THE CUBA REVIEW 13 will be sent for the protection of American and other foreign property, in case the Cuban government has not sufficient power at their disposal for this purpose." "Do you think this will become a necessity?" "I do not know. But this is certain. As soon as the Cuban army will be once free to persecute the revolutionary bands and use their own guerilla tactics against the rebels the end will be very near. So far the Cuban soldiers have had their hands full to protect foreign property, in accordance with Cuba's international obligations. It is impossible to prevent, right from the start, in such mountainous neighborhoods as exist in the eastern part of Cuba, robberies and the burning of property. But the conditions are now changing by the population of the respective districts taking up arms in aid of the government." "How long will the revolution last?" "It would not be fair to expect that the revolution should be suppressed in a certain number of days, especially in the rainy season. But the w'orld can be sure that President Gomez and the government of Cuba will do all in their power and that if they are left alone, order and peace will soon be restored." "What is the opinion of the Cuban people generally?" "This is shown best b)' the address of President Gomez to the Cuban people and from which very much can be learned. To deprive the Cubans of their liberty and independence for which they have fought for almost a century would be a very difficult problem. There is no law or agreement which says that Cuba must cease to exist as a nation, because small irresponsible bands have destroyed some foreign property. The sympathy of all the governments and of the people ought to be an incentive to the Cuban government to try to put an end- to this revolution. On account of my fun- damental knowledge of the United States and its people I am fully convinced that there has never been an intention to intervene, without sufficient reason, and so commit the incredible political crime of obliterating the republic which America herself has helped to establish and the progress of which she has supported in every w'ay." The Cuban ^Marine Hospital Service be- gan precautions against the importation of cholera about the middle of June. The port authorities throughout the island have been instructed to maintain special vigi- lance against all vessels arriving from Mediterranean ports. Dr. Huerta of Havana, whu received the honorary degree of doctor of science at Harvard last month, proved that Cuba was at one time a part of the mainland. His collection of fossils and shells, which enabled him to establish his proofs, has been contributed to the Harvard museum.
