Washington. June 1.-The arrival or
General Monteagudo at the front as
the commander-in-chief of the Cuban
federal forces is being closely watched
here. Should the rebel bands continue
to attack foreign property it is posi-
BILE the United States will send a fleet
of small vessels to various points bor-
dering on the rebel zones to have ma.
rines on hand for immediate action.
The fact that the rebel leaders in
the present revolution are giving re-
ceipts for property taken in the name
Of Estenoz Is believed here to indi-
cate that the movement Is an organized
and an earnest one.
In army circles the failure Of the
Cuban federal force to make any head
way against the rebels is believed to
be due to the fact that the government
forces have been compelled to place
themselves GA the defensive by at
tempting to furnish small detachments
to many foreign properties which are

President Taft holds the view that

necessary. He so advised the Cuban
relations committee of the senate In
connection with the Bacon resolution
designed to supplement the Plat
amendment by enacting specific "au-
thority of law" for what now would
be an assumed authority" to inter
vene. 1t was reported the committee
might recommend that during a ses.
sion of congress responsibility should
rest upon that body, by reference of
the matter to it by the president, but
when congress was not in session the
president should have a free hand TO
! act.
