By John r. McKnight, Associated Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Sept. 25.—(A.P.)-—Sev- en Americans, mainly officials of a sugar mill closed by a general strike in that region, were in refuge to- night at the Puerto Padre Yacht Club in Chaparra, on the north coast of Oriente Province, while an American destroyer and a British freighter stood by in the bay.

An acute situation prevailed in that territory, as a dozen small towns went without light, water or rail facilities due to labor troubles which spread throughout most off the province. The strikeers cut wires of the Chaparra Light and Power Company. _

Meanwhile, Juan Bias Hernandez, veteran revolutionary leader against the former regime of Gerardo Mach- ado, came to Havana to visit Presi- dent Ramon Grau San Martin at the palace and denied recent reports that he had been up in arms against the g». ent,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—(A.P.) — President Roosevelt dangled a 700,000 tonnage order for new rails before the Steel Industry today and got a promise for competitive bids that were expected to bring the low- er prices that have been sought by the railroads.

He plans to advance the carriers $25,000,000 or more from the public works fund to buy the rails.

The deal appeared all fixed to- night for early consumption if the administration is satisfied with the bids submitted by the steel compan- ies. Personally putting the case for lower prices, Mr. Roosevelt called To the White House Myron Taylor, chairman of the Board of United States Steel Corporation; Eugene Grace, President of the Bethlehem Steel; and L._C.
