instant al Puerto Rican tobacco will be
rrohihited entry into Cuba. Heretofore
,be greater part Of the Puerto Rican to-
bscco was shipped to Cuba and there

clined here within the last few days.

In most cases. two letters suffice; one
making application. the other expressing

Sometimes. more correspondence is neces-
earv for the reason that those proposing

ties accept only when they come through
tho Embassy. These rules. says General
Porter. apply TO all foreign students

CAS- for the School Of Mines. he con-
ffnues. foreigners can be admitted there
either as foreign pupils, in which cas- e
they have 10 stand an examination, or as
