PRESIDENT PALMA YIELDS
Such is Report Being Circulated in tho
CITY of Havana-Government Said to
Have Conceded Everything.

It was ru:nored in Havana late Mon
day afternoon that the government
and the moderates had tacitly decid-
ed to concede practically everything
to the liberals and rebels.
Victory ior the liberals or reVolu'
tionary party seemed certain Monday
night At the conclusion OF long con-
ference between a committee OF the
Insurgents, of eight members, and the
American peace commissioners. Inc
insurgent committee announced tnat
there was practically no differences
remaining between them and Secre'
taries Taft and Bacon, and that they
would receive a draft OF the peace
rlans. These probably would be agreed
to at meeting to be held in the pre-
sidia. where the prisoner members
Of the committee are confined.
Secretary Taft said he could give
no details cf what transpired at the
conference for the reason that 1t was
now necessary to treat with the gov
ernment leaders, and that the publ
cation of the peace proposals might
Interfere with their prompt accept
ance
Messrs. Taft and Bacon went to the
wallace at once, and informed Presl-
dent Palma of the outcome OF tho
negotiations with the liberals.
The absence of a definite statement
from the commissioners makes it i'm
possible 70 say whether the plans
carry the designations Of the pres
ent administration and the congress-
men elected last year or not. There
is a strong impression that President
Palma will remain and reorganize the
cabinet. but that new elections Will
be held for the senators and repre-
sentatives who were elected last year.
In discussing the situation secre-
tary Taft said that he would go over
with Alfredo Zayas, the leader of the
liberals, the variations that the I'D
eral leaders desire in the memoran-
dunn of the peace program. IF we
reach a conclusion" the secretary
said, 1--WE hope to announce it Tues
day night"
Mr.. Taft evinced great pleasure
at the progress made thus far, and
it is evident that he regards the re-
mainder of the negotiations as mat
ter of working out Ne details OF the
peace agreement. This bears out the
insistent rumor in circulation that the
government abandoned much OF its
opposition to receiving the liberal
leaders, and it was apparent that the
reace commissioners felt that while
there was Nd reason for rebellion IN
Cuba, there was real foundation for
liberal complaint against the election
methods of the administration party.
