Meanwhile, the army reitented its belief In aqnick crushing of the reinforced rebel movement. Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Francis­co Tabernilla.. told newsmen at Camp Columbia that he "had no doubt" as to the' "swift putting down" of renewed revolutiolllU'Y activity. .

The army general admitted, however, that troop reinforce­ments have been rushed to the Oriente trouble area. He declined

I to disclose their number. Taber­nilla also reiterated the official version that seized documents aboard the' 'Corinthia" establish­ed that but 27 men arrived aboard 1he yacht. (The "Corinthia' 1 is 1wice the size of the yacht , 'Gramma" from which Castro landed 82 men off Niquero,' in Oriente, last November.>·

Tabernilla said that of the 27 men he claimed to have landed from the "Corinthia", but five remain at large. He ·said 16 were killed, three .( disappeared" and two were arrested.

(The reference to three: having ( , disappeared' I was assumed .to mean the three American ,crew­men who were reported W'have sailed the "Carinthia" into Nlpe Bay.) . Tabcmilla attributed the suc­cess of the new landing' to an extensive coastline which he said was difficult to !JatroJ. He said it would take far more arMed strength than available to prevent disembarkations. He pointed out. however, that Ute two landings to which the army a4mlts, that of the "Gramma" last November and the "Corinthia" last Fri(lay. were known to authorities within a matter of hours, and pursuit started.

The grndf;J ref\.lsed to disclose how many troops have been flown illto Orient-e from Havana gar­risons, or the places to which they have been sent, but he said "I can tell you that we have more than sufficient men to control and defeat the rebels."

today is on electric current. Several large department stores,

long accustomed to air condition"; ing for ,the comfort of' employees and patrons alike, did" not open their dCJ1'S. Among 'them were Sears Ruebuck, Fin de Siglo, El Encanto and others.

Small businesses were hard hit, but most man­aged to open. Owners of "bodegas" arrived at work to find, much of their stock already spoil­.Jlg in defrosted refrig­erators.

Orders were cancell ­ed. Sales were made on on hour-by-hour, day­

by-day basis as no one had refrig­eration for their purchases. Small ice plants did a booming business.

Empl,cyees arriving at intown office buildings on Tuesday morn­ing found a climb of. two, five, or eleven stories awaiting them. There was no elevator service.

Windows sealed for 'air condi­tioning. also a victim of the "knockout," were unsealed. Where this was impossible, the office' force worked in unaccustomed heat al)d humidity.

to the discomfort of the employes and clients..

Tellers at the Chase Manhatta11 Bank' on Aguiar Street fanned themselves and loosened their col­lars in the unaccustomed. heat. The air conditioning was off there too, of course.

Hotels, in a highly competitive field, felt the power' failure more than most othe'r businesses.

Some, like the Sevilla-Biltmore had full water tanks on the roof at the time of the power cut-off, At the Sevilla water lasted through Tuesday. At other hotels, however, water was quickly used 'up and later had to be carried, up to rooms in buckets.

The Inglaterra Hotel revelead late yesterday that it still had two hour's supply of water for its guests. The Inglaterra rations wa­ter, turning it on at only certain hours of the day,

Candles we l' e distributed to guests for use in their rooms. In the lobbies, all the electric clocks pointed to the fateful hour-2: 12.

Hotel restaurants which use elec­tricity for cooking were closed down or served only light snacks and sandwiches. Other hotel res­taurants which use gas and oil re­mained open. ,

Most. hotelmen admitted that . some touristsnad moved to other

hotels in Vedado or Miramar. But they added that many had stayed and were "sticking it out.'"

Casinos and night clubs - were closed-tight as a drum. The Prado entrance to the Sevilla was closed and locked. . Hard~st hit were the' hundreds

of, lodgings. boarding houses and small hotels in the J.70-odd b~ocksness. of tightly-packed Old Havana, whinh were left, without m,.,t"r or light. '

time in years families found" tl1em.. selves going to bed at 8 p.m., for lack of ligpt by which to read, sew' or talk. .

What water there was from the, cistern was kept for drinking. In many instances housewives were' forced to walk for blocks to make ' their purchases. Several neighbor: hood res.taurants closed their doors.

As late afternoon approached, offices clOsed to permit their em­ployes to get home' before dark. The supper hour was moved up in many homes to save the candles for later use.

People thronged the balconies along the narrrow streets until well after dark. Inside there was no light.

Telephone service, vital to the city's business, was badly inter­rupted and cut off completely in most of Old Havana.

In the evening most people stay­ed inside their homes. Few ven­tured into the' street. Police cars and army jeeps carrying three arm'''''1 f'rPi,...··s p"trolJ~d the streets slOWly. 'Groups of pollee stooc;l f.t e ,',:~ J lll ••• ,"" ",,,...Ull.
