INTERVENTION m CUBA
DEPlORED BY GOMEZ
President Of Island Republic Wires
Protest to President Tar, Feeling
Able to Handle Situation.

Havana.-President Gomez on Sun
day sent telegram to President Taft
in which he protests in friendly but
frm terms against Intervention by the
United States.
1T Is my duty to say that SO seri-
GUS a resolution alarms and hurts
tho feelings of people who have and
are jealous of their independence"
he says after reciting that he had re-
ceived from United States Minister
Beaupre a note informing him that
the Washington government had or
dered gunboat to Nipe bay and a
strong naval concentration at Key
West in anticipation of possible even
Qualities and also in event that the
Cuba government was unable to pro-
tect American property, it was the
intention to land forces for that pur-
pose.
President Gomez says the govern
ment Is doing it's utmost, having with.
In four days sent 5000 troops to
crush the rebels in Oriente and in
that short time having restored order
In all parts of the island, with that
exception.
He also says that 5000 rifles with
ammunition have been distributed to
loyal citizens and that the govern.
ment is prepared to food the compar.
atively small disturbed section with
regulars and volunteers.
II appeal to you," he continues, las
loyal friend of Cuba. respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and suf-
ficiently supported by the valor and
patriotism of the Cuban people to
deal promptly with a few unfortunate
and misguided persons without reason
or flag.
If you understand these conditions
you will perceive that it is not the
part Of friendly government to con-
tribute, under such circumstances, to
The embarrassment of a government
and people such as those of Cuba
placed, 1t is true, in unfortunate con-
ditions, but not lacking in its meth.

Observation-Disclosures and dis

be spreading beyond control of the
Cuban government caused the Ameri-
can government on Saturday to take
active steps in preparation to cope
with any situation which may arise in
the island republic
Two divisions of the Atlantic bat
tleship feet were ordered to take on
their full quota of marines, making a
total of 1900, in addition to the TOO

their presence is needed. In all a
dozen warships will be in the vicinity

The army is prepared with an expe.
dictionary force OF $4,000 men If it is
needed and plans for campaign to
stamp out the rebellion prepared by
the general staff are ready to be put
in execution at the call of the presi.
dent.
The insurrection and the serious
labor troubles as result of the re-
newal of the longshOremen's strike
are believed to warrant American pre-
paredness. OF the two, the disturb
.ances which probably will arise at
the Cuban ports through the strikers
operations are believed to be the more
immediate and dangerous elements in
the situation. In addition to the stop
page of trade, the throwing upon the
streets of large numbers of riotous la
borers and the privation likely to fol
low the cutting of water transporta
ton, the Cuban government is likely
to find itself without the sinews OF
war, at time when they are most
needed, through the total suspension
of customs receipts which form the
principal revenues of the island.
1t is believed that the near pres,
ence in such ports of one or more of
the American warships, by its moral
effect would prevent violent demon
