New YORK, April THE Cuban
junta. through its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens. has made an important state.
ment. 1t declared III the most un.
equivocal language that the Cuban pro.
visional government and the Cuban
army would reject absolutely interven.
ton by the United States unless it
should be preceded by recognition Of
the independence Of the Cuban repub.
lie; thatH the United States persist.
ed in intervening without recogniZ-
ing Cuban independence, the Gu.
ban government and military forces
would refuse to cooperate. and that If
United States troops should be sent to
Cuba upon the basis Of Intervention,
without recognition. the Cuban army
would in the last resort, turn its arms
against the United States.
The statement made by Mr.. Rubens
was preceded by the following:
"The declaration l am about to
make is official. for am the legal rep.
resentative Of the junta, and / know
their unalterable convictions and posi-.
tions. 1t is in line with the utterances
Of the delegate Of the Cuban pro-
visional government to the United
States, Tomas Estrada Palma. when
the suggestion was made that this gov.
ernment should counsel the Cubans

reason FOR the delay in sending the

not consider it wise or humane to send
