[Telegram—Paraphrase.]

Habana, September 12, 1906.

(Mr. Steinhart acknowledges receipt of cable instructions and states that message in question, together with presence of war vessels, will have greatest influence with Cuban Congress and insurgents in the field. It is reported that President Palma consents to appoint a congressional commission composed of men of both parties, who will modify the electoral and municipal laws as demanded by the insurgents.)
