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.sferred to the )ilariel quarantine sta- tion for six days. This station is one of the finest and most edequate stations in the world, says the Havana Post. The department of public works has given permission to the Chaparra Sugar Companj- to increase its works in Cayo Juan Claro. Labor Agi- tation The strike of the tobacco selectors at W'ajay ended Jul\- 25th when the workers obtained their demands that one of their number be reinstated to a job from which he had been removed. 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 the Interior claims that the men left Cuba of their own will. The socialists want an official statement to that effect from the government and want the men re- called. The general strike of all guilds in Santiago called in protest against the new meat tax of 2.5 per cent increase exacted b)- the province ended July 34th when the cattlemen decided to give in. Dr. Torralbas was in ,the United States recently investigating the juvenile courts with the object of recommending whether or not they should be introduced in Cuba. If his report is favorable it is probable that a juvenile court will be established in Havana and possibly other cities of the republic.
