 follows: 



Article Thirteenth: The Judges of the First Instance, pursuant to Article Twenty- 

 eighth of the Law, shall proceed to collect the compensation by the special proceeding known as 

 the "Apremio" when said obligation to pay the compensation is imposed upon the emoloyer; 

 when said ol)ligation is imposed upon an insurance company, once the judgment is given and 

 without waiting until the appeal is decided, they shall cite to appear before them, the represen- 

 tative of the company who resides in the locality, so that within a period of thirty-six hours 

 it (the company) shall pay into court the amount of the award. If no representative of the 

 company can be found, the company shall be cited by means of a written notice, and if its 

 place of business is unknown and it has no representative in the locality, it shall be cited 

 by publication. After three days have passed without the money having been paid into 

 court, the judges shall officially communicate with the Secretary of Agriculture, Commerce 

 and Labor and request that he remit the amount of the award. 



Arlicle Fourteenth: For the purpose of complying with this Law and pursuant to the 

 powers which Article Forty thereof confers U])on the Executive to fix the conditions to which 

 insurance comi)anies should conform, it is established: 



(rr) The accident insurance companies, as soon as they have entered into a contract of this 

 kind, shall give written notice to the Municipal Judge of the locality in which the work or 

 enterprise is being carried on, also to the Judge of the First Instance who is the sup'erior of said 

 Municipal Judge, of the name and domicile of some person resident in that locality, to whom 

 all notices must be given on behalf of the company in any proceeding in either of said courts, 

 which, however, shall be without jirejudice to the company's right to a])pear in the proceeding 

 in accordance with our Laws. When the com])anies have not complied with said provisions, the 

 judges shall serve the notices, citations and summons by posting in the cotu't rooms of said 

 courts and trilnmals. 



(6) The insurance companies which are engaged both in other kinds of insurance business 

 and accident insurance, shall keep such other business entirely apart from their accident insur- 

 ance business; 



(c) Said insurance companies, by the mere fact of having entered into a contract in Cuba, 

 shall be imderstood to have expressly suljmitted themselves to the jurisdiction of our tribtmals 

 and courts, and it shall be deemed that they iiave expressly accepted all our laws and regulations 

 with reference to accidents arising in the course of employment; 



id) Likewise they shall permit the inspectors and agents of the office of the Secretar}' of 

 Agriculture, Commerce and Labor to examine their certificates of incorporation, by-laws, and to 

 investigate the manner in which the capital and reserve fund has been employed, to examine
