Havana, May 27-The exchange of 1 cablegrams between President Gomez and President Taft has led to more definite understanding regarding the attitude of the United States toward Cuba. President Gomez's message of protest against American intervention drew a response today from the presi- dent of the United States in which as- surances were given that the action of the American government was merely a measure of precaution and entirely disassociated from any ques- tion of intervention. To this President Gomez replied tonight as follows;
 Gomez Expresses Gratitude.
 q am exceedingly grateful for your cablegram which is appeasing to Gu ban patriotism, because of the as- suTance that the action of the gov ernment under your worthy presidency is limited to the observation of events, in order to be ready should it be nee essary to protect the lives and proper ty of American citizens, and morally 70 support the Cuban government with out having to land American forces on our territory unless both governments agree upon such an extreme necessity.
 Shows Our Sincerely.
 Tt clearly shows the sincerity of the government and the people Of the United States as well as noble and friendly sentiments towards the gov ernment and people of Cuba, who are determined to re- establish as soon as possible pubiice peace for which pur- pose they will not hesitate. no matter what sacrifices circumstances may i'm pose upon them"

 The Cuban government continued to be unsparing in it's efforts to rush re- Inducements to Oriente province. The new cruiser Cuba sailed for Santiago this afternoon with the commander in-chief of the army, General Montea- | guido, the general staff and coo soldiers of all arms aboard. The chartered steamer Julia also sailed with GOO troops, including several companies of coast artillery and a contingent from the Cuban Red Cross.
