Washington, Jan. 6.-[ Special. lit is
very difficult to obtain definite infor-
nation as to just what is going on in
Cuba, but 1t is the opinion of all ia
miliar with conditions in the island
that Intervention by the United States
Is hound to come and when this coun.
try again goes into Cuba 1t will be for
all time.
Perhaps that is one reason why there
IL such an effort on the part of Ameri
cans in Cuba to bring about another
revolution and intervention The prob.
abilities are that the present govern
ment can maintain itself until after
another election.
Elections are fatal to the peace OF
Latin American republics. as the peo-
pie Of Spanish descent do not take
kindly to defeat and generally become
revolutionists. Cnbans are no exeep-
tion To the rule, and It is expected that
as soon as an election is held there will
be trouble. There lis no doubt that
our military authorities are taking into
consideration the possibilities of an
other intervention.
intervention Is Expensive.
These officers are figuring on the ex-
pense of Intervention. and, although
the cost or our last trip to Cuba with
an army Is not accurately known. ii
amounts to 100000.
Emperor William can land an army
In Cuba with less than one-third the
expense of what it costs MS remarked
an officer In the war department "In
the first place he has the troops all
ready to move on short notice. In
that respect a country ready for war
or on war footing can go into mill
tary action with great deal less ex-
pense than a country on peace basis.
Then Germany has the ships ready to
convert into transports on short no
tice. Our people had to charter every
thing possible up and down the coast
and fit them out as transports, which
was very expensive
1t Is an interesting fact that about
half tho cost Of the Intervention in
Cuba was for the quartermaster's de-
partnent, which furnishes army trans
