THE CUBA REVIEW 



VIEWS OF CUBAN CARTOONISTS. 



PROBLEMA URGENTE. 

 El Pueblo: — Mi buen amigo ; es precise que 

 vea con el Congreso como me abren esa puerta. 



AN URGENT PROBLEM. 

 In the laborer's basket are coffee and cocoa. 

 In the bundle, lumber; on the gateway in the 

 wall are the words "Foreign Markets — Tariflfs." 

 The man is saying to President Gomez, "My 

 good friend, it is necessary to consult with Con- 

 gress as to how to best open this door for me." 



THE IRON HAND. 



On the tablet is the word "Law," on the 

 book "Cuban Constitution." The fish dangling 

 from the mailed hand indicates President Gomez, 

 who is very fond of fishing. The representative 

 of the Cuban people says : "We do not want iron 

 hands here. We only asked to be governed 

 according to the Law and the Constitution." 



LA MANO DE HIERRO. 

 El Pueblo. — 'Aqui ■, no queremos manos 



de 



hierro ; solo pedimos que se gobierne con la Ley 

 y la Constitucion. 



The public believes that 

 Matters. real fusion is still far off. 

 Fusion Meetings of the committee 

 appointed for the purpose 

 continue, but nothing- much is accomplished. 

 As indicating that harmony is not entirely 

 prevalent a recent dispatch said that Santa 

 Clara provincial adherents of Vice-Presi- 

 dent Zayas wrote their leader recently re- 

 fusing to unite with the Miguelistas and 

 proclaimed themselves independent. 



Meetings continue in various parts of the. 

 island in the hope of settling the differences, 

 largely concerned v/ith the proper distribu- 

 tion of offices. 



i':i, L'l/riMo ciei-ox. 



Libor'iO. Pongale csta tranca al bohio cubano 

 y riase de ciclon americano. 



THE LAST AMERICAN CYCLONE. 

 On the plank which props the Cuban hut are 

 the words "Good Government." The sound advice 

 to the president by the representation of the 

 Cuban people is "Place this plank against the 

 hut and you can laugh at the cyclone." 



Ilie Reilly concession to lay 



The tracks in the streets of Cien- 



Cicnfuegos fucgos for the Cienfuegos, 



Trolley Palmira, Cruces and Mani- 



Concession. caragua Railroad Coinpany, 



has again met with opposition 



from the city council, which on September 



17 adopted resolutions denying the authority 



to the railroad commission, which had given 



the company any right to construct the 



work, and ordering the removal of all 



tracks already laid. 



At present Contractor Reilly and the rep- 

 resentative of a Canadian company, which 

 also claims having received a franchise, are 

 fighting in the courts. 



Ortelio Foys, Cuban S'ecre- 

 Immigration tary of Agriculture, Industry 

 Plans. and Commerce, has addressed 

 a circular to all plantation 

 owners, asking for information _ concerning 

 the number and families of immigrants they 

 could find use for on their sugar plantations, 

 also data describing the character of the 

 labor required of the immigrants and the 

 wages paid. 



This is in furtherance of the government 

 scheme long promised to supply the sugar 

 estates with the necessary labor usually 

 insufficient for harvesting the sugar crop. 



In a suit by Raja Yoga, based on an 

 article in La Opinion, the Cuban Court 

 sentenced the former editor, Senor Angel 

 Morales, to pay $400 fine. Raja Yoga 

 considered himself wronged in the ar- 

 ticle, which referred to the treatment 

 given to Cuban children at Point Loma 

 Academy, California.
