Political and Government matters 



Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban Min- 

 ister, has purchased the property at 1750 

 Massachusetts avenue northwest, Washing- 

 ton, which he will occupy, with his family, 

 in the near future. While the exact price 

 of the property is not made public, it isr 

 understood to be about $30,000. He deliv- 

 ered an energetic opinion on Cuba's future 

 in Washington recently, speaking as fol- 

 lows. We quote from the Washington 

 Post: "It has been learned since the trouble 

 in Cuba began that the forces opposing 

 President Palma did not intend originally 

 to overturn the government, and that they 

 merely sought to drive the President out 

 of the countr}^ But the movement gained 

 such headway that a revolution actually did 

 occur, with the result that this country is 

 now straightening out onr affairs. Order 

 has been restored, the government has been 

 ably administered, and when the elections 

 are held and the island is given another 

 trial at running its own government, I think 

 it will not fail. 



Gen. Jose iNIiguel Gomez wants to in- 

 stitute many reforms for Cuba, among 

 which are the following: 



Government expenses should be re- 

 duced. 



Immigration by families should be pro- 

 moted. 



Complete independence for the judicial 

 power. 



Civil employees secured in their office 

 during good behavior. 



The education of illiterate adults, and 

 for that purpose to establish night and 

 Sunday schools. 



He says further that "the re-established 

 republic will not fall again. The law will 

 be respected and upheld with an iron hand.

 sor at the Havana University, and Senator 

 Sanguily. Gen. Orestes Ferrera is secre-
