ina on in Havana-Loss In Crops.

Havana, Sept. Slopes of those
who tentatively suggested a PROPOSE
ton OF mutual concession as a means
oil ending the rebellion were shattered
Sunday when President Palma called
General Cebreco, one of the proposed
peace commissioners, to the palace
and informed him that the government
has no concessions to offer or accept
and no intention other than fighting
the matter through and suppressing
the insurrection. General Menocal,
who headed the list of the proposed
commissioners, sent word to the pro-
moters of the project that he would
have nothing to do with it unless he
could approach the insurgents with
definite offer of some kind from Pres
ident Palma The promoters, how
ever, are not entirely discouraged, and
another meeting may be held later.

rection by September 10, 1t would ask

decided, it has decided to see the tning
through by all the force of arms 1t can
command and abide by the results.
The number of daily enlistments is
