THE CUBAN ARMY
OFFICERS DISPLACED A SERGEANT IN CONTROL. HAVANA, September 4. (Received Sept. 5, at 11 p.m.) Sergeants, corporals, and soldiers of the Cuban army, headed by Sergeant Batista, and non-commissioned officers and mien of the navy, took over command of the military and naval forces to-night, displacing all the officers. Batista said he would not relinquish control until a truly revolutionary government had been established, and then the command would be returned to the officers. The trouble arose over the proposed pay cut and dissatisfaction of the soldiers with the commanding colonels.
