her measures" had, on that occasion, alluded to
the numerous exactions and annoyances Of pass
ports, &c. with which the government here fstters
the intercourse between Cubans and Americans.

country b. visiting americans. Sea rcely man
leaves without buying from two hundred and fifty to
Thousand segars, also several meals, nights lodg-
ings, and an infinite number Of drinks and dlaces.
