TROOPS READY TO MOBILIZE
Bids for Horses and Mules Opened
in the West

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--So far the
preparations for trouble which may
come about in Cuba have been largely
carried on by the navy, but today more
than any previous time the army shared
the activity of the navy department,
and the military secretary, Major Gen
eraI f. c. Ainsworth, and the chief of
staff, Brigader General j. Franklin
Bell were in conference much of the
day, and summoned many other MEM
bers of the general staff to discuss the
situation in Cuba.
Brigadier General Charles f. Humph-
rey, quartermaster general, returned to-
day from a short visit in New York
and resumed charge of his department.
Although army officers seem to regard
the intervention of the United States in
Cuba as inevitable, it is not believed
that the army will take any immediate
part in bringing about peace.
Bids were opened today at number
of western points for several thousand
horses and mules to be shipped to the
army within fifteen days, and the QUAR-
termaster's department. is overlooking

HAVANA. Sept. 25.--Although in
tervention appears to be certain, both
Secretaries Taft and Bacon assured
the Associated Press that such course
would not be taken so long as n gov
ernment remains with which they can
treat but in view of a personal COM
munication from President Palma that
he rs about to throw over the matter
Secretary Taft has no great expecta-
ton that the present government will
endure for long.
Secretary Taft feels kccnly that
President Palma has been insincere in
the negotiations with the American
commissioners in that he entered upoI1
the negotiations with the voluntary
promise to abide by the decision of the
commissioners and then rejected the
very first suggestion made and refused
to offer any counter plans
This convinced Secretary Taft tha {
President Palma intended to accept
only in the event that the decision
favored the existing government and
when President Palma sent word that
he intended to resign Mr.. Taft was fur
ther convinced that the president OF
Cuba would wreck the government of
the republic rather than make PERSONAL
or party sacrifices. q
Captain Albert r. Coudon COM
mander of the American squadron here,
was summoned by Secretary Taft to-
night to consider the situation in the
event that a landing becomes neces-
Sary.
The Liberal and independent Cuban
newspapers publish extra editions to-
night, charging that the attitude Of
the government was assumed for the
sole purpose of provoking America n
Intervention, and insisting that the
government officers were lacking in
patriotism in surrendering the govern
ment to foreigners rather than to a
party of their own people.
The arrival of General Funston
causes general speculation as to wha t
he will do in Cuba.
Governor Nunez of the province of
Havana, speaking as business man
as well as political leader, said to the
Associated Press that he would vel
come American intervention, provided
the Americans actually took control,
but if they established Liberals or
rebels in control he would liquidate not
only his personal business in Cuba. but
that of all the American capital he
represented and leave the country. This
desire for full American control is re-
echoed unanimously by the business
men of all natiOna1ities

The Moderatee, however. win not at

ate assembly this afternoon they de-
cided unanimously simply to quit forth
with. They viii not even attend the ap-
oaching session or have anything
more to do with the revolution in Cuba,
alleging that they have been unjustly
treated by President RooseVelt's COM
missioners.
This determination is taken by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon however as
another indication that the Moderate
leaders. since they cannot longer con-
troll the government themselves, are
determined at whatever cost that the
Liberals shall not now, or hereafter,
obtain control
At the conclusion of the Moderate as
sembly this afternoon Vice President
Mendez Capote called on the American
commissioners and declared that he had
been instructed by the Moderate as
sembly to draft a reply go Secretary
Taft's letter to President Palma in
which peace terms were suggested

After this interview Senor Mendez
Capote said to the Associated Press:
"I have resigned irrevocapty my po-
sition as vice president of 'the republic

President Palma was forced upon him
by causes detrimental TO the dignity and
decorum of the Office of chief executive
The president will convene congress In

consider his resignation and my own.
Mendez Capote said further that the
entire body of Moderates in both
houses, as we'll as the entire Liberal
National. or Nunez party. would re-
frain from attending the eXtraordi-
nary session. AS the Moderates and
Nationalists comprise moro than two
thirds of each house, there will be no
quorum. This will block action and
rrove that the structure of consti-
tutional government no longer exists.
Mendez Capote emphatically con-
den1ned the alleged partiality of the
American commissioners, and said he
expressed the opinion of the majority
of the members Of his party when he
declared that Secretaries Taft and Ba-
con had placed themselves unreservedly
on the side of the Liberals and against
the existing recognized government.
He said that even had they accepted
the basis of peace first presented by
the naediators he did not think the is
land would have remained at peace for
thirty days.
Mendez Capote has called another
meeting of the Moderates for Thursday
to determine the attitude of the party
toward the approaching extraordinar!
session of congress.
While the developments recorded to-
day are profoundly serious, the out
