Cubans Manifestiax - Worry Unreasonable
Disposition.
HAVANA, Sept. l6.-The Heraldo says
editorily that the behavior of the Gu
bans is absurdly contradictory. In
many parts of the island, it points out.
there is great want of labor, in spite Of
which the Cubans are crying for for
eign labor to leave the country, and in
Havana work is being improvised for
Migrants. The paper asks why they do
not go to Pinar del Rio, where laborers
are wanted.
A Spaniard from Pinar del Rio re-
Gently affirmed that his co%untrymen
were dying of hunger there because
people would not give them work. The
proposal by some persons to import
American labor caused q cry to be
raised that this would Amoricanize the
island, and that the A~nglo.Saxon race,
being absorbing and overbearing,
would leave nothing for the Cubans."
