Havana.-President Gomez sent
cablegram to President Taft, in which
he protests in friendly firmness
against Intervention by the United
States.
1T is my duty to say that so seri-
GUS a movement hurts the feelings OF
people who love and are jealous OF
their independence" he says, after re-
citing that he had received from Unit
ed States Minister Beaupre note
informing him that the Washington
government had ordered gunboat
to Nipe Bay and strong naval con-
centration at Key West in anticipa-
ton of possible eventualities, and also
in event that the Cuban government
was unable to protect American prop
erty, it was the intention to land
forces for that purpose.
President Gomez says the govern
ment is doing it's utmost, having With
in four days sent 5000 troops by land
and sea to crush the rebels in Orlente,
and in that short time having re-
stored 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 government is prepared to
flood the comparatively small disturb
ed section with regulars and volun'
teers.

a loyal friend Of Cuba, respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced
