CUBANS LOOK TO 'NEW DEAL' AFTER REVOLT

Eye-Witness Gives Account of Dramatic Last Fight by Machado Forces. (Continued From Page Onei avengers, repaying murder with murder, seeking to exact direct penanty for the killing of brothers, fa- 1 thers. sons. The men they hunt in many in- i stances were assissins serving prison terms when Machado released them to turn on his political enemies. Wh°n I stood in front of the United Press offices a week ago today and saw Jubliant. peaceable, un- j armed people celebrating a premature report of Machado's fall, and when later I saw them shot down coldly by polic. I become convinced there was little chance for Machado. Mourning the twenty-one dead in that massacre, the Cuban people then pres'-nted a united front against him. The army, which supported Machado for eight years, sensed national feeling had turned definitely against him, andn told him to his face he had to go Hung on Until Last Blinded by obvious facts, Machado hung on. dickering with American Ambasasdor Sumner Welles, hoping even to the last that he might put his follower General Alberto Herrera in his place. On Saturday the populace, for four years oppressed by the police and the Porristas, heard the news of liberation and lost all restraint. A huge crowd swept into the presidential palace From the street I hear dthe sound of breaking furniture and the crash of glass as pictures were ripped from walls. The police offered no resistance and the saekers streamed out with foodstuffs, trophies, books, silverware, tablecloths, picture frames, dishes, bnc a brae, and even piano keyes as souvenirs. Some trampled the gardens, leading down to the bay, uprooting flowers, ripping little palm trees apart Secret Police Chief Killed The streets filled rapidly as news spread. Fortunaately the cases, in observance of the general strike, were closed. Little aalcoholic intoxication was apparent. It was a type of intoxication much more complete than that produced by alcohol. I saw the killing of Colonel Antonio Jiminez, chief of Machado's dreaded Porra. on the Prado. He was the first Porrista to die and it was the signal for a hunt through the city for his men. Just after Machado fell. Jiminre? left police headquarters. The crowd spotted him He drew his gun and opened fire A soldier killed him. The crowd mangled his corpse and dragged it through the street. The slayers was lifted up to shoulders like a football hero and carried at the head of p cheering mob. Later the crowd looted and burned the plant of El Heraldo, the newspaper owner by Machado’s secretary of state, Orestes Ferrara. Furniture, ash registers, linotypes and files were broken and scattered in the streets. The crowd impeded the firemen who put out the fire Barker Shop Sacked Then I saw the sacking of the shop of Machado's barber between the Plaza hotel and the American Club It started when a man from the crowd walked up and broke the plat glass window with a buldgeon. He was joined by others, a mob formed and everything was smashed. Police and soldiers, realizing the significance of the people's explosive emotions, made no effort to halt by force their depredations. Under Machado they frequently shot into the crowds
