ment in Accordance with
Treaty Obligations.

Washlnfton, Jan. 18. Warning that
the United States, although reluctant to
du so, will Intervene t.. maintain s re
Corn government In Cuba,
ilion of which is threatened
by th, the military party,
was transmitted to the government of
the island t..-day by the State Depart
through Minister Beaupr?, at Ha?
vana.
The prlmarj purpose of the action of
ih.? United States Is to uphold President
Gomes, who has been defied by the com?
bination Of veterans Of the lato war and
officers of the armj and the rural
guards, .nid t.. enable him to point out
that the alternative to respecting iiie
law means ?.merlean Intervention.
Thr- imm?diat.aaloa for the warn?
ing was the fact, of which the Statt
partnieiit was Informed by Minister
Beaupr?, that In violation of a decree'
,1 i.\ President G< mes, baaed ?>n the j
military law, i number of officers of the
army and the rurales had attended a
meeting of the National Council of Vet?
erans on the night of Sunday. January
11. and wer? ra-relved with enthusiasm.
The note states that the laws Intended \
? republican govern
inenl ' enforced and not defied,
and that the United States lT>ks t?. the
?lent and government of Cuba to
prevent s threatened situation whi< h
i compel the United States to con
si,?.-r the measures it must take in pur
suance of its f.hliga ions to Cuba. Thi
n full followa:
The S'tustion in Cuba as now reported
causes grave concern to the government
cf the United States.
That the laws intended to safeguard
free republican government shall be en?
forced and not defied is obviously essen?
tial to the maintenance of the law, order
and stability indispensable to the status
of the republic of Cuba, in the continued
wellbe ng of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a vitai
.nterest.
The President of the United States
loons to the President and government of
Cuba to prevent a threatened situation
which would compel the government of
the United States, much against its de?
sires, to consider what measures it must
take in pursuance of the obligations of
its relations to Cuba.
The attendance of th?- officers of the
trmy and th?5 rural guard at the vet?
erans' meeting is th>- culmination of a
mov. nient which has been the ocasi?n
of much unrest in the island for the last
six months or more, and gives basis for
the fear that Cuba is drifting in thr?
direction Of B military dictatorship.
win- : has proved the moal serious ob
itaci?- to the maintenance of a stable
government In many ?if the Latm-Amcr
lcac rep?blica,
Gomez Defied by Veterans.
President Gomel has so far been un?
able to check the movement it began
with a demand for the practical abroga?
tion of th.- ? ?vll service law and the dis?
missal ?if all employ.-s of tlu- Cuban gov?
ernment v ho bad been in sympathy with
the Bpanlsh cauae In the late war. When
it assumed dangerous proportions Presl
dent Gomes Issued a decree forbidding
military officers to attend the political
meftings of th?- veterans' association,
whirn. ai the note states, was already
prohibited bj the military laws. The
defiance of this .1?- ree is regarded as al?
most tantamount t?. throwing down the
? el by the military party to the con?
stituted authorities of th?- island, and as
far t approximating an effort
to overturn the government.
Th<- situation, from t)i<- point of view
of th-- 1'nited States, is the most serious
that bas arisen in th?- island since it
was threatened with bankruptcy through
th? wholesale distribution of omees
- shortly nfti.r it was placed on an
Independent footing. The action <>f he
Vntte.l state? is also Intended to make
clear that it does not ?b-sir?- Interven
tion and win exercise every possible pre?
caution to prevent such a <<>ntingcii< >.
At th--?ame time it emphasises the tact
that H an? , a M.-t, ah? uld b. necessary
