CUBA WITHOUT GOVERNMENT.

Action of President Palma Puts 1t Up
To Roosevelt.
Havana, Sept. 26--Cuba today Is prac-
tically without a government, and the
landing of American forces to restore
order in the island is believed to be the
necessary outcome.
The moderate or government party
decided to abdicate everything In the
nature of national, provincial and NUM-
cipal government, and thus force the
hands of the American Peace Commits
sioners and thus compel the United
States to intervene for the second time
in Cuba
The liberals, or opposing party. de-
nounce the action of the Palma admin
istration as treason. but the conserva-
tive interests throughout the island
welcome the idea of American interview
ton as being the only means OF Sc
curing an orderly administration of
the islands affairs for any length Of
time.
1t is pointed out that even If the
American Commissioners succeed In es-
tablishing the liberals in power. it
would not insure peace in Cuba and
that the period of unrest would con-
tinue indefinitely.
The government officials admit that
they prefer American Intervention to
seeing the liberal party in power. Pres
tdent Palma at a special session OF Con-
gress. called for Friday, will formally
present the resignation of himself and
Vice President Mendez Capote. but 1t

of BOssism.

New York, Sept. 2s.-Charles e.
tyupbes received the notification Of his
nomination for Governor by the Re-
publican Convention today at his home
in West End Avenue with his wife
and two daughters. The news came to
him in the form of a. telephone message
from the Associated Press and little
later the confirmation was found In an
official telegram from the convention
itself. Immediately he forwarded a
formal message OF acceptance through
Senator Alfred r. Page.
Mr. Hughes was content to allow
this message to be his only public ut
terance at this time. In It, he pointed
out that he accepted without pledge
other than to do his duty according to
his conscience and he declared also
that If elected 1t would be his ambi-
ton to give "a sane, efficient and hon
orable administration, free from faint or
bossism or of servitude.
He declined to discuss his candidacy
or his probable attitude on the issues
of the campaign, but said that his pub
lie statements during the canvass would
be confined to the platform, to which
he was prepared to apply himself.
There will be no interviews In the
newspapers" Mr.. Hughes stated. land
no entrance into a newspaper discus
sion. What / have to say will be said
on the stump.
Although nothing has been finally
determined, IL is expected that Mr.
Hughes will make vigorous campaign
and that he will speak throughout the
State. His plans for conducting the
canvass Mr.. Hughes preferred not to
disclose.

LETTER OF PALMA.


able Thing to d.
Havana Sept. 2S--The following Is
the, text of President Palma's letter OF
Yesterday to the American peace com
missioners. Secretary and Assistant sec
retary ns state Bacon, announcing that
he intends to resign the presidency
and refusing the peace terms offered TO
him: =
To acknowledge the receipt of your note
of Yesterday, the cath, In which you
express in a general way your opinions
ana points of view, according to your
own personal investigation. OF the
cause of the present rebellion in Cuba,
its state and the means to finish 1t. In
order to re-establish peace and order
and public quiet in the country.
Il could raise some objections and
prove them, to your estimate OF the
numbers of the armed insurgents. and
the sympathy to which you consider
them entitled. But 1t is useless now to
enter on a discussion of this kind, in
view of the course you have adopted
ana your resolution to make peace by
all means.
ut is, therefore, my only purpose,
in courteously replying to your note. to
repeat here, in brief. what l expressed
in the COME rence you kindly had with
me last night, namely, that consider
the conditions you understand to be
necessary for the rebels to lay down
their arms contrary TO my personal
dignity and the prestige of the Gov
eminent over which preside, and that
1 have accordingly taken the irrevoc-
able decision to present to Congress my
resignation OF the office to which i was
appoinsd by the will of the Cuban peo-
pie at the last presidential election. :"

throughout the night When the oppo-
sition to Hughes found 1t impossible,
or at least tnadvisable to nominate
Bruce and began seeking elsewhere for
a candidate, defeat for the old timo
leaders and victory for the new and
almost unknown leaders followed
swiftly.
The understood preference of Prest-
dent Roosevelt for Hughes and the
description of Governor Higgins that
he was not opposing that preferred
candidate. contributed materially to
the result, but all this would have
been unavailing had 1t not been for
the decided stand which Mr. Parsons
maintained from the time he arrived
in Saratoga until the opposition crum-

The platform begins as follows:
Assembled as delegates to the Re-

record our pride and confidence in Pres

has done in fulfilling the will OF the
people; in protecting both labor and
capital: in preventing unfair discrimi-

the Panama Canal; in securing pure
food laws and uniform naturalization
laws. and also in eIevating the standard
