El Diario de la Marina, the oldest and 

 most important daily in the island, com- 

 menting May 19 on rumors coming from 

 the United States of a prompt third in- 

 tervention in the island's affairs, says 

 they undoubtedly were started by per-

 should come without sufficient cause, as 

 it insists would be the case just now, 

 things would by no means move on as 

 smoothly as during previous interven- 

 tions, for soldiers and civilians would be 

 kept busily engaged in unpleasant little 

 errands, the former out in the woods and 

 the latter in the towns.

 were to trust Mr. Root's fraternal policy

"We shall have a lottery because such 

 is the wish of the majority of the people 

 and because the lottery forms part of 

 the political program of the Liberal 

 coalition, which to-day governs, admin- 

 isters and directs the destinies of Cuba." 

 — La Lucha. 



Uncle Sam might use that seven mil- 

 lions in playing the Cuban lottery and 

 getting it back in that way. — La Lucha.
