The announcement from Washington that

as applying especially to Clenfuegos, where

He said that by tomorrow' he hoped' some

Palma Lost Slb Of.
The peace endeavors have really reeolved
themselves more Into negotiations between
the moderates and liberals than between
the government and the Insurgents. The
moderates, while entirely loyal to Presi
dent Palma seem now to be less concerned
over .his continuance In office thnn 'with
the perpetuation of the control by their
party. Mendes Capote, aa president of the
moderate organization, and Aflredo Zayaa,
as president of the liberal party, will
largely be eble to dominate, the situation.
General Menoca is Industriously confer
ring with both these political leadera. The
veterans have resumed their peace meet
ings and the negotiations with the tnsurg.
ents will be chiefly through them..
The executive committee of the moderate
party at a meeting this afternoon voted
to continue Ite efforts for peace. Terms
were informally discussed. ,
Secretary Taft Will Be Arbiter,
It Is generally1 agreed that Secretary of
War Taft must be tbe , eventual arbiter,
and both In Cuban and foreign business
circles the hope Is freely expressed that
not only- will the United States settle the
present strife, but that the American gov
ernment will retain sufficient ' 'hold ' on
Cuban affaire p prevent a repetition of tha
last month's experiences, 'A Cuban gunboat
went to .Martel tonight to bring to Havana
a quantity of arms and ammunition stored
In tbe quarantine etatton lest it fall Into
the hands of tha Insurgents.
'Points of special and polttloa.1 consid
eration in 'the 'peace negotiations are. the
fixing of a neu'traj sone agd camping places
for the Insurgent' forces and the supplying
them with food, which, it seems' to be ex
pected" will have tq be done by tbe gov
ernment. TAFT POSTPONES WESTERS TRIP
