REBELS FEAR
UNCLE SAM
Quieter Now
That Roosevelt Threatens
TO End Rebellion
PALMA MAY YET RESIGN

By our own Wire. Publishers Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 15.-Met fairly and
squareIy by President Roosevelts bold
and open stand, the impending Cuban
crisis has apparently been temporarily
checked.
Following the publication here this
morning of yesterdays developments
at oyster Bay, a very decided lull is
noticeable. There is less excitement
in the streets, and the fever heat Of
the populace, which has been so ap-
parent for the last few days, has sub
sided. There is less radical talk in
the streets and an apparent inclination
to await the effect of the brandishing
Of President Roosevelt's big stick.
Whether the present lull will con-
tinue cannot be stated. Many have
lit that upon second consideration many
| lCubans will construe the act Of the
American executive as arbitrary and
uncalled for, and that a consequent
demonstration against Americans and
American interests will result. Now
IDldlll al kut llidl lllt WI ~ - Nf~- 'f''N-
that the arrival of Secretaries Taft
and Bacon VIII probably result in the
satisfactory settlement of the present
disquieted conditions.
It is pointed out that according to
their own statements, the object of the
revolutionists was simply to make a
demonstration against the Palma gov
ernment: that they desired to avoid
bloodshed If possible. and that if the
downfall os the present administration
could be effected by a show Of arms
their purpose would be accomplished.
Lull in the Fighting.
Despite several wild rumors Of an
advance Of the revolutionary forces
from the south toward Havana, tho re-
ported fall of Cienfuegos, and the de-
struction Of several railroad bridges IN
Pinar Del Rio province, all OF which
are discredited here. it is generally be-
lieved that there is a lull in the fight
ing all over the island, and that thu
disposition Of Havana people TO avail
the effect of President Roosevelt's ac-
.tion is general throughout the island.
It is a little early. however TO fore.
cast the real effect here of yesterday:
series of developments and many be.
lieve that before nightfall there vii
be a marked change in the tempera'
ment of both the insurrectionist and
the administration people.
