It was learned from well in formed quarters that Ambassador Welles had reported the agree ment between various political party leaders that President Ma chado must go. It was anticipated here that the next day or two would bring an end to the controversy between President Machado and his enemies, as the long dissatisfac tion with Machado's regime ap peared to be coming swiftly to a head. Reports that high army officials had refused to break the strike were regarded in informed quar ters as significant, despite mili tary occupancy of Havana. The question asked on every hand here tonight was whether Macnaao would bow to what appeared to oe the public opinion in Cuba. If Machado does not yield to this pressure, there were predic tions in responsible circles that notwithstanding, a desire on the part of the Roosevelt administra tion to avoid intervention in Cuba, the president would not hesitate to take that step if anarchy pre vailed.
