THE CUBA REVIEW 



ALL AROUND CUBA 



MEMORIAL TABLET 



A memorial tablet to Fnrique Hernandez 

 Miyares, Oriente poet, was dedicated Aug. 

 5, at Santiago de Cuba., the city in which he 

 made his home. Literary, educational and 

 other institutions were represented at the 

 ceremonies. 



The tablet, which is a handsome marble 

 one, was placed in the former home of the 

 poet, at 9 Marina street. 



MATANZAS 



It is rumored that the Matanzas street 

 car lines are to be sold to an American Com- 

 pany, the identity of which is not disclosed. 

 The company which founded, and has oper- 

 ated, the lines to date, represents Cuban and 

 Spanish capital. 



NIPE BAY COMPANY 



The Nipe Pay Company has been autho- 

 rized to construct a stone esplanade on the 

 shores of Kipe Bay. 



CAMAGUEY 



The Mayor of Camaguey has directed a 

 petition to General Menocal for the granting 

 of a $25,000 credit for urgent municipal 

 needs. 



MARKET FOR IMITATION LEATHER 



There is comparatively little of a market in 

 Cuba for imitations of leather, principally 

 because there is practically no manufactin-ing 

 of articles in which it could be used. There is, 

 however, considerable importation of ]iro- 

 ducts in which imitation leather is used. In 

 normal times, much of this comes from Ger- 

 many, but at present, the importation is 

 nearly all from the United States. 



There are no statistics showing the im- 

 portation of imitation leather. It is not 

 probable that any market of importance 

 could be developed because there is little in- 

 centive for manufacturing articles from it.
