LANSING
To CUBA
Intimates Intervention If
Insurrectos Unable To
Settle Election Quietly
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Realizing
that the contested presidential cleo
ton of Cuba has already reached an
incipient state of rebellion, Secretary
Lansing sent another appeal to Ha-
vana urging Cubans not to plunge the
country into another war, He urged
Cubans to await the outcome of the
voting and to abide by decisions of
the court. The Tilden-Hayes election
IN the United States was pointed to
as an example of closeness in cleo
tons in this country. The Cubans
were told such is not uncommon in all
countries While it was made clear
the United States would regret the
necessity of forcible intervention, it
is intimated the United States would
not countenance a civil war.
