Rivera Caminero, Armed Forces Secretary and head of the loyalist military, was slated to be naval attache to Washington. Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó, head of the 1,400-man rebel force, was named military attaché to London; Colonel Manuel Ramón Montes Arache, Caamaño's top aide, naval attaché to Ottawa; General Juan de los Santos Céspedes, current air force chief of staff, air attaché to Israel. Twenty-two more army...
