Batista flew here with high government leaders and mem- bers of his family early Thursday and checked into the luxurious Ambassador - hotel. Asked how such a small group of rebels could have successfully fought the Cu ban arrrly, Batista explained to newsmen Thursday: Their (the rebels) first op ponents were soldiers of the i rural guard who were not prepared for guerrilla war fare. Well Armed "When the rebels expand ed their operations and met the army in open battle they were well armed and their weapons were superior to ours." Batista said to have contin ued the civil war would have meant "great sacrifices and enormous losses of lives, and I chose to put an end to this situation, resigning the gov ernment." Asked about the future of Cuba Batista said, "I am no prophet, but the situation is very confused." He said fi nally now that he had left the country he hopes "peace and harmony will reign in Cuba among the Cubans." Batista said he was satis fied "that I conducted a good government for Cuba," and . said it reached a peak of pros perity and well being during his administration.

Here is Schuman's account of the incident. By CHARLES SCHUMAN United Press International Havana -DP)C In mid - af ternoon, vandals were pillag ing and looting in downtown Havana, and Ray Ziesse, a United Press Movietone cam eraman, and I took a cab to make the rounds and see what pictures we could get. A few blocks from our ho tel we saw a mob of possibly 200 gathered in a narrow side street off The Prado, Havana's major thoroughfare. We stopped the cab driver and walked 100 yards down the side street. Part of the mob was breaking into a store protected by shutters. They were using heavy wooden sticks and heavy metal shafts from parking meters uproot ed from the sidewalks. Start Screaming I started to shoot with the Rolliflex (a still camera) and Ray was shooting movies. Suddenly one member of the mob started screaming, "No pictures," he ran at us. He grabbed my camera and smashed it to the ground. He was tall and slim and had a mustache. He seemed semi- hysterical. About a dozen people gath ered around, and I started backing off toward The Prado. Ray was beside me. I didn't care too much ' about losing the film as long as Ray could get away with the movies he had shot. But the man who had seized my camera turned on Ray. He knocked the heavy movie camera to the ground. I kept shouting, "We're Americans." But it did not good. He picked up Ray's camera and dropped it again, smashing it a second time. By now we just wanted to set out. We didn't dare turn our backs, so we started walk ing backward, facing our as sailants. They glared, and one man shouted, but we reached The Prado and reported back to the office. Later in the afternoon when I resumed a tour of the city- without my comera - I saw police coming up the street, and the mob scattered.
