CUBAN RETURNS
 ARE VERY SLOW

Havana, Nov. 2 = Work of can wasting the vote of yesterdays presi- dential election moved very slowly last night and it seems probable that if the rate of counting the ballots main tained last night is continued the re- suit of the presidential election in the United States today may be known here before CubanS learn the name of their next president.
 Returns from only III of the 3,o02 precincts in Cuba had been received by the Central Electoral Board up till the time it closed shortly before mid night. At that time pr. Alfredo Zayas coalition candidate, was leading Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez. standard bearer of the liberal party by 6S2 votes. The tabulation as announced by~th elec- toral board gave Zayas 11,034 and Gomez 10,352.
 There was a feeling of intense re- lief when deSpatches from all parts of the island indicated that the day had passed without serious outbreaks The number of persons killed around the polling places was no greater than expected.

VIOLENCE SWEEPS
 OVER IRELAND. 12 PERSONS DEAD

Dublin, Nov. 2-The burial of Terence MacSwiney has been followed by a wave of violence in Ireland in which about 12 persons including half a dozen policemen and soldiers, were killed and many villages were shot up or partially burned by the auxiliary police in reprisa1 attacks.
 Reprisals were made by the Black and Tan po1iced espite. the discipli- nary measures already taken by Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ireland, to stamp out this form of violence. Among the communities that have suffered in this latest out burst are Tralee, West Tra1ee. Abbey Dorney. Lixaw. LiStowel1l, Ba1lyduff Thurles, Tullamore and Dungannon.
 British officials declare the police were under great provocation. In ad- dition to the policemen and soldiers killed, ten others were wounded. Some were shot openly; others were shot down from ambush on lonely country roads.
 Sim Fein officials declared they were compiling documentary evidence of what they characterize as the wan ton cruelty of the Black and Tan po- lice. They charge that the Black and them selves by their behavior.
 The warfare betwen tn Irish Rpub- licans on one side and the soldiers and Black and Tan police on the other shifting Ireland rapidly towards chaos. In another year the country threatens to become a heap of ashes unless peace is made. The factories are disappearing day by day. The people are faced with starvation or emigration.
