BUT NOTHING SATISFACTORY
HAS DEVELOPED.
MAY FORCE PALMA TO QUIT
Resignation of All High Government
Officials of Cuba Hoped for by the
Observation-Disclosures of United
States Believed to Be lneVita.
BILE.

Havana, Sept. while the peace
projects have caused general suspen
sion of revolutionary operations, nc
appreciable progress towards any
thing like a satisfactory understand
ing has been made. Liberal leaders
insist that it is unjust to regard them
as insurgents, and assert that they
are merely seeking for peace, at the
same time declaring that not only
must the terms of peace be better
than heretofore talked Of but that
there must be some unquestionable
guarantee that the conditions will be
carried out.
The demands which come from the
insurgents themselves as the price OF
cessation of the rebellion are regard
ed in the capital for the most part
as not to be considered These de
mands include the restoration of the
deserters from the rural guards to
their former positions, reinstatement
of the liberals who last year were de
posed from municipal offices, reten
ton of their arms by the insurgents
and other equally radical propositions
The liberals have not yet relinquished
the hope that they may be able tc
force the resignation of Presiden;
Palma and all the high government
officials.
Many business men of Havana ridi
Guile the whole effort for what they
call patched-up peace, which they
allege, can be no more than tempo
rary, and some go so far as to assert
that the country never can be gov
erned rightly or investments be abso
lutely safeguarded unless the United
States intervenes. This is frankly
stated in some cases also by high
government officials, and brings the
retort that those who make such
statements are not good Cubans.

DROPPED FROM POLICYHOLD
ERS' COMMITTEE.
HIS LETTER CONDEMNED
Committee Resolves That the Crit
icisms Passed by the Bishop and
His Conduct in Refusing to Attend
Meetings Amount to Resigna-
ton.

New York, Sept AT a meeting
of the international policyhOlders
committee yesterday, at which Rich,
ard Olney presided, and at which al
most the full membership was pres
ent, a letter recently written by
Bishop McCabe to Alton B. Parker
was discussed and resolutions adopt
ed relieving the bishop from further
service on the committee.
The resolutions adopted recite that
Bishop McCabe had not attended any
meetings of the subcommittee; that
McCabe has failed to reply to tele-
grams and letters urging him TO at
tend this meeting and present his
views and criticising McCabe's letter.
Then follow these resolutions:
Resolved that this committee re-
CARDS the attitude assumed in said
letter as so completely out of sym
pathy with the announced purpose OF
the committee as to amount in eff
feet to surrender by Bishop McCabe
of his membership in the committee
and he is accordingly relieved from
further service.
Resolved that the chairman of the
executive committee is directed 10 re
ply to the communication Of Bishop
McCabe in such fC m as lie deems up
propriate.
Resolved that in the judgment OF
the committee it is not in the inter
est of the policyholders to accept
or endorse the administration ticket Of
either company"
It was stated that the committee
had agreed upon directors of the
New York Life as we'll as those of the
Mutual, but no names were 20 be
made public until the tickets are fled
with the superintendent of insurance

BADGERS LAND WAY UP IN
NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST

The state military authorities at
the capitol are particularly gratified
with the reports of the Wisconsin
team of rifemen in the national con
test at Sea Grit The badger marks
men showed up as high as fourth
place in some of the divisions of the
general shoot, and were expected to
land in perhaps twelfth place in the
general result. But they did better
and got ninth.
This is a showing that means much
more than most people appreciate.
There are only some $500 men in the
Wisconsin national guard and our
system has not devoted the time and
expense to the shooting department
that is necessary to develop a team of
tary work The Wisconsin rife team
is composed of the pick of the young
men who volunteer for service in the
state guard. In New York there are
some 10000 men in the guard, from
whom are selected the members of
the rife team and in the federal
troops, from whom are selected the
members of the federal or regular
team, there are about 10000 men. 1t
would be natural to expect the large
state teams and the federal teams to
far outdistance the Wisconsin boys.
When the widely different numbers
from which the teams are selected
is considered, and the other important
fact that the large states and the
regular army develop shooting with
great emphasis, expending much
money and unlimited time thereon,
the conclusion is irresistible that the
average ability of the Wisconsin
guard is much higher than that of the
New York or federal soldiery.

IRRIGATION
CONGRESS ENDS

Boise, Idaho, Sept. THE four
teenth national irrigation congress
closed last night after voting to hold
the next congress at Sacramento,
Cal, and electing as president of the
fifteenth congress Governor George e.
Chamberlain of Oregon.
There was some evidence of dis
cord in connection with the election
of secretary. D. H. Anderson, a
Chicago publisher, was the choice of
the nominating committee. His
published utterances in criticism Of
the federal reclamation service were
urged against him, but the convention
endorsed the nomination.
Shouters for "a hundred millions
more for irrigation" came before the
congress with a minority report from
the committee on resolutions demand
ing that the national congress author
ize a bond issue to raise such a fund.
Congressman Reeder of Kansas, or
posing the minority report said the
eastern congressman would resent it.
He said they had little faith in the
success of the reclamation law now
being put on trial. In this cOnnec-
ton he quoted Speaker Cannon as
having said ten minutes after the
passage of the reclamation act:
'Reeder that's the biggest and the
slickest steal have seen since I have
been in congress-"
Senator Dubois of Idaho stated that
but for the personal efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt the reclamation act
could not have been passed. The mi
nority report was voted down.

Havana, Sept 7.-Arencibas' band
of insurgents, which started out from
Santiago de las Vegas, province OF
Havana. September 4, entered Calaba-
Ear Wednesday night and took all the
horses. arms and ammunition they
could find The secret police yester-
day found at a railroad station pas
senger's trunk containing 10000 cart
ridges and some small arms.
The suspended hostilities in the
province OF Santa Clara probably
averted a severe engagement, as the
insurgent forces under General Guz
man and the government troops I'M
der Col Vale had approached close
to each other.
Government Forces Routed.

days fight in Santa Clara province

they camped. There they were at
tackled by Captain MayatO and several
insurgents were killed or wounded.

the rural guards two were wounded.
Captains Figuora and DelgadO re-
Eort a fight in the hills south of
Santiago de las Vegas, in which four

STOP AT NOTHING.
Detz Says the Lumber Company is
LaWless.

ShawanO, Wis, Sept. 7.-Apropos
of the Cameron dam matter in which
John F. Dietz has defended himself
with success, the following letter has
been received by o. Andrews of this
city:
Dear Sir: That we are right in
our contentious with the lumber com
pany, we have the papers to convince
the most skeptical. If any one had
told me previous to this case that
such conditions existed in our land Of
the free l would have thought they
didn't know what they were talking
about; but l see that the public are
getting enlightened to the true state
Of affairs Internal methods are EN-.
ployed by the corporations and I can
assure you they will resort even to
murder rather than concede to people
their just dues. 1t is a painful duty
on my part to admit that such infer
nal conditions exist, but that they
do is self-evident and they have got
to be met and quashed or the efforts
of our forefathers have been in vain.
We should, therefore, bestir our
selves. 1t is a duty we owe ourselves
and our posterity. Thanking you for
your kindness, | am yours very
truly,
John F. Dietz.'

HOARD HAPPY OVER RESULT.
Regrets the Defeat of McGoVern in

Governor w. D. Hoard 81 was not
at all pleased with it and believe that
Mr.. McGovern should have been sus-

AS for the result in the state | am
we'll pleased with it. l believe that
gradually the sentiment of the repub-
lican party in Wisconsin, both stall
warts and halfbreeds, will come to
unite upon the reforms of recent
years as things accomplished and that
a cessation of the old strife will be
the result believe the stalwarts
will drop their fractional opposition to
the measures of readjustment which
have resulted from the agitation OF
the past few years and that the gen
eral result will be a useful one.
Il believe, too, that the result will
prove very much in the interests Of
Senator La Toilette. Governor Da-
Wilson's defeat would have alienated
permanently large part of the sup
port of the senator and l told him so.
have always felt that as a careful
general he should maintain a good
source of supplies in the sentiment OF
the people of Wisconsin for him and
about him and that he ought not to
divide his support. However, | wish
it distinctly understood that have no
criticism to make against the senator
in any way He did what seemed
best to him.
Il have all the time been waiting
for the stalwarts to come upon COM
mon ground with the rest of the re-
publican party in wisconsin and I be-
lieve that the nomination of Mr. Da-
wilson has done much to bring this
about There can be no reassertion
of the old corporation influence in the
party. The republican party must
stand guard upon its own integrity and

sufficiently to fulfill his engagement

Milwaukee, Sept. Tn the ninth
congressional district, Gustav Kuester-
ban of Green Bay defeated Congress-
man E. S. Minor for the republican
nomination at the primary election en-
Tuesday. Kuestermann's majority is
between 300 and 500.
There is no change in the situation
as to treasurer. secretary of state and
insurance commissioner and it will re-
ouire the official count to definitely
decide the nomination. Doubt is
practically cleared up on the treas
urership, however, for the latest re-
turns show Mr.. Kempf has a lead Of
only about 500 in the SO counties from
which figures are practically CON-
pIete. In a number of unreported
counties Mr.. Dahl is assured OF heavy
pIuralities and will doubtless win even
in the others. His final plurality will
probably reach 1000.
T. NJ Purtell is ahead of George ID
Beedle for the nomination of commits
sioner Of insurance and now looks like
a winner by fully 1000 Ever since
Milwaukee reported, Mr. Purtel has
been ahead but the strong run of
Beedle in the country districts seemed
to indicate that he would eliminate
the Puatell lead. Later returns, how
ever, show that the Madison candidate
is holding his own. Some unexpected
things appear in figures that are now
coming IN, to the effect that Mr..
Beedle failed in some counties N
which he was supposed to have large
strength.
FroehIich Leads Frear.
For the nomination for secretary
of state William H. Froehlich still has
a generous lead over Senator James
A. F'rear. Milwaukee put the former
secretary far in the lead, but the Ger

expected of them, and while Senator
Frear is still thousands of votes be-
