PRE-REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION NOW EXISTS IN CUBA
Havana, Cuba (JFK+50) On September 25, 1923, The Evening Star reports "a pre-revolutionary situation is now existing among the leaders of the veteran's movement" here in Cuba.
Just five days earlier, those same leaders arrest was ordered by the Alfredo Zayas* government which resulted in the "hiding out of national and provincial adherents."
Other measures of control have been put in place by the government. It is believed, the Star reports, a revolution in Cuba is possible "within a week" or "before next year's elections."
*Dr. Alfredo Zayas (1861-1934) was mayor of Havana, Vice-President of Cuba 1909-1913, President of Cuba 1921-1925. AZ was one of the leaders of the Cuban insurrection of 1895. He did not seek re-election as president.
