Having chartered an amphibian
plane through the army that finally
decided he must go, and with the
approval of the leaders of his opposi-
ton. Machado and the little group OF
intimates that went with him arrived
at Gen. Machado Airport, is miles
from Havana, obtu 800 pm.
The two cars, bristling with machine
guns, in which the presidential party
and its seven or eight bodyguards
went from the presidents country
estate to the airport, passed through
the heart of the model city, Machado
built, which was his pride. Machado
introduced experimental farming to
Cuba, and his projects centered about
there.
The retiring President wore his Gus
tomary Panama suit, crash tropical hat
and the thick glasses he needs. Al
though he was smiling during the five
or six minutes he walked around and
said farewells to those who stayed be-
hind, his face was heavily lined, he
seemed years older and the ravages Of
the past two days crisis were evident.
Almost his last words before he
stepped into the plane that carried him
to political exile were the "good-by
boys" he said to his guards. The plane
was five or six minutes getting into the
air.
Machado's destination was reported
as Nassau, the Bahamas The plane
had enough gasoline for about five
hours flying and a cruising speed Of
some 95 miles an hour with top speed
above 100. No word was received Of its

their own game and use for that pur-
pose the sympathy Of the troops they
are controlling at present.
Should this unfortunate situation de-
velop, there Is a serious danger that
the American Government may have to
intervene.
It is pointed out that the American
Government, under the Platt amend
ment and the Cuban constitution, is
directly responsible for the maintenance
of law and order in Cuba, If a Cuban
government cannot maintain it.
There are in Cuba at present some
300, 900 Spanish citizens, q large Brit
ish and French colony and a substan-
tial number Of Germans and other ma
tionalitieS.
If chaotic situation develops in the
island, and foreigners are molested,
there is no doubt that their home gov
ernments will ask us either to guaran-
tee the security of the life and property
their own men of war and troops.
This would be an infringement of
the Monroe Doctrine, which the United
States could not tolerate.
Consequently, unless the new Cuban
government can restore order within a
short time, the American Government
may be compelled by the pressure of
the other powers to step in and do the
necessary police work.
The Spanish government has been
fretting for the last 10 days. The new
Spanish republican government is anx-
ious to prove to its citizens that it pro-
tects their interests wherever they may
live, and would welcome an opportunity
to send a cruiser or two to Havana.
tervening, but they, too have important
interests in Cuba, and as purely COM
mercial proposition they will have to
ask the American Government who is
going to take care of their nationals
and their property when there Is nc
adequate government in Cuba.
For the time being the administra-
ton is giving no thought to the idea OF
Intervention and hopes the situation
will be Strengthened out in Cuba within
the next few days.
The government believes that Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, the son of the
Cuban George Washington, will be able
to form sufficiently strong govern
ment to command the confidence of the
Cuban people and bring about law and
order without any further bloodshed
But should, unfortunately, the mill
tary begin to play politics and try and
jockey themselves into prominent posi-
tions with the assistance of the troops
then there Is no saying what may hap
pen and how many American troops
will be necessary to restore the situa-
ton.
