Havana.-While the first month In
the life of the restored Cuban repub,

1t has at least not been marked by
any incident calculated to confirm the
prediction that the experiment OF Gu.

the government of General Gomez has
still to present assurances OF Its
ability wisely and firmly to direct tho
destinies of the island. Cubans OF all
parties seem for the time being de

another American Intervention.

eminent, one of the most prominent
Americans expressed the fear that the
Gomez administration would collapse
within three months; but he added
that II It survived 1t probably would
