nations affairs, the cabinet and coun-
Gil of state suspended the national
constitution in a joint special session
at the presidential palace.
The Joint body named Jose Pedraza
military governor of Havana Province.
This was considered the equivalent OF
martial law, inasmuch as Pedraza.
whose rank is that of a lieutenant
colonel in the army, will take over
powers now in the hands of the civil
authorities. Pedraza, now chief OF
the national police, was one OF the
six sergeants who with Fulgencio Ba-
tista overthrew the De Cespedes gov
ernment September 4, 1888.
Adopt Eight Point Program.
An eight-point program was adopted
by the joint body as a substitute for
the constitution. It was not made
public.
The action puts the entire gov
ernment back on revolutionary in
stead of a constitutional basis.
A statement said among other
things all codes and laws of pro-
cedure and special laws promulgated
to date will be respected in so far as
they are not opposed to this decision
