The wltneas said:' "I am the party who sold the northwest quarter of section 28, township 21, range 101, In Sweetwater county, Wyoming, to the Superior .or Union Pacific Coal campahy and received therefor f 11,200. This, par ticular piece of land had been previously filed upon' by one Frank Newton of M South Water street, Denver, who was evi dently a fictitious person and who, with fifteen other fictitious parties, had'been In duced to file on lands 1ft Sweetwater county at, as I believe, the Instance of the Union Pacific Coal company- D.

I had no conversation with any of the Union (Paclflc officials before I made the transfer of the land, this being done through my agent, Warwick Saunders. At this time I wss working aa ' a common laborer In the Sioux City A Rock Springs Coal company properties and had n small Interest therein. The proposition that ' I put tjthe parties who wanted to buy th lands was a consideration of 110,000 cast) and an; interest- In. the 431oux. City jiiluea Ths Union Paciflo people wanted ny land on the general principle that' they objected to the land being In auch close Vicinity to their property being in the name of one not connected with their companlea. They also objected to ail klnda of roads runnlrjg through their vacant properties and posted up notices that there was no thoroughfare through these lands. By so dolus; it gave them an absolute monopoly of the landav The aame rule applied In their .town prop erties.

No development work was done on Its property until I went onto the ground. I worked under Jim Foots as 'a common laborer with a pick, and shovel at $2.60 per day and board. I b. came foreman of the Sioux City eV Rock Springs company In the fall of 1W3. . Some times we worked two or three, men .'and sometimes rix or seven. The lend waa twenty-four miles from the land I owned In. Sweetwater county, . I made my own investigation and first development wnrk on my land and waa aatlaned' that coal was there. I paid the $3 declaratory feea and the $2,300 for the quarter when I proved up, I borrowed the S3.20O from W. H. Kanift. who waa secretary of the Sioux City com pany. Saunders acted aa' the Intermediary between me and the Union Paciflo Coal company. The terma I made were $10,000 aa a cash bonus snd a fourth Interest In the Interest that the directors of the Slou.x City Rock Bprlnga Coal company had In that property. The only names of the directory that I can remember were V. H. Kanlff, Warwick Saunders and W. D. Moaner. I made the transfer of the land to 'the Union - Pacific Coal company and got my $13.

STRENUOUS APPEALS FROM BOTH SIDES Moderates Insist tkat I alte ' itales heald fappert Ooveraiaeat . - Aatetleasi Caret! Rat 4 Camsalt Tkesaeelvee. HAVANA. Sept. m.-A second day of conferencee with the leaders , of the fac tions I the' Cuban conflict has not enabled Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary ef State Bacon to announce any plan for com promising the difficulty. So strenuous ar th appeals of both the liberal and moder ate party leaders that' the situation be. comes ( Increasingly complicated as the negotiations proceed. Secrelsry Taft said tonight that he believed that when they are brotlght face to face with the dinger of losinr Independence1 forever all patriotic Cubans will fe willing to make concessions. Mr. Taft added that the peace emissaries are occupying a most delicate position ind have undertaken - to hoar all complaints and that until they have made themselves thoroughly conversant with 'the political turmoil of Cuba they rannet express them selves freely In the eon Terences, fearing that possible misunderstandings may have a deterrent effect. All Advised "to keep Qalet. ' The only counsel to the political leaders glvenby Mr, Taft waa on. the subject of not engaging' In further agitation that might make intervention by the United Bute necesaary. This advice he offers freely to all to whom he gives audience, regardless of party. Mr. Taft has made It clear that the United States la not seeking to exercise control over tha Island or any of Its affairs, but he has quoted President Roosevelt's letter to Minister Queeada to the effect that the United States has a duty which it cannot shirk. To those whom he met in conference Mr. Taft said that now Is the time to decide whether they would have Cuba live a a nation. . He has weighed every word 'carefully and has neither upheld nor criticised the principles of either fiction. - Whether the men they .have met In Havana represent' the sentiment of the entire Island la a question that Is troubling the American mediators.' There Is some fear that even ' If the entanglement Is straightened out here the opposing forces In Santa Clara Snq Plnir del Rio provinces and even In Sahtlaejd will not be satisfied. Attempt to Arouse Natloaal Spirit. Mr. Taft realises that unless the national spirit la Afous.edvtbe commercial Interests will have no confidence In any settlement that may .be reached. , On this point the mediators are confronted with vtholr chief difficulty, for no wajr has been devised to obtain th sentiments of those In the field' without treating with armed forces, which might be regarded as a recognition of the insurgents. Senator. Alfredo Zaya la gen erally regarded aa. the official representa tive of the revolution, but he cannot claim that distinction in negotiating wltn Secre tary Taft. as that would make him a revolutionist and terminate free Intercourse with President Roosevelt's representatives. One sentence from Senator Zayaa' ad drees as president , of, the liberal party Is attracting milch, attention, aa showing the relations between, that, party and the In surrection. H said: "Th liberal party Is not revolutionary, but the jprogram rof (revolution muat be come, the programsot the liberal party." Senator Zaya has , been received by Messrs.' Taft andBacon at the home of Minister Morgan 'In', Mariano more fre, quently than anV bther of the Cuban lead era. At today's visit ' he waa . expected to file a "brief Setting forth the grievances of the liberals, but he. pleaded for more time and was granted until tomorrow, v ' ' ' Capote Flies Statement, Vice President Capote, the spokesman for the moderates,, or government party, today filed a, brief declaring the moderate position and advancing certain propo sitlona for settling th controversy. By Mr. Taft's. order this trlef was sealed and will not be taken up for tonslderatlon until It can be dona. In connection with th argument of the opposing side. - Mayor Cardenas and a number of the principal officials of Havana paid a long visit today to Messrs. ,Taft and Bacon and argued that it was the duty of ths United States to ' support the recognised government. The mayor undertook to as slst Secretary Taft., to get In touch with the commercial Interests, and under Mr. Taft's Instructions will direct the several business guilds to name a representative to talk with the mediators confidentially. The commercial affairs of Cuba have suf fered during the present brief conflict more severely,, many- people say.' .than through out, the fen years' war.

Financial circles are aghast and business men are awaiting with great Snxlcty an opportunity to' meet Meaars. Taft and Bacon, who are looked to to save Cuba's credit. Cuban, Spanish, American and other business men are talking of uniting in a petition to Messrs. Taft and Bacon, urging some radical form of Inter vention or annexation. .

' Calls for ' Itaval Protection. The navy department has received earnest requests from persons having plantation in Cuba, asking that forces be sent tor th protection of different pieces. The depart ment with tha force under command is unable to comply with this request.
