HAVANA, August 14-As two
United States ships OF war
steamed into Havana Harbor to-
day to protect American property,
renewed outbursts of looting and
arson impelled the Cuban mill
tary authorities to order their
soldiers to fire on all persons vio-
lating public order.
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, the
new President, completed a cabi-
net which virtually ignored the
claims of all of the old political
parties, and the principal follow
ers of the deposed President,
Gerardo Machado, followed their
leaders example by fleeing the
island.
Two of Gen. Machado's country
estates we're sacked in celebra-
ton of the victorious revolution
which forced the general to abdi-
cate and take refuge in the
Bahamas.
Ships Have Salutary Effect.
The presence of two American war
ships in the harbor-the destroyers Tay-
lcr and ClaXton-eXercised salutary
effect, officials said, and hope was ex
pressed that the violence attending the
revolution was near its end.
The U. S. S. Sturtevant was at Man
zanillo on a similar assignment of pro-
tecting American lives and property.
These warships did not indicate inter-
vention by the United States and their
presence was approved by the new
President
In Havana hundreds of Cubans gath
cred at the decks to see the American
men-of-war. Naval officers arranged
conference with President De Cespedes
Disorders during the night resulted
in the death of one person and in
grave injury to another.
Sixty omnibuses of the Cuba Co.,
now bankrupt, we're burned by COM
pany employees who had demanded
that their S25 deposits, previously
posted to insure the honest perform
ance of their duty, be returned.
Edict Bars Parades.
A military edict barred parades and
manifestations of all kinds and pro-
hibited the carrying of weapons
The sacking and burning of houses
will be severely repreSSed, the edlct
said. 1t cautioned all citizents to re-
main in their homes after 8 pm.
Police announced that they were
ccorchiru which thew said
belonged to the ''Machado gangsters."
Thirteen of these cars were armored
and it was said that their occupants
were disguised as soldiers, sailors and
members of the police force. Others
carried banners of the ABC Society,"
one of the organizations which led the
successful fight to oust Machado.
DR.. De Cespedes himself will hold
the important portfolio of secretary OF
state in the new cabinet.
Cabinet Meeting Held.
The incoming ministers reported at
the Presidential Palace, where DR.. De
Cespedes signed DEGREES ratifying their
appointments, and then they took the
oath. The first cabinet meeting was
held without delay.
Immediately after the session the

States Ambassador Summer Welles, who
last week presented a mediation pro-
gram, the keystone of which was the
withdrawal of Gen. Machado.
Lieut.. Col Thomas N. Gimperling
American military attache. and the
commanders of the two United States
destroyers in the harbor accompanied
Mr.. Welles
Throngs gathered before the palace
applauded enthusiastically every time

ministers appeared. There was an
especially warm demonstration on the
arrival and departure of Ambassador
Welles and his party.
