WARNS CUBA TO BEHAVE.
United States Hints It Will Not Toler.
ate Rebellion.

Washington, Feb. 13.-An appeal to
the Cubans not to plunge their country
into another revolution has been sent
to Havana by Secretary Lansing.
Aroused to the realization that the con-
tested presidential election in Cuba al
ready had reached the incipient stage
OF rebellion the state department de-
cided to issue to the people an urgent
voting and to abide by the decision of
their courts.
The communication was sent to the
American minister with instructions to
have 1t published thruout the island.
Thru the American minister at Ha-
vana it was made clear that the Amer
ican government would regret any me-
cessty for forcible interference again
in Cuban affairs. but it was intlmated
that the United States could not coun-
tenance the recurrence of civil war.
s'The government Of the United
States, in view Of its relations with the
republic Of Cuba and on account Of
the duties which are imposed upon it
by the agreement between the two
countries" Lansing's statement says,
"is regarding with no small concern
the question Of the new elections. in
Santa Clara province.
The government Of the United
States is confident both parties are en-
deavoring to do their utmost to settle
their difficulties thru the agencies pro-
vided by law and without having re-
course to methods which would cause
a disturbance thruout the republic and
1t would view with qualification the
invoking Of the, constituted judicial
methods by the people of Cuba, par
ticularly at the present time, when the
great portion Of the world Is embroiled
In armed conflict.
Mindful of the patriotic deeds done
By the Cuban heroes III their struggles
for liberty, the United States is con-
tident the same patriotic spirit will
prevail in the settlement Of the pres-
ent electoral difficulty.
TN view Of the interest which this
government feels for the future Of
Cuba as a nation highly advanced in
patriotism and social development, It
Is anxious that all the parties should
know that their course is being fol-
lowed by the United States with the
closest observance and in the confident
expectation that the means provided
for by the Cuban constitution and the,
laws enacted for this very purpose will
bring as aslogical result satisfactory
and peaceahle settlement Of the press.

Washington Looks For Incident That
Will Bring Declaration Of War.
Washington. Feb. 13-Berlin's formal
announcement that the time has az
pired for all exceptions in the canr-
paign OF ruthIessness turned atten-
tion here today to the questions for
the American government in what
ever next steps may be taken 70 meek
the situation. President w1sen
abandoned his usual game q goH ana
remained in his study.
Among the questions now boine
carefully considered are thee:
The proposed conference OF neutrals
to outline the rights OF the nations not
engaged in the war. This has not taken
definite form and it's exact status has
not been divulged. Nevertheless 1t is
known the idea has not been aban-
doned
Loaning guns for the arming OF nner-
chant ships. The preponderance Of
opinion Of officials favors having the
navy furnish these guns.
Action on the Austrian situation in
the new campaign. The new am
bassador. Count Tarnowski, still is
waiting to present his credentials.
A reply to MeXico's suggestion for
an embargo on food and ammunition
to belligerents.
All Of these questions will have to be
decided in the near future. While 1t
was reiterated that the president
would not be rushed into war. it was
plain today that all officials feared
the expected overt act might be re-
corded at any time.

sAvoNErs Awe HOLLAND.
Five Army Corps on the Frontier One
Raaaon For NautralitY.

2 ID
Copenhagen, via London, Feb. 13.--
Five German army corps tabout ,000
men) concentrated on the Holland
frontier furnished q fairly convincing
explanation, in default of other rea-
sons. for the failure Of the Dutch gov
ernment to adopt a policy toward Ger
many recommended by President Will
son on account of the German subma-
rine campaign.
The assembling Of German troops in
fairly large numbers in the vicinity OF
the Holland border had been the sub
ject OF gossip in Berlin military circles
for several weeks before DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg' announcements of the
| new submarine campaign.
Their presence there at time when
Germany was talking peace instead OF
a policy that would weigh most heav-
lily upon neutral interests was then
usually explained as precautionary
measure or even merely characterized
as part of plan for the distributes Of
strategic reserves for the spring CAM
paign.
Such reserves, before the enemy
plans and place OF attack developed,
usually are concentrated at spot we'll
behind the battle front where there are
good railway lines for moving them to
a menaced point on the front as soon
as the location Of the opponents main
effort definitely is established. Ac-
cordingly some doubt was raised con-
cerning the latter explanation.
6ayonets W Neutrality.
Whatever the cause OF the con-
centration, a large force OF German
troops was on the Holland border when
Germany's Inauguration OF submarine
war and President Wilson's appeal to
neutral nations to Join with America
In protecting neutral interests against
Germany, brought to the foreground
the question of Hollands possible ac-
tion in reply to the German campaign.
Their bayonets emphasized the
economic and political reasons why
sci which 1t was feared might have
drawn the little kingdom into the great
European war.
Flaw in Dutch Defense? Is
Rumors were heard, too, in neutral
quarters in Berlin before the departure
of the Associated Press correspondent
that flaw had been discovered in
Hollands strategic scheme of defense
against Germany, which. as is known,
involves flooding parts of the country
In front OF the selected first lines OF
defense
According to these reports, 1t had
been discovered that attempts to flood
these districts would lay under water
far greater area than had been con-
templated and would throw the gem
eral scheme Of Hollands defense in
confusion.
