make further efforts to nullify the
law prohibiting interference of the
military in political affairs, interven-

warning is needed
Havana. - President Gomez says
there is no occasion for Intervention
in the affairs of Cuba by the United
States.
General Emilio Nunez, head H the
Veterans Association, refuses to be-
lieve Intervention has been threat
ened but says if it comes every Gu
ban will fight the Americans to the
death.
Washington. - The attitude of the
United States is shown in the follow
ing note presented to the Cuban gov
ernment:
The situation in Cuba is now re-
ported causes grave concern to the
government of the United States.
THAT the laws intended to safe
guard free republican government
shall be enforced and obeyed is obvi-
ously essential to the maintenance of
the law, order and stability indis-
pensable to the status of the Repub-
lie of Cuba, in the continued well-be-
ing of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a
vital interest.
The President of the United
States therefore looks to the Presi-
dent and government of Cuba to pre-
vent the threatened situation which
would compel the government of the
United States, much against it's de-
sires, to consider what measures it
must take in pursuance of the obli-
cations of it's relations to Cuba"
The notification of the American
government was served upon Presi-
dent Gomez through American Minis
ter Beaupre at Havana. 1t was on re-
ports of Minister Beaupre that the
note was based. He reported from
Havana that in defiance of a decree
issued by President Gomez forbidding
officers of the army and rural guard
to participate in politics. many army
officers and rurales attended meet
ing recently of the National Council
of Veterans, an organization of veter-
ans of the Cuban war of indepen-
dence. Such participation also is pro-
hibited by law.
The veterans have been active in
the last three months. in attempting
to have displaced from the civil serv-
ice persons who sympathized with the
Spanish cause in the rebellion.
Press dispatches indicated that the
veterans were threatening to coerce
members of Congress to nullify the
law regarding the participation of the
military in politics.
