Cuban government matters include the deportation of two editors of Havana because of 

 their criticism of the administration. President Gomez comes out with another 

 strong letter denying his desire for a renomination. There is also an interesting in- 

 terview with a New York publication in wdiich the President gives a very optimistic 

 statement of Cuba's present condition and future development. There are interesting 

 statements regarding the removal of the Spanish war vessels destroyed by the 

 American navy and there is an account of a shooting affray between the President's 

 son and another editor who had likewise harshly criticised the government. Then 

 there is some information regarding a great canal to be dug in Matanzas Province 

 which will forever end some disastrous century old yearly inundations of a very
