Contents of This Number 



The cover page shows a group of palms which grow freely in Cuba. The scientific name 

 is Copernicia Wrightii. 



Political and Government matters of Cuba are treated on pages 7, 8 and 9. President 

 Taft's warning to Cuba and his note have had a good effect and tranquility is again 

 evident. Germany, France and England have combined to collect the sum of $6,000,000 

 due their subjects for damages incurred during the war with Spain. The Cuban 

 opinion seems to be that the Republic is not responsible. The matter will be submitted 

 to arbitration. There is much discussion over the new Reciprocity Treaty with Cuba 

 which President Taft is negotiating, and some views on the matter, both from Cuban 

 and United States sources, are given on page 8. Presidential matters naturally occupy 

 the center of the stage at present and there are plenty of candidates who aspire to 

 the office. These matters are on page 9. 



Some interesting cartoons from prominent Cuban and United States newspapers show the 

 trend of thought that has been awakeried by President Taft's letter of warning. These 

 will be found on pages 10. 11, 12 and V. The views expressed seem to point to a 

 third intervention.
