The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-09-27

Havana, By Cable-A second day
of conferences with the leaders of the
factions III the Cuban conflict has not
enabled Secretary of War Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon 10
announce any plan for compromising
the difficulty. So strenuous are the
appeals OF both the Liberal and Mod
crate party leaders that the situation
becomes increasingly complicated as
the negotiations proceed. However,
Secretary Taft said that he believed,
VIXEN they are brought face to face
with the danger OF losing indepen-
dence forever. all patriotic Cubans
will be willing TO make concessions.
Mr.. Taft added that the United
States peace emissaries are occupy
ing a most delicate position and have
undertaken to hear all complaints,
and that until they have made them
selves thoroughly conversant with the
political turmoil Of Cuba, they cam
not express themselves freely in the
conferences, fearing that possible
misunderstanding may have deter
rent effect on the proceedings.
The only counsel to the political
leaders given by Mr.. Taft was on
the subject Of not engaging in fur
tEer agitation that might make in
tcrveation by the United States nee
essary. This advice he gives audi
ence, regardless of party.
Life as Nation at Stake.
Mr.. Taft has made it clear that the
United States Is not seeking to ex-
crcise control over the island or any
Of its affairs but he has quoted Pres
ldent Roosevelt 5 letter 30 Minister
Cuesada to the effect that the United
States has duty which it cannot
shlrk. To those whom he las met
In conference Mr.. Taft has said that
now IS the time to decide whether
they would have Cuba live as ma
ton. He has weighed every word
carefully and has neither upheld nor
criticised the principles of either fac
ton.
Mr.. Taft realizes that unless the
national spirit IS aroused the CONNER
clal spirit interests will have no con-
fidence il any settlement that may
be reached. On this point the media
tors are confronted with their chief
difficulty for no way has been de-
vlsed to obtain the sentiments of
those in the field without treating
with armed forces, which might be
regarded as a recognition of. the in
surgents. Senator Alfredo Zayas is
generally regarded as the official rep
resentat,ve Of the revolution, but he
cannot claim that distinction in nego-
tlating with Secretary Taft, as that
would make him revolutionist and
terminate free intercourse with Pres
ident Roosevelt's representatives.

A Heavy Loser.

Wilmington, Special.-The United
States government is the heaviest
loser because of the recent gerat
storm on the coast. The breakwater
erected just below the present site
of Fort Caswell, about fifteen miles
below Wilmington, some years ago
has received damages from the effects
of the storm that will amount to
from 100000 To $4,000 The break
water which is about three and a
quarter miles long is composed of the
new inlet dam and the Swash De
fence Dam. the former built TO close
an inlet which broke through the
beach some years ago and the latter
TO protect the beach from the con-
slant swash Of the waves beating
upon it. These dams are built Of
rocks with some copings and they
are from thirty to forty feet high.
The stone coping of the new inlet
dam formed of granite blocks, weigh
ing from three to six tons each, was
turned entirely over and the major
ity of the heavy blocks were thrown
from thirty to fifty feet from their
original foundation by the mighty
force of wind and wave. II seems
almost impossible that such could be
but it is nevertheless true. Some of
the blocks were thrown so far by the
terrific gale that no effort will be
made to use them when the work OF
repairing the breakwater is begun.
The damage resulting from the loss
of this stone top will alone amount
to $4,000.
