Sanctuary

Foreign legations in Cuba have certain current expenses not on most diplomatic budgets. They must always be prepared to give board & lodging to the terrified opponents of crafty President Gerardo Machado y Morales. Last week, fortnight after pro-Machado assassins had retaliated for the murder of Speaker of the Senate Clemente Vazquez Bello with four killings, the asylums were full.

The Uruguayan Legation held Dr. Ricardo Dolz, Rector of Havana University; and Carlos Manuel de la Cruz.

The Spanish Embassy held Gabriel Garcia Menocal and Mario Miguel Menocal, relatives of onetime President Mario Garcia Menocal who headed the last anti-Machado revolution.

The Argentine Legation held Enrique Dolz. nephew of Dr. Ricardo Dolz.

The Mexican Embassy held Politicos Elisio Arguelles and Fausto Menocal.

The Colombian Legation gave sanctuary to Elisio Arguelles' sons Elisio Jr. and Fernando, and to Julio Rabell, nephew of Judge Pedro Rabell.
