MUST INTERVENE-j Only Disposition ol tne Contro versy In Coba. TAFT DESPAIRS OF MEDIATION Moderates Willing to Accept Terms of Med'ator. but Liberal Not Inclined to Yield. Havana, Sept. 22. Peace for Cuba, unless accomplished through American intervention, teems to be further away now than when Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of Bute Bacon began negotiation to harmonise the opposing faction. Tbe arrival today ol three United State battle ships and two cm iter in addition to thoee al- reidy here has bad little effect on tbe insurgents in tbe field, aad, when the leaders of tbe revolution were apprised ot tbe squadron' pretence tbey greeted the information with Spanish expres sions to tb effect that: "They cannot com into tbe brash." A meeting ol tba executive committee of the Moderate party was hastily sum moned this evening and it was voted unanimously to accept whatever dispo sition of the controversy Messrs. Taft and Bacon may decide upon, in the hope that such a concession will induce tha Liberals to yield similarly. Tbe latter however, have as yet signified no willingness to accept the decision of tbe American mediator. Messrs. Taft and Bacon have practi cally abandoned their hope of finding a middle ground and fear that decision in favor of either side wouia result in no more than temporary tranquility (or tbe island. It ia their belief that American occupation is the on'y way to end the civil warfare, and it is not denied that Intervention must be fol lowed bv American sovereignity. Mr, Taft has cabled to President Roosevelt regarding the gravity of tbe situation, and Mr. Roosevelt is expected to die late any further program.
