THE CUBA REVI EW 



FOREIGN CONSULS ACCREDITED IN CUBA. 



Senor Alfredo Labarrere, Consul of 

 Greece at Habana. 



The Consul of Greece at Havana, 

 Senor Labarere, was born in France, 

 and came to Cuba in his boyhood with 

 his family. He has passed the greater 

 part of his life in Habana, and said in 

 an interview that, like all people whose 

 existence is happy and peaceful, he has 

 no special history. Seiior Labarrere has 

 a wife, and their fa:nily of good looking 

 lads is the pride of their fond parents' 

 hearts. 



Alfredo Labarrere was appointed Con- 

 sul of Greece in Havana eleven years 

 ago, during the Spanish regime. For his 

 services to the government of Denmark 

 during the late Spanish-American war 

 he was condecorated with the Cross of 

 "Daneberg" by the King of that coun- 

 try. 



Seiior Emiliano Mazon, Consul General 

 of Guatemala at Habana. 



The representative of the Guatemalan 

 Government at Habana, Senor Emiliano 

 Mazon, was born in Havana in 1876, and 

 when only twenty-one years of age be- 

 gan his consular career as honorary 

 Consul of Venezuela. In recognition of 

 his services he was condecorated with 

 the Order of Simon Bolivar. 



When Dr. Arostegui resigned his of- 

 fice of Consul of Guatemala at Havana, 

 Seiior Mazon was appointed to fill his 

 place, first as acting consul and two 

 j^ears later, in 1907, he was promoted to 

 Consul General of Guatemala. Recent- 

 ly the governments of San Salvador and 

 Nicaragua have named him their repre- 

 sentative in Havana to transact all con- 

 sular duties relative to these Central 

 American Republics. 



Senor Emiliano Mazon was graduated 

 with high honors at the Habana Uni- 

 versity. For the past four years he has 

 been an editor of the well-known journal 

 "La Discusion," and a frequent contrib- 

 utor to the press. 



Congregationalists Will Give up Cuba. 



The Congregational Home Missionary 

 Society which assists weak churches among 

 the ordinary American population, has of 

 late years been doing a work not strictly of 

 its own type among the Spanish people of 

 Cuba, but feeling that the task was de- 

 tracting from its proper obligations within 

 the United States, the society recently voted 

 to transfer the Cuban work to the American 

 Missionary Association. The latter de- 

 clined, however, to receive the transfer on 



the ground that its own finances are in too 

 precarious a condition to endure an added 

 drain. There being "no takers," it appears 

 the Cuban work will necessarily be aban- 

 doned. — Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger. 



Rev. Ernest L. Lloyd has assumed the 

 duties as pastor of the American Methodist 

 Episcopal congregation in Havana, having 

 been recently appointed by Bishop Candler.
