ARRIVAL OF THE DTTS MOINF:!*
. The American cruiser Dcs Molne.< arrived here
this morning. All on board are well.
President Roosevelt s declaration that It is Ira
eerettro that hostilities cease and arrangements
he made to brtac about the permanent pacifica
tion of Cuba to re-echoed enthusUstUally on all
tides. Everybody Is gratified at this dear dec
laration and the fact that Secretary Taft and
Acting Secretary Bacon are to be sent to render
aid to these ende. A few of the leaders of the
Moderates arc of the opinion that Secretary Taft
will nettle the matter within one week on some
haass of the division of offices, but how to get
the rebels to agree to anything which shall in
clude the retention of President Paima's admln
!-'.ration Is a serious problem.
All conjecture up to the present time leans
toward eoroe form of permanent American con
trol or guarantee of peace and order as the
only true solution of the difficulty.
A correspondent of the Associated Press who
ha* just returned from the front in Pinar del
Wo. where he vltlted both the Insurgent and
covernment troops, reports that almost all that
region sympathise* with the rebels, but not to
the extent of handing the rein? of government to
them. The consensus through the province is
for American Intervention and it is believed that
the country will nerer have settled conditions
In sxy other war The same sentiment prevails
among the rank and file of the government
Troops.
Officials of the go vert-, merit express pleasure at
the coming- of Secretaries Taft and Bacon, but
on the. point of how the United States can secure
permanent pacification they are non-committal.
Seflor Casuso. Secretary of Agriculture. Com.

ee ye that the revolutionists hare suspected all

says the Insurgents are ready for just and fair
treatment, and "If the powerful nation which
gave us our freedom will act as arbitrator we
will give It our best aslstance that we may be
able to acquire and keep the sort of liberty that
flourishes in a land of truth and right. All we
ask for is justice, order and legality."
Three American warships are In Havana Bay

Washington. Bept. 15.— A cable dispatch was re
ceived by the Navy Department from '~i»nfuegt>s
to-day announcing the arrival of the Marietta at
that place yesterday. A later dispatch from
Commander Fulham of the Marietta, said that a
force had been landed from that ship to protect
&ugar plantation*, which were threatened. A te!e-
STAin was received at the State Department from
Mr. Atkins. on« of th» own*!-- of the Constancla
estate, near Cienfueros. Ir. which be says li« re
ceived a cable dispatch from Cieafu*gos to-day an
nouncing that Insurgents raided 9©Uda<l yester
day, taking horses, and that the Marietta's forces
had arrived In Cienfuegos last night. He says his
Information does not confirm press dispatches as
to the ruction Of sugar plantations.
Fr*«m c!sj>atch*s rocelved to-day from Mr. Sleep
er, chars* of UM American Legation at Havana,
it appears tl.at the damage, to American property
i.ear CMJOOsepas had been exaggerated. Mr. Sleeper
says he received a contradiction of the report that
the Huatev estate had b»en destroyed, and thus
far, he say*, h» has not been able to oonrtrm the
import that the Cor.atanrla estate buildings have
been burned. Other advices received at the State
Department are to the effect that the buildings
on th« H«rml«u'- estate were not burned by the
Insurgents, and it Is said the report probably aro.'a
from the fact that the railway shipping station
near that estate had been dfMroyed.
A dispatch was received to-day from Row E.

that, to far as h« bSS Vx>en aW« to l*irn. there

Davis, Judge advocate general. None of these
officers would admit that he had discussed the
question of moving: troops or preparations for
hostilities, but It was pointed out that the gath
ering offered an excellent opportunity for an
exchange of ideas between those who would
shape th? policy of tho department in the event
of intervention, should that extreme move be
determined upon. Rear Admiral Converse, the
Acting Secretary of the Navy, did not meet
Secretary Taft to-night, although early In tha
everlng it was announced that he probably
would be at the department. Neither was any
member of the military intelligence bureau
called Into conference by Secretary Taft.
The Secretary said to-night that while he could
make no intelligent prediction regarding his nitti
sion to Cuba, he hoped to finish it and to return
to Washington within ten days.
At the Navy Department it is learned that the
Tacoma, will clear from Norfolk for Cuban waters
to-morrow, and that the Dixie is expected to
reach Havana to-morrow afternoon.
ARMY FULLY PREPARED.
At the War Department It la said that some
time ago the General Staff formulated plans for
the occupation of Cuba, although It Is not ad
mitted that these projects bore- any relation to
an expected revolution in the island. The War De
partment possesses accurate and detailed maps
and other information regarding Cuba and there
Is nothing lacking to make tha military occupa-*
tlon of the Island a comparatively easy task.
It would be a case, of course, of trained soldiers
against somewhat unorganised rebels, who might
be expected to have no great system and no
especial resources.
Th« Subsistence Department and the Quarter
master's Department are prepared with pro
visions, shelter and clothing to meet any emer
gency, and there would be no delay in getting
into the island at mm*, at least 10.000 troops.
fully equipped for a long campaign. Most army
offlcfrs are Inclined to think that if the- employ
ment of the navy does not suffice, and the Cuban
revolution Increases, it will be only necessary
to have a force of 1.000. or. at most, 2.000 regu
lars la the island. It is believed that probably
tv regiments of Infantry and possibly four
or fly* troops of cavalry would serve the pur
pose of quelling the disturbance. In that casa
the troops would probably remain In Cuba for
some months, so that the Influence of their pres
ence might be felt In permanent pacification.
The medical officers of the army are consider
ing the steps which should be taken in preserv
ing the health of troops ordered to Cuba, and
havfl arranged tot the shipment of medical and
hospital supplies in such a case. According to
army rurgeons. there is much more to be feared
from disease in Cuba than from any engage
ment between the American troops and the
arrmd disturbing element, and it is considered
of great Importance to surround the soldiers
who go to Cuba with all possible protection
againbt individual disability and epidemics
which may be caused by the climate.
Th«* exact locution of the troops which would
be sent to Cuba would depend entirely on local
conditions. Of these, the War Department Is
keeping advired, to the end that It may know m
Just v.hat places to put soldiers. The govern
ment at Havana would be counted upon to aid
in all possible ways by the employment of its
own troops and in giving Information of local!
ti- which require surveillance. It Is known
that there art* strongholds of the rebel*, and It
Is planned that there would he at such places
American troops in such force as would be
necessary.
Nothing la vouchsafed from the War Depart
ment as to the particular troops which would be
cent to Cuba, but they would probably be drawn
from the force which at xx 1 1— breaking un of
the camp of instruction at Mount Gretna will be
found at the regular garrisons near New York.
These- posts would probably provide strength
necessary for at least the first operations.
The quartermaster, commissary, and medical
depots in New York would, of course-, furnish
the supplies necessary, and by this arrangement
there would be the least amount of transporta
tion from garrisons or storhouscs to the
steamer*.
ARMY MEN DISAPPOIXTED
Fear in Regard to Cuba's Forcer of
Self -Government.
(Frcm Th» Tribune Bureau. }
Washington, Sept. IS. -Army offlctrs in Wash
ington who were in Cuba during the American
occupation and when the island government was
established are following developments there
■with th« keenest Int. rest. Aside from the sig
nificance of the movement of armed forces to
Cuba, these officers, Who, under a military gov
ernorship, assisted in the organization of a
native government and saw the Cuban ship of
state Baft-ly launched, are especially interested
in the developments as Indicating th«» success or
fa'!ir<- of thf» experiment.
To Bay that there is distinct disappointment
over the turbulent conditions prevailing Is put
ting it mildly. There »m a peneral fear that If
tho Cuban government, organized an<l started
under the most fuvorable circumstances, is un
able to maintain itself now the Cubans may
■ever be cajmble of self-government
Though i;on» i of the others care to express
their ■i««. 'hfv frankly Meetsea the situation in
its mo« eerioua aspects. Lieutenant Colonel
JaiiiPs 1! Hlckey, in tha Military Secretary'^
ofllce. who was u.ljutatu general under General
Wood and was in Cuba the gr^.r. .- part of the
time during the formation of the government,
when a-:.. -I his opinion as to the significance of
;1 ' 4 present revolutionary troubles said:
At the time when the American fore*:* were
withdrawn fr...ii Cuba the Island was In pood
order, it was. of course. Impossible to foresee.
What the ruture political conditions would be.
but there seemed every i>io»i«»<-t of good govern
i Mil Certainly the present developnwu could
not be anticipated four years ago lam hardly
at liberty to comment on what is taking place
now. Political excitement over the elections
s«-«^m* to bo the cause.
Other officers who served for a long time in
Cuba are not apparently surprised thai political
excitement has disturbed the stability of the
island. These officers take the view thai the
Cabana vie temperamentally akin to their South
American neighbors, and that it la a most diffi
cult taak for them to eliminate Intense feeling
from political contests. An ofaose< of th« War
I>ei>urt tut-nt Mid to-day:
Cuba was left to work out her own fate when
General Wood withdrew his force* on May 20.
1901!, and a constitutional native government
waa Inaugurated. When General Wood gave
uji his stewardship the Island was on a sound
basis. th« people freed from foreign Interference
and their cities cleansed and rehabilitated.
Even tliti raoßt pessimistic could not anticipate
t*iat the i.;tti\« government would . ot be see
cessful in every respect
Thft experiment lias worked well for over four
years, during which time we linvo given evt-
O>nce of our friendly Interest lor th<- Wand by
the «*ulia.ii reciprocity treaty There have been
disturbances now and then, but only of n ino*«t
trifling character, and of a kind with which the
natlra police could ci>j>o. The Cubans them-
Selves seemed to have a full realization of the
benefits to be derived under a stable form of
government, encouraging the Inflow of Ameri
ran and foreign capital In great quantities, If
these conditions are to be changed and If riot
Mini revolution urn to force American Interven
tion for the .protection of American lives and
property there can be no one to blame but the
Cubans themselves.

Joss M. Del Vai:,* Tanaga. who lias large inter

It looks as thougl: the- war la over. Probably
Mr. Taft and Mr. Bacon will convince President

Captain Aidaiua. received from Havana a cab!«

Ripley Hitchcock, who recently made an extended

the inner conditions have not been clearly under

more, the serious appeal in hU letter wilt have an
