Members of the opposition to thel present administration favor the even- | tual succession to the presidency of Manuel De Cespedes, one of Cubs'z‘ best known diplomats, who served as Minister to the United States from 1914 to 1922 and subsequently as secretary of state. He is a son of the leader whe | launched Cuba’s 10-year war for free- dom in 1868 and subsequently became the President of the first revolutionary government. Th~ counter-proposal of the Machado government came at a time when the general strike which has held Cuba in its grip for days was fast approaching | & full-fledged revolutionary movement. In Havana this morning there was | an instance of violence. A street car filled with policemen was bombed and seven men were injured, one perhaps fatally. | At many points in the interior--such | as Ciego, Holguin, Trinidad and Santa | Clara—public feeling was at the boiling | point and the beginning of revolu- | tionary activity was considered almost inevitable unless the problem of the | presidency was immediately solved. ‘ Telephone Wires Cut. Between 300 and 500 armed and | mounted men were reported to have as sembled near Ciego. For the time being they remained peaceful In Santa Clara Province telephone wires were cut, but no important lines ‘were affected, | The government meanwhile continued | to contend officially that the strike was nearing a solution, but the Central Strike | Committee in Havana roported that | delegates from all unions were deter- mined not to stop the movement im- medintely. The diplomatic corps discussed re- ports that the minister from Panama, Antonio Burgos, had made a sp?e(‘h‘ to a private group of Cuban represen- tatives in which he condemned the general attitude of the United States | as unwarranted, Cosme De La Torriente, conservative, and former Cuban envoy at Washing- ton, issued a statement saying that ac- ceptance of the government's counter- | proposal rested entirely with Ambassa- dor Welles, in whom the opposition re- posed entire confidence. The popular party immediately ac- cepted the counter-proposal, and the conservatives took it under considera- tion. i Meanwhile, interior cities r(-por'.cd‘ the food shortage was fast becoming | acute. Most Stores Stay Closed. Among the towns reporting that the problem of food was becoming acute were Santiago, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara and Camague; Havana was better provisioned, but the government recognized the dang-r of possible looting by distributing 10,000 rations at four distribution stations. There was some slight activity in the foodstuff market this morning, but al- most all stores remained closed The army remained on duty in Ha- vana for the third day. but President | Machado, who on Monday decreed a state of war throughout the country, said there is no “special purpose or significance” in it, “being only a matter of routine.” The food shortage meanwhile be- came more stringent. Soldiers helped ' distribute certain commodities to pitals. The Interior Departmer nounced it would feed the hungry four stations. Prices of food sky- rocketed. SPECIAL NOTICES.

BY RALPH MCG".L HAVANA, Cuba (By Airmail). — America’'s embassy here is near the water front on the Avenue of the Mis- sions I saw Ambassador Sumner Welles in the beautiful old building where on Monday was concluded a historical meeting at which it was agreed by | political leaders that President Ger- | ardo Machado, feared and hated as a tyrant by 90 per cent of Cuba's popu- lation, and followed as a mxsguldedl and libeled patriot by the other 10 per cent, must resign “What was the situation in Cuba when you came in the Spring?” I asked. “You know of the killings on the both sides?” he asked. “I found thn(‘ situation. Undoubtedly many of the reports going out of Havana from news agencies were exaggerated, per- haps 50 per cent. But there was terror open revolution. Actually there were but a few revolutionists in the field and they were in the mountainous section under control. Students Being Used. “The students of the University of | avana were being used by the op- position. It was unfortunate. The students were all young men. They have been given the liberties usually enjoyed by students in Latin coun- tries. They are given too much promi- considered “It is unpleasant to think that the young men of today who will be the leaders of Cuba within the next 15 years were getting the idea that the way to change government was by | bombs and_assassination “The A. B. C. secret society I found | to be composed, for the most part, of | sincere patriots. The A. B. C. was_the real force of the opposition. Then | there were the political leaders of the opposition, many of them in exile. “It was necessary to get all these | factions together with the government leaders,” he said. “This I was able to do after a time.” “What about President Machado?” | T asked. Few Patriots About Him. Welles answered readily. “I believe that he was a sincere man,” he said. | “But I know that about him there were a few, only a few, who were sincere SUGAR AGREEMENT SCORED AT HEARING Cuban Interests’ Spokesman Says Turmoil Is Due to Economic Distress. By the Associated Press. Pointing to “turmoil in Cuba” and attributing it largely to economic dis- | tress, Thomas L. Chadbourne of New York today denounced the proposed sugar marketing agreement as unwork- | able and opposed to President Rosevelt's | principle of trade promotion and good will in Latin America. Chadbourne, representing Cuban | | sugar interests at the hearings, made it | clear his principal objection to the agreement drafted under the agricul- | tural adjustment act was that the quota | proposed for Cuba was too low. He said it would react unfortunately especially on Cuba and adversely af- fect American relations in Latin America. Cause of Turmoil. “Turmoil reigns in Cuba,” Chadbourne said. “We know that fundamentally it is based on economic distress enduring through six awful years. President | Roosevelt had no hand in creating that distress. He inherited the Cuban dif- | ficulties from his Republican predeces- sor and he favors ameliorating their condition by securing, if our national | Legislature will grant it, an increased preferential in our sugar duty.” “Most of our previous meetings have been before the Tariff Commission and Ways and Means Committee of the House or the Senate Finance Commit- tee,” Chadbourne said, “in an undigni- fled scramble—on the part of the do- mestic industry—for a higher tariff, the | benefits of which were supposed to go, but never did go, to the American farmer and laborer. “Scheme Against Cuba.” “The first noteworthy difference be- tween those meetings and this one is that all the former were openly and avowedly attempts to make Cuba’s lot in the American sugar scheme more | difficult, while this conference, under the guise of governmental invitation to participate in its deliberations, bids fair | to _make Cuba’s sILuBtlon not alone difficult, but impossible.” Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, ap- | pearing in support of beet sugar grow- ers, argued against closing the door to future development in the domestic production. The Wyoming Senator said he had aided in writing the agri- culture relief law which, he believed, embodied the principles of President Roosevelt for aiding domestic‘agricul- ture. o s O’BRIEN NOMINATED Formally Made Candidate for Re- election in New York.

The others were not serving Cuba. When the opposition, hastened by the depression, grew to serious pro- portions, Machado listened to much bad advice and was led to measures which he originally would not have con- sidered.” About Welles' office there were a row of chairs. There were at least 20 of them. It is there that the repre- sentatives of the warring factions have met each day for a month, working out_constitutional amendments. “The opposition sits there,” ‘Welles, pointing to his left. ernment sits there,” pointing to his right. “When we first began they glared at each other. They would not speak except through me. Yesterday one of the opposition went out with his arm around the shoulder of a gov- ernment man. ‘Thus’ he said, turn- ing to me, ‘we can get together when our country is at stake.” “‘So you see,” said Welles, getting somewhere. much to do. Would Be Worst Move. I asked him about intervention and he unhesitatingly said. “it would be the worst move possible from the stand- point of the United States. It is time said “The gov- “we are But there is still we bettered our standing in Latin coun- ['b tries.” Welles has seen the results of in- tervention in other Latin countries. “What if all mediation fails? Does it l;xe&n intervention?” I asked. “I am not permitting myself to thi about it failing,” he sa%d }"1 am lhmh;]f ing about completing it.” And s0 T left him, preparing to meet his mediation group. And as I left I silently lifted my hat. There is a man. There is nothing of the politician about him, nothing that smacks of bigotry, nothing of condescension toward a small nation. nothing which an intelli- gent American need regret. His han- dling of the situation thus far has stamped him one of the United States’ great diplomats. It was a privilege to meet two of the leaders of the university students. None can deny them sincerity, earnestness and devotion. They have been willing to die for their cause. Some of them have. One of them took off his shirt and showed scars on his back, mementos of 20 months in prison. He charged that at one time at the prison on the Isle of Pines the criminals had been armed with clubs and set on the politi- cal prisoners. His wound, he said, hae been caused by a dagger. These two young men, both 23 years but earnestly of bombs being made when some of their members were shot in cold blood by volice. They told of the “ley de fuga™ killings. been shot while his feet were tied. In another a student had been shot while he prayed for his lif The “ley de fuga” which means “law of flight,” had been claimed by the police. But I am convinced that the stu- dents have been given too much con- sideration. ‘Their university is politi- cally controlled, it could have opened, but its faculty, in awe of the students, refused. In Mediation Meetings. It was only last week that the fac- ulty at last showed some initiative and | entered the mediation meetings despite protests from the students. “I regard the opening of the schools as paramount,” Sumner Welles told them. Cuba’s is to be changed. I was taken to see several business men. In one office, housed in a large | building. one of the finest in Cuba, and one which compares favorably with |any in our own country, I met a man who directs a business which grosses university system We talked. I mentioned Machado. | He took down an English dictionary | flioped through the pages, put a fin- ger_on the word “monster.” i He said never a word about M&-l This was no man to be influ- enced by hearsay. He was a college | graduate, a successful manager of a great business. He told me, in speaking of the cor- ruption in government, that he at times was ashamed of being a Cuban. ‘The magnificent capitol in Cuba, cost- ing about 25 millions of dollars; the Central highway, were all, they say, let at a fifty-fifty agreement between contractors and the government offi- cials. Responsible men say this. Government officlals indignantly deny it. claiming that the Machado govern- ment actually gave Cuba something where other governments had appro- priated money and never produced anything. The national lottery comes frequent- ly into the conversation. “The lottery must go.” said one of the business men. “Not that it is wrong per se. But it is too powerful a weapon. It brings on graft and misuse of funds.” The lottery is controlled by the gov- ernment. And thousands of the tick- ets are given to congresemen as a con- cession. The congressmen then option ' out the tickets. They get them free. The ticket seller disposes of them for 15 cents the “piece” and there are 50 pieces to each ticket. He gets a cut. The congressman gets a bigger cut. The lottery isn’t essentially an evil. But it is as handled. The congress- | man with lottery tickets controls thou- sands of votes. And much of the money paid for the tickets is not re- paid in prizes. But aside from that there is no fraud in the lottery. The winning ticket gets more than $30,000 each Sunday. The second ticket gets more than $5,000. S0 on. The A. B. C., I wellld say, is the finest influence in Cuba, with its in- sistence on a parliamentary form of government for its volatile people. The A. B. C, with its insistence that Cuba be governed by one who has “no com- pllcny with the past,” is the real hope of Cuba. It and Sumner Welles may bring the nation through.

He charged police cursed, threatened his lif2 and finally. ordered him liber- ated after hurried communications were sent to New York and Washington and to Ambassador Sumner Welles here by other newspaper men.

Oliver said that when he was arrested he was making a picture in a restricted area of a poligeman halting an automo- ile. “Three other policemen, armed with rifles, ran to where 1 was standing,” Oliver said. “One of them pointed a rifie at my head and I was marched to the police station. There they read me the new military law and then con- flacl:ted my equipment and my creden- tials.

By the Associated Press. MIAMLI, Fla., August 11.—A plea that the United States spare Cuba the in- dignity of intervention in its political affairs has been addressed to the Ameri- can people by Gen. Mario G. Menocal, former President of the island republic and opponent of the Machado regime. Branding Machado a “de facto” Presi- dent, Gen. Menocal issued a statement from his home last night declaring, “it would constitute a terrible irony if Cuba should pay with its honor for the fall of the despicable man whom she' 50 solemnly repudiates.” The statement was formulated after | a lengthy conference with other exiled | Cuban leaders hastily summoned to the Menocal home after advices from Cuba | that the Liberal party had denounced the mediation program of Ambassador Welles of the United States. The general charged the proximity of intervention was “maliciously provoked | by the Machado dictatorship notwith- standing tHe efforts and good will of American Abassador Sumner Welles.” He Indicated he was hopeful some move on the part of island leaders might result in overthrow of the Machado government and end any need for the landing of American military forces in_Cuba. Declaring “Machado is not Cub Gen. Menocal urged that the island’s independence be not ‘“wounded” to “free her from the tyrant” nor her| flag “eclipsed” to bring to an end “"Machado’s bloody regime.” TENNESSEE VALLEY BODY DIVIDES ITS FUNCTIONS By the Associated Press. ‘Work of the Tennessee Valley Author- | ity in developing the huge project along | the Tennessce River and its tributaries | has been divided among the three mem- | bers of the board to expedite preliminary | action.

The scale to be paid bricklayers is $1.50 an hour or $12 for an eight-hour day. The bricklayers claim thcy were paid 85 for an eight-hour da; To File Protest. David Wiener, attorney for the con- cern, said the bricklayers wculd be paid, but a protest would be filed in connection with the payment of the, 35-cent common labor scale so as to protect any rights the company might have when they seek to have this scale reduced. Payments to common labor will be made at 35 cents an hour without protest for work done after Wednesday, when the Commissioners announced the scale. The protest will apply only to work done previous to that day. Mr. Wiener, at a hearing before the Commissioners today, produced a con- tract between the concern and Beccio | Bros. & Di Nardo, brick subcontractors, on which the latter agreed to set IUI brick for the school at $8.75 per thou- | sand bricks. The existence of this con- tract previously had been denied by Michael Beccio, who said there was| no such firm as Beccio Bros. & Di Nardo, and members of the so-called concern were, in reality, employes of the Catalano Co. Pay Held Paramount. The Commissioners decided, however, the dispute between Catalano and Beccio Bros. was of no moment, so long as the bricklayers were paid the correct scale, which Catalano undertook to do. It was also decided no money owed the Catalano concern would be held up by the District and no further action would be taken in the dispute unless, when the two weeks elapse, it turned out the bricklayers and laborers had not | been paid.
