with estimated world stock of l.2O0.-

decidedly encouraging. Increased de-

with the secretary of state with the
purpose of obtaining his reinstatement.

MENOCAL REVEALS

Cuban Leader Also Denies

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, February 13.-Gen.
Mario G. Menocal, leader of the Cuban
revolutionary junta in Miami, yester-
day dispelled by simple means the re-
port that has persisted here and in
Cuba that his son Raoul was at the
head of an army gathering in Eastern
Cuba against the regime Of President
Gerardo Machado.
Here he is,' Menocal, former Presi-
dent Of Cuba, stated to newspaper men
as he escorted Raou1 to the porch OF
their residence here. Does this look
like he was the general of a rebel army
in tn field?"
The two Menocals explained that
Raoul, like his brother Mario. jr.
(Mayito), had been absent from Miami
on business, but that he had been in
the United States.
There continued, however. reports
that Mayito Menocal was with a body
Of revolutionaries In Santa Clara Prov
ince, Cuba, and that he left here se-
cretly by airplane last week to join
them. The elder Menocal has consist
emily denied this
Gen. Menocal expressed amazement
ct statement by DR.. Lucilo de la
Pena from Tampa today that more
than 500 armed men there in Miami
and in Key West are ready to go at
moments notice on a revolutionary
expedition to Cuba
1T Is my firm conviction that If our
people in the United States-I refer
to political refugees-had been armed
I would know of it and I have no
knowledge Of such a thing" he said.
Commenting upon the statement Of
De La Pena that Carlos Mendieta ap-
peared likely as provisional President
Of Cuba, should the Machado regime
be overthrown, Menoca1 said:
THAT is merely a matter Of opinion.
There has been no decision among op-
position leaders as man to offer the
Cuban people for their next president. r"

BEEF DURING DEPRESSION
Price Now Cheaper Than Horse
Meat, Which They Are Fed
During Normal Times.

The depression has worked to the
advantage of the krge cat animals at
National Geological rsrk, and instead
of horse meat they are being fed the
more choicy and juicy flesh of beef.
DR.. Alexander Wetmore, assistant
secretary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, disclosed this dietary change dur
ing recent hearings on the 1884 District
budget before the House Subcommittee
on Appropriations.
In previous years, he said, the large
cats had been fed horse meat, which
was killed especially for the Zoo, but
this year the price of beef is lower than
horse meat, SO it was found to be more
economical to change the menu.
I'VE are getting beef, which is really
better for the animals" DR.. Wetmore
declared, "at figure slightly less than
we have previously paid for horse meat"
