erals, including Pine Guerra, General
Castillo, Juan Gualberto Gomez and
Jose Miguel Gomez.
In an interview Secretary Taft said
to the Associated Press:
'The proposals of the Moderates,
while not broad and farreaching
enough to meet the necessities OF the
case, evidence a desire on the part OF
the Moderates to maintain the integ-
rity OF the republic, even though they
are compelled to abandon their con
troll Consequently the situation is at
least somewhat more hopeful. There
must ne some designations showing
the good faith of the government be-
fore the rebels will consent to laying
down their arms.
AS the secretary turned to enter his
automobile he added:
"At least we have got the ice
broken"
Secretary Taft received a long ca
blegram direct from Oyster Bay. It is
understood that he was instructed to
exhaust every resource in settling the
difficulty without Intervention, if pos
sible

ARTILLERY IS WEAK.
Equipment Badly Needed by Red
 Branch of Service.

Equipment Badly Needed by Red
 Branch of Service.
 Washington. Dec. 16.--Both the coast and the field artillery are badly de- ficient in both personnel and material; neither Is even approximately in prop CT condition for efficiency in times Of peace, much less for reasonable and efficient service in war. and the time necessary to put either in the latter condition is not matter or days or weeks, but of years.
 Brigadier General Arthur Murray, chief of artillery, thus sums up tine condition of hts arm of the service in his annual report made public today. and in which he says 1t cannot be too strongly urged that appropriate legis- lationAbe obtained to make good the deficiencies and to correct the defects referred to.
 The total cost of the present system of coast defense of the United states to February 2T last, General Murray says was 721.75O.s53. and the estima- ted cost to complete the defense of the United States including estimates for ammunition and cost for sites is $50, ,s7s.S3s. The deduction made that considerably more than half the work of coast defense has been completed. The three elements of defense most needed, and which will secure the greatest measure of public safety at the least cost. General Murray aays. are the completion of the installation Of the approved system of range and position finding for ell guns, and guns mounted; and the providing of neces- sary searchlights for harbor defense at night and the completion of the sub marine mines equipment of all foru- fed harbors. The proper defense or insular ports and the entrances to the Panama canal Is estimated will cost s19,S73.S97 in the case of the for- mer and s4.B27.6S3. for the latter.

Everything EEinges on Aeeeptnnce of
 James Bryce.
 London, Dec. ie-The first Of the im- pending changes in the cabinet to be announced is the resignation of J. F.. Ellis. Parilamentary Secretary to the India offlce.
 He ia leaving on account of Ill health and Is going abroad to recuper- ate. It Is understood Walter Runci- man, Parliamentary Secretary to the local government board, will succeed him.
 Nothing Is dehnitesy known concern ing. other changAs but it Is said that the Marquis of Ripon, Lord of the Privy Seal, aid Sir H. Fowler, Cham cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. will resign, and it is rumored that Herbert Gladstone will leave the home ofiice. Sir Henry CampBell Zimmerman. how ever, according to the latest political gossip, has decided to remain In the House of Commons. In view of a llber- af attack that is about to be made on the upper house.
 Everything, however appears 70 hinge on James Bryces acceptance of tha post of Ambassador to the Unit d states. The British press is now beginning to regard Mr. Bryce's ac- ceptance as a f0regpne conclusion.
 The Tribune, referring today to the subject. points out that the post of Ambassa6or to Washington. might cas- fly become the most exalted in the di- piomatic service. despite contentious to the contrary. The paper adds that the possibility of Mir Bryce's accept ance of the post meets with, general approval both in England and in ths United States. g
 s.President Roosevelt, 1t Is said." com tinues The Tribune, ''has allowed It to be known that he would cordially welcome MT. Bryce's appointment. On this side of the Atlantic 1t is recoK~ nized that a post so attractive, innuen- tial and distinguished, would be nt- ting climax to Mir. Bryces long puolln careef."
 Among the notable .rumors $oncsrn- inw cabinet changes is enc pointing to John Burns for promotion. He is even named as the successor of Mir. Bryce as Chief Secretary efor Ireland. Tn any case he has been 50 successful in his present place as president of the local Government board. that he is regarded as in no way unlikely to be promoted.

 After the demonstration had lasted three hours an officer from the Yildiz Kiosk arrived on the scene with the promise that the mems demands would be granted. whereupon the gathering quickly dispersed and returned to quar- teTs.
 During the demonstration the public held aloof and neither the police nor the military interfered. During the in terval there was much agitation at the Ylldiz Kiosk.
