BY Radio to The Star.
HAVANA, August 12-The still in
creasing roar, as write. Of public jubi-
lation at the abrupt withdrawal Of
President Gerardo Machado, carries a
note of rising vengeance, of ready mLb
spirit which may be the cause of more
serious excesses than those already wit
messed.
The people are little concerned over
who will be the next President so long
as he is not a Machado henchman.
Their only thought was to throw out
the tyrant who held the power of life
and death over them for eight years.
They have succeeded. but one of Ma
chados last acts in Office was to appoint
his stanch follower, War Secretary Al
bert Herrera, secretary of state, and
thus Herrera automatically became Pro-
visional President when Machado re-
signed.
I have seen the most amazing Of VIC
tory parades at the conclusion Of week
of silent war so dramatically and SEN
sationally won in manner that took
all but the army heads by surprise.
Not until late yesterday evening were
the old hands among the local press
correspondents convinced that anything
had happened except an army move
ment which gave Machado the oppor-
tunity for another overaWlng stroke.
The people in the streets who saw SOL
diers rushing by in trucks and machine
guns planted at the palace with charac-
teristic turbulence refused to believe
that the army which Machado has used
to hold Cubans by the throat had taken
the old bull by the horns.
"Too Good to Be True"
No military concordat ever served a
more surprising third degree to It's VIC
tim than when the officers so long
loyal to Machado left the former Presi-
dent stripped of his last supporter. II

think the army's movement was de-
signed to place any specific man at the
head of the government.
The mad orgy tnat followed Ma
chados abandonment OF Office drove all
those close to his government into
hiding
Time after time during the day the
menacing cry issued from thousands of
throats: Get Machado! Let's get Ma
chado!"

The furniture, clothing, fixtures and

into the streets and shattered to pieces
or distributed. So far as could be
learned no member of either family
was at home when the looting occurred.
Unconlrmed reports circulated that
the homes of many other government
adherents also were sacked by the
mobs, crazed with their power.
FamiIy's Whereabouts Unknown.
After several hours OF uncertainty as
to the late presidents whereabouts, it
was learned early this evening that he
had left the island at $50 pm. aboard
an amphibian plane for Nassau, the
Bahamas.
Fleeing into exile after having been
repudiated by the army and most of
the political factions in the state, Ma
chado escaped from the island in his
plane, which took off from the Gen.
Machado Airport, about Is miles from
the capital, while the excited populace
of Havana was indulging in violent
celebration of his going.
Where the ex-president's family were

The detailed story of what happened
last night after the army turned against

President Roosevelt returned to
Washington last night full of con-
fidence that Cuba is progressing
toward stability but determined to
search out all possible ways of re-
lieving the island republics eco
nomic distress.
Some observers in the Capital
last night were quick to term the
change in government on the
island a victory for Roosevelt
diplomacy, as the administration S
official representative on the scene,
Ambassador Sumner Welles, has
presented the request of island
factions that President Gerardo
Machado withdraw.
The Presidents general satisfac-
ton with the history making
events in Havana, eliminating in
the retirement of Machado, was
made known by Mr.. Roosevelt
himself as he hurried back to the
Capital by motor through the Vir-
ginia mountains.
Data Readily Available.
His expression was based on bare
reports relayed by telephone from the
State Department.. but on arriving at
the White House the President was
quick to avail himself of fuller infor-
nation.
This was readily available as Secre-
tary Hull and his aides had held hourly
conversations with Ambassador Welles
by telephone to Havana throughout the
day.
The choice Of Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes as provisional President to sue
ceeo Machado was we'll received in
Washington, where he is we'll known
having represented his country here
from 1914 to 1922.
There was no apparent disposition
on the part Of Secretary Hull to take
sides in efforts at reorganizat ton of the
Cuban government, however. or to gloat
over the success of Welles' activities.
The administration has maintained
has merely been a helpful neighbor
assisting Cuba in finding a solution for
its political problems in its own way
Hull Cancels Vacation.
1t was learned Secretary Hull has
plunged into study of measures for
the relief of Cuba's economic troubles
He Cancelled a vacation he had planned
for next week and announced he would
remain in Washington to lend hand
in the drive to relieve starvation con-
ditions in the southern republic.
The Secretary said yesterday that the
American Cuban policy has choked
Cuba's commerce. and that steps will
be taken to remedy this situation. Work
will be hastened on the proposed recip-
rocal trade agreement to stimulate
American trade with the island.
Cuba also will be assisted by the
United States in reorganiZing its In
ternal and external debts on more
satisfactory basis and the adminlstra-
ton is determined to give Cuban sugar
more favorable treatment in the Unitec
States market.
Negotiations Progress.
President Roosevelt, as well as Sec
retary Hull, is deeply interested in plans
for the readjustment of Cuban land
holdings and other social reforms which
will strengthen the new regime.
Considerable progress had been made
on negotiations for new reciprocal
tariff agreement before Ambassador
Welles undertook mediation in the
Cuban political troubles. His time then
became so fully consumed by confer
ences with leaders of the various fac
tions in Cuba that he was compelled tC
abandon the tariff negotiations tenn
