island. All these predictions turned out to 

 be false. My countrymen are peaceful and 

 docile, disposed to work and improve their 

 social condition. They prefer peace to war 

 and order to revolution, and owing to this 

 patriotic spirit there is absolutely no danger 

 that they will follow the lead of anyone in- 

 tending to start a revolution against the 

 legitimate and constituted government. 



Our sanitary conditions have improved 

 wonderfully, and to-day we can say with 

 pride that we have a country as healthy as 

 any in the world. — From a recent address 

 before the Foreign Commerce Association 

 Caesar A. Barranco, Cuban Consul at 

 Baltimore. 



AGAINST THE LOTTERY 



President Menocal proves his moral cour- 

 age by asking Congress to abolish the Cuban 

 national lottery. As it brings in a consider- 

 able revenue, although of a negative kind, his 

 proposal is not Ukely to have smooth sailing. 

 That it is made in a message to Congress 

 shows that President Menocal is winning 

 support for his Administration among the 

 people. — N. Y. Sun. 



"There is talk again of Cuba wanting a 

 loan in the near future, but her plans will not 

 prove successful in this country so long as 

 the Cuban Ports scandal continues." — 

 London Observer. 



Lo de Mexico. 

 Caera o no Caera. — La Lucha.
