III the main force of Government troops
under Colonel Betancourt enters the city.
The American commander has imposed a
strict censorship on incoming cables OF
both cable companies. He is not permitting
Doctor Ferrara, Liberal leader, who is In
New York, to communicate with the rebels,
evidently blaming him for directing the rev.
olution in Oriente province.

wooden building of the Central Union and
on President Menocars estate have also
