Havana Until After Arrival of Pine
Guerra's Professionalism War.
ships Will Protect British Interests.

Havana, Sept. 18.-The only results
thus far of President Palma's order
for the suspension of hostilities have
been that liberal leaders, who hitherto
have had every reason for anticipat-
ing arrest, are circulating openly in
Havana again and even comforting
with members Of the government with
regard to peace and that such insur-
gents in the field as have been con-
suited, while they express themselves
as agreeable to settling matters ami
cably, at the same time assume an
independent attitude which cannot be
said to bide particularly we'll for
prompt settlement of existing Difficult
ties.
In the meantime Cienfuegos is in a
state of siege, communication by tele-
graph being severed, not only in the
direction OF Havana, but to Santiago
as well. 1t is known that Cienfuegos
had not been attacked up to midnight
Sunday, but what has transpired since
that time is not known here. All &C.
counts agree that there are easily 81
900 insurgents few miles southeast
of Havana, and rumors are in circula-
ton that they will enter the city
peaceably, if they are not molested,
but that they will fight if they meet
with resistance. All visitors to insur-
gent camps in Havana province re-
turn with this impression, but it is be-
lieved no attempt will be made
against Havana until the arrival of
Pine Guerra's force, which now is va
riously reported to be from twenty to
forty miles distant. The general i'm
preston is that the presence in Ha-
vana harbor Of the American cruiser
Denver will not act as deterrent to
such movement, the auxiliary cruis-
er Dixie having gone to Cienfuegos
and the cruiser Des Moines having
gone presumably to bring to Cuba

The peace endeavors have really re-
solved themselves more into negotia-

erals than between the government
and the insurgents. The moderates,
while entirely loyal to President Pal
ma, seem now to be less concerned
over his continuance in office than
with the perpetuation of the control
by their party. Mendez Capote, as
president of the moderate organiza-
ton, and Alfredo Zayas, as president

able to dominate the situation.
