HAVANA August 22—Back In the palace here tonight after a fortnight | in Santa Clara directing his troops, President Gerardo Machado said that he believed the revolution had been successfully stamped out and that ac- tion had ceased on all fronts. It became known tonight, however, that President Machado yesterday put into effect for Oriente Province the state of war decreed in all the re- public August 10. Fighting in recent days has centered in the far eastern section. Worn by loss of sleep, the President retired immediately after arriving and | napped for three hours before dining with his family. He seemed quite happy over the man- ner in which his troops performed during these strenuous days, but ex- pressed sorrow over the number slain during the various engagements. Rebel Claims Denied. Army headquarters denied reports there was still firing in many paris of Oriente Province—reports which were circulated by revolutionary leaders here today. The anti-Machadoists had as- serted that some progress was being made by the rebels in the eastern prov- | ince and that loyal troops had bees unsuccessful in preventing the opposi tion from gathering in force at Man zanillo and Bayamo. 3 i It was also denied there had’ been action at Chaparra and other points in Oriente today Huge crowds gathered at the Cab- alleria landing today when the gun- boat Patria docked and unloadsd con. fiscated arms taken at Gibara during the battle thiere the first part of the The Patria, its armor plate deeply scarred by rebel shells, unloaded sever- | al anti-aircraft guns, 50 boxes of | pringtield rifies, 4,000 cases of ma-| cl gun bullets and several boxes of | larger ammunition. There were also a large number of machine guns taken during the Gibara action. Army vans were brought to the docks and 200 men drafted from the Public Works Department slung the confis- { cated war material up from the hold | of the gunboat and into the waiting trucks. A detachment of troops guarded the | docks during the unloading process, which required several hours. Captain Escapes Death. Captain Eugenio Erquiaga of the Patria ssaid he had narrowly escaped death Quring the Gibara action and pointed to the path taken by one of the .50-caliber bullets which went through the pilot's cabin. He said he had been standing in the center of | the cabin a moment before the shell | entered. | " President Machado's return was in- | terpreted by observers as a sign of the | executive's confidence that the revolt had been brought to sn end and his statement tonight confirmed this et- | titude. H The President tonight gave remaining rebels one more chance to bring in their | arms and receive amnesty. | The same edict he issued earlier this { { week to apply to the midisland prov- ince, tonight was given forth for all the | island.

Upon developments tomorrow, or immediately after, the life of the MacDonald Labor government seemed tonight to depend, and also the future of efforts to lead the United Kingdom from a growing economic crisis into the greener fields of prosperity. The importance to the situation was brought home with cone siderable force to a slowly awakening British public this afternoon by the announcement from Buckingham Palace that King George was returning by special train from Balmoral, Scotland, where he arrived only yesterday for a vacation.
