Insures Bank Deposits Military Forces Are Strengthened as Government Faces Another Serious Crisis
MOVES FOR PEACE SO FAR FRUITLESS
Opposition to Grau Government Not Conciliatory; Santiago Provisional Governor Forced Out by Rebels; Strikes Threatened As Further Menace
Havana. Sept. 26.-(AP)- Cuban military forces were strengthened today as rumors reached the government of a change in the American policy toward Cuba and of plans for another plot.
Simultaneously there were alternate reports that negotiations between opposition factions and the Ramon Grau San Martin regime had approached no closer toward a solution of problems which threatened to end the life of the two weeks old government.
A rumor not confirmed in responsible quarters was circulated that some form of custodianship for Cuba was planned by the Washington administration and created a tense atmosphere here.
Colonel Fulgencio Batista's army was increased by the addition of a civil guard and 2,000 members of the Caribbean army, a student organization.
The provincial governor at Santiago was forced by revolutionaries to resign.
Workers on the Consolidated railroad at Antilla threatened to destroy the road if demands for back wages were not met. In several places strikes continued, there was increasing industrial unrest and talk of a general strike was widespread.
These and other scattered reports gave rise to a belief in some quarters that a new revolutionary movement was being formed.
