Washington, Feb. 14.-The Ameri-
can government is much disturbed
over the revolutionary outbreak in
Cuba, but while it stands ready to
take any steps which may become
necessary to protect it's interests
there no apparent preparations have
been made so far for active interven-
ton Of any sort
Officials still hope that Cubans will
work out for themselves a satisfac-

In some diplomatic quarters there
is a belief that strong foreign pres

her break with the United States,
would be most likely to figure in such
a move. If officials have any evidence
that there is truth in these suspicious,
however, they have not revealed it.
