HAVANA, July 29-Loud denuncia-
tions of any mediation efforts by the
United States were shouted by q Ha-
vana crowd of several thousand persons
late today after revolutionary speeches
from two students who returned here
yesterday under the new political am
nesty bill.
The disorders occurred just before
Sumner Welles, United States Ambas-
sador, received representatives Of op-
posing political groups in his daily con-
ference designed to conciliate differ
ences and bring governmental reforms
to the island.
The crowd gathered at Colon Gene
terry to exhume and re-inter the BODY
Of Juan NJ Gonzales Rubiera, 18-year-
old student who was killed by police
in December, and was addressed by
speakers who assailed the Machado re-
gtme and the activities of Ambassador
Welles to restore political peace.
Students Attack Policeman.
Following the funeral services. several
hundred students from the cemetery
throng came to uptown Havana and
Launched a noisy attack on Policeman
Luis Roble. Roble fired over the dem
cnstrators, heads and when reserves
rushed to aid hun seven students were
arrested
Disorders also were reported this aft
ernoon at Santa Clara, nearly 200 miles
east of here, where unpaid scnool teach
ers In a protest parade were hred upon
by police and soldiers. Fifteen or more
persons were wounded and a number OF
teachers were arrested.
Ruben de Leon and Rafael Escalona,
students Who returned to Havana yes
terday by airplane following their lib
Grafton from the Isle of Pines Prison
under the amnesty, were the most vlo-
lent in attacking the government and
Ambassador WelleS at the cemetery
demonstration.
I'VE want nothing to do with media
tion," Escalona cried. amid cheers from
the crowd. I'VE want revolution! A
new revolution Of the youth OF Cuba
will come to end this tyranny!'
Leon echoed these sentiments, and
scenes of great confusion ensued as one
shouting group after another cried de-
hance to the regime Of President
Machado.
Amnesty Almlt IS Sccu.
Little news of an official nature thus
far has come from the Welles confer
ences, but apparently well founded re-
ports say that the initial session Thurs
day brought agreement that further
amnesties for political onenses snoulo
!, be prohibited in the revised const1tu-
/, ton.
All agreed that the rights OF indi-
viduals should be further safeguarded,
1t is reported, and the opposition con-
sented to make assassination OF the ma
tions chief executive punishable by
death.
Prisoners serving terms in Cuban jails
for political offenses today continued
returning to their homes as courts ap-
piled the amnesty bill as fast as they
could.
Among those granted amnesty were
IL former soldiers and 10 otner pont-
ical prisoners whose homes are In Cana
euey. and Mario Cuellar, brother OF
Senator Ceslo Cueller, who last month
shot and killed Representative Oscar
Montalvo inside the new Capitol build
ing.
