Havana Armed For Coup.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 24, 1913:
Police Ready to Stop Liberals' March on Palace on War Anniversary.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    HAVANA, Feb. 23.— The entire police of Havana are remaining in barracks throughout the night, fully uniformed and armed, owing to orders from the Government. These precautions are due to insistent rumors that the liberals intend, after midnight, to march on the palace for the purpose of protesting to President Gomez against the conduct of the recent elections.
    To-morrow, Feb. 24, is the anniversary of Cuba's last war against Spain, and the Liberals recently voted to observe it as a day of mourning and protest against the election of Gen. Menocal.
    Supporters of the Government assert that they do not fear a coup d'état, but purpose to take every precaution.
