 Which Tranquility Will be Restored
 Not Thought Possible Until Yester-

 American MediatOrs.
 Havana, Sept. 23.-All classes are now waiting for the conditions under which tranquility will be restored in Cuba, and keen disappointment is ex- pressed on every side because of the likelihood of peace being brought about without armed American intervention.
 That the differences of the opposing factions could be reconciled was not be- lleved to be possible until to-day, when it was announced that the liberals and insurgents had empowered a committee to represent them before the American 
 It is evident that the business inter- ests of the island have no confidence in the ability of the Cubans to rule them selves and now, when it appears too late, they are openly favoring forclble intervention and possibly annexation. Secretary of War Taft is cognizant of this general opinion that peace cannot last unless it is enforced by an Amer lean army, but he considers that it is the duty of the United States to give the republic another chance, and be- lieves that it would be bad policy for the United States to keep a force in Cuba longer than was required to su- pervise the laying down of arms. He said to-day that if the liberals and harmonize their differences the United States must regard the compact as made in good faith
 That peace will come as the result of the mediation of the United States it is now believed by Cubans, regardless of party affiliations but whether it will be on terms that will insure permanent is questioned.
 Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre- tary of State Bacon spent Sunday quietly, receiving few callers. Repre- sentatives of the veterans and of the corps made brief visits Senator Alfredo Zayas later met the mediators at the American legation, and arranged for their first meeting with the insurgents and liberals com mittee at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. All conferences hereafter will be held at the legation on account of it's access sibility, since most of the visitors to Messrs. Taft and Bacon reside in Ha- vana.
 When the diplomatic representatives of the foreign powers visited MT. Nor gan's villa at Marianao to-day, MT. Taft significantly stated that he could give them no definite assurances of peace, for the reason that terms had not been put forward. This statement was in response to an expression from Gaytan do Ayala, the Spanish minister, that the world expected the United States to settle the turmoil on such generous but firm conditions as to the integrity of the republic.

NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY
SHOCKING CRIME DURING EAR LY,SUNDAY MORNING HOURS.

Dismembcred Body of Man Wrapped
 in Burlap Bag Found in an Exca-
 vation--The Bag, Strip of a
 Woman's Skirt and an OiIcIeth Table
 Cover Bearing Rude Sketch of the
 Landing of Columbus, the Only An-
 mediate Clues.
 New York, Sept. 23.-A burlap bag stamped with the name "Z K. Mano," a strip of woman's skirt and an oll- cloth table cover bearing rude sketch of the landing of Columbus are the only immediate clues to the perpetrators of 3 reyolting murder committed in the early hours of this morning and acci- dentally revealed by a discovery in West Thirty-sixth street to-day.
 The dtsmembered body of man, ap- parently an Italian, wrapped in the burlap bag, was found in hole twen- ty-four feet deep forming part of an excavation at GOA West Thirty sixth street, where an addition to a brewery is to stand. The discovery was made by the day watchman for the building contractors, and later a systematic search by the police resulted in finding the parts of mans legs from the knees down, and the arms and hands. These were wrapped together in a newspaper of the date September 10, and bound about the bundle was a strip of wom- ans skirt. All was neatly and securely tied with string, suggesting deliber- ate preparations. This latter bundle was found under a covering of hay ip a freight car at Thirty-sixth street and Eleventh avenue. The car was unload ed of a shipment of horses yesterday. The head and the thighs are missing.
 It Is the theory of the police that the murder was committed near by where the body was found and that three packages of the dismembered parts had been made with the purpose that they be disposed of at some distance from the scene of the crime The police be- lieve that the persons carrying the bum dles became alarmed and hurriedly dis posed of them at the nearest convenient hiding place, They expect to find a third package in the same vicinity,
 Coroner's Physician Weston, who ex- amined the body, said that the work of dismemberment had been deliberate ly and skilfully done, suggesting the work of one familiar with surgical in- struments.
 Dr. Weston uncovered the body, which had been first wrapped in a then covered with a table cover of oilcloth. Dr. Weston said that from appearances the remains were those of an Italian or Syrian, in life about five feet three inches in height, approximately 13O pounds, and, from the appearance of the hands, probably a mechanic. The body had been washed after death, which had evidently preceded the discovery of the murder only a few hours. The physi- elan said death had occurred after Sat
