REVOLUTION PUTS A STOP
TO UBA PROSPERITY

Havana, Sept. As the days and
weeks pass with no appreciable di-
minution of the revolution, the appre-
hension increases.
The most conservative testimony
from the country districts of the pro-
vinces of Pinar Del Rio, Havana and
Santa Clara is to the effect that two
thirds of the people in h country
| and small towns of these three pro-
vinceS are insurgents in sentiment If
not in fact. 1t is generally believed
the will ultimately sub
due the instruction, but in the mean
while the crops cannot be developed,
and it is a grave question whether the
| rebell1OuS spirit even then can be ac-
tually quelled to the extent of restor-
ing the country to a normal self-gov-
erning status.
A realization of this is the cause OF
renewal of efforts for the restoring
of peace. General Mario Menocal,
whom the people trust as one capable
of bringing the warning factions to-
gether if such a thing is possible,
came to Havana today and held two
conferences with President Palma.
General Menocal, after the confer
ences, absolutely refused to make any
statement.

who has been prominent in recent eff
forts to institute negotiations with in
surgent leaders, and a few merchants
and planters, held a conference to-
night to discuss the proposal to make
an attempt at negotiations with the
insurgents, and the two generals nam
ed intended tomorrow to call upon the
leaders of the liberal and moderate
parties individually and see what it is
possible to do. President Palma has
no objection to these efforts, but
makes no promises or suggestions on
behalf of the government.
The of the inSurrection
meanwhile have permitted the publ
cation of a document purporting to
n NV hao~ fo,.I
rebel camp, but which, it is reliably
stated, was first issued in Havana and
the original of which h Associated
Press has reason to believe is in a
deposit vault in the United States,
signed by prominent conspirators,
which documents give the full pro-
gram of the revolutionists' policy. 1t
is in the form of an agreement n
dated Havana, July rs.
The agreement states that senator's
elected in April, 1902, and represen-
%tatives elected in 1904 shall then
form a congress elect an interim
shall call elections for those offices
and other offices declared vacant.
Mayors and councilmen who have
been arbitrarily deposed by the exec
utive shall return to their Offices.
The document pledges the directors
of the movement to respect life and
property, re-establish order and not
to cease their labors until they shall
'Nf
the country.
In a postscript the document says:
All obligations incurred by the I'M
d~ersigned with those assisting in the
revindicating movement will be ap-
proved by he provisional government.
The undersigned shall exact this as a
debt of honor"
Pine Guerra appears to cover most
of the INT west of Pinar Del Rio
city and some territory to the east
ward.
The insurgents are increasing in
numbers in the eastern portion of Pi-
mar Del Rio province but Asbert's
force in Havana province has latter
ly been lying low and keeping away
from the various government detach-
ments sent in pursuit.
Colonel Vale is still in pursuit of
the insurgents in the southern part of
Santa Clara province, but up to the
present has been unable to come up
with them.
SpeCial attention is being given to
the defense of ava and the city
militia is employed in Strengthening
the works.
