Another Blast Damages Aqueduct Near Havana

Special to The New York Times

HAVANA, Feb. 15 – Two women were injured by a bomb explosion in Vedado, a residential section, last night.

The bomb damaged five automobiles, the base of an electric light pole and a building in front of which the pole was situated. One of the injured women was Mrs. Hilda Llorente, 30 years old, who was passing in an automobile driven by her husband. The other, Amada Apesteguia, 40, was walking on the sidewalk.

Another bomb exploded at daybreak under a bridge on the Guanabacoa Highway, causing damage to one of the principal aqueduct pipes serving the small town, which is near Havana.

HAVANA, Feb. 15 (UP) – A veritable blackout on Cuban news as published abroad was imposed today.

Censors abandoned the original system of scissoring out “objectionable” items and began using instead a column-wide ink roller.
