May 27", President Taft todaj replied to Prssldsnt from./.- telegram oi yesterday re? garding tho attltuds of tho United States towards Cuba. He declared tho American government'* activi? ties in moboli'/ing war vessels at K< y W.st and dispatching the Prairie with marines to Ouantunamo was not in any sense an intervention move. Tr e following is the text of the mes? sage: I am sincerely gratified to learn of your government's energetic meas? ures to put down disturbances and t > know that ynu are confident of being successful. As was fully explained 10 the Cuban charge d'affaires here, thi.j government's motive In sending ships to Key West, was merely to be able to act promptly In case It should un? fortunately become necessary to pro? tect American life and property oy rendering moral support or assist? ance to the Cuban government. As was made quite clear at the time, these ordinary measures of precau? tion were entirely disassociated from any question of Intervention. The state department tonight em? phatically declared that the present Cuban situation in no sense made intervention necessary. No Americui troops other than the marines al? ready on their way to the island wore to be ordered out. It was stated. It was shown that the fund available for the transportation of troops has run low with the approach of the end of the fiscal year and any attempt to move troops from posts In this country In Cuba would be costly. In addition to this the departme nt and the administration are anxious to adhere closely to the terms of the 1*1111 amendment under which the Untied States lnter\ened in Cuba af? lat th?.Uanse of the Palma admit** Istration in 1 0ft.

SATISFIED. Exchange of Telegram* Hun Led to Clearing * P of Imubu Am to su aatlon. Habana, May 27. The exchange of cablegram! between President Oomea end President Taft has led to a more definite und? rstanding re? garding the attltuds of tin* United States towards Cuba. President Qomes's message of protest against American Intervention today drew a response from the president of the United states in which assurancea were given that the action of the American government merely was a measure of precaution and entirely disassociated from any question of intervention. To this President Gomez tonight replied as follows: "1 am exceedingly grateful for your cablegram, which is appeasing to Cuban patriotism because of the assurance that the action of the gov? ernment under your worthy presi? dency is limited to the observation of events, in order to be ready should it be necessary to protect the lives and property of American citizens and morally to support the Cuban government without having to land American forces on our territory un? less both governments agree upon such an extreme necessity. "It clearly shows the sincerity of the government and the people of the Cnited States, as well as noble and friendly sentiment towards the gov? ernment and people of Cuba, who are determined to re-establish as soon as possible public peace, for which pur? pose they will not hesitate, no matter what sacrifice circumstances may im? pose upon them." j The receipt of President Taftjl mes? sage was a source of much gratifica? tion to the Cuban government. Pres? ident Gomez summoned the members of his cabinet and acquainted them with its :ext. The in pression is general that the removal of the fear of intervention will greatly strengthen popular sup? port of the government. The Cuban government continued unsparing In Its efforts to rush rein foroetnen s to Oriente province. The new cruiser Cuba sailed for Santiago this afternoon with the commander In chief of the army. Gen Montea guedOi the general staff ;?nd uuo sol? diers of all arms aboard.

Estenoa and Gen. Invonel to about 5.000 regulars, all aimed and drilled. The nnvnl station at Guantannmu reports that the transport Prairie with 70m marine* aboard, has not arrived aid is not expected until tomorrow. President Gomes in a statement to? day asserts thai all traces of the re? bellion have been extinguished, except in nine township ol Oriente, In which the government will have w'thln two or three days a Well armed force ol 9,000 men Including volunteers, many of whom are skilled in guerilla war? fare. He expressed full conlldenee that the government forces will sonn prove their ability to scatter the 1? bebt to the wooda and mountains without requiring American as-.st? ance. < \hl,S IMM1GII \ \m\ cu t is.
