LA LEY DEL EMBUDO.

Lo que ocurre en- la gran me-
tr6poli americana del Norte, con
todo el cacareo de sus leyes Y de
su estrieto cumplimiento, no ocu-
rre en- ninguna parte del mundo.
Pero Sc nota entire este pueblo
y sus panegiristas un gran fend-
memo. Cualquier disparate de los
que Sc cometen en- aquel pals es
celebrado como un prodigio. 81
10 que ha sucedido d un amigo
nuestro Y d otros en- ell puerto de
Nueva- Y ork recientemente, hui
biese acontecido en- Espaila, habria
que taparse los oidos para no
escuchar las quejas, reclamaciones
Y denuestos que sobrevendrian a
millares.
Ell 4 del corriente lego al refe
rido puerto ell vapor City Of
Puebta, procedente de la Habana.
En- ell pasaje figuraba un amigo
nuestro, correligionario Y prople-
tario, ainda mois, en- esta isla.
Preparabase todo ell mundo d
desembarcar; aguijados unos por
la curiosidad de admirar la gran
diosa poblacion que sc extendia a
sus ojos; cansados otros de la
Iarga navegaci6n; avidos aquellos
de presenciar la celebration del
aniyersario de la Independent
cia norte americana que para ma
yor dicha aquel dia Sc yerificaba
Pero ioh chased estupendo
Oh fragilidad de los ealculos hu-
manos!
--Esta prohibido el desembar-
que, dfcese d los pasajeros. Hay
que sufrir dos dias de cuarentena.
--Pero, senior sen que pals es-
tamos? contesta un clamor gene
raj. ii este es una precaucion
sanitaria, hay que tener presente
que todos estamos buenos, rolllzos
' oreados de sobra; hay que tener
presente que el buque yiene en-
regIa, con su patente mas hmpia
que la misma limpieza......
Hasta aqui NADIA tiene ell asunto
de particular. En- cuestiones dc

ell mundo civilizado, fue que en- ell
momento mismo de haber fon-
deado el vapor City Of Puebta
vio asombrado ell pasaje como 81
captain v un Official de a bordo,
usando al parecer de un privilegio
que a aquel no Sc lie concedia, de
un priyilegio que nosotros, los
atraSados espanoles, no concebi-
mos, desembarcaban tranquila-
nente, y tranquilamente pisaban
terra firme en- la babilonica ciu-
dad de Nueva- York.
81 ell prohibir d los pasajeros

sanitaria ia que esa exception
absurda con ell captain y ell Official
del City Of Puebiae -

son de diferente masa que las

En- Espana, en- todo el orbe, te-
nemos aprendido que las leyes
higienicas son iguales & inhexibles
para todos; que cuando Sc impone
cuarentena d un barco no Sc hace
exception de personas; que mien-
tras no Sc da entfada d un buque,
no desembarca nj el hilo del sol.
En- los Estados Unidos, en- el
emporio de la ilustraci6n, del
progreso, de la igualdad, acontcce
10 que acabamos de relatar, y todo
el mundo Sc queda tan fresco.
Y 81 d cualquiera de los NAL
tratados pasajeros Sc lie antoja
poner el grito en- ell cielo ante
tamana atrocidad, como hizo ell
amigo nuestro llegado al puerto
lie Nueva-Y York en- el Puebia, no
faltaran cuatro 8 cinco calmosos
yankees que lie contesten con la
mayor hema:
-iOh! iEsto es una ley, y
hay que respetarla!
-Pues 81 este es una ley, y
esta ley nay que respetarla, repli-
lara ell perjudicado, como replied
con muchisima raz6n ell. amigo
nuestro, esta fuera de duda que

des precauciones sanitarias: ha manda-
do que Sc establezcan las cuarentenas
