THE ATLANTA GEORG! AN. 1ST Palma Won’t Agree to Having Any New Elections. OFFICE HOLDERS BACKING HIM UP Roosevelt’s Big Stick May Be Called Into Play to Force Action. . Havana Sapt. it.—Oppoaltlon from government and moderate sources has caused anther temporary lull In the peace negotiations. Secretary Taft 1 optimistic statement that he hoped to be able to announce a settlement by this evening now seems doomed to have been visionary. The American peace commissioners had little difficulty at their conference with the commtttoe of liberals and In surgents last night In coming to an un derstanding. Wheri the terms then agreed to were put up by the govern' emment for approval there was a balk. President Palma, and especially the satellites who have maintained them selves In fat official positions while he was president, objected to the terms ns being too favorable to Insurgents. They could not see their ivay clear to agree to peace under the circumstances. It Is understood practically all the liberals' contentions were agreed to ex cept that Palma should retire. This meant new elections of congressmen and senators elected a year ago and new elections In the municipality. Granting these new elections was to throw a blight upon the legality of Palma's own selection since he was chosen at the same time. He objected for one thing to the position the com promise would place him In before the world. It Is possible that a flourish or two of the big stick may bring Palma and other recalcitrants Into line and Sec retary Taft's confidence may have been based upon the belief that he can at the proper moment bring sufficient pressure to bear to overcome govern ment objection. It Is not believed the present hitch will endanger the negotiations perma nently. _ BOYCOTT IS URGED TELEGRAPH SERVICE BADLY HUD C P D \ REPUTABLE NEGROES OF THE CITY BESEECH PROTECTION OF LAW\ I Joint Stssion of^ Committees of Whites and Blacks Held at the City Hall Tuesday. * (Copyright 1»0« W.

Macon Street aCr Strikers Will Wage Fight to Bitter End. Specie) to The Georgian. Macon, Oa.. Sept. 25.—Before an au dlence of street car strike sympathisers which packed the big city auditorium last night, several apeakeri denounced the Macon Railway and Light Com pany officials for the stand taken In the present controversy, and called upon the people of Macon to give their sympathy to the atrtkers.

All union sympathisers were urged to boycott the street cars and walk, and that the urging was heeded was evi denced by the fact that the S.000 or more people In the audience Ignored tha street car/t and footed It to their homes, many of them living In the ex treme southern part of the city. The heavy line imposed by Recorder Nottingham In police court yesterdny on a union sympathiser who yelled "scab'' at a non-union man, came In for mention and an effort was made to question this decision.

Sand and water were used to help the grinding process.
