       Premier Says U. S. Reporters Will Get Cooperation

Special to The New York Times
HAVANA, April 10- The Cuban Government will offer the best possible cooperation to the
United States newspapermen and photographers who have arrived in Cuba to cover the present
situation, according to Premier Gonzalo Guell.

 The Minister of the Interior has been ordered to lift censorship on dispatches of newsmen, the
Premier said.

This contrasted with the action of the military authorities in Santiago de Cuba, who two days ago
detained seven United States newspaper men and photographers and asked them to leave the
country.

The Premier said a statement in English would be issued to United States reporters by the
Presidential palace publicity bureau each day at 6:30 P.M..
