Received September 16, 4.32 p.m. NEIW YORK, September 15. President Roosevelt has addressed a vigorous letter to Senor Gonzolo de Quieaada, Cuban Minister at Washington. He states that if Cuba wishes to retain her independence she must show her ability to continue in the path of peaceful, orderly progress. American intervention will only come if Cuba has fallen into the insurrectionary habit, and lacks that restraint, and also if the contending factions are plunging the country into anarchy. Patriots must sink their differences and personal ambitions, remembering that they can only prserve their independence by preventing the possibility of outside interference; that hostilities cease immediately; aleo that aome> arrangement be made securing permanent pacification. The President adds that ho is sending the Hon. W. H. Taft, Minister of War, and Mr. R. Bacon, AssistantSecretary of State, to Havana as the special representatives of America to assist in carrying out the above ends.
