refused to attend the st silon of congress
called to a.t upon the resignation ol
member of tbe government and declar
ed deHnltelv that they would have
nothing more to do witb lb govern
ment of Cuba.

CAUSE SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Railroad Refus Car and Boost th
Price to Consumer.
Salt Lake, Sept. 26. That the rail
roads are to blame for the high price
and periodical shortage of coal In Salt
Lake was the conclusion to be drawn
from the testimony presented before
Charles A. Prouty, ol th Interstate
Commerce commission today. Tbe In
quiry was adjourned until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock when it will be
returned in Denver. Mark Hopkins,
who opened two coal jnines at Cumber
land, Wvo., was sworn as an expert
today. He said that coal could be
placed in cars at Wyoming and Utah
mine for $1 a ton and allow reason
able profit. Tbe present price on board
cars is $2 a ton. Salt Lk dealers pay
$3.75 for the coal laid down and the
consumer pays $6.25 ton.
P. J. Qnealy, manager of the Kern
merer, Wyoming, coal company, and
Tbomai Sneddon, superintendent of
the Diamondville mines, admitted that
their output could be Increased to pre
vent the annual winter shortages, but
said tbat tbe railroads did not furnish
cars to carry larger product.
An attempt was made to show that
the Union Pacific railway carries sup
plies tor Its mine at a lower rate than
tbat quoted to independent operators,

rect testimony.

SCARES MODERATES
Tbey Fear Uncle Sam May Give
Jobs to Liberals.
FORCES CUBANS TO NEGOTIATE
Rsbels and Government Will Treat
With Each Other Marin
Needed Anyway,
Havana, Sept. 17. Th government
party last night abandoned It baste
contention tbat It I impossible to treat
lor peace with armed rebels, and pro
posed to negotlat directly with a com
mittee ol It opponent. It agreed to
leav all point upon which nnder
standing Is not reached to th final ar
bitration ol Secretaries Taft and Bacon.
Th government first suggested tbat It
would treat with th Liberal II they
would lay down tbelr arm, bnt tbe
a met lean romnilsslonar ruled tbal
till stipulation wa unfair and tb
Moderate ispresenlative bold this
view.
It is beyond question that both par
tie were brought to a more tractabi)
frame ol mind by the verbal ultima
tum Issued by Messrs. Taft and Hacou
yesterday In the name ol President
Roosevelt, that, unless tbey cousent to
lair arbitration, the United State
must compel the lams by temporary
military occupation. Such occupation,
it was declare!, would not mean Amer
ican ovsreignty. It would continue
only until nsw election had beta held,
tb government firmly established and
order restored.
Whatever th outcome ol th netntl
atlons between .h Liberal and Mod
erate may be, It Is felt her that there
will be need lot all the American ma
rines within reai h, as there Is little
confidence In the ability of the rebel
leaders to control tbelr men when or
dered to give np their arms and return
to their homes.
It is tactltly understood by the com
mittees of the two parties that, ante
an agreement Is reached this week,
armed American Intervention will en
sue. The Moderates declare that the
appointment ol a committee to negoti
ate with tbe Liberals does not mean
the conceding ol new elections. The
general disposition to get together i
stronger.

er emphasised by the absence of Sena
