pied with the claim of the National
Meter company, for S420 for 80 meters
ordered over year ago by Alderman
Sexton. chairman of the water works
committee. This matter was thor
oughly discussed when the bill was first
presented, and after looking into the
claim, the council allowed the bill at
$37S, or at the rate of S7.36 each, the
price of other meters of the same
style. The company declines to ac-
cept the amount, and at the meeting
last evening George Irwin, the COM
panys representative who sold the me-
ters here, presented the claim, insist
ing on complete settlement. The
meters, with the exception of half a
dozen, have not been used, and it is
possible that the difficulty will be
solved by the return Of the appliances.

Political Compromises
Held Solution of Gu
ba's Trouble.
ATTITUDE is MODIFIED
Feeling Prevails That Parties
That Started War Ought
to End it.

Havana, Sept. 4.-fPeace through po-
litical compromises is the sole topic
of conversation in all the best inform
ed clubs. where it is recognized that
this is the only way of bringing about
settlement of Cuba's internal trou-
bles.
Therefore there is a general disposi-
ton not to agree. with the stand taken
by President Palma, that the govern
ment should not treat with the insur-
gents upon the basis of arranging a
compromise, and the president is un-
derstood to have already modified his
attitude TO the extent that he has no
objections to private negotiations on
the subject.
The leading newspapers represent
ing all parties press the idea of po-
ltical settlement, and it is believed
that public opinion will soon set ire
sistibly in that direction.
Parties Ought to settle 1t.
A common expression heard is: "The
war began through dlnerences between
the political parties, and therefore they
are the ones who ought to settle it in
the most prompt and effective manner
possible, save the dignity and sover-
eighty of the republic. and avert fur
ther bloodshed."
1t is believed beyond further doubt
that an attempt 10 arrange peace
through some compromise will now be
made.
Hears a. right.

vices received by afr. Aldamo. the
fighting occurred between Matanzas
and Havana last Wednesday. 1t re
suited in a complete Iout of the insur
gents and so pleased President Palma
that he sent a personal telegram of

ment forces.
