Will Thut Forca Intervention by the United Statat. Havana, Sept. 18. Tba Cuban re public ttanit on tha verge of a second period of American Intervention. Tha Moderate oartv. which six weeks, ago waa in control of every office in tha it land, national, provincial and munici pal, ia determined o abdicate every thing and compel tha United States to intervene. Id fact, every government official from President Palma down ia sincerely anxious to forca euch inter vention rather than yield to any one of tha terms offered by tba Liberal party and those in arms against tbe govern ment. Tba Liberal leaders characterize tha conduct of tha government as treason to tha republic, while Secretary of War Tift regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to force tba band of tbe United Statea into Intervention. This, it baa been atated, ia precisely what President Roosevelt baa been most anxious to avoid. Senor Palma bas called special ses sion of congress for Friday, when be will present tba resignation of himself and Vice President Mendea Capote. Tba Moderatea, however, will not at tend that see ion of congrees, for in their hurriedly called National Mod erate assembly yesterday afternoon they decided unanimously limply to quit forthwith. They will not even at tend the approaching sees ion or have anything more to do with tbe govern ment of Cuba, alleging that they bave been unjustly treated by Mr. Roose velt's commissioners.

A decision has been reached by tbe department of Justice that the meat inspection law recently enacted by congress does not apply to foreign products shipped into this country. This opinion was pre pared several days ago and submitted to Attorney General Moody. He con curred, it is understood, in the opinion prepared by the department. The acting secretary of commerce and labor today promulgated certain rules regarding the exportation of meata and meat products, prescribing the manner of inspecting carcasses and the issuance of certificates, labels, etc. Tbe rules require that both the orig inal and duplicate certificate shall be delivered to the exporter, who shall file the original with tbe customs offi cer and the duplicate with the con signee, to be used by tbe latter in iden tifying tbe shipment at the point of destination by comparison with tha original. Clearance is to be denied to any ves sel carrying meat product! for exporta tion where regulations have not been strictly complied with. The rules will go Into effect on October 1. CAUSE SHORTAGE OF COAL. visit to tbe pUce of the American commissioners waa therefore not par ticularly pleasant. On departing, Mr. Taft announced that tbe conference bad resulted only in exchange of opinions and that another meeting was neces sary. Tbe big doors of tbe palace clot ed at nsual at 11 o'clock, but the presi dent and members of tbe cabinet re mained in conference long after that hour. At the conclusion of a long conference between a committee of the insurgents of eight members and the American peace commissioners, the insurgent committee announced that there was practically no difference remaining be tween it and Messrs. Taft and Bacon, and that they would receive a draft of the peace terms today. These probab ly would be agreed to at a meeting to be held in tiie Presidio, where the pris oner members of 'the committee are confined. Mr. Taft said be could give no de tails of Vhat transpired at the confer ence, for the reason that it was neces sary to treat with the government, lead' era and that the publication of the peace proposals might interfere -with their prompt acceptance. The absence of a definite statement from the commissioners makea it im possible to say whether tbe plans cairy the resignations of the present admin istration and the congressmen elected last year or not. There is a strong im pression that Mr. Palma will remain and re-organise the cabinet, but that new elections will be held for half tbe senators and representatives, in other words those who were elected last year, and possibly also for provincial officers.

Quealy, manager of the Kem- merer, Wyoming, coal company, and Thomas Sneddon, superintendent of the Diamondville mines, admitted that their output could be increased to pre vent the annual winter shortages, but said that the railroads did not furnish cars to carry a larger product. An attempt was made to show that the Union Pacific railway carries sup plies for its mines at a lower rate than that quoted to independent operators, but this was not substantiated by di rect testimooy.

Favor. St. Petersburg. Sept. 24 Activa work in the autumn electoral campaign was inaugurated by the Octoberist, who today opened the Ksun congress with delegates from 12 of the Volga provinces and tbe vast ceniral districts of Rusnia in attendance. Alexander Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader, was present, laboring tooth and nail. Owing to failure of the Octoberists to obtain official sanction, tbe congress was held behind closed doors and mem bers of the press were excluded. In pursuance of the decision of tbe government to permit the national con gress of the Constitutional Democratic party anywhere except in St. Peters burg, the administration has permitted the reopening of Constitutional Demo en til clubs in Moscow and elsewhere, but pirsists in its determination to supirdss political agitation in the capi tal. The most remarkable development of the week haa been the change in sen timent concerning tbe late General Trepoff. The universal choru. of mal ediction and condemnation has given place since his death to a non-partisan appreciation of his real merits and de fects, and his career has been the sub ject of fair and even laudatory criti cisms in nearly all circles. M. Mem- chinskl, a prominent writer and pub lisher, who was recently suppressed, bnt who is now a contributor to Here lorn, gives the following verdict on the basia of lifelong acquaintance with tbe dead man: "General Trepoff was an excellent man and a good official, thoush he sometimes violated bit own convictions because of a false notion ol soldierly obedience. He would have made a splendid soldier, but lacked a thorough cuucauon ano, above all, the prepara tion necessary lor the political activity thrust upon bim. He possessed, how ever, one great asset, lacking in all con temporary Russian statesmen character." HoDgkong, Sept 20.
