Contents of This Number 



The cover illustration is of a natural monument in the Isle of Pines. 



Political and government affairs are discussed on pages 7 to 13. 



The President's message, on page 7, is a very valuable and optimistic document and 

 will be read with interest. There have been changes in the Cabinet, and there are 

 activities in the various public departments of the Island, which will be found 

 chronicled on these pages. 



On page 14 are some interesting illustrations of havoc caused by the recent storm. 



Pages 15, 16 and 17 are devoted to the Island's railroad reports and earnings, the 

 condition of the Island's treasury and other matters of financial interest. 



A paragraph on the immense iron ore deposits of Cuba, together with an illustration 

 of the steam drill at work at the Daquiri mines, in Oriente Province, are on page 18. 



Pages 20 and 21 contain a most interesting analysis of Cuban conditions as they are 

 to-day, written by the Rev. Albion W. Knight, Episcopal Bishop of Cuba. 



Isle of Pines matters are described on page 24. 



A noteworthy article on the "Status of Foreigners in Cuba," written by a well- 

 known lawyer of Havana, will interest Americans. 



Tobacco industry matters, with a brief recital of the damages caused by the recent 

 storm, are on page 28. 



On pages 27 and 30 will be found some very valuable Cuban agricultural station notes, 

 giving the results of experiments with tropical fruits and vegetables since 1904. 



The Sugar article, by Willett & Gray, in Spanish and in English, with some very 

 important data from foreign journals on sugar-cane planting, also in Spanish, 

 will be found on the succeeding pages. 



MANY BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.
