t THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTE3IBER 6, 1906. PEACE MOVEMENT GROWS HAVANA All Parties Hold Conferences With View to Ending the Revolt. NEW ELECTION PROBABLE General Resignation of Congress Hay Be Preliminary to Pacifica tion Hostilities Suspended. Rebel Leaders Consulted. HAVANA. Sept. 5. Peace is in the air. and on all sides tonisht there is hope that matters will be arranged between the government and the insurgents so as to avoid further bloodshed. However, there has been no tangible advance to ward an agreement or to a definitive ar rangement for negotiations. In the mean time, flghtins has been practically sus pended. Delegates Informally chosen by a small group of veterans started today to the camps of Pino Guerrera, Colonel Asbert. General Guzman and others of the insurgent leaders with the purpose of learning what will he acceptable to the actual fighting leaders of the revolution. A similar committee started for Cienfue goa to consult, under a flag of truce, with the Insurgent leaders in Santa Clara Prov ince. Active 'Warfare Suspended. Late this afternoon General MenocaJ. General Ccbreco and other veterans held a conference with Alfredo Zayas. the leader of the Liberal party, which, how ever, did not result in reaching any un derstanding. At the same time Uie exec utive committee of the Moderate party was holding a conference at which the subject of peace was excitedly discussed, although no determination was reached. The Associated Press is informed, al though the fact has not been, made public, that the government commanders have been directed to suspend active field op erations until it can be determined what can be done to end the war. It Is feared that the demands of the insurgent leaders In the field will be much more exacting than those of insurgent sympathizers in the cities, who ostensibly, at least, assume to be noncombatants. . Liberal Leader Knlgmatlc. In the conference with Senor Zayas this afternoon. General Menocal and others stated that they had no plans formulated, but that they wished to hear from him. Senor Zayas rather enigmatically respond ed that, while he was desirous of assist ing the peace movement, he could not use his Influence unless it was for either a temporary peace, with an opportunity to arrange details later, or a peace procured at all costs. He said the whole matter was a political question which had taken the form of an armed protest and that It must be treated from the political stand point. He called attention to the willing ness of the Liberal Senators and Repre sentatives, even those who were not elect ed at the last election, to resign If their opponents would do likewise, and make an appeal to the country. He said the Government, as a govern ment of the people, must not be intran elgeant, but must recognize the people's protest. Unlike Spain, the present Gov ernment of Cuba must remember that the people themselves must be reckoned with. A peace, to be permanent, must extinguish the fires of dissatisfaction and not leave them to smolder by covering them with ashes. Stormy Meeting of Veterans. The veterans, who are somewhat puz zled to understand the attitude of Senor Zayas, said they would communicate with him again after formulating more defin itely the ideas they might have to pro pose, in the meanwhile they urged him to have a full consultation with the Lib eral leaders. General Menocal and his associates. veterans of the wars with Spain, had a Btormy session tonight. General Meno cal's remarks were Interrupted by Liberal veterans, who angrily resented what they called his dictatorial manner and his as sumption of right to instruct them what they ought to do as patriots. The Gen ral responded with equal warmth. Con siderable temper was shown on both sides and the meeting Anally dissolved In anger. The result is a temporary drawback to the peace negotiations. Moderates Fail to Agree. The consultation of the executive com mittee of the Moderate party wasi at tended by nine members. A wide diverg ence of views was expressed in excited conversation, which resulted only in eliciting the opinions of the members. None of them was willing to concede any thing approaching what the Liberals com monly talk of demanding. General Men ocal and his associates, however, by no means regard their efforts as hopeless, but expect that the negotiations will meet at the outset all sorts of divergent opin ions. The Moderate leaders tonight say they have done nothing as yet but talk mat ters over a little. It is evident, however, that some of them clearly realize the necessity of at least a semblance of an effort to bring about peace, no matter how strong the Government may feel, since they do not wish the party to take the. responsibility of pressing the issue to further bloodshed and other of the disasters of war. AV1II Demand New; Election. The Liberals, if they agree to any thing, will want some form of assurance for the carrying out of pledges -which will satisfy their party and induce those in active insurrection to lay down their arms. General Monocal today visited Jose Miguel Gomez and all the other dis tinguished alleged conspirators, who are in prison here. All were disposed to persist in the demand for general res ignations and subsequent elections. It is believed that the Clenfuegos committee held a conference tonight with the Insurgent General Gozeman and other Insurrectionary officers at Camarones, Santa Clara Province. Various leading veterans have been called to Havana to consult with the provincial peace committee. Asbert's Bands Still Active. Although Governor Nunez reports that the Insurgent bands in Havana Province are well scattered, the opera tions of Colonel Asbert's numerous bands continue. All the .testimony from the Gulnes region is to the effect that the Insurgents are active and numer ous. , Very few complaints are being re ceived at the American Legation here of Interference with the property of Americans in Santa Clara Province, though there have been several re quests for protection. Colonel Baldomero-Ascota, a promi nent resident of Havana, who recently told President Palma that he would not join the Insurgents, is said to have con nected himself with a new band at Santiago de Las Vegas. A, machlno sun company left by train tonight for Santa' Clara, and another is reported to be following by steamer to the Province of Plnar del Rio. The pre cise destination of either company has not yet been divulged. American Flag as Protection. TAMPA. Fla., Sept. 5. General Ace veda, a Cuban military officer, has ar rived here on a government mission to ascertain the real attitude of Cubans in Tampa regarding the Cuban revolution. Two firms in Tampa have about 40,000 head of cattle on Cuban ranges, which are valued at Jo00,000. One firm pur chased large numbers of American flags and displayed them about its Cuban ranges, hoping thus to prevent depredations on property. Active Campaign in Ten Days. HAVANA. Sept. 5. Brigadier-General Guzman, commanding the rebel forces In the province of Santa Clara, is reported to have received a commissioner sent to him by Pino Guerrera, the rebel com mander in Plnar del Rio province, or dering Guzman to avoid any engagement with the Government forces until after September 15, when, unless advised to the contrary, he must begin an energetic campaign. Big Havana Shipping Firm Fails. HAVANA, Sept. 6. The shipping and importing house of Bridal, Montrose & Co., agents of the French Trans-Atlantic Steamship line, failed today with liabilities of 1600,000. The banks are heavy losers on account of alleged over-issues of the firm's commercial paper. DISLOYAL COSSACKS DRIVE GARRISON FROM TASHKEND. Local Authorities in a Number of Sections Overawed by Rebels Act ing Jointly With Soldiers. QUETTA. British Beluchistan, Sept.. 8. (Special.) News reaches here that the Russian revolutionary movement has pen etrated to the Asiatic possessions of the Czar, and at various points in Central Russian Asia, the consequence of revolu tionary propaganda being mutiny and bloodshed. It is remembered that several of the most costly rebellions the Russian Em pire has encountered originated In the uprising of the wild natives of Central and Western Asia, and now that It is reported that the Cossacks stationed in Asia have shown signs of defection, a general Cossack mutiny is within the range of possibility. The situation in several localities . Is admitted to be most serious. The local authorities have been overawed by the organized societies of revolutionists, act ing in frank co-operation with the troops. The soldiers are openly disloyal. The Cossacks Join with the Russian infantry men in the mutinous disregard of ...e authorities. The most serious outbreaks so far re ported here occurred within the past few days at Tashkend, the capital of Rus sian Turkestan. Disloyal Cossacks and soldiers mutinied and with a mob of rev olutionists attacked the fort, eventually capturing the post and forcing the loyal soldiers to retreat from the city. Dur ing the battle 100 soldiers were killed and many Injured. Owing to the difficulty of communica tion across the frontier, details of the troubles are very meager, but on Lue other hand their occurrence Is not re ported publicly at all in St. Petersburg. 4 ALL IN PANIC AT SEVASTOPOL Commander Cannot Trust Soldiers and Officers Threaten Terrorists. SEVASTOPOL, Sept. 5. In answer to the publication of a notice from the Ter rorists that a sentence of death had been Imposed on Colonel Dumbadze, comman der of a rifle regiment here, the officers of that corps in an open letter have an nounced that, in case of an attack on the Colonel, they will exact vengeance on the leaders of the progressive parties. Admiral Skrydloff, commander of the Black Sea fleet, and the military com mander here are very apprehensive re garding the attitude of the sailors of the fleet and the garrison of the fortress. The cruise of the training squadron as well as the regular fleet maneuvers have been postponed, the ships ' scarcely ven turing beyond the range of the guns of the fortress. The military patrols In Uie city have been withdrawn inside the walls of the fort, due, it is said, to the. fear that the soldiers will be corrupted by contact with the masses. The merchants of this city have prac tically been thrown on their own re sources In the matter of protection from lawlessness. The Governor, at a recent meeting, advised them to organize their own guard, as soldiers could no longer be spared for police duty and the mu nicipality is bankrupt. PROGRAMME OF REFORMS OUT Severe Measures Against Reds and More Provincial Autonomy. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5. An official communication embodying the whole government programme was published tonight. The programme embraces court martial for political crimes and an in crease of the penalties for revolutionary propaganda and expresses a firm deter mination to preserve order. It also prom ises a liberal measure of reform and that useless restrictions on Jews shall be abolished forthwith. Measures are promised in the direction of greater provincial autonomy. Zemstvos will be Introduced. In Poland and the Baltic provinces. An Income tax will be instituted. Reforms in the police and other public services are also promised. A general meeting of Octoberists and peaceful regeneratlonists will be held at the end of September. It Is believed that at that time the Octoberists will be dis solved or merged with the peaceful re generatlonists. . The communication, which was issued after protracted discussion by Premier Stolypin and the Council of Ministers, leaves the situation but little altered. The one thing evident Is that the Premier in tends to carry out broad reforms on one hand and to pursue a policy of repression on the other. The establishment of courts martial for political crimes signifies the supplanting of the civil court wherever extraordinary Insecurity exists. An imperial ukase statuting this law was Issued after the publication of the proclamation. It empowers Governor Generals, where martial law or extraordi nary Insecurity exists, to place civilians or military men charged with crime upon trial before a military court consisting of five officers, the trial to take not longer than 72 hours from the beginning of the process to the execution of the verdict. This is entirely a new law, as heretofore in practice only military or naval muti nies and uprisings, such as that In the Baltic provinces last Fall, were occasions for courts-martial, and St. Petersburg, Moscow, "Warsaw and practically the whole of Russia are now under this cate gory. The programme, as announced in the official communication, is not the full programme of the government, which probably will be issued at the end of Sep tember or early, in, October. CARS AR RUNNING E IN THE BAY CITY Cheering Thousands Hail the Ending of the Strike That Tied Up United Railroads. CALHOUN NAMES TERMS President of the Company Promises to Arbitrate All Questions on Return of the Employes to Their Posts. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5. The strike of the street-car men on the United Rail roads, Incidentally also that of the line men, electricians, foremen and construc tion workers, came to an end tonight, when the strike committee of these unions officially declared the Ftrike off. The car men immediately reported for duty at the various car-barns and soon cars began leaving the barns. As the first cars proceeded on the va rious lines through the city they were greeted with tumultuous cheering by thou sands of people, who lined the streets and to whom the appearance of the cars was the first notice that the strike was off. The calling off of the carmen's strike followed the action of the' union in mass meeting last night, voting to return to work and arbitrate afterwards, the only way in which President Calhoun, of the United Railroads declared that he would treat with his former employes. Despite the action of the carmen last night, several times during the day the dove of oeace hovered uncertainly over the scene. For a time the question of peace or continued strife hung in the bal ance," and once all negotiations were de clared off when Calhoun refused to re ceive a committee of the union until the men had returned to work. Calhoun Taken at Ills- Word. The temper of the strike board became decidedly bellicose when this committee made its report and some members were for fighting it out to the bitter end, but the conservative element prevailed, and a majority voted to return to work upon Calhoun's promise that he .would then consider the merits of the demands made by the different unions. This promise was made by President Calhoun in a letter sent to Edward J. Llvernash, representing W. D. Mahon, president of the Amalga mated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, In which he stated that when the members of the different unions returned to work he would receive the officers of their respective organiza tions and immediately proceed to arbi trate the questions at issue. Each union is to be considered separately. Upon re ceipt of this letter the Joint strike board declared the strike oft. Late tonight President Calhoun held the first meeting with a Joint committee of five representing the unions, and the first steps were taken toward the prompt ar bitrations agreed upon. Calhoun stated after the conference ' that there Is a strong probability that there will be no need of arbitration, and believes' that the schedule of wages which he Is pre pared to submit to the unions will be ac ceptable. Defeat for the Union. The carmen demanded $3 a day for eight hours, and their return to work up on the conditions laid down by the TJnlted Railroads Is practically a defeat for the union. Much feeling, it is said, was man ifested by members because of the way in which the strike was conducted and, according to the report, 30 motormen and conductors gave up their union cards today. . The strike of the carmen was declared August 26, and the entire system of the United Railroads was so effectively tied up that not a wheel has turned since then, and business in general in the city was seriously afTected by the suspension of car service. The strike of the line men, electricians, firemen and construc tion workers has been on from four weeks to three months, and re-construction and re-habtlitatlon of the street car lines was completely at a stand still. Of the 2000 strikebreakers Imported by the United Railroads, President Calhoun said that many of them would remain in the company's employ and that it could use them as well as the former employes In the building and operating of projected lines. CAMPAIGN ISSUES DEFINED (Continued From Page 1.) Illegal trust methods; but toe principle of excluding or burdening foreign competition with home manufactures Is the protective system. In other words, the question pre sented is whether it Is wiser to maintain the benefits of the protective system and deal with the evils of the management of trusts by specific legislation directed to those evils, or In an attempt to curb trusts, to pull down the entire protective eystem. It Is impos sible to segregate from the business of the country and the schedules of a tariff the particular articles that are the subject of trust manufacture. The whole schedule of duties Is so complicated that an attempt of this sort would be certain to involve inde pendent enterprises pursuing only legitimate methods. More than this, of all the trusts, the most conspicuous one, the Standard Oil Trust, receives no benefit from the pro tective tariff. The trusts do not embrace all the industries of the country, and even upon the trusts it would be most unwise to Inflict the punishment of annihilation, be cause the legitimate business which they do Increases the wage fund out of which wage-earners are paid, and Is part of that prosperity which the people of the country are now enjoying. The best and only safe way to reach .the evils of the trusts Is, therefore, as the President has said, by direct legislation and executive action. Revision Sentiment Grows. The readjustment of tariff schedules Is a most difficult matter, because they so di rectly affect the welfare of many localities. A proposition to change them when carried to the point of actually formulating a bill always creates division in the party propos ing it, as we saw In the passage of the Wilson-Gorman bill. In that Instance, the Democratic party, professing to be for a tariff for revenue only, adopted such a bill In the House, but encountered so much Democratic opposition In the Senate that the bill as passed was a hybrid and only brought disaster to the country without even giving the principle of tariff for a revenue a trial. Speaking my Individual opinion and for no one else, I believe that since the passage of the Dingley bill there has been a change In the business conditions of the country making t wise and Just to revise the sched ules of the existing tariff. The sentiment in favor of a revision of the tariff is growing in the Republican party, and in the near fu ture the members of the party will doubtless be able to agree on a reasonable plan. But the work of the present session, which was pressing In its urgency, could never have been accomplished if there bad been intro duced. Into Congress and the councils of the party the heated discussions certain to arise avac ihe questions of the revision of the COMPLETE ASSORT.

How soon the feeling In favor of re vision shall crystallize into action cannot be. foretold, but it Is certain to come, and with It those schedules of the tariff wnlcn have Inequalities and are excessive will be read Justed. The reasonable prospect of a re vision of the tariff by the Republican party should certainly be greatly preferred by those who favor revision and yet believe in the protective system, to legislation which Is always ' threatened by the Incoming of a Democratic Congress and a Democratic ad ministration under the battle cry "A pro tective tariff Is a robbery of the many for the benefit of the few," and to the disaster to general business which Inevitably follows. After a plea for the reduction of the tariff on Philippine products, he turned to the attacks on the Senate. He said: Defends the Senate. ' It Is noteworthy that to the proper for mulation of all these measures which have redounded so much to the credit of Mr. Roosevelt's administration, the Senate has contributed a wealth of ability and legisla tive experience, and that instead of .defeating- or narrowing measures supposed to be Inimical to corporate Interests, It made the chief legislative act of this Congress the railroad rate bill more comprehensive and effective by Its amendments. There has been nothing more cruel and unjust in the history of politics than the re cent attempt by magazine articles to de stroy the reputation of some of the greatesc and ablest men In the Senate who have de voted their lives to the public service, and who have elevated and dignified It, by at tributing to them corrupt motives for their legislative course and by charges of the vaguest and most unsatisfactory character which it Is impossible for them to answer, and which they must . leave to a grateful public to spurn and reject as unfounded, in the light of their honorable Uvea Such charges are not made merely out of a ma licious desire to Injure the particular Sen ators, but they are made cunningly and viciously to further the Impression that most men now prominent In public life are cor rupt, or are under corrupt influences, and thus to stir up and Inflame the passions of the ignorant and the unfortunate against the existing order. He paid tribute to Congressman Little field for his services In Congress and then discussed the Gompers anti-injunction bill. Profits of Smelter Trust. . NEW YORK, Sept. 5.
