Havana, Special.?President Palma las been granted by an extreme ineas iire of Congress the power to triple the lorce of rural guards, to double the force of artillery, and the right tn appropriate all public funds for the vigorous prosecution of the war. 1 iie critical situation by which the Jjte ??f" the Cuban Republic is threat j'nejj^has not been modified by the events of the past twenty-four hours. Persistent rumors are still afloat that President Palnia wishes to resign his oflice, and is only restrained by the pleadings of Government hotels in the Cabinet and Congress. It is asserted that President Palma wept when he saw American marines Irom the Denver land in Havana on -J^rftlay, for in that demonstration he read the hand writ ing on the wall by which the fate of the republic is sealed. There is no effort to conceal the fact that Palma himself asked the American Government for aid, nor Unit the Government would rath er surrender to the United States than to the insurgents. President Palma's wife, whose fa ther, the late President Guardiola, of Honduras, was murdered by revolu tionists, is said to be urging his re tirement. In the event of his resigna tion Vice-President Capote will as sume the Presidency. Tlijs would nol I relieve the situation in the slightest degree, as Capote is as unpopulai with the Liberals.as is Palma. In the action of Senator Zayas and General Loynas, who is rebel commis sioners boarded the Denver on Fri day and conferred with Comaudci Colwell, suppoi-teYs of the Govern ment see only a determination on the part ot the revolutionists to surren der to no one but American officers:; (hat is, to continue the war until it i? stopped by American v intervention The rebel commissioners asked foi protection through Havana for en voys, who wished to confer with him The commander explained that as a foreigner he could not interfere with authority. Later, when he returned to the palace and told the nature of the rebels' requests, iie was informed that the Government would not au thorize such a visit. It would be hard to imagine a more critical condition than that in which (he Government now finds itslef?:i country which is not military lola)'> unprepared for war. almost a( flit mcrcv of armed bands of revolution^ ists, which are grtyving in number. In his message to Congress Presi dent Pi^ina declared that he hue known of the plot to overthrow tin Government and murder the executive and the meml>er.s of his cabinet lonu before the outbreak of the revolution but that he had deemed it wise t? wait until the plotters had put them selves into the position of open viola tion of the law. lie knew, he declared, that the eon spiralors were all of the fwlitical party which is opjmscd to him. It was nol. he said, until one of tlu plotters came out in open rebellioc that he had ordered Unarrest of sev oral of the head conspirators.

(tOUCH[D ON POLITICAL VIEWS Triumphant Tour of the Tar Heel State by Hon. W. J. Bryan Marred by a Life-Tragedy at Durham in Sad and Sudden Death of Dr. Charles D. Mclvcr. Greensboro. Special. Mi William Jennings Bryan cainc t<i North Car olina Monday morning. N?? lias met with ii warm welcome aill day. The people of Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro heard Uim speak. At Durham ami Greensboro he was giv en great ovations. The Crowds at these points were unique. They were made tip of all soils of men, women and children. The death of Dr. Char les I). Melver came as the Divan celebration was in full bloom and east a gloom over the entire touring party. Mr. Di van was introduced by (io\ - ernor (ilenn, who said anions other things: 4' North Cs?r<?liniansf thi^ is a pleasant duty to me. Who is this man that 1 am to present to vow ? lie is no potentate, lie is not Presi dent of the I'nited (Sates. This great audience has come here this dark, gloomy day to sec and hear a man who, by his fidelity to principles and stand lor the poor and humble agaiiisfe the great and mighty, has endeared himself to millions of peo ple in this country. This man i.s as learned as Cajhoun or Websteu, as eloquent as Clay or Henry. Hut above all he is an humble, sincere Christian gentleman. He is the Great Com moner of the people of the Demo cratic part^^llc has the approval of his own ^M?cicucc. lie is states man, orator siml defender of the peo ple's rights." In his speeches at RaJcigh M3r. Bryan did not introduce any new argument. lie prefaced his remarks by saving that North Carolina had a rclaim on him. It was this^State, lie said, that came to him a< Chicago and gave him support when he needed it, lie declared that he had always been well received here. , He admit ted that North ('aroliuiaus do not need to have Demoeracv preached to them. He tol<| his audience that ho would come to this State whenever I.is services were needed in any cam paign. " on have stood by me," said hOt "arid T will stand by you. Some of the original Bryan men are North Carolinians. Sometimes I think 1 waste my time when i come South. You have so many men here who can preach Democracy as I see it. There are so many Dein??crats here who long just for a chance to vote." Mr. Kryan took up Secret a rp Les lie M. Shaw's ? recent s|?eeches in North Carolina and answered certain portions of them in detail. He de clared that he was grateful to Mi. Shaw for many things that lie had. said in this State. He claimed that Mr. Shaw had palmed off an old speech on North Carolinians. Iowa has already rejected I he doctrine that he advocated here. Secretary Shaw is the high priest of the Republican stand-palters. He says that the Re publicans have done all they should have done. He set's no need of tariff reform. In other States in New Eng land. Iowa and elsewhere the Re publicans want revision. F.ven Mr. McKinley, just before his death saw that something had to be done. Hut Secretary Shaw favors no change." Remedies For Trust Evil. Three remedies for trusts were sug gested: 1. A reduction of the tariff; 2. Legislate against a duplication of directors in corporations and, l\. Do rot let trusts use mails, telegraphs and railroads. The railroad rale law said Mr. Bryan is a Democratic meas-. lire. It was advocated iu Democriti* platforms, by Democratic leaders and carried through the Senate bv the ership of Senator Tillman, of South ('arolina. Mr. Bryan touched on the Philip pines question. He said that the United States bad spent $.")()<),000,000 in the Philippine islands. This sum would have built the Panama canal, irrigated the arid lands of the West, or 'built a railroad from New York to the Pacific coast. In closing Mr. Bryan said that the argument used by the Republicans vindicated the money policy of the Democrats. Mr. Bryan also sjmke briefly at Durham, IlSllsbom, Burlington and Greensboro, his speech at Greens boro being a eulogy on the life and work of Dr. ('has. D. Mclver. Grand Jury Indicts Directors.
