Havana Quiet After Faction Gun Fight.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 26, 1912:
Two Dead, Many Hurt, in Last Night's Battle Between Liberals and Conservatives.
BOTH SIDES ACCUSE POLICE
Government Also Charged with Bias in Presidential Campaign — Impartiality at Election Demanded.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    HAVANA, Oct. 25.— The total results of last night's rioting were fifteen seriously wounded, of whom ten received bullet wounds, two having since died, while the injuries of the rest were bruises inflicted by canes and stones.
    There is no foundation for reports that women were shot. The rioting did not last over fifteen minutes.
    The Government had been forewarned of the likelihood of trouble and stationed rural guards where they could be called upon in case the police were unable to cope with the situation. The rurals put down the trouble almost instantly.
    The rioting predicted to-day did not develop. Two or three unimportant clashes occurred this afternoon, one between medical students, when two were injured.
    Reports that President Gomez was considering his resignation are viewed as ridiculous. The Government is confident that the disorders will not be repeated.
    Owing to charges that Charles Aguirre, Chief of of Police of Havana, was partisan and favored the liberals, Secretary Sanguily of the State Department and Acting Secretary of the Government, has appointed Lieut. Col. Pujol Supervisor of the Havana police. The latter is a disciplined officer, who commanded the respect and confidence of both the Wood and Magroon governments, an well as the Palma and Gomez administrations.
