The Moderate party, which six weeks e g ) was in control of every office in the is land, national, provincial and munici pal, is determined *o abdicate every thing and compel the United Rtates to intervene. In fact, every government official from President Palma down is sincerely anxious to force such inter vention rather titan yield to ary one of tbe terms offered by the Liberal party snd tiioee in arms against tbe govern ment. Tbe Liberal leaders characterize the condnct of the government as treason to th« republic, while Secretary of War Taft regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to force tbe band of the United States into intervention This, it has been stated, is precisely what President Roosevelt has been most anxious to avoid. Senor Palma has called a special see sion of congress for Friday, when he will present the resignation of himself and Vice President Mendez Capote. The Moderatee, however, will not at tend that eession of congress, for in iheir hurriedly called National Mod erate aeeembly yesterday afternoon they decided unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will not *ven at tend the approaching session or have any thing more to do with the govern uient of Cuba, alleging that, they have been nnjuetly treated by Mr. Roose velt’s commissioners.

Ran Francisco, Rept. 25. -v- A very ambitious scheme has been put forward here this week in the form of a pro posal that Ran Francisco hold a world’s fair in 1911. The idea had been sug gested early in the year, bat nothing was heard ol it following the fire until this week, when W . H. Mills, of the Southern Pacific, in a letter to James D. Phelan, revived the plan. It was originally intended that tbe exposition should be commemorative of the dis covery of the Pacific ocean by Balboa in 1513. The date 1911 has been suggest ed for the exposition, as it follows so closely on tbe world’ s fair to be held in Paris in 1910, and would enable Ran Francisco to have the exhibits trans ferred as they were from Rt. Louis to Portland. The suggestion of Mr. M ills has been well received. Mr. Phelan in a cordial reply suggested that Mr. M ills consult with others who are known to be inter ested in such a project. If sentiment warrants, it is understood that prelim inary steps will then be taken to form a corporation to finance the undertak ing. It is the general opinion fia t such an exposition more than anything else would contribute to the future welfare of San Frace sco. It is not intended to operate on aDy such scale as the St. Louis fair, but to use the Portland ex position as a model and build on lines unique and artistic. As a eite for the necessary buildings, the burned area and Golden Gate park have been sug gested. __________________ TALK WITH H E ® Mediators Agree With One su, and Submit Plans to Other.
