President Roosevelt has addressed to
the Cuban people what practically is
an ultimatum.
He declared that permanent peace
must at once be arranged in the Island
or else the United States will inter-
yene by armed force under the author
ity Of the Plat amendment
This was the obvious and clear-cut
intent of letter automatically adj
dressed to Senior Quesada, the Cuban
minister. who is now in Lisbon, but
which, the President in the body Of the
letter states, really is intended for the
Cuban government and the Cuban peo-
pie. In accordance with this specific
purpose the President says he has di-
rected the letters Immediate publica-

Cuban Government Incapable.
President Roosevelt declares in this
letter that the present Cuban govern
ment, by its own act and admissions,
has proven itself incapable of main
tanning order throughout the island. 1t
has failed to protect the lives and prop.
erty either OF its own citizens or for
eign residents Of the island.
This condition Of anarchy, the PreSi-
dent insists, must end. The present
civil war must cease and arrange
ments be made for an immediate and
permanent peace.
In order that arrangements for such
peace may be made the President is
sending Secretary of War Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon to
Havana. 1t is their duty to see that
the necessary arrangements are car
ried out.
TO meet any unexpected crisis that
may arise before peace can be restored
President Roosevelt has arranged for
the immediate dispatch to Havana of
six more cruisers and 1000 marines.
The cruisers selected for Cuban ser
vice are
Des Moines-Two hundred marines;
sailed from Key West
Dixie-Three hundred marines; sailed
from Guantanamo.
Tacoma-Three hundred marines; sail
ed from Norfolk, Va.
Cleveland-Three hundred marines
sailed from Norfolk, Va.
Minneapolis-Three hundred marines
under steam at League Island navy yard,
Philadelphia, waiting orders.
Newark-Three hundred marines
ready to sail from Norfolk, Va, at hours
notice.
Admits Crisis Is Grave.
The decision to have a force of 1000
fighting men ready to set foot on Cuban
soil at any time the situation demands
their presence there illustrates the
alarm with which the government
views the situation in Cuba. 1t was
for the purpose of preparing to meet
