El Carbon del Tio 



Liborio: Se hard como lo disponga, 

 Se le dard lo que quiera; 

 Que aumente su carbonera 

 Y devuelva a Bahia Honda. — La Lucha. 



No 

 Indemnity 

 Provided 



As a result of the dynamite 

 explosion, which occurred in 

 May last in the barracks of 

 the rural guard at Pinar del 

 Rio, many owners of houses 

 which suffered loss were indemnified. The 

 amount spent for this purpose was $7,156. 

 But a number of other property owners 

 have claimed the same assistance from the 

 Public Works Department for the repair 

 of their buildings, and it now happens that 

 this aid cannot be furnished, because the 

 act of Congress of July 22d, which modified 

 the act of June 2, 1909, provided that the 

 appropriation of $50,000, which Congress 

 voted for the reUef of the victims, should 

 be appUed only to succor actual victims 

 or survivors of the catastrophe. 



On December 13th a deed 

 Making was said to have been ex- 

 an ecuted in Havana, says La 



Exchange Lucha, whereby the twenty- 

 six and one-half caballerias 

 (one caballeria is 33V3 acres) belonging to 

 the heirs of Sehor Toca and designed to be 

 used as a coaHng station and a naval sup- 

 ply station are transferred to the Cuban 

 government. The object of the deed is to 

 facilitate a transaction between the Amer- 

 ican and Cuban governments, by which the 

 former will waive its rights to Bahia Hon- 

 da, in exchange for a larger tract of land 

 at Guantanamo. 



The Cuban cartoonist shows Uncle bam 

 adding Bahia Honda's coal to that at Guan- 

 tanamo, as illustrating the transfer.
