 situation and me charm of its principal attractions (Yumuri's famous valley and the wonderfxil 

 caves of Bellannar) has long enjoyed distinction as the great "Mecca" of the tourists, and it 

 continues to gain in populaiity. EXCELLENT TRAIN SERVICE is maintained to many other 

 places of great interest to tourists, all of which are fully described in "Cuba — A Winter 

 Paradise," a profusely illustrated 80-page booklet with six complete maps and 72 views illustrative

CUBA LEARNING SLOWLY 



Cuba is in a fair way to prove its right 

 to the enjoyment of self-government. Its 

 people are learning to adjust political dif- 

 ferences without the employment of rifle 

 and machete. They deserve encourage- 

 ment. Undoubtedly, the tactics of the "op- 

 position," which seems to be united only 

 in antagonism to the Government, are in- 

 teresting. Political disturbances are never 

 quelled by suppressing the facts about them. 

 Cuba from time to time is bound to be 

 conspicuous in the world's news. But we 

 see no alarming signs of danger to the 

 stability of the young republic. — New 'York

An inspector of all the operations done 

 by the Bolsa Privada (Private Stock Ex- 

 change), of Havana, has been appointed 

 by the president and will be under the au- 

 thority of the secretary of agriculture and 

 commerce. 



In answer to protests by the members 

 of the exchange the secretary showed that 

 the law clearly gives him the right to in- 

 spect all banking or commercial institu- 

 tions of any kind whatsoever. No other 

 explanation is given for the appointment.

HONORING THE MAINE S DEAD 



It is not doubted that when the ashes 

 of the "Maine" victims are brought home, 

 a patriotic nation will render all proper 

 tributes. But the home-coming should be 

 in keeping with the honors to be paid. 



A distinguished South American states- 

 man died abroad a few months ago. The 

 most superb battleship of the American 

 navy conveyed his body to his native land. 

 Will the United States do less honor to 

 the memory of the men of the "Maine"? 

 — San Diego (Cal.) Union. 



Among the visitors recently in New 

 York were Charles M. Aguirre, chief of 

 police of Havana, and his wife and son, 

 Charles, Jr. Charles is only eight, but he 

 carries engraved cards bearing his name 

 and giving his address as police head- 

 quarters. Nominally he is assistant chief of 

 police.- The two chiefs came to attend a 

 convention at Rochester, N. Y. 



The Cubans have no reason at all for 

 suspecting us of a wish to intervene, which 

 is one of the last things this country 

 wants to do. — Nezu York Globe.
