THE CUBA REVIEW

El Disco del Tio. "Oxcndo la voz del amo." — La Politica Coinica.

There are three records of Uncle Sam which have been used on the phonograph. One of the 



first intervention (primera) ; another of the second intervention (segnnda), and very recently 



the warning of Uncle Sam through Secretary Knox. 



Just after Congress convened January 

 17th, Chairman Sulzer, of the Foreign 

 Affairs Committee of the House, issued 

 a statement in which he declared that 

 American intervention in Cuba is not 

 needed at this time. There is, says the 

 Hutchinson (Kans.) Gazette's Washington 

 despatch, a marked sentiment in Congress 

 if the United States is forced to take a 

 hand in Cuban affairs for tlie third time 

 that annexation of the troublesome re- 

 public is the best course to pursue. 



There seems to be very little douI)t in 

 army circles, says the Philadelphia Times, 

 that before the year is out, unless very 

 radical changes take place in the meantime, 

 we shall be sending troops to Cuba. 



The Cuban Supreme Court on February 

 23d decided that the law passed last De- 

 cember, suspending the operation of the 

 civil service law, and also the presidential 

 decree, directing the enforcement of the 

 same, are unconstitutional. This will have 

 a serious effect on the movement begun 

 by the Veterans' Association, as well as 

 far-reaching results, involving manj' com- 

 plications and apparently entailing the rein- 

 statement of hundreds of officeholders 

 ousted in consequence of charges by the 

 veterans, and the dismissal of those ap- 

 pointed in their places. 



The Carthage (Mo.) Press wants to 

 know, "what became of that threatened 

 Svar' with Cuba? Haven't seen much 

 about it in the papers lately." 



El caballo liberal. Asbert. Debajo de la albarda le pongo el guisaso Como cl cttiiio lo monte, no 



da un paso. 



Vice-President Zavas expects to ride to the office of President of Cuba on the Liberal Party horse. Gov- 

 ernor Asbert, however, who is also in line for the office, is seen placing a burr under the saddle, with 

 what effect, when Dr. Zayas mounts the animal, may be imagined.
