...total loss have come suddenly to life. Cuba Cane products, the island's largest producer, was reorganized last February as Cuban Atlantic. Francisco Sugar's 7½ bonds (in default) have jumped from 23? on the dollar to 44? since the year end. Certificates of deposit for Camaguey's 7% bonds soared from 2½? on the dollar to 12?. Manati's preferred stock climbed from $4 per share to $10. Cuban-American, one of the island's big companies still solvent, has watched its preferred double in value...
...passive anarchy." Far from passive last week was General Menocal's onetime subordinate, Captain Juan Bias Hernandez, veteran of the abortive 1931 Menocal Revolution against Tyrant Machado. With his wide sombrero cocked jauntily, swaggering Captain Bias was fighting Government troops and recruiting fighters of his own in Camaguey province.

...Machado Government were admittedly in progress last week in Cuba's eastern provinces, but there seemed to be no coordinating leadership, no Revolution with a big R. Bands of guerrillas raided towns and military outposts, burned plantations, cut wires, dynamited railroad tracks. A bloody skirmish was fought in Camaguey province. In Oriente rebels burned 200,000,000 Ib. of sugar cane at the Manati sugar mill. At Manzanillo a mob stormed the office of Cuban Electric Co. (subsidiary of Electric Bond & Share). Four trains were derailed. Another reached Havana bullet-riddled...
