Cuban Government Matters 



Resignation of American Minister 

 to Cuba 



Boaz W. Long, Minister to Cuba since 

 1919, has tendered his resignation to Presi- 

 dent Harding to take effect at once. 



Mr. Long has been in the United States 

 several months, having left Cuba soon after 

 Major General Enoch H. Crowder went 

 to the island as the personal representative 

 of President Harding. At the State De- 

 partment it was said that Mr. Long would 

 engage in business in Central America. 



Mr. Long has been in the diplomatic 

 service several years. He entered the State 

 Department as chief of the Bureau of 

 Latin American Affairs. 



U. S. Fleet at Guantanamo 



With Admiral Hilary P. Jones, U. S. N., 

 in command, the Atlantic Fleet is assembled 

 in Guantanamo harbor, prepared to start the 

 maneuvers that have been held in these 

 waters annually since 1903. Tactical in- 

 struction, target practice ashore and afloat 

 and athletic development of the men form 

 the schedule for the intensive training pro- 

 gram. 



Admiral Jones is aboard the U. S. S. Co- 

 lumbia, commanded by Captain J. K. 

 Taussig. Vice-Admiral John D. McDon- 

 ald, in command of the battleship force, is 

 on the flagship Wyoming. The Arkansas, 

 the Delaware and the North Dakota are 

 there, as are a great fleet of auxiliaries. 



tenders and ships of the train. Eighteen 

 destroyers have joined the fleet from 

 Charleston, S. C, with the Black Hawk as 

 tender. 



For target and torpedo practice and fleet 

 movements the ships will later go westward 

 to the Gulf of Guacanavabo. This harbor 

 is isolated and of great depth, presenting 

 every facility for the exercises. 



There will be a great deal of tactical in- 

 struction aboard the flagship throughout the 

 stay in Guantanamo Bay. Deck space will 

 be set aside for working out many prob- 

 lems with small, movable models, the dem- 

 onstrations being accompanied by lectures. 

 Tactical exercises thus illustrated will later 

 be carried out by the ships themselves. 

 Ships' target practice and practice on the 

 big range ashore are also on the program, 

 as are shore exercises and tactical move- 

 ments by marine corps detachments. 



A program of sports will be carried out 

 by the men.
