Our new City Governor, Senor Navascufs is busy with
his plans of police other reforms. He has wide
eld practise His predecessor is said to have be-
immensely rich from the proceeds oi bis Office An
idea Of how he made his fortune here may be had nom
illustration in the Don Juninro, one os our comic pa
pers which late functionary is represented con-
tempating the bay of Havana and exclaimng, "What
pity cannot pave the bay slso in fact, the present n
cnmpeut says there is nothing for him TO do nor will
there be for another contract TO improve the city
for The next years This is severe hit but sup
pose the Ex-Governor very little for what is said oi
him. | am TOLD that Senior Navascues is very eniight
ened, intelligent and rened man, very upright in his
conduct and principles, and promises TO be OF substantial
benefit a rclsrner.
The night before last Captain General nlce dropped
uo the racon very quietly and unexpectedly and sat out
three of la rraviaia." Madame Charlton sang the
,o. OF Vioctta admirably, and opinions OF her
ability The General, however, occupied with
the pretty faces in the boxes than with Tie
performance on the stage. He was in eth

The Captain General has issued order 10 the various
Governors throughout the Island nstructng them TO see
i that every child shall attend school unless
physically ipcapactated. As slight offset TO tnis ex
ceent measure may Dention that the same authority
has suppressed the Rciso yfnyaaerG fHayana Review

which had received the sanction OF the publc censor as

permission has been refused to publish speeches OF
the late Senor de Ia luz, who dcd last summer one %
the most learned men Cuba has ever boosted the friend
OF bnmbodt and esteemed wherever known The reason
alleged the refusal was not that there we've OBJ
ieconabe words in The speeches, but that the ideas
offer any remarks upon poli,y which may be termed
