THE CUBA REVIEW 



and the course of the bag after it was 

 aboard ship has been gone over. 



According to word received October 7th 

 the bag itself went under lock and key 

 the moment it was aboard the ship. It 

 was turned over in the regular course to 

 the postal authorities when it reached this 

 city, and when it was opened it was found 

 that the bag was a package short, and 

 that was the package containing the 

 $200,000. 



Antonio Ayala, a messenger of the Na- 

 tional Bank of Cuba, was later arrested by 

 order of the special judge in charge of the 

 investigation into the disappearance of the 

 package. 



Aj-ala, it is alleged, was intrusted with 

 the envelope containing the money, which 

 he was instructed to take to the post-office 

 for registry. 



A scrutiny of photographs of the regis- 

 tered envelope received by the National 

 Park Bank shows that it was not the one 

 in which the money was placed. 



Senator Salvador Cisneros Betancourt, 

 the venerable patriot, has donated 100 ca- 

 ballerias of land in Camaguey Province 

 belonging to the estate of his family to be 

 divided in parcels and turned over to the 

 families of Cubans living abroad since the 

 days of the war and who have not been 

 able to return. 



DEATH OF BURBRIDGE 



There died in Havana on September 

 14th William Thomas Burbridge. as he 

 was known outside sporting circles. He 

 had kept away from New York for the 

 last seven years or more. When former 

 District Attorne}- William Travers Jerome 

 set himself to close the houses where play 

 was big Broadway lost Burbridge and he 

 sold out his place in New York and went 

 to Cuba. He took rich fittings and appa- 

 ratus with him and opened the Cuban 

 Club, on the Prado, in Havana. The name 

 was a misnomer, to an extent, for no Cu- 

 ban was allowed inside unless properly in- 

 troduced by an American, says the N'ezv 

 York Tribune. The native patronage was 

 not really wanted. There never was any 

 police interference. Under the law the 

 police could not send a man into the place 

 at night without a warrant. In the day- 

 time an inspector regularly visited the club, 

 but by that time all evidences of its real 

 character has vanished, and the result of 

 the call was merely a farcical interchange 

 of courtesies. 



In 1906 Burbridge bought a part of La 

 IMiranda estate from Jose Manuel Morales. 

 It was said he paid $125,000 for the 

 property-. He built a race track and the 

 Hotel Miramar, overlooking Morro Castle. 

 There was a chance for play in the hotel, 

 if one knew how to be introduced. 



A Step Towards Higher Efficiency 



When vour Engineer conies to you and says, "Boss, I want a recording gauge for 

 mv boiler," vou may look at him "with respect for he has become modernized. But, 

 hc)w near is 'your Eiigineer to making this request? And why wait for him to make 

 it? \Vhy not get busy and install a "Columbia" Recorder on your own account? It 

 means a' big step towaVds higher elTiciency in your boiler room. Why? Because 



The ''Columbia ' Recording Gauge 



furnishes a written record in the form of a chart of the 

 pressure maintained in your l)oiler for day and night. 

 This chart is a graphic story of just what is being done 

 in your boiler room. It tells whether your coal is benig 

 wasted bv showing the minimum and maximum pressure 

 carried for every minute dnring the twenty-four hours. By 

 showing the ra"te of rise or fall of pressure; when the 

 throttle was opened and closed, etc. 



Do vou think vou can afford to be without a "Colum- 

 bia?" ' For the 'cost is really insignificant. Investigate 

 Sow.
