WASHINGTON, SEPT. 24.

· ARMED INTERVENTION BY THE UNITED STATES IN CUBA CAME APPRECIABLY CLOSER TO-DAY, OWING TO THE INCREASING GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.

The commanders of American warships, in Cuban waters have now been authorised to land forces on their own initiative if they consider it necessary.

Washington has, however, made it clear that a landing must not be made if it can possibly be avoided, although it is admitted in official circles that there is cause for serious concern in the increasing lawlessness, and it is feared that the landing of marines and blue- jackets cannot be avoided unless a change for the better takes place.
