word of emphatic warning as to the certainty that intervention will come in the end unless the people of Cuba, for the sake of their country, find some way to settle their difficulties irrespec- tive of personalities, cease their con- tentf5ns and live in peace. This you may convey confidentially to President Palma but not for. publication. You will urge President Palma to use in the most effective manner all the re- sources at hls command to quell the revolt. Bacon"
 Havana, Sept P, 19O6 Secretary of State, Washington:
 Secretary of state the Republic of Cuba at $40 to-day delivered to me memorandum in his own handwriting translation of which follows and is transmitted notwithstanding previous secret instructions on the subject
 The rebellion has increased in the provinces of Santa Clara, Havana and Pinar del Rio and the Cuban govern ment has no elements to contend 1t, to defend the towns and prevent the reb- els from destroying property President Estrada Palma asks for American in tervention and begs that President 1 Roosevelt send to Havana with the greatest secrecy and rapidity two of l three thousand men to avoid any catastrophe In the capital. The inter vention asked for should not be made public until the administration troops are in Havana. The situation is grave and any delay may produce a mas 1 sacre of citizens in Havana.

 Secretary of State. Washington,
 Your cable 11th received and in structiohs compiled with. My opinion is that a message reading as follows should at once be cabled to our charge daffaires here to be communicated to President Palma and if possible given at tho same time to the press;
 The president of the United States l N'AA'~S'9 aAAN " GOlltIlluHlNdtE. LO Jbu liluL he regrets present state of affairs in Cuba and directs me further to say that you must use in the most effect we manner all the resources at your command to quell the present revolt Or else in the end intervention on the part Of the United States of America will become a necessity, which for the sake | n l., otr T have used as far as possible your own phraseology, and I believe if so sent will have favorable result in the Cuban congress next Friday. All ref erence to make compromise or like ideas must be omitted. l. is most im- portant that the dignity of the gov- ernment must be upheld to guarantee it's future stability.

 President Palma has resolved not to ] continue at the head of the government, and is ready to present his resignation, even though the present disturbances should cease at once, The vice pres ident has resolved not to accept the office. Cabinet ministers have declared that they will previously resign. Un- der these conditions it is impossible that congress will meet for the lack of proper person to conyoke same to des- ignate new president The consequence will be absence of lega power, and therefore prevailing anarchy will con- tinue unless the government of the United States win adopt the measures necessary to avoid this danger
