Make Final Effort. Havana, Sept. 28.

SCARES MODERATES They Fear Uncle Sam May Give Jobs to Liberals, FORCES CUBANS TO NEGOTIATE Rebels and Government Will Treat With Each Other Marines Needed Anyway. Havana, Sept. 27. -The government party laat night abandoned ita basic contention that it ia impossible to treat for peaco witli armed rebels, and pro posed to negotiate directly with a com mltteo of ita opponents. It agreed to leave all points upon which under standing Is not reached to tho final ar bitration of Secretaries Taft and Bacon. The government first suggested that it would treat with tbo Liberals if thoy would lay down their arms, but tho Amorlcan commissioners ruled that this stipulation waa unfair and the Moderate representatives hold thia vlow. It ia beyond question that both par tloa were brought to a more tractable frame of mind by tho verbal ultima tum Issued by Messrs. Taft and Bacon yesterday in tho namo of Prosidont RooBovolt, that, unless thoy consent to a fair arbitration, tho United States must t'ompol tho Bamo by n temporary military occupation. Such occupation, it was declare,!, would not mean Amor lcan sovereignty. It would continue only until now elections -had been held, tho government firmly established and ordor restored. Whatovor tho outcomo of tho negoti ations between the Liberals nnd Mod erates may be, It is felt here that thoro will bo need for nil tho American ma rines within reach, as thero la little confidence in tho ability of the rebel leadera to control their men when or dered to give up thoir arms and returu to their homes. It is tactltly understood by the com mittees of tho two parties that, unless an agreement la reached this week, armed American intervention will en sue. The Moderates declare that the appointment of a committee to negoti ate with the Liberala doea not mean the conceding of new elections. Tho general disposition to get togother ia stronger. NOMINATED IN NEW YORK. Hearst for Democrats and Hughes for Republicans Will Lead Fight. New York, Sept. 27. lly nominat ing Charles K. Hughes, of New York city, (or governor, tho Republican state convention turned down tho old leaders and recognized tho now ones, headed by Herbert Parsons, chairman of the county committee of New York county. It also bowed to tho judgmont of Pres ident Roosoveit as to the strongest ran dldate to nominate, and accepted the preference of Governor Hlggins. By electing Timothy L. Woodruff for state chahman it finally retired "Boss" Odell, placated Senator Piatt and at the same time recognized the ability of a man who is a strong political force irrespectlvo of his affiliation with any of the old bosses. Tho control of new leadera waa furth er emphasized by the absence of Sena tors Piatt and Depew, who have not missed a state convention in many years. The old leaders, however, wero pacified by the renoinination of all the state officers excopt that Lewia was namoJ for controller in place of Otto Keleey. Buffalo, Sept. 27. William It Hearat, backed by "Bobs" Murphy, of Tammany Hall, hue been nominated for governor by tho Democratic state convention. Tho platform extends fe licitations to William Jennings Bryan without eaying anything about the presidency. With Hearst two cf the other candidates of the Independence league nominated for state offices eat lier In thia month thobe of lieutenant governor and secretary of state were nomiated by the democrats. Wreck Police Chief's House. Helsingfore, Finland, Sept. 27. A Becond bomb was thrown during the night against the residence of Captain Albrecht, commander ot the police, fol lowing the unsuccessful attempt made early yesterday morning to blow up the pollen reserve barracks. The captain's house was wrecked, but there was nn loss of life. It is thought that the perpetrators of the outrage were actuat ed by a spirit of revenge for the recent arrests of the Finnish refugees in Stockholm, in which the Finnish police co-operated. Honors for Japanese Heroes. London, Sept. 27. Telegraphing from Tnkin, thu correspondent of the Daily Telegram fays that, in connection with war honors, Marquis Ito and Field Marshals Yamagata and Oyama tiavd been created princes and Vice Ad mi ra. Togo a marquis, PALMA QUITS JOB. Will Thus Force Intervention by tho United States. Havana, Sept. 20. Tho Cuban re public stands on the vorgo of a Becond period of American intervention. Tho Moderate party, which sir woeka og9 waa in control of every offico fn tho Is land, national, provincial and munici pal, ia determined to abdicate every thing and compel the United States to Intervene. In fact, every government officinl from President Palma down is sincerely anxioua to forco bucIi inter vention rather than yiold to any one of tho terms offered by tho Liberal party and those iz arma against tho govern ment. The Liberal loadora characterize the conduct ot the government as treason to tho republic, while Secretary of War Taft regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to forco the hand of tho United Statea into intervention. Thia, it haa boen Btated, ia precisely what President Roosevelt has been moat anxioua to avoid. Senor Palma haa called a special ses sion of congress for Friday, when he will present the resignation of himself and Vice President Mendez Capote. The Moderates, howevor, will not at tend that session of congress, for in their hurriedly called National Mod erate assembly yesterday afternoon they decided unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will not even at tend tho approaching session or have anything moro to do with tho govern ment ot Cuba, alleging that thoy have boon unjustly treated by Mr. Roose velt's commissioners. FOREIGN IMPORTS EXEMPT. Moody's Opinion on Meat Inspection New Ruins for Exports. Washington, Sept. 20.

Clearance ia to bo denied to any ves sel carrying meat producta for exporta tion whoro regulations havo not been strictly complied with. Tho rules will go Into effect on October 1. CAUSE SHORTAGE OF COAL. Railroads Refute Cars and Boost the Prko to Consumers. Salt Lake, Sept. 20. That tbe rail roads aro to blame for tho high price and periodical vhortago of coal in Salt Lake waa the conclusion to be drawn from the testimony presented before Oharleo A. Prouty, of the Interstate Commerce commission todav. The in quiry waa adjourned until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock when it will bn ro'timoil in Denver. Mark Hopkins, who opened two coal mines at Cumber laud, Wyo,, was sworn an an expert today. Ho ia d that coal could he placed In care at Wyoming and Utah mines for f 1 a ton and allow a reason able profit. Tho present price on board cars la 2 a ton. Salt Lke dealera pay f 3 75 for tho coal laid down and the consumer pays $5.25 a ton. P. J. Quealy, manager of the Kern meror, Wyoming, coal company, and Thomas Sneddon, superintendent of the Dianiondville mines, admitted that their output could be Increased to pre vent the, annual winter ehortages, hut said that the railroads did not furnish cars to carry a larger product. An attempt was made to show that tho Union Paeifio railway carries sup plies for Its minea at a lower rate than that quoted to independent operators, but this waa not substantiated by di rect testimony. Army Is Ready. Oyster Bay, Sept. 20. Plans for the transfer of troops from the United States to Cuba in event of the failure of Secretary Taft'a mission to bring about a peaceful solution of the trouble in the island republic have been com pleted. The final step was taken to day, according to an announcement made here tonight, when the transport Sumner, now lying at the New York navy yard, waa put in commission. Negotiations are already under way for the acquisition of merchant steamers to be used as transports. Adds to Montana Reserves.
