ANXIETY OVER CUBAN MuooLE

GRIN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The Unit
ed states government is deeply wor-
ried over the Cuban situation. This
fact became known last night. The
state Department officials, although
making eevry effort to conceal the
fact, from the private advices that
have been received that the revolution
Is well and powerfully organized, and
that the insurgents are we'll supplied
with funds.
Uncle Sam does not wish to inter
fere in the slightest degree in the af-
fairs of the young republic. This is
not because he is Indifferent over the
outcome. but because it is realized
that even assistance in suppre5stng
the revolution may be miscunstrued
by other governments. He Believes
that such an undesirable happening
would put in the fire all the fat that
has been rendered from the notable
visit of Secretary Root to the South
American republics.

United states was to annex Cuba.
