Only BY Intervention.

HAVANA. Sept. 22.--Peaee for
Cuba, unless accomplished through
American Intervention seems to be
further away today than when Taft
and Bacon began negotiation TO har-
monte the opposing factions.
The arrival here today of three OF
the largest United States battleships
and two cruisers In addition TO those
already here has had little eject on
the insurgents In the field and when
the leaders OF the revolution were APP
prlsed of the big squadron now In
Cuban waters they greeted the infor-
nation with the declaration: They
cannot come to the bush"
The executive committee OF the
Moderate party today voted unani-
mously to accept whatever dlsposi-
ton OF the controversy Taft and Ba-
con may decide upon In the hopes
that such concessions would induce
the Liberals to yield similarly. The
latter. however. have not as yet sig
nifed their willingness to accept the
decision OF the American mediators.
Rumored Palma WIN Resign.
II is rumored today that Palma
and the members Of his cabinet and
the representatives and senators elect
ed last December will resign tomor-
row thus conceding practically all
that the insurgents have been con-
tending for and opening a way for a
settlement OF the difficulty without
American intervention. Palma de-
clined to be interviewed on the sub
ject and other members OF the gov
eminent stoutiy denied the rumor.
Taft and bacon Abandon Hope.
Taft and Bacon have practically
abandoned hope OF finding a middle
ground and fear o decision In favor
Of either side would result In no
more than temporary tranquility for
the island.
II Is their belief that American oc-
cupation is the only way to end the
civil warfare. and II is not denied
that Intervention must be fd ed by
American sovereignty.
Taft has cabled President Roose-
welt regarding the gravity OF the sit
uation. and Roosevelt is expected to
dictate the future program OF his
commissioners.
A demonstration was made today
by armed revolutionists within a mile
of the scene of the peace conference.

TWO MAGISTRATES
UNDER INDICTMENT
Charged With Contracting in
County Road Work.
Supervisor Johnson Explains That
The Two Men Have Teams
ON the Roads.
NOTHING CONCEALED BY THEM

If the charges of the grand jury
are sustained Magistrates John
Thompson and w. T.. Lane, men,
bers of the best families in the
county, will be subjected to fine
of from $50 to 500. They we're In
dlcted by the grand jury for taking
financial part in the building or
county roads. The statutes provide
that no magistrate or county official
shall employ himself or have any
part in county public improvements.
and it is alleged that they have re-
ceved money for teams and have
actually hired themselves on public
road work. The indictments were re-
turned Tuesday but re-submitted on
account CT a techhicality and re-
turned anew yesterday afternoon
when the grand jury made its fnai
report.
The Road Supervisors Story.
Road Supervisor Bert Johnson
was seen this morning and made a
statement.
YES" he stated, both the de-
PENDANTS in the indictments have
been working teams on county roads,
but It was not contrary to law. For
ten years Magistrates Lane and
Thompson have been working teams
in road repairing. and they contin-
ued after they were made magis-
tratcs Take Lanes case and you
will sec where he is working or had
been working one or two teams in
county road Improvements at $3.50
per day The regular team hire is SO
per day and you can see where he is
really making the county present
OF S1.50 per team.
81 heard of the matter when II
first reached the grand jury and
tried to appear before the board.
For some unknown reason they
would not grant me conference,
and was unsuccessful. Had | been
permitted to make an explanation l
think no indictments would have
been returned.
The defendants have taken time
by the forelock and secured a law
yer Mr.. ]. c. Flournoy has been EN-
plnyed and he says that the indict-
ments can be quasned."
Magistrate Lane is from district,
No. s. and resides on the Husbands
road. His teams have been working
Oh n road being built in front of
property owned by aim.
Thompson resides in the Florence
station neighborhood in district, No.
G. Both are well.known and the in
dictments came as surprise.
The road supervisor states that the
fact that the two magistrates worked
teams was not kept a secret and was
known to every one; and was fur
thermore not for profit but to hasten
the completion Of county road work.
Lane and Thompson are Demo-
Gratis.
County Judge r. T. Lightfoot
charges that the indictments return
ed against Magistrates Lane and
Thompson were instigated
through malice by persons who had
been refused county road work.
Judge Lightfoot said: "The stat
utes do not say that magistrate
can not work by the day, but that he
shall not do county road work by
the contract"
