VIVID NEWSREEL
CUBAN REVOLT IN PICTURF United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. August 23. A sensational newsreel of the Havana revolution, filmed at the risk of the photographers’ lives, is being exhibited in London. It shows the revolutionaries scaling a ladder to assassinate the Dominican Consul, who is standing on the balcony brandishing a dagger, and vainly attempting to dislodge the ladder, which the howling mob on the ground hold in position. The revolutionaries reach the victim and stab him to death. Other scenes include frenzied mobs burning, sacking, shooting and stabbing. A close-up shows the bullet-riddled corpse of the Chief of the Secret Police.
