FAILURE Of THE
CUBAN REPUBLIC
Secretary Taft Likely to Pro-
claim Himself Provisional
Governor Today.
PALMA REMAINS OBDURATE
INTERVENTION THE ONLY
COURSE POSSIBLE.

Havana, Sept. 27.-The~ Moderate party
tonight decided to make final effort to
perpetuate the authority of the Palma
administration by determining to reject
the resignation of the president when
presented to congress tomorrow When
this decision was reached Secretary of
War Taft and Assistant Secretary of
state Macon, the American commission
ers, had already concluded to intervene
but they agreed to await tOmorroW's de-
Velopments, as they are anxious to afford
the Cubans every opportunity TO work
out their own salvation.
Palma on His Dignity.
President Palma steadfastly refuses
every solicitation of his friends to with
draw his resignation. Typical of this
Roosevelt in response to the final urgent
message from the American president
that he remain at the helm. In this
appreciation of President Roosevelt's eff
forts to secure peace for Cuba and the
friendship he has always shown the Gu
ban people. He referred to his own pre-
vious sacrifices for Cuba, which he said
had not been made in vain, but in the
present situation and in view of all that
had transpired, he felt that further sac
rifice on his part would be useless. and
that it was not consistent with his dig
nifty and prestige to remain in office.
Situation Again Critical.
Were is possible to induce President
Palma TO withdraw his resignation the
situation still would be most difficult.
and intervention would continue to be
the most probable outcome If Palma's
resignation were accepted il would then
become necessary for congress to elect a
provisional president.
Such an election would be a new sort
of contention, not only between the op-
posing political parties but probably be-
tween the opposing factions within these
parties.
brook the establishment of a provisional
government by the Cubans simply as a
means of gaining time. They hold that if
a provisional government is created IL
must be by the United States. Secretary
Taft and Bacon would not be properly
discharging their full duties If such a
government were created in any other
manner.

body is inclined to doubt tonight that

Depends Upon Congress.

Immediate developments in the situa-

Moderate leaders tonight expect nothing
except Intervention tomorrow, it being a

that armed American forces will flock

this will not occur unless some violent
