Revolution Spreading in Cuba
From Cuba comes the news of a revolution which seems to be rapidly spreading throughout the island. In one or two engagements the rebels have come off at least evenly victorious in their conflicts with the government troops. President Palma fears for his life. There seems to be no desire on the part of the American Government to interfere, and yet the revolutionists seem to be doing all they can to provoke interference. They have shown special enmity toward American settlers there. It certainly was to be hoped that Cuba might make a success of self-government, for surely the island has had enough of the ravages of war. Later: The Cuban Government has called on this government for help.
