PEACE STILL is FAR OFF.
Havana, Sept. 6-While the peace pro-

of revolutionary operations, no apprecia-
bic progress towards anything like a sat

just 10 regard them as insurgents, and

not only must the terms OF peace he

must be some unquestionable guaranty
that the conditions will be carried out 10

tinue In a waiting attitude.
Gen. Menocal was busy throughout the
day receiving callers and holding con-
ferences. He said tonight that he had
no reason 10 be disappointed with the
progress the negotiations are making. and
that the sem-official suspension OF hos
tllities. which began today In Santa Clara
and Havana provinces, would be extend
ed tomorrow TO Pinar del Rio giving the

comrades and others I'm the field and push
negotiations for peace Gen. Menocal APP
peared to be discouraged by the attitude
OF the Liberals.
The Liberals have not yet relinquished
the hope that they may be able 20 force
the resignation OF President Palma and
all the high government officials. The
succession OF Vice-President Mendes Ca
pote TO the presidency Is also discussed.
Liberals seem 10 think they could reach
an understanding with him that would
be satisfaction 20 all.
Many business men OF Havana ridicule
the whole effort for what they call
patched-up peace, which, they allege, can
be no more than temporary, and some go
so far as 90 assert that the country never
can be governed rightly or investments
be absolutely safeguarded un,tss the
United States intervencs. This is frankly
stated In some cases, also by high gov
ernment officials
Despite all drawbacks. however, the fact
that peace proposals are pending and
that hostiites generally have been sus-
pended, has brought more or less hope
