Washington, Sept. 10.-The depart
ment of state has been following the
Cuban uprising very carefully, al
though nothing official has been done
in the way of Intervention. Nothing
will be done unless the situation gets
entirely beyond the cotrol of Presl-
dent Palma, and it is not thought that
this is likely. The treasury depart
ment has been very careful Of watch p
ing all southern ports for iilibustering
expeditions, and special orders have
been sent to Porto Rico to look out
for shipments of arms and ammuni-
tion to Cuba. One of the chief fears
in this country is that the discon-
tented residents of the Isle of Pines
will take advantage of the situation
and make the island a base of opera
tions for the insurgents, which they
could very well do. President Palma
has been assured unoffioially through
the instrumentality of Charge sleeper
that this government will keep hands
off as long as possible, and it is hoped
that this will mean indefinitely.

ment had a very grave responsibility
on their shoulders, for they were
nearer to the people than almost any
other class of government employees.
He wished them to understand thnt
they would be treated strictly on their
personal merit, and that promotions
and advances in salary would be giVen
to those individually deserving them.
