Restoration of Rights Aim of
Rebel ForCes-SucceSS
Seen as Possible.
BY WILLIAM H. FORT.

By Gable to The Star.
HAVANA, Cuba. August 10 (Uncen-
sored) According to reliable informa-
ton here, success appears possible for
the revolution against the regime of
President Gerardo Machado now in
the middle of its second week.
Rebel forces have been further aug
mented by the safe arrival Of two FRI
vateers from the United States, loaded
with achievements, guns and Gn,mu-
milton. at the extreme Eastern end of
Cuba. This is considered to be of
more than ordinary Importance, as the
main fear of the TevolutioniSts has
been that they might run out Of am
munition supplies.
Strictest censorship was Immediately
clamped on all messages leaving the
island For the first TING in the his
tory of Cuba, this censorship is being
enforced by armed guards placed at
every newspaper office in Havana and
strict orders have been given 10 al ca
BILE offices that no messages, CONNER
cial or otherwise, are 70 be sent with
out being first submitted for approval
to the general army staff in the pres
=,
idential palace.
the attitude of the Cuban general
staff has changed noticeahly from one
Of cheerful optimism to one Of chagTln.
While American Ambass3 dor Harry
F. Guggenheim. according to unqueS-
tionable sources has approached
President Machado and held several
conference with his close advisers with
a view to reaching some measure OF
compromise with The opposition forces
to prevent further bloodshed, these eff
forts thus far have been unayailing.
Opposition leaders have refused fatty
to agree to any proposition that Goes
not carry with it an absolute guaranty
BY the American Government that the
proposed constitutional reforms viii be
carried out by the Havana administra-
ton.
Terms of Opposition
And the only reforms the opposition
will consider are those including re-
turn to the original constitution This
If agreed to by administration forces
would mean the end of President Ma
chados dictatorship
A return of the popular vote without
hindrance;
Organization of political parties-This
had been made Illegal by changes in
the Cuban constitution dictated by the
Machado administration
An end of legislation by decree, a reg
uiar method of lawmaking IN Cuba
since Senior M chado took office;
Reinstatement of the office of vice
president, which Senior Machado had
eliminat d.
Return Of the city CT Havana to
the status of a municipality instead Of

Regarded Rebel Victory.

That goVernms mt leaders have already
approached opposition leaders in Hs-
vana on this proposal is considered OF
extreme Importance and is looked upon
as a victory for the rebel forces. 1t is
elso interpreted to mean that Presi6en.
M7chado has bsen advised that the judi
cious thing for him to do is to bow 10
the will of the people, step aside and
allow provisional president to be APP
painted
The popularity OF the revolution has
been clearly evidenced in the firss
place. by the attitude of the people.
especially Sunday morning when Gen.

dieta. two of the most powerful rebel
leaders, We're brought to Havana aboard
a gunboat after their capture in the
Province Of Pinar dsl Rio.
CuStomarily such an event would be
the occasion fer gala celebration, for
the Latin nature is one which demands
flags. firecrackers. whistles and what
not, with thousands turning out TO
cheer On this occasion, however. the
sea wall along the MaIscon, which eE-
tends for approximately three miles
from Moro C2stle. at the entrance of the
harbor. to the Maine Monument, was
virtually deserted.
