The attitude of the authorities of the United Slates In Cuba regarding the possibilities of the present situation seemed fairly ex presseil when Colonel Waller, commanding the marines, remarked that "an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of onre." The remark was called forth by preparations that were going on at Camp Columbia to transport marines from the encamp nient westward for the purpose of having them In adjacent towns when the first Installments of General Guerrn's disbanded men reach these places. While no disorder Is anticipated when the former revolutionists reach their homes, the provisional government and the military authorities consider the actual military occupation of the I'lnar del Klo region quite as essential as the occupation of other perilous of the Island and regarded It best to have an American force there to Insure the preservation of tranquillity. It Is Indicted that nil the revolutionists In the vicinity of Havana will have iM en peacefully dispersed In three days. Generals Guerra and Casfil lo are actively co operaling to this end. Together with Gunman, the commander In chief of the rebels In Santa Clara province, they railed at the American legation nnd renewed their promises of assistance.
