THE CUBA R E \- I E W 



To Guard 

 Against 

 Cholera 



C\iba is taking precautions 

 against the advent of chol- 

 era on its shores and the 

 government has informed 

 all foreign shipping that 

 no vessels with cholera aboard will be al- 

 lowed to enter any of the ports of Cuba. 

 All ships are instructed that if any case 

 of cholera or suspected cholera developes 

 on their way to Cuba they should con- 

 tinue to the harbor of Mariel, where every 

 facility will be given for the treatment of 

 the disease and the disinfecting of the 

 vessel. These orders to shipping were 

 transmitted through the Cuban consuls all 

 -over the world. 



Dr. Casuso of the sanitation board re- 

 commended the establishing of a special 

 laboratory for each of the important ports 

 of the island so that the blood of suspects 

 could be immediately examined, thus 

 avoiding unnecessary- delay to ships. 



President Gomez issued a decree July 

 22d requiring all passengers arriving in 

 Cuba from Italian ports to be immediately 

 tran.sf erred to the ]ilariel quarantine sta-

A meeting to protest against the de- 

 portation of two alleged anarchist leaders 

 was held recenth- in Havana under the 

 auspices of the Socialist Club, when more 

 than two hundred affiliated members were 

 present. Telegrams of adhesion were re- 

 ceived from about thirty socialist and labor 

 clubs of the island. The Department of

 of their own will. The socialists want 

 an official statement to that effect from 

 the government and want the men re- 

 called.

 Havana and possibly other cities of the 

 republic.
