ployees, street car men, railroad
workers. food distributors, garage ant
filling station operators, taxi drivers
and beer and ice factory workers.
Some downtown stores already have
opened and others will be opening

On Saturday 81 were killed ane
more than 200 wounded and the tota
number OF deaths In the revolution
climbed to about so.
Disorder osccurred Sunday in Santa
Clara, Camaguey, Santiago, anc
Manzanillo, as citizens sought to ex.
tirpate reminders Of the eight year
Machado regime and wreaked veng-
eance on persons and places they
connected with the deposed president
who now is in the Bahamas.
The A B c secret society suddenly
demanded political recognition and
thereby changed the basis of the cab
met selection. A decidedly opposi-
zionist government, and not a con-
centration cabinet, was consequently
produced.
Liberals Are Ignored
The liberal party, of which Mach
ado issa member. and the popular
party were not represented.
DR.. De Cespedes pronounced Sess-
pay-dess) the new president, was 81
years old Saturday. His father par
ticipated in the first revolution
against Spain in 1868. Educated in
Europe, he speaks six languages. In
1898 he was colonel of the insur-
rectionists, and afterwards became
chief Of the general staff.
From 1914 until 1922 he was the
minister to the United States. On
his return he was named secretary Of
state. In 1926 he was sent to Paris
as minister.
Machado took to political exile In
Nassau, the Bahamas, with a group
OF close friends.
MY love Is for Cuba" he said after
he arrived, tired and without baggage,
at hotel.
Police guarded the plane in which
he flew from Havana Saturday after
noon. Patrols were established about
his hotel In Nassau. Those with him
included DR.. Octavio Averhoff, form
er treasury secretary, and Eugenio
Molinet, former secretary Of agricul-
ture and labor.
Machadistas Hunted
Machadistas were relentlessly hunt
ed Sunday. It was estimated that q
score Of persons were killed In Ha-
vana. One man was killed In Santi-
ago. Two were wounded in Camaguey.
Thirty houses and business places
were sacked in Manzanillo. Three
were killed in Santa Clara.
The army took steps Monday, how
ever, to enforce law and order and
violence waned. The students insti-
tute joined other groups in urging a
return to tranquility. Students in the
closed Havana university were ex-
pected to issue an appeal for peace.
Street car men promised to return
to work at noon Monday. The United
Railways were expected to send its
first train in days into the interior
Monday morning. Other unions, 1t
was believed. would follow the lead
quickly, and bring to swift end the
paralyztng strike, which has caused
many Cubaus to 90 hungry for days.
