THE PRESIDENT WATCHING CUBA.

RUMoR5 THAT AN INVESTIGATING COMMISSION
WILL BE SENT TO THE ISLAND DIsCREDITED.
Washington, March 13.-The President is known
to be giving much attention to the situation in
Cuba. but so far as can be learned. nothing definite
has yet been the outcome Of his consideration.
Rumors that an investigating commission or an
Army officer have been will be sent to Cuba do
not find corroboraton among we-nformed officials.
Several Army officers have applied for leave OF abb
sence. with permission to go TO Cuba. but In each
OF these cases the permission asked for was refused
While 1t is not believed at the War Department that
any OF the officers who made such application De,
sired 10 take part in the hostilites. II was deemed
pest TO keep them away from Havana There were
several reasons for this. II was thought that the
spanish Government might be suspicious OF the pres
ence OF United States Army officers in the perturDed
section and II was feared that the feellng against
ths country might lead to incidents which wouId De
69ecidedy embarrassing to the Governments az
Washington and Madrid. 1t Is obviously Impossible
mat any American Army officer could have visited
Cuba under present conditions without his presence
being promptly reported.
IL also learned that permission to go to Bermuda
ana other British fortified ports near the United
states coast has been refused to United States Army
offcers since Mr.. Cleveland's Venezuelan message
was sent to Congress. The reason for this Is oDv'-
Gus. American officers might be held In dstrust as
persons seeking information about the British forti-
ncations. and the War Department did not propose
10 take any chances
