Havana, Cuba, Sept. 27.-That the
United States will intervene in the
Cuban trouble became a foregone con
clusion tonight, when the program OF
tomorrow's session of congress indi
Gated that the Liberals would not par
ticipate in the session, while the ac-
ton to be taken by the Moderate
members clearly shows the impossi-
bility of an agreement between the
government party and the insurgents.
Secretary Taft has every plan ar
ranged with the senior naval officers
of the American squadron now in the
harbor, for the landing of great
force of blue-jacketS and marines.
Just as soon as the non-attendance of
the Liberals at tomorrow's session of
Congress display the fact that the two
parties cannot agree, the landing will
be made.
1t is believed that the orders for the
disembarking of the sailors were Civ
en- out tonight. The actual landing
will commence tomorrow evening
The naval officers have already Sc
lected a site for encampment in the
city. Tents. commiSsary supplies
and other necessities are all in shape.
and the disembarking of several thou
sand men will be matter of only an
hour or two after Secretary Taft gives

.Moderates Cause intervention.
To the ADoderates must be assigned
the burden of having forced on Cnba
the intervention of the United States
after dealing with American Commits
sioners at arms length. treating every
suggestion from Taft with the great
est suspicion and finally rejecting all
propositions, that involved scintei-
Ia of concession, on their part. or ev-
en- the remotest proposition OF final
settlement. The government party
today decided on the program of to-
morrows session of Congress which
cannot but force Secretary Taft to
play his trump card
Will Refuse designations.
The Moderate senators and repre-
sentatives decided to attend Congress
tomorrow, and refuse to accept the
resignation of President Palma and
Vice President Cabote, the formal
rendering of which were decided up
on. as a means of making the records
show their apparent Willingness to
sacrifice their own offices, for the
benefit of Cuba. Not only will off
ers of resignation be refused, but the
Moderates intend to pass vote of
confidence in Palma and Cabote, and
to select committee to wait on the
President and notify him of the re-
fusal to permit him to resign.
The liberals said this afternoon
that they would refuse to attend to-
morrow's< session insomuch as they
would be out numbered and out vot-
ed.
All Hope Was Lost.
All hope of agreement was lost this
afternoon when committee compos-
ed of Manuel Sanguilly, representa-
tive of the Independent members OF

of the Liberals. and General Memo |

sociation, visited Vice-President Ca |

begged the Moderate leaders that |
they influence their party to agree |
on some partizan, for President Of I
Cuba.
Not only did Cabote refuse to dis |

grily against the American Peace /
Commissioners. Zayas and Gen Men

only an accenutation of the spirit I
prevalent throughout the members of 4

Taft and misunderstanding Bacon /
for their interference in tbs Cuban
matter, and accused Gen. Menocal of

His visitors left Cabote while the I
