Cuban Revolution Is Still Perplexing
American Officials.

Washington, March 16.-Govern-
ment officers DO not consider the Gu
ban revolution situation settled. While
there has been no definite talk of in
PREVENTION, it is positively known such
step is within the bounds of posi-
bility-
German plotting and sinister Ger
man influence n the island republic
are not broken. Capture of Jose
Miguel Gomez, insurgent leader, her
aided at first as smashing the Ger
man conceived Instruction, has
failed to quell-the trouble.
Official reports to Washington from
this governments diplomatic consular
and naval officials in Cuba have con-
WINGED Washington officials that
chances of a return to peace there
still are remote. Guerilla warfare
continues.
German plotters, it has been report
ed here, have a double purpose. One
is to give the United States all the
trouble possfb1e-to draw this gov
ernment's attention away as far as
possible from Europe; the other is use
of Cuba as the most strategic point in
the event of hostilities between the
United States and Germany

more at this season of the year than

Grand Duke Reaches Capital.
Grand Duke Nicholas is reported
to have arrived at the capital and the
probability is pointed to that he will
take command of the troops
of the complete success of the revo-
nations. Despite the non-appearance
of newspapers, the public is better
informed of what is going on than
ever before. For this purpose spe-

Distribute News in Bulletins.
Thru this bulletin service, Presi-
dent Rodzianko has appealed earnest
ly to the people not to injure public
buildings, telegraphs, the water sup

tinue the public services and avoid
bloodshed. In the meanwhile he is
energetically tackling the food prob

the combined efforts of the duma and
the Zemstvo will soon assure an ade-

The REIMBURSEMENT of the throne by
Nicholas II automatically deprives
him of his rank as commander-in-
chief of the Russian armies.
The heir to the throne is an infant
and Grand Duke Michael named as
regent, while a soldier of repute is
not of commanding military exper-
fence. Thus the nation, the Petro-
grad dispatches indicate, is turning
lutionary movement in which the lead
was taken by the duma, seems no
doubt. While there have been few
advices received as to the attitude of
the army at the front, such news as
has been received indicates that the
militia with the exception of reac-
tionaries among the officers, together
with all the popular forces of the
empire, is backing the new govern
ment The civil forces of the nation
are cooperating with the government
most heartily in restoring the normal
life of the empire.
General Amnesty for Prisoners.
The duma, which is the chief factor
in shaping the course of the new re-
CINE and the Zemestovo council are
reported cooperating successfully in
STRENGTHENING out the tangles which
have resulted from the momentous
change in government control.
The food problem is being attacked
and the people themselves seem to be
exercising their own authority to re-
press any elements of the population
that might be inclined to indulge in
excuses.
A measure of general political am
nesty is reported in course of prepa-
ration by the new Russian minister
of Justice. Grand Duke Nicholas is
said to have Endorsed this move as
one necessary to save the empire and
bring the war to successful con-
clusion.
Army Presents Problem.
London, March 16.-The Grand
Duke Nicholas is reported in Reu-

Wall Street, New York, March 16-
-Recessions of one to two points in such
speculative issues as Industrial Alcohol,
General Motors and Lackawanna Steel
caused more moderate reversals elsewhere
before the end of the first hour, after
which the market settled down to its re-
cent excessive apathy. Traders were
obviously disinclined to assume new COM
mitments for either account pending word
from Washington on the threatened rail
way strike. The Russian situation seemed
to excite little interest except in banking
circles and exchange on Petrograd was
firm.
Bonds were dull and steady save for
slight concessions in internationals.
Prospects of nationwide railway strike
and the extraordinary foreign develop
ments eXerted little adverse influence as
market factors at the outset of today $
opera lions aside from a curtailment of
dealings. Prices were irregular, but main
ly higher. with gains of point in such
potential leaders as u S. steel, Utah COP,

tive stocks were fractionally better with
an advance of almost three points for Ohio

and other war and equipment issues were
steady to firm, the only notable exception
being central leather and pressed steel car.
