FREEMAN J. ROHDE 



It is with deep regret that the publishers of 

 this magazine advise its readers of the death 

 of F. J. Rohde, which took phice on Thursday 

 April 1st, at his residence in Brooklyn. We 

 are confident that his many friends in Cuba 

 and elsewhere will read this announcement 

 with a sense of personal loss. It is not our 

 purpose to give a perfunctory accovuit of Mr. 

 Rohde's life in these columns, but rather to 

 express our very great appreciation of his 

 work in building up this publication, which 

 for many years received such untiring and 

 enthusiastic labor from its editor. To Mr. 

 Rohde's ability and experience in his voca- 

 tion and his wide knowledge of Cuban affairs, 



it is very fitting for us to express our indebted- 

 ness. The excellent results of the friendly rela- 

 tions established by Mr. Rohde with those 

 directing the many business interests and enter- 

 prises connected with the industrial and politi- 

 cal life of Cul:)a do not require comment; the 

 results are evident. We believe Mr. Rohde 

 was happy in his work; he was taken ill when 

 about to visit Cuba, and we cannot but feel 

 that to work as long as his strength permitted 

 was characteristic of his energetic tempera- 

 ment. 



Mr. Rohde had been for eleven years 

 business manager of the Review, and was 

 largely responsible for the special and valu- 

 able information that it has contained. 



On such occasions as this a multiplicity of 

 words is vain, and a wise restraint is incum- 

 Ijent on one who attempts to speak of another's 

 life. We believe good work, conscientiously 

 pei'formed, is the best memory one can leave, 

 and it is of Mr. Rohde's faithful work that 

 we desire to make appropriate expression at 

 this time. 



Los editores de Cuba Renew tienen el sen- 

 timiento de anunciar a sus lectores la defuncion 

 del Sr. F. .J. Rohde, que tuvo lugar el dia 1° de 

 Abril del com ante en su residencia en Brooklyn. 

 Estamos seguros que los muchos amigos del 

 finado en Cuba y en otras partes al leer este 

 aviso lamentaran la perdida de un amigo. 

 No es nuestro objeto hacer en esta Revista un 

 relato de la vida del Sr. Rohde, sino mas bien 

 expresar el niucho aprecio en que teniamos 

 sus esfuerzos en el desarrollo de esta publica- 

 cion, a la cual dedico durante muchos ahos su 

 trabajo laborioso 6 infatigable como editor. 

 Nada mas justo que nosotros expresemos 

 nuestra gratitud por la habilidad y experi- 

 encia del Sr. Rohde en su vocacion, asi como 

 por su vasto conocimiento en los asuntos de 

 Cuba. Los excelentes resultados de las rela- 

 ciones amistosas creadas por el Sr. Rohde
