pace OF sergeant, TeWuIUeu Us
head OF Cuba'S military forces
until December, 1889, 1Uhen he
resigned from the army to run
for President and 1UdS elected.
p, tht Associated Press.
HAVANA, Feb. 4.-President Full
gencio Batista told the Cuban army,
navy and police forces toGay that he
had arrested their chiefs to suppress
a seditious plot.
Authorities declared that the
group conspired to overthrow Presi-
dent Batista and that he had feared
for his own safety.
Because of the serious charges and
the internal crisis involved in the
asserted plot, President Batista sus-
pended constitutional guarantees for
IS days.
He spoke to the armed forces at
Camp Columbia.
In his address. which was broad
cast, President Batista said the con-
spirators conferred with officers OF
the police force, the army and the
navy, ordering them to choose be-
tween them and the President to
determine who should have control
of the country.
Forced to Sign Document.
The officers consulted, President
Batista asserted. were compelled TO
sign a document which friends later
conveyed to him. He added that
he had destroyed it.
The army and the navy, which
means Cuba's WarShips and not
the men alone, he said, are ready
for any eventuality.
President Batista said he was the
voice of the people" He declared
that the attitude of the leaders
of the armed forces had forced
me to suppress this seditious move
ment."
Those arrested were Col. Jose
Pedraza, army chief since Decem-
Der s, 1899, and national police chief
since Saturday, and 1t. Col. Angela
Gonzalez, navy chief. Col Pedraza
became head of the army when
President Batista resigned the post
to run for the presidency.
In explaining the series of acts
whicn led him to arrest their chiefs,
President BatiSta guaranteed the
safety of the men and observed
that if roles had been reversed and
he had been arrested himself he
would probably have been aSsassi-
mated by the seditious leaders.
Authorities said there was no Nazl
or Communist complexion to the
alleged plot.
Climax Yesterday.
President Batista said the climax
of the situation he faced came yes
terday when Col. Pedraza sent an
aide to him asking for an interview
He considered this showed lack
of respect for the presidents au-
thority
The President also declared that
Col. Bernardo Garcia, whom he re-
moved as police chief last week, dis
obeyed his orders and was usually
in Miami, Fla. or Varadero when
President Batista wished to see him
at the palace.
Havana has been allowed to be-
come a gambling center and numer-
Gus crimes have been committed
with no real police effort to arrest
the criminals, President Batista
said, because the police were afraid
they might be acting against their
chief.
President Batista was applauded
by the troops, particularly when he
declared the new army commander,
Col. Manuel Lopez Mogoya, named
by President Batista after he him.

Several of the persons injured

The boiler and cab of the loco

carriage, hurled so feet into the air,
and thrown upside down on an
empty railway express car Before
landing the boiler and cab arched
over the locomotive Immediately
behind.
George F. Dodge, an executive of
the company, said there is no
question but that the water was
low in the boiler of the engine,
and added that this probably caused
the explosion.
Blast Victims in Daze.
Fireman Ray Shaf1er, member of
the first fire department rescue
squad reaching the scene, said I'VE
found people wandering around over
a whole square block, so dazed they
didn't know what they we're doing.
We just put them in ambulances
and automobiles and sent them to
hospitals
Several of the dazed victims asked
the firemen. what's happened
around here?"
Force of the blast blew windows
and bricks from the Western Flat
erite Roofing Co. plant. 25 feet from
the tracks, and swung parked auto
mobiles out of position.
Some members of a loading crew
working on track so feet away
were injured.
Explosion Described.
Frank Hobbs, an employe of the
roofing company, described the eX-
plosion as IAN earthquake and a
powder plant explosion rolled into
one"
About four of us were in the
office, joking and kidding before
going to work" Mr.. Hobbs said.
"All of a sudden a terrific explosion
knocked me backward. Some of
the furniture flew around in the
room and the walls seemed to jump.
1T was about 10 minutes before
we could even see anything because
of the dust and smoke and steam.
The explosion just seemed to knock
YOU backwards. Several men fell
to their knees.
when we could see, we ran out
side. Cars were blown around the
street. I was so dazed I couldn't
even remember seeing any OF the
injured people"
Train Heading for Yards.
The train was heading southwark
from the Denver Union Station to
the D. g. r. G. w. Burnham yards.
The engine that exploded was one
of the largest used by the railroad.
1t still had steam up after complet-
ing its run in from Salt Lake City.
Behind the large locomotive was
another locomotive, two railway ex-
press cars and two empty passenger
cars.
After landing atop the first rail-
way express car, the locomotive
boiler slid to the ground. One train
man was reported to have been
hurled from the second locomotive
cab by the force of the explosion.
