Washington. June i0.-'1ne presence of American warships in Havana har- bor this afternoon may be regarded as greatly diminishing the likelihood Ol intervention in Cuba, according to the construction placed upon that fact by the administration It is felt that the mere presence of the two warships will restrain the restless and eXcitable element of Havana.
 Secretary Krox Against Intervention.
 Secretary Knox who all along has lost no opportunity of declaring against any purpose to intervene pu- litically in Cubq unless absolute lS driven to do so because of the failure of the Cuban government to uphold the law and protect life and property, felt called upon today to renew that assurance directly 10 thc Cuban people through Orestez f'errara, speaker of tie. Cuban house of representa- tativcs And he also let it become known Co the American people not only that the United States does not contemplate ii- tervention but that he believed that the Cuban government would be able itself to suppress the instruction.
 Cuban Finances to Figure.
 Although the subject was not DIOdCHtQ III lOtdA ; tbllAfA fii+t ftt- tween Knox and Ferrara. it is gener- ally understood that the Cuban finances must soon figure again in foi- nal negotiations between the two countries. Under the treaty which governs their relations Cuba is not permitted to negotiate foreign loans, beyond her ability to meet, and it is for the United States to determine that question. If more funds are needed, it must be shown to Secretary Knoxs satisfaction that Cuba can safely carry an additional loan.
 A Perplexing Situation.
 It is understood that at present the total amount of the foreign obligations | of Cuba exceeds $65,000.O00, the inter est on which is sufficient to cause a I serious strain upon the resources of i the country. Secretary Knox there | fore may find himself in this diem ma: If he sanctions large additional | loan, Cuba may De plunged into bank Iuptcy; if he refuses. tE. present gov | ernment may collaps for lack of means to maintain a sufficient 2rmr 70 sui press rcbclli ln, and the United States may be forced to intervene.

GOMEZ FEELS HURT.
Does Not consid.r Warships Eeoes-
 sary for Foreign Protection.

Havana, June 10.- Interest n IIa- vana tonight centered oH the probable outcome of Colonel Orestes Ferrara's mission to Washington, which is gen erally believed to be for the purpose of cnnvlncing the American govern ment that there does not exist any ne- cessity for intervention. The campaign in Oriente and all questions hearing on the race animosities have become insignificant as compared with tho possibility of intervention The i'm pending arrival of the United States battleships Nebraska and New Jersey from Key West tends to strengthen the belief that the United States is about to take leading hand in Gu ban affairs.
 All danger of racial disturbances in Havana has apparently been dissi- pated by the arrival of Admiral Oster- haus' fleet this afternoon. None of the American bluejackets were allowed on shore.
 Colonel Ferrara sent a cablegram to President Gomez tonight in which he stated that the United States govern ment did not contemplate intervention but would persist in it's policy Of af- fording military protection to the for eign properties
 Presidential Secretary Ramierez oa behalf of the president made the fol- lowing statement to the Associated l Press:
 According to the news published in the local press, the arrival of two American warships today is due 10 | alarming reports sent 70 Washington, ] which is lamentable. The rec- 1t e' cnts m Havana lack in'Dot ancc, the police having promptly quclled tie ! disorder. Such events occur in all countries without exciting comment more than do strikes in the United States
 Tt Is lsments ble because the Cuban people have warm affection for the | United States and are surprised and hurt that Warships srs sent here for the protection Of interests which none have attacked or will attack The American sailors who are now visiting us, on observing the tranquility which now reigns, will say that the trouble | was merely a passing cloud !"

"A NAKED ISSUE"
Roosevelt Uses This Theme to Exploit
 Claims of Fraud.

New York, June 1O.-Theodore Roosevelt discusses present conditions al Chicago in an article entitled "A Naked Issue of Right and Wrong" made public tonight and to appear in the current issue,of The Outlook, Mir Roosevelt says in part
 "The contest for the republican nom ination has now narrowed down to a naked issue of right and wrong: for the issue Is simply whether or not we shall permit system of naked fraud, of naked theft from the people, to tri- umph.
 q have made this contest on two great principles-First. the right of the people to rule and therefore in the exercise of their deliberate judgment to control their government and their sovrnmental agents; and, second, their outy so to rule as to bring about not cnIy political but social and industrial justice. l have endeavored everywhere to appeal not to the politicians but to the people themselves and to get their judgment, stating scores of times thai I would do my best to convert them to my way of thinking, that l should acquiesce as a matter of course in their Judgment if 1t was adverse. but that if their judgment was favorable I did not intend tamely to submit to an effort by the pohucians-th is, by the bosses acting as the representa-
 lives of special privilege-to throw aside the verdict of the people and substitute a fake verdict of their own. This is precisely what MT. Barnes, Mir. Mckinley and their associates and representatives on the national committee are now attempting, but I will not be prepared to believe they have tho support of majority of the committee.
 T freely admit that honorable and honorable and upright msn can differ from mo though I strongly contend that the doctrines 1 uphold are essen j. tial if our country Is to be kept as a true democracy But during the last slx weeks Mir.

RoosEVELTs ATTITUDE.
Doesn't Want Decision in His Favor
 Unless It Is a Clear Case.

Oyster Bay. N. r., June tO--"I told Senator Dixon and the other Roose- welt leaders in Chicago that I did not wish them to support any of the con tested Roosevelt delegates except where it was such clear case that they would support them if they were Taft delegates"
 Colonel Roosevelt stated his posi- tion in regard to the contests before the republican national committee in these words tonight.
 On the action of the committee in seating the four Taft delegates at large from Indiana he would not say 0 word except that he did not know the particulars of the case.
 The contest before the committee over the California delegation, Col onel Roosevelt said, could hardly be decided against him, as he believed that the position of the Roosevelt del- egates was plainly in the right, since he had carried the state by about 60,- 900 majority. The national commit tee, he said, might of course rule against the delegates on a technicality.
 But they can't get away with the swag," he added.
 Colonel Roosevelt said that in his opinion, the convention would not be bound by the action of the national committeeman whose terms expire next Tuesday"
