Palma Hopes to Restore Peace
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskanl
Havana, Sep. 17? President Palma is
hoping to restore peace before the ar
rival of Secretaries Taft and Bacon and
General Funston, and, except for defen
sive measures he has suspended hostili
ties. All of the jailed llberalists have
been releasid under an exacted promise
to aid in the peace negotiations. Peace
emmissaries have been dispatched in
automobiles to the seats of all of the
insurgent camps in order to urge an
immediate settlement and thus prevent
the intervention of the United Stat?s,
which is conceired by the Cuban gov
ernment might distroy tbe republic and
possibly lead to the annexation of the
island to the United States. The out
come of the peace nctrotutions is un
certain. The rebels, under the com
mand of Congressman Matquettl have
surrounded Gmt .ij and ar? holding

NOT SO FAST
Bryan Explains Government
Ownership Question
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.) !
New York, Sep. 17? There is clearly
a better felling at democratic congress
ional headquarters since William J. I
Bryan began his southern tour. His
great speech at Louisville, where he
explained his position on the question
of government ownership of railroads,
has stopped in a large measure the criti- J
cism that was aroused by his first public
declaration in favor of the government j
ownership. Mr. Bryan says it is not j
his purpose to force the issue of the i
government ownership of railroads on |
the people or to force his party to lake
it up. He says he believes that to be
the only way the question of railroad
interferference in politics can ever be
settled, but be says he sp&aks for him
self. The party, he says, will speak
when it makes its platform at'the next
national convention. The question is
wholly in the hands of the people, he
says.
Henry Watterson, who is fighting j
Bryan's government ownership views
and proclaims that he will fight them
until the end, is supporting Bryan for
the democratic presidential nomination
and says he is the leader of his pirtv, i
standing first among its statesmen and
first in* he hearts of its members. In
introducing him to the great and tre- ,
menduously enthuisastic audience at !
Louisville Thursday night Col. Watter
son affectionately referred to the demo
cratic idol and said "here he is, God
bless him and give him wisdom. ''
The receptions given Bryan through
out the south are wonderful in attend
ance and enthusiasm.
