Rodriguez Working in Unison
With American Officials.

Havana, Sept. 2S-American inter-
vention in Cuba will be an accom-
plished fact tomorrow. Roosevel.'s
peace commissioners patiently with
held their hands from thus setting
aside Cuban sovereignty until the
last hope had disappeared At late
hour tonight, when the majority of
all three political parties refused to
attend the session of congress called
to act upon the resignation of the
members of the government and de-
clared definitely that they would have
nothing more to do with the govern
ment Of Cuba, as was expected. There
has been considerable rabid denun-
citation of the American commission
ers, who, it is alleged, have acted un-
fairly toward the government. But
the great mass Of the residents of
Cuba welcome Intervention as some
thing they have longed for through
out the six weeks Of disorders.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Both the
war and navy departments have been
practically on a war basis. Today
advices from Cuba were anxiously
awaited. The cruiser Des Moines has
been ordered from Havana to Glen
fuegos to assist in protecting prop
erty. This was the only naval order
of Importance. In the war depart
ment there were a few conferences
and few orders issued in conse-
quence issued. Hiring transports is
the only detail necessary to complete
the preparations for war.
Havana, Cuba, Sept. 2S.--It is GER.
tain that American Intervention will
take place tomorrow. Twenty-Five
United States marines were landed
here tonight, but Taft's proclama-
tion, creating himself provisional mil
itary governor of Cuba, will be issued
tomorrow. Further force of Ameri-
cans will be landed tomorrow. The
city is policed by rural guards. Gen
eral Rodriguez, commander Of the ru-
raj guards, is cooperating with Taft.
Up to the time that congress took u
recess at ) clock this afternoon, was
a day Of waiting. After that hour
various probabilities became certain
ties. by $3.50 President Palma def
nitely and firmly announced his resig-
nation irrevocable. Following this
announcement the Moderates held a
long consultation Mt the residence of
Senator Dolz, president of the sen.
ate, at which was decided no Moder-
ate should return to the session after
recess thus precipitating condition
in which no provisional president
could be lected. This throwing up of
their hands would practically give
over control of affairs to the Ameri-
can commissioners.
Up to that point the attitude of
| the commissioners also been a wait
ing one. During the day Taft heard
various kinds of propositions and
counter propositions. None of these
propositions proved agreeable to all
factions Among those who visited
Secretary Taft today were Governor
Nunez and other Liberal Nationals.
They regretted that Palma persisted
in his determination to resign. Zayas
came too and asserted that Secretary
of Interior Moltavo had 800 soldiers
in the arsenal close to the house Of
representatives and was prepared to
shoot him and other liberals if they
approached the house for tonight s
meeting. 1t was in spirit Of utter
appathy that the joint session in the
senate house received the designations
of the president, vice-president and
members of the cabinet this after
