M'S WAR STATUS:
PEACE AMD REBELLION
(Scrlpps Nws A relation)
Havana Sept., 22 The big question
rpw formirn Cuba is not whether the
United S-5 A is to intervene but in what
. form of t intervention to be offered.
Surely Taft has received the statement
of all the factions and indicates that no
agreement can possible be reached which
' will place the government whoolly in Cuban
hands. American officials now contend
that their only reason for intervention is
. because of the constant turmoil and one
proposition is for President Palma to
continue with the rights of the
rebels to !
be guaranteed by America. Secretary
Taft is about ready to ignore both factions
and appoint a native commission to devise
a solutionjot the troubles to be inforced

Havana. Sept 22 A congres:man,
having close relations with the govern
ment today asserted that Palma will re
sign before pight and the American troops
will march in soon after.
-. HOPEFUL FEELING EXISTS
Havana, Sept. 22 The basis for agree
. ment upon the points of dispute between
the insurgents and the government, is
believed to have been reached, according
to current reports following the twenty
. minutes conference this aftenoon between
the American commissioners and Presi
dent Palma. It is understood that the
Insurgents' chief has promised Taft this
morning tp submit their cause unreservedly
to the erican intermediators. In all
quarters vftere is hopeful feeling since the
arrival of American emissaries.

yesterday. The caole to Taft today orders

retary Taft is in conference with the
rebel generals today. The secretary is
seeking to guarantee that the insurgents
will sccept as final the dicision of the
commissioners. Here-to-f ore the rebels
have been independent and self assertive
and if the United States sustains Palma's
government, they will still continue to
fight The rebel leaders complacently
remarxea wnen told that a Meet was in
the harbor that, "ships could not sail to
the woods." The rebels will probably
accept the American decision in the con

today there were no issues at stake.
"The country is united upon legislation
of the past and the needs of the future,"
declared the senator, "And the contention
is whether the policy of Roosevelt shall
continue or the policy of the opposition
prevail. The real issues that will rise
before the 1908 election will be Govern

rows beautiful specimens of nearly every
known variety of vegetables. On the
corner was a neat pile of monster water
melons, next came boxes of juicy peaches,

prunes, cantalopes, five varieties of apples,
red peppers, carrots, celery, turnips, corn,

thority and spare four or five midshipmen
now recommended for dismissal, as the
result of their misconduct. There are
seven cases in all before the Navy depart
ment ready for the consideration of the
President They come from the Nava
Academy, and are the first to be sub
mitted under the so-called anti-hazing
law, although none of them are in any way
related to that particular offence. Indeed,
the superintendent of the academy says
there it no more hazing. The present
culprits are those who have been guilty of'
various minor infractions of the rules of
the institution. Each has had a chance to
be heard in his own behalf and to offer
whatever defence he may. Seven of the
cases considered by the head of the acad
emy were regarded as sufficiently serious
to go to the Secretary of the Navy with a
recommendation for dismissal, an action
which must be taken to the President
The latter will undoubtedly exercise clem'
ency in a number of the cases, turning the
boys back one year to the next lower
