SAY INTERVENTION
WAS UNNECESSARY
MODERATE PARTY BLAMES THE
PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
SIDED WITH THE REBELS
Bases of Peace Submittsd by Taft
Practically the Same Terms as
Those Demanded by the insurgents
Intervention an Accomplished
Fact Before Formally Proclaimed.

Havana, Oct. 2.-The executive coin
mittee of the moderate party has is
sued a manifesto strongly inferring
that the American commission is to
blame for intervention. 1t summar
ICES the attitude of the party, eulo-
gizes Palma, his actions and his res
ignation, reiterates the legality of the
sibility for the revolution and the re-
suits thereof. The manifesto asserts
that the bases presented by President
Roosevelt's commissioners were prac-
tically the same as those submitted
by the liberals. In justification OF
their action in deserving congress,
the moderate leaders say that inter
vention WINS then already an accom-
plished fact They consider the in
timation of the American commission
ers, that the retention of the presi-
dency by Palma was the only posi-
bic solution bringing any result other
than intervention, impossible and
they declare furthermore that they
were not able to assist in congress
whose powers had been declared il
legitimate.
The document says also that the
American commissioners, in order u
back their erroneous Interpretation
of the situation, sent letter to the
speaker of the house stating positive
ly certain conditions as essential for
the person eligible to the presidency.
The moderate party could not act
without liberty of action and it
therefore resolved not to return to
congress.
In conclusion, the manifesto says
that the party will always sustain So
cial order and these same principles
which will eventually restore to Cuba
the integrity of her institutions.
General Machado of Santa Clara
has issued a circular urging all patri-
otto Cubans in the field to lay down
their arms, return to their homes,
protect life and property from wan
dering marauders investing Santa
Clara province, and to modest no one
who has served the government.
Violent MaIcontents.
1t is reported here from Guanatamo
that 600 armed rebels, who collected
near that town, are Selling horses,
cattle and provisions. Governor Taft
and the Cuban authorities regard the
report as exaggerated, and believe
that it refers to small bands of mall
contents who have not yet learned OF
the peace arrangements. The rural
guards have not attempted to pursue
or dispense these bands since the set
tlement of the trouble and the begin
ming of the disarmament.
Anti-American Demonstration.
The first anti-American demonstra-
ton occurred in Havana last evening
when $50 academy students and other
youths struggled through some down
town streets shouting viva the Cuban
republic" down with American con-
troll" The demonstration was not
treated seriously. The crowd re-
ceived few accessions.
Powers Not Yet Notified.
Washington, Oct. 2.-President
Roosevelt last night had long con-
ference with Secretary Root and At
torney General Moody. Both cab
met officials declined TO discuss the
nature of the discussion. Just prey1-
Gus to their call the president re-
ceived Cuban Minister Quesada, with
whom he had brief talk regarding
Cuba. Upon leaving the white
house Quesada stated that he had
called to thank the president for his
letter to him, for Secretary Taft's
kindly proclamation, and for the eff
forts that the president is making for
the people of Cuba.
At the conference between the
president and Root and Moody, it is
believed, not only Cuba, but some
other important questions engrossing
the attention of the government were
discussed.
1t was stated last night that 40
notice has been sent as yet to the
foreign powers announcing American
Intervention in Cuba.
The conference broke up shortly be-
fore midnight. Mr. Moody remained
some time after Mr. Roots departure.
None of the parties to the conference
had anything to say regarding the
matters discussed.
