Es tanta Ia infaencia del BoLETTN
que, segun La Preasa, basto una in
discreta al par que inoportuna alusion
del BoLET1N para sacar a aquella socie-
dad eI casino de Msyaguez de la es
pecie de letargo en- que Sc hallaba su.
mergida.
Dos columnas y media de menuda
letra ocupa Justo Derecho en- describir
el bale que tuvo lugar ell 6 consecuen-
cia de haber dicho ell BoLETIN que sc
desmoronaba ell casino reformista.
Si manana SO nos antoja escribir en-
sentido avanzado Sc .vuelven cangreios
todos nuestros antagonistas. va ssbe
mos ell medic de ipfuir sobre el refor.
mismo.
Lo aprovecharemos.
