...Saturday night the Junta reluctantly met to elect a Provisional President. Soon after midnight it settled on Commissioner Grau San Martin. At noon next day, all in white, he stepped out on the second floor balcony of the Palace. With him was his only important non-Junta supporter, Miguel Mariano Gomez, head of the Marianista faction. Absent was the entire diplomatic corps. President Grau San Martin swore a simple oath "to comply with all parts of the revolutionary program already decided upon and to respect all interests already established." But this show was no great success. Only...
With the old Machado regime dead as carrion, sharp-eyed old politicos began floating home out of exile. First three to arrive and line up their former supporters were Colonel Carlos Mendieta, bearded ex-President Mario Garcia Menocal, leader of the Conservative party, and former Mayor Miguel Mariano Gomez of Havana. Colonel Mendieta is elderly. General Menocal and Dr. Gomez have many a stench to live down from their previous political careers, are regarded with small enthusiasm by young Cubans. But President de Cespedes' ability to handle his fractious island is still an unknown quantity...
...Madrid where, three years ago, Major Ramon Franco (''The Spanish Lindbergh") led a dramatic but abortive revolt by 500 Spanish aviation officers and enlisted men. One of Major Franco's followers was Lieut. Joaquin Collar. Last week at Tablada Airdrome, near Seville, Lieut. Collar and Captain Mariano Barberan, bald-pated air hero of the Moroccan war, climbed into a long-snouted Breguet biplane named Cuatro Vientos. Lumbering beneath an enormous fuel load (1,400 gal.) the plane took more than a half-mile run to get off. In an hour it was over the ocean...
...just," my dear director "be just"-don't attack only the actual Cuban government and publish all those horrors, that I assure you are augmented, as you have augmented the age of dear Miguel Mariano Gomez, making him a warrior of the '95 war! (Then he must have been-if he existed-a feeding baby!) By that scale you may see the augmentation of all this. Tropical temperament is very appassionate and in both ways they do politics with ardour. Do you know that actual oppositionists to government use to blow off with bombs concealed in automobiles...
...Cuba. It, of all the opposition groups, has a program that consists of more than fighting Machado and hoping to fill its own pockets. Other opposition leaders beside ex-President Menocal are Colonel Carlos Mendieta. highly esteemed but generally considered too old for the job; and former Mayor Miguel Mariano Gomez of Havana, a genial politico. All these men are Hombres del '95 and the A. B. C. is heartily sick of its revolutionary ancestors. It is a youth movement, largely Fascist in ideas. It believes in breaking up the vast U. S. controlled plantations, establishing a real national...
