The Xew" Cuban Army 



The world will look with interest upon 

 the work of a new Cuban army, photographs 

 of which are shown on this page. It has 

 only been organized a year, and its present 

 strength is 3,300 enlisted men and 174 of- 

 ficers. Pi ivates receive a salary of tw-enty- 

 one dollars a month. The army has its 

 headquarters in Camp Columbia. Foreign 

 experts are watching the Cuban troops 

 with deep intrest. — Leslie's Weekly.

Too Many Deer 



Deer seem to like the young and tender 

 shoots of orange trees. In young groves 

 they quite often strip the trees near the 

 woods fo persistently that many of the 

 trees die. Every grove owner has con- 

 siderable trouble from this cause. I know 

 of one instance where a grove has had 

 to be abaridoned because of the damage 

 done by the deer. In many other cases 

 the ravages caused by deer have caused 

 almost hopeless panic. The success of the 

 citrus tree industry in Cuba demands the 

 sacrifice of the animals in all localities 

 w'here the fruit business is becoming estab- 

 lished. In such places all laws for their 

 protection should be abolished and if 

 necessary a bounty offered for deer-skins. 



The citrus fruit crop, being short all 

 around this year, will probably result in 

 good prices for the growers. However, 

 the local demand here is so good that it 

 is doubtful if any oranges will go north 

 from this locality. — La Gloria Correspond-
