NEARNG ELEGTIN DISQUETS CLBA Constituent Assembly Will| Be Picked in Voting September 15. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Cuba is seething with unrest again as the election for the Constituent Assembly which will elect the new President approaches. The date for the Assembly election has been fixed for September 15. | President Mendietta is at present endeavoring to bring about a fusion between his party and other conserva- tive parties in order to assure his re-election and to weaken the chances of Manuel de la Cruz. his principal | opponent for the position of chief executive of the island. U: S. Attitude Neutral. Although the American Govern- ment is maintaining a strictly neutral Vanderbilt Takes Bride attitude in the Cuban political tur- moil, rumors are already being spread | in Havana and other important cen- ters that Mendietta's new move for a fusion of political parties has the | moral support of the United States | Government. | Agitators are hard at work en-" deavoring to rouse public opinion against President Mendietta, who is| already being described as a puppet | in the hands of Jefferson Caffery, the | American Ambassador in Cuba. | The proposed combination of parties | s opposed—unofficially, for the time | being—by Cuba’s strong man, Col. Batista, the head of the Cuban Arm: Mendietta is at present on indif- | ferent terms with Batista. They work together because they cannot do otherwise. But when the threat | of a combination of parties becomes | a reality, observers who have just re- turned from Havana say that there| will be an inevitable break between the two men. Fear Old Officers’ Return. | The chief worry of Batista is that | Mendietta will rely at the next elec- | tion chiefly on the support of the| Menocal party. The heads of the army, including Batista, are former | non-commissioned officers who fear that Menocal will bring back the old ! army officers who were pushed out ! after the revolution against Machado. ' Batista is also worried that this fusion of the old guard parties will bring back to power Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, who has once been ousted from power by the non-commisioned | officers. | — Oldest Inhabitant Dies. | Elsie Oliver, oldest inhabitant of | Calvinia, South Africa, died at 115.
