BY ALFREDO VIVAR HOFFMAN I'nitrd Press Staff CorrenDondrnt iConvrieht 1933. bv United Press' HAVANA. May 22—Echoes of seven bomb explosions brought home n the capital today the reality of a revolution being fought without quarter in the provinces. The bombs caused panic among Sunday night Havana crowds, though little damage resulted and there was no report of casualties. Two bombs exploded in the Vigoria section. Others were reported near the home of General Alberto Herrera, chief of staff of the army; at three places in the Lawton section, and at Calzada Cero and Primelles

streets in the Cerro section In a check of revolutionary actives m the Santa Clara rebellion zone Sunday found about 600 rebels camping under arms. There were reported to be 1.400 more in the Santa Clara and Camaguey areas. At, least fifty men were killed in the week's fighting, about forty of them rural guards of soldiers. Os sixteen wounded soldiers taken to Santa Clara from Santci Spiritus, eleven died. It was suspected that the rebels were using dumdum bullets. Interviews Rebel Leader After visiting Santa Clara., Trinidad. Casilda, Alfonso and Placetas, I located the headquarters of a rebel group. Interviewed Gerardo Menseses, the leader—a former court procurator. With him were three lieutenants. Menseses said he had ninety men near by, all armed with American Springfield rifles, and with plenty of ammunition. He said he was in action ten days ago and lost eleven horses. "We are in arms and will remain so until this government falls,” said Menseses. ”We maintain constant contact with other groups and we await the arrival of a supreme leader.” Menseses mentioned Sergio Carbo, a fiery conservative journalist, and Colonel Aurelio Alvarez, both now in Mexico. "We are getting arms and amunition from Mexico” he said. "They are arriving in small lots in schooners. We have a system of couriers among our groups, and we all are aware of what happens elsewhere. Smuggle Arms From Mexico “Our objective is to obtain con-1 trol of certain ports on the south j coast. We confidently expect the j arrival of an expedition from | Mexico." At Jatibonico I w'as told that: Major-General Arsenio Ortiz, the government commander, had re- j marked: “There will be vultures flying in j this section.” Ortiz was said to have hanged j seven men. Reports seemed true that 2.000 j Springfield rifles, and nearly 60.000 rounds of ammunition had been smuggled from abroad, along with other war materials. The rebels were concentrating | around the seaport of Moron. TICKET DRIVE PLANNED Industrial Pageant Campaign to Be Settled Tonight.

Miss Hutton and her parents went over the situation fairly thoroughly, it was indicated, after which she declared her marriage was far from decided, although Sunday, June 20, was said to be the date set. “I won’t admit it, and I won’t deny anything,” she said. “I haven’t definitely made up my mind—but I may be driven into marriage just to end the flood of proposing letters, and to give the public something to talk about besides my fortune. That should be heavenly.” Her father again said the family had no objection to Prince Mdivani and that they would not insist she marry an* American. Miss Hutton, heiress to a large share of the Woolworth millions, is reputed to be one of the richest young women in the world.

his spectacular record two years ago. It will be equipped, however, with an “automatic pilot” device which, as he puts it, “will give me a chance to see some of the country this time.” “I’m really going along as a passenger,” he said, “since I >n’t have much

to do with running the Winnie Mae. I'm going to take some fishing tackle along, because they tell me some of those Siberian streams are full of swell fish.” Post will hop from Floyd Bennett field and intends to make Berlin his first stop. From Berlin he will head for Novo-Sigirsk, thence to Yakutsk, on to Fairbanks, Alaska, down to Edmonton and then back to New York. He and Gatty circled the earth in 8 days 15 hours and 51 minutes.
