Many bomb explosions indicated a well

Of United States Ambassador Sumner
Welles, a continuous two-year military
guard at the university was withdrawn
President Machado obtained direct
authority over the national army of
5000 and about half as many more
rural guards and national police forces.
When the attack against him progressed
beyond the verbal stage and the oppo-
sition fiared into open rebellion, the
old campaigner personally made the
rounds OF the army posts. The opposi-
ton had little chance Of victory in open
conflict.
CONSTITUTIONAL guarantees were sus-
pended Tor several periods and he rig

OF the August, 1881, rebellion and Pres

Macnaoo struggled to get the thou
sands of Cubans in various lines of
work to return to their jobs and the
Cubans, facing starvation as a result of
a tie-up Of food supplies, grimly carried
on their campaign. Employees of the
government, who had received no pay

casualties, and, finally, the firing by
soldiers on q crowd before the presi-

Even his bitterssv enemies credit Gen.
Gerardo Machado with making a strong
fight to hold the presidency Of Cuba.
He found the presidential seat a
powder key, but made drastic use Of
his military resources to prevent his
foes from setting it off, There have
been battles and bombings all around
him almost continuously since the Au-
gust, 1881. rebellion.
There have been several attempts
to assassinate him since he became
President for his first term on March
20, 1925. But an impregnable wall Of
defense was set up around his presi-
Dental palace and he was under close
guard whenever he sought change of
scenery in the country or on fish
ing trip at sea.
Gen. Machado boosted that he would
never quit Cuba, for whose independ-
ence he had fought, and declared that
he was determined to die in the land
where he lived his turbulent life. He
gained control of all political parties
and had the old constitution. be-
oueathed to Cuba by the United States,
so amended as to insure him of the
presidency until May 20, 1885.
Ran Again Despite Pledge.
Machado was elected in 1925 for a
fcur-year term and under a pledge not
to stand for reelection the Cuban Con-
gress in 1928 adopted an amendment
making the term six wears. Machado
stood for the new term He was in
control of the Popular and Conserva-
tive parties as well as his own Liberals
and, therefore, was unanimously elected.
That Machado was able to achieve
this extension of power was in no small
way due to his training and influence
as a military man. He was primarily
a soldier. He was cited for exploits Of
valor in the revolution of 1895. when as
a youth of "a, he fought under Gen.
Juan Bruno Zayas. and was promoted
gradually to the rank of briRadier gen
eral.

Helped Settle Rebellion.
When Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez be-
came President in 1908, he appointed
Machado as chief of the Cuban army.
