TAFT IS DISCUSTED
WITH WHOLE THING
He Says He Has Never Seen a More
Deplorable Situation, But Still
Has Slight Hope.

Havana, September 25.-Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon in
formed the Associated Press this morning
that they were thoroughly disgusted with
the petty methods of the government lead
ers here and the American commissioners
admitted that they had practically aban-
doned hope of bringing peace from the
turmoil unless by the use of force. Mr..
Taft said:
"The government officials. instead of
cooperating with US to save the republic,
have resorted to every kind of obstruction
with the object of continuing their control
of the administration. President Palma
and his advisers have rejected terms Of
peace which were honorable to them,
though In the form of a compromise with
their opponents. We are still striving to
arrange a settlement and we trust the
American people will give us credit for
doing everything possible to accomplish
settlement without resorting to force. /
cannot say that we are hopeful, for l
have never known a more disgusting sit
uation Investigation convinces us that
the elections were thoroughly rotten. We
do not want to intervene. but the condi-
tions affected may necessitate It, Our
reports show that the insurgent command
ers have lost control of their forces, which
are now lawless bands that any moment
may loot and burn. The situation seems
to demand the use Of force"
The American commissioners have de-
cided not to keep their engagement to
revisit >,esident Palma, because of his
attitude today.
Secretary Taft admitted that tprms
agreed upon retain Palma as president,
but he had listened to the bad counsel Of
his cabinet ministers who were less for
tunate.
The situation here has been cabled to
President Roosevelt.

of the proper authorities TO bring order
and security out of confusion.
IF they do this, they will have the
sympathy of good people the world over.
wherever I have met them, without
exception, 1 have found the leading col
ored people as much opposed to crime as
the leading white people, but what is
needed now is to get the best element
of both races together, and try to change
the present deplorable condition of af-
fairs We of both races must learn that
the inlexible enforcement of the law
against all criminals is indispensable, and
in this | will do my utmost to have my
race cooperate.
The Atlanta outbreak should not dis
courage our people. but should teach a
lesson from which all can profit And we
should bear in mind also that while there
is disorder in one community, there is
peace and harmony IN thousands of
others. As a colored man | cannot re-
frain from expressing a feeling of a very
deep grief on account of the death of so
many innocent men of both races be-
cause of the deeds of a few despcable
criminals

PLANS ARE COMPLETED
FOR SENDING TROOPS
Two Battleshps From Fighting Bob's
Squadron Sailed Last Night
Post Haste for Havana.

Oyster Bay, N. ", September 25.-
Plans for the transfer of troops from
the United States to Cuba in the. event
to bring about peaceful solution of
the trouble in the island republic have
been completed.
The final step was taken today, ac-
cording to an announcements hi%te here
tonight when the transport Sumner, now
lying at the New York navy yard, was
put in commission The Sumner is in
readiness for the immediate embarkation
of troops Negotiations are already un-
der way for the acquisition of merchant
steamers to be used as transports.
That the events of today as told in the
press dispatches have hastened plans
which have been long in preparation
seems apparent Additional warships Will
reach Cuba within a few days and will
be ready to land marines If necessary
long before the arrival of the regular
troops now waiting can be moved.
should armed Intervention come, these
forces undoubtedly will form the van
guard of the invading army
Secretary of War Taft has not yet
given up hope of bringing about settle
ment of the difficulties between the
Cuban government and the Insurgents
without resort to armed intervention. The
advices from Cuba which nave been re-
ceiyed at executive offices up to tonight
according to Assistant Secretary Latta,
are by no means as pessimistic as the
newspaper reports which came from Hn-
vana today.
1t appears to be the opinion here that
Secretary Taft still believes that peace
may be yet the oucome, in spite of
the difficulties which have arisen.

Not Apply to Them.

Washington, September "a de-

spection recently enacted by Congress
does not apply to foreign meat prod
ucts shipped into this country.
The question was raised by import
ers, and the department of agriculture
held that the law applied to the prod
ucts, and permitted inspectors to pass
on them practically as they pass on
domestic meat products. The question
was referred to the department of
justice for opinion, which was pre-
pared several days ago and submitted
to Attorney General Moody, who con-
Cured. 1t Is understood.

Lose Hope Of Peaceful Settlement.
Both navy and army officers seemed
to lose all hope of a peaceful settlement
of the Cuban difficulties after the re-
ceipt of dispatches today announcing that
the Secretary is much discouraged over
the situation and believes that force must
be used to restore peace in Cuba Briga-
dier General Elliott, commandant of the
marine corps, was in conference many
times during the day with Acting Secre-
tary Newberry of the navy department
and Admiral Converse, chief of the bu-
reau of navigation. Col. w w. Wither-

several other army officers connected
with the general staff were In consulta-

prominent officers in the navy depart

Army Shares In Activity.
So far. the preparations for trouble
which may come about in Cuba have
been largely carried on by the navy,
but today more than any previous time
the army shared the activity of the navy
department, and the military secretary,
Maj Gen. F. G. Ainsworth, and chief
of staff, Brig. Gen. Franklin Bell, were
In conference much of the day.
Although army officers seem to regard
the intervention of the United States in
Cuba as inevitable 1t is not believed that
the army will take any immediate part
in bringing about peace.
Bids were opened today at a number
of western points for several thousand
horses and mules to be supplied to the
army within fifteen days, and the quar-
termaster's department Is not overlooking
any detail which will assist the troops In
case they were called upon for service in
Cuba
Unlimited supplies are available at

Troops have been selected for possible
service in Cuba and arrangements have
been completed for transportation from
present posts to ports on the Atlantic
seaboard where they will embark.

In less than half an hour today all the

According to the consensus of opinion
tonight William r. Hearst, who is already
the nominee of the Independence league
will probably be nominated for governor
on the first ballot. The old party men,
however, while going into the convention
tomorrow with the announced purpose OF
supporting Hearst, are not pledged TO
such course, and If a storm should
break, they would feel under no obliga-
tions to adhere to their present plans.
