M.-Th anxiety of t dent PsJma to extend every possible epp '' l tunlty for peace without bloodshed and hk. desire to permit those Who Joined . the In urrectlon under misguidance to repent and return to their homes unmolested, com bined with the general wish to end a situ ation fraught with so much lose and suf fering, has led to consideration by the . presldenuand his cabinet of a project de claring a thirty-day amnesty period, during . which the Insurrectionists are Invited to lay down their arma and return to their peacs- ' ful pursuits. It was proposed to Issue the . decree tomorrow, but persons close to the . president strongly opposed the measure, and the matter was deferred and may be relin quished. . Bo for aa actual conflict went Sunday , proved to be a day of Inactivity, but prep arations proceeded without abatement. A . fund of 14000,000 hss been set aside by the treasury for defense, and drafts on It are ' heavy and constant. The situation . If so inqreaslngly serious j that It la tacitly admitted In all govern ment circles that the -enlargement of the army will, not stop at any given number, hut. will continue Indefinitely. While the number of men at present leav ing their regular occupations to enlist for war Is small, employers are beginning to And that tbey will soon be confronted with a - considerable . scarcity o. labor. Many laborer are gathering In front of the bul letin . boards on which are displayed the all for volunteers laaued by President Palma Saturday night They discuss the attractiveness of a soldier' life at such . unusual pay, and, at a result many resolve .to enlist. New Bands of laamrgents. . It was learned today that several new Insurgent bands had taken' to the brush. The growth of the Insurrection certainly ' i aaem to keep pace with the preparations , for' subduing It.' Next to the progress of j the combatants, the most Interesting quee ; tlon today team ta be how to -end the ' war without fighting. Around the discus tlon of th question nenters a great deal rrt' VV,-Calp!!nt,0B icrh-itnetW-t trot both ' .liberal -and -idrtea.' each side trrtri-' ,n accusation against th other aa to Eh rpontmlity for precipitating the re- bellloa, - v - On on phase of the oontrovery the lib erals seem o united M to suggest an un derstanding - among them . for taking - d- , vantage of the' present situation to press upon the government a proposition that It ought, In some manner to treat with them or at least admit them to a conference of , gome sort. While no liberals are In arms against the government they admit coun tenancing the Insurrection, though they al ways deny knowledge of any conspiracy. Interviews, -. statements and hints 'given out by the liberals all Votnt to'the prob ability that the matter might be settled on the basis of the admission of leaders to their party to the councils of the govern ment and some guarantee that In the fu ture flections will be conducted with ab solute fairness. The Insurrectionists in the Held, who, of oowry. are far more radical In their deman "".who are Important factors in this u.-i Aston, do not think of ageeptlng less .than the complete annull tnent of the last elections. 1 '' Insist on Imatitr, All the liberals', would Insist, under any circumstances upon a general amnesty for all rebels. The government at this stage, does not think of . considering any of these uggested ' proposals, the - fact is that the palace officials were today in a most hope ful mood. No advances from the liberals have yet been made that are at all likely to be considered before the government suffers some serious reverse and probably set even then. All discussion of this rort , leads Inevit ably to the subject of American interven tion. If the conflict should last for a long time. Intervention is a consideration to loom p as a toleiwbly certain eventuality, ; If the government subdues the tnsurreo 1 tlon, and chastises, wounds, or kills mem bers of the liberal party, the feeling of rancor la expected to continue for years. Jf the. insurrectionists' prevail, it is , pre- dioted that uncertain conditions are bound. to continue. Santa Clara Is becoming a thorough In surrectionist province). Borne visages have Become wholly insurrectionist and even larger towns. In some rases, have taken up arma against the government. . The alti tude of the people Is entirely a question of the attitude of the leader. A former mayor , of Trinidad has suddenly placed himself at the head of a band f 100 in aurganU., Tits mayor of.

Senator For- aker today, in an Interview, discussed the political situation in Ohio, devoting con siderable attention to' the probable action of the approaching republican convention In that state. with respect to those of the congressional delegation who had differed from th president on some matter of legis lation. . He, tald:, - "I am sorry to learn- that the republicans of Ohio ar having some sharp contro versies, but th subjects "of difference do not seem to me very Important. I can not think,,, therefor, -that there is likely to be any serious injury done to the party, whatever may happen to lndlvlduala. "So . far aa' endorsing ma It concerned, that la not Important to anybody except myself, and ' I thall try to accept with equanimity whatever may be . th action of tb convention. -It Is true I opposed the president' policy aa embodied In the Hepburn bill, but not, at it la commonly stated In the newspapers, because I was opposed to governmental regulation and supervision of railroads, for the . record will show 'that . I have done, as much In that behalf as any other Ohio man In con gress, but because 1 thought the Hepburn bill unwise, unjust and unconstitutional.. - ."My contention was' that, under existing law, which helped enact, having been a member of th sub-committee that, framed It, especially If amended as It should be, very serious wrpng ,f every kind prac ticed by the railroads can be remedied and that all evil practice can ba broken up, a nearly aa law will enable U to break them up.1. "Everything I said m that respect has been already fully . Justified and vindicated by th many ' successes the attorney gen eral ha met with In the numerous pros ecutions he has Instituted In the last nine months, until which time long after the debate commenced, no one seemed to real ise, not even the. government's own of ficials the excellence of the laws we al ready had. . . Old Lawa Applicable. ' " "Exlatlng laws have been found, accord ing to ' the Judgment rendered . In these proceedings, to apply to every kind of re bate, or discrimination between Individuals or localities, no matter under what name, form or guise praotlcod that anybody ha yet complained about.'

' Excepting the rate bill, I sup ported the president aa' to ' every other meaaur he urged upon, congress - except only Joint statehood for Arlaona and New Mexico. I opposed that except on con dition - they should ' b allowed . to deter, min by' vote In each territory 'whether' tbey wanted Joint atatehood. ', I think th groat majority of the -people were opposed to the idea of' the president forcing Joint statehood upon thee territories against their protect. ... .. "But, however this may be, aa to myself I shall not . make any request of the oon ventlon nor any complaints as to It action whatever that may be; but I cannot for bear suggesting In this connection that 1f th convention should try to conform to th rule prescribed by Mr. Burton of en dorsing 'less cordially' than th president those who may have differed from the president at to some matter no matter how honestly tt would have tome hard problem to oilv." Cite gaaao Examples. "For Instance, If Senator Dick I to be endorsed 'less cordially' than the president because he did not agree with the president about the PhJMp-me tariff bill, what Is the convention to do aa to General Kelfer and the tlx other distinguished Ohio re publican members of congress who Joined with that sturdy old veteran In oppoalng and voting against th president as to that measure one of them, Mr. Nevln, who rep ' resents the district In which the convention will be held? Are they also to be 'par tially rebuked' by endorsing them 'lees cor dially' than the president and their' col league who voted with the president T - "And how about Mr. Burton himself? Would he not be 'hoist by his own petard?' Does he not now and than klck over the traces' and differ from, the president and from his party? Is he to be endorsed lest cordially' than the president because he ha opposed th president' policy of In--creasing th navy? It not th navy, so to speak, the ' apple of th president's eye the biggest of hit big sticks and are not the people with the president aa . to hit naval policy by an overwhelming majority? "Take another case. The president and Secretary Taft made known to congress at the last session that unless we restricted them to America they would go abroad to purchase supplies and material to be used In the eonstruotlon of the Panama canal when they could buy them cheaper abroad, thus saving money on the purchase, and aa they were to be used In Panama and not brought Into the United States, saving th tariff duty besides. "I think I may aafely aay that with a great majority of th American people this , proposition was not popular.- Certainly, to republican genefaiiy It Rsd inoou tlstent with all we have been contending for with reepeot to a protective tariff.
