The city of san Juan and the island or

decreased for five seconds. Following
this came the most severe shocks, tht
earth shaking violently for five sec

Today is Positively the Last
Call by the American Com
miSSionerS Before the United
States Steps in,
MARINES READY TO LAND
AT A MOMENTS NOTICE
Final Action of the Cuban Con-
greSS Today Will Decide the
Future Of the ISIand-FunS-
ton ON the Scene,

Havana, Sept. 2T.--The moderate
party decided tonight to make final
effort to perpetuate the authority of
the Palma administration by deter
mining to reject the resignation of
the president when presented to con-
Eress tomorrow. When this decision
was reached Secretaries Taft and Ba-
con, the American commissioners had
already concluded to intervene, hut
they agreed to await tomorrow's de-
velopmcnts, as they are anxious to AZ
ford the Cubans every opportunity to
work out their own salvation.
President Palma steadfastly refuses
every solicitation of his friends to
withdraw his resignation.
Typical of this was the cablegranr
he sent to President Roosevelt In re-
sponse to a final urgent message from
the American president that he re-
main at the helm. In this President
Palma said he felt that further sacri-
flee on his part would be useless and
that II was not consistent with his
dignity and prestige to remain In Of
flee
Were II possible to induce Presiden,
Palma to withdraw his resignation the
situation would still be most difficult.
and intervention would continue to be
the most probable outcome. IL Presi-
dent Palma's resignation were accept
ed II would then become necessary for
congress to elect provisional presi-
dent
The American commissioners will not
brook the establishment ot a provi-
slonal government by the Cuhans sim
ply as a means of gaining time. They
hold that If provisional government
Is created Il must be by the Ulnited
states. Secretaries Taft and Bacoh
would not be properly discharglns
their full duties If such a government
were created in any other manner.
This being the situation, nobody is
inclined to doubt that within twenty
four hours Secretary Taft by authori-
ty of the president of the United
states, will proclaim himself provI-
sional governor of Cuba. Such gov
crnment however. would be made Gu
ban as far as it was possible to do SO.
by continuing the various departments
under the immediate control of the
present heads thereof.
Immediate developments depend on
the action taken by congress.
In the meanwhile preparations for
the landing of marines and blue jack
cts from the American warshps have
been fully completed and within n
short time after Secretary Taft issues
the order all advantageous points
which already have been selected by
naval officers would be occupied by
force of AZ least 2.500 men.
Such an order would not he given
until Secretary Taft regarded II as alb
solutely necessary. but 1t is certain
that the present conditions will not be
allowed TO be continued for more than
one day longer. The new acceptance
OF President Palma's resignation and
its Withdrawal will be Cubn's last
card.
General Funston arrived here to-
day.

Wells Fargo, over 5000 miles There
are also contracts with the Adams and
other concerns.
Owing to the comprehensive nature
of the express business over the lines
of the system and the heavy and con-
stantly increasing returns from that
branch of the service, the Rock Island
interests consider that It will prove
wise policy for the company to assume
charge of its own express business,
thus assuring the road the benefit OF
all its transportation facilities. It is
understood that none Of the express
contracts with other companies viii be
renewed on their termination.
The Rock Island will thus be the
its own express service. The Gould lines
for years have been conducting the Pa
cific Express company, and the Hill
lines have also their own organizations
for this branch Of the service The
Northern Pacific has it's own express
company, and the business over the
Great Northern railroad is carried on
by the Northern Express company or
gaBized by the Hill interests. and is q
highly productive source of revenue 70
the road.
Others May Follow.
It has been generally believed that a
movement viii soon be inaugurated BY
most of the great railway systems by
which they will organize their own ex-
press companies, ending their contracts
with outside concerns. This would be
still further to their advantage Should
the government adopt the parcels-post
system.
But one of the principal reasons thai
are actuatiEg railroad interests in this
matter is the disclosure of the heavy
profits made by the large express con-
panieS, some Of which are Gaming as
much as IS per cent on their stock Re
cent agitation by minority interests III
the express companies for larger divi-
dends have furthermore called atten-
ton to the enormous SURPRISES in the
treasures of the concerns. The rail-
road interests see no reason why their
own properties should not obtain the
profitable revenues from that particular
branch of the service. They have their
own organizations as 1t is, and the
installation of their own express ser
vice would prove neither difficult nor
expensive.
