THE REBELLION IN CUBA.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT

ROOSEVELT,

CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE • .

HOW TO MAINTAIN IT,

[PKESB ASSOCIATION.!. (Received Sept. 16, 4.32 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 15. I'iesident Roosevelt has addressed a vigorous letter to Senor Gonzollo' de Guiesada, the Cuhan Minister at Washington. It states that it Cuba wishes to retain her independence she must show her ability to continue in' the path of peaceful, orderly progress: American intervention will come only if absolutely necessary. Cuba has fallen into the. insurrectionary habit, and lacks the restraint necessary to peaceful self-government, arid contending factions are plunging the country into anarchy. Patriots must sink their differences and personal ambitions, remembering that they will preserve independence only by preventing the possibilty of outside interference. Hostilities must cease immediately, and some arrangement must be made for securing permanent pacification. President Roosevelt adds thatjie is spending Mr W. H. Taft, Minister for War, and Mr R. Bacon, Assistant-Secretary of State, to Havana as special representatives of America to assist in carrying out the above ends.
