INTERVENTION
NOT INTENDED
Roosevelt Hopes
to Avoid Landing
of Troops.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

President Roosevelt, informed
early this morning of the new
revolutionary outbreak in Cuba,
ordered the cruiser Richmond and
its destroyer escort, the U. s. S.
Bainbridge and the U. S. S. Nc
Farland, to proceed in all haste
from the Canal Zone to Havana.
The two destroyers carry their
full complement because they
have been used as training ships
for the reserve of the Navy during
the Summer and the Richmond
has on board IS Marines.
The three destroyers which had been
sent to Havana three weeks ago and
were ordered to Guantanamo when the
situation appeared to settle down after
the coming to Office of President de
Cespedes are also available One of
them. the Sturtevant. was ordered this
morning to Santiago where serious dis
turbances were reported.
The State Department reiterated en-
phatically today the statement made by
the President in August that these
American naval vessels are being sent
to Cuba exclusively for the purpose of
protecting the lives and property of the
American citizens living on that island
The State Department is anxious to
have this clear, that the presence of
American men-of-war in Cuba harbors
does not mean in the least a desire on
the part of the United States to in
terfere in Cuba's internal affairs.
Secretary Cordell Hull had two tele-
phone conversations this morning with
Ambassador Sumner Welles and it
appears that the Ambassador has no.
been able to convey to the Secretary
of State any definite information as
to the trend Of the new revolution. He
has given him only factual informa-
ton as to the most recent develop
ments, but was not able to say whether
the rest Of the people in Cuba are
supporting the move Of the army.
navy and police force.
It is natural that the question Of
possible Intervention by dispatchlng to
Cuba an important Marine force is
being considered, although this action
on the part of the American Govern
ment will be adopted as q last resort
when all other means for establishing
law and order in Cuba have been ex-
hausted
u. s. Caught Unawares.
For the time being although other
naval vessels, such as the Indianapolis,
are being kept in readiness to be hur-
ried to Havana or to Santiago, and
the Marine force in Haiti is standing
by to be dispatched to Cuba, neither
the President nor his advisers intend
doing anything else except act as ad-
visers between the Cuban political
factions.
There is no doubt that the new
Cuban revolution has caught the United
States and Ambassador Welles totally
unawares.
Satisfied that the new Cuban govern
ment had more or less the support Of
the people and minimizing the restless
ness and the dissatisfaction which has
been prevailing on the island since the
fall of Machado as the inevitable con-
sequences of the revolution, Ambassa-
dor Welles was caught mapping. The
new revolution was as much OF sur
prise to him as it was to the State
Department and the rest Of the Amer
ican Government and the American

Julio Gaunaurd, editor of a weekly
