denly broke into violence today and
added another grave problem to those
already facing Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes' provisional government.
Strikers insisting that shipping agen-
cies must recognize their unions as
Cuban law provides, attacked strlKe-
breakers on the United Fruit Co.'S
docks, killed Angel Zamoorza ana Sc
yerely wounded his brother.
The Office of Raphael Doniphan'
American vice president of the Havana
Harbor Association, was raided, pre-
sumably by strikers.

shoremen and other affiliated unions
have charged the United Fruit 20. ano
Doniphan are the only ones stanouis
in the way of settlement OF the strike,
claiming all other shipping companies
are willing to recognize the unions.
Ex-Police Chief Kills Self.
Brig. A. B. Ainciart, Havana's last
chief of police under President Macnaoo
and held responsible by the opposition
for many political slayings, shot ana
killed himself tonight when he was
trapped by police and soldiers.
Sought since last Saturday, Wnen
Nachado fled the country, Alnclart was
found hiding under coal stove III q
house in the Almendares sectlon ot
Havana. When ordered to give nlnseii
up. Ainciart shot himself with a plsIol.
Ainciart was all alone at the end
he who never appeared on the streeIS
unless three or four guards rode with
him and another automobile preceding
or following shielded him from danger
with machine guns, rifles and saweo-on
shotguns. -
over Havana all this week the cry
had been raised again and again: Get
Ainciart" He knew peril dogged MS
every step. So did his companions, ap.
narentIv. Some time during the nlgnt
they left him to his fate. In one iast
desperate effort for life, the graymg
oficer had dyed his hair blond.
Mediation Efforts Pressed.

Destruction of the home OF former
lieutenant Limo Lomo OF the ponce az

leaders to express fear that hatreo VI
former President Machado was Delns

mob's action in Cienfuegos.
In Santiago, where Communistlc agl-
tation against the De Cespedes govern
ment has worried local authorities, the
situation was reported quiet. Spokes-
men at largely attended meetings nave
urged recognition of the Communlst
party and complete equality Tor whites
and colored.
Rumors that the colored in Oriente
and Camaguey Provinces were up IN
arms proved false.
Only once before has the racial queS-
ton arisen in Cuba, where equality Is
well nigh taken for granted. In 1912

tempts had been made to divide polltl-

Punishment Demanded.
The popular clamor for punishment
of all persons guilty of crimes under the
Machado administration continued. To
it had been added the official voices OF
President de Cespedes, Secretary OF the
interior Laredo Bru and the army gen.
