Persistent rumors are still afloat that
President Palma wishes to resign his
office, and is only restrained by the
pleadings of Government heads in the
Cabinet and Congress.
It is asserted that President Palma
wept when he saw American marines
from the Denver land in Havana on
Friday, for Th that demonstration he
read the handwriting, 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 that 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
