HAVANA, July 29.—Loud denuncia- tions of any mediation efforts by the United States were shouted by a Ha- vana crowd of several thousand persons late today after revolutionary speeches yesterday under the new political am- nesty bill. The disorders occurred just before Sumner Welles, United States Ambas- sador, received representatives of op- posing political groups in his daily con- ference designed to conciliate differ- ences and bring governmental reforms to_the island. The crowd gathered at Colon Ceme- tery to exhume and re-inter the body of Juan M. Gonzales Rubiera, 18-year- old student who was killed by police in December, and was addressed by speakers who assailed the Machado re- gime and the activities of Ambassador Welles to restore political peace. Students Attack Policeman. Following the funeral services, several hundred students from the cemetery throng came to uptown Havana and launcned a noisy attack on Policeman Luis Roble. Roble fired over the dem- cnstrators, heads and when reserves rushed to aid him seven students were arrested. Disorders also were reported this aft- ernoon at Santa Clara, nearly 200 miles east of here, where unpaid scnool teach- ers in a protest parade were fired upon by police and soldiers. Fifteen or more persons were wounded and & number of teachers were arrested. Ruben de Leon and Rafael Escalona, ctudents who returned to Havana yes- terday by airplane following their lib- eration from the Isle of Pines Prison under the amnesty, were the most vio- lent in attacking the government and Ambassador Welles at the cemetery demonstration. “We want nothing to do with media- tion,” Escalona cried. amid cheers from the crowd. “We want revolution! A new revolution of the youth of Cuba will come to end this tyrannyl” Leon echoed these sentiments, and scenes of great confusion ensued as one shouting group after andther cried de- fiance to the regime of President Machado. Amnesty Limit Is Seen. Little news of an official nature thus _far has come tromuyt.he ;Ve‘uee g;uer- ences, but apparently well founded re- Kfl: say that the initial session Thurs- y brought agreement that further . amnesties for political offenses should i be prohibited in the revised constitu- : tion.. All agreed that the rights of indi- , viduals should be further safeguarded, it is reported, and the opposition con- sented to make assassination of the na- tion's chief executive punishable by death. Prisoners serving terms in Cuban jalls for political offenses today continued Teturning to their homes as,courts ap- ! plied the amnesty bill as fast as they could. Among those granted amnesty were 12 former soldiers and 10 other polit- ical prisoners whose homes are in Cama- guey, and Mario Cuellar, brother of Senator Ceslo Cueller, who last month shot and killed Representative Oscar %onmlvu inside the new Capitol build- g Slaying Laid to Troops. The newspaper Iiformacion printed | today charges made by Juan M. Alfonso of Camaguey to the effect that soldiers | fired without provocation on his broth- crs, Elias and Lionel, at their Camaguey Province farm Thursday, killing Elas | and seriously wounding Lionel. Reports to the Interior Department, filed by the rural guard captain at Marti, in Camaguey Province, sald that the soldiers shot the two brothers after the soldiers had been attacked by them. Alfonso came to Havana, Informacion said, to protest to Ambassador Welles- ‘The paper added that Alfonso will call at the American embassy Monday to give Welles further information, in- cluding the names of several persons he alleges have mysteriously disap- peared from the vicinity of his farm. 15 IN PARADE WOUNDED.
