TOURING EASTERN CUBA
President Palma Finds Lots of
 Room For Improvement.

Greeted With Speeches and Bouquets
 at Every Stopping PIace-Enthusi-
 asm Was Greatest Where Palma's
 Popularity Was Supposed to Be at
 the Lowest Point. Puerte Principe, Cuba, Sept 15.- President Palma, after he started yes terday from Havana on his tour of eastern Cuba, traversed long stretches of sparsely inhabited country. At ev- cry town he was greeted by squadrons of mounted Cubans, received addresses from the officials and party leaders and was presented with bouquets by pretty senoritas, who made speeches of welcome. The enthusiasm when the president entered the region in which opposition to the administration was reputed to be the strongest increased.
 On President Palma's arrival at Puerte Principe last night the entire vicinity of the station was filled with cheering mass of people of all colors and conditions. Nearly the whole population followed the carriages con- taining the presidential party to the provincial building, where Senor Palma was formally welcomed.
 Commenting on the enthusiastic re- ception accorded him the president dis claimed that it was a tribute to his personal popularity. He said:
 Tt is the result of the peoples joy over the success of the republic and the tribute is rendered to me as the chief executive"
 President Palma is making no speeches, save brief responses to ad- dresses of welcome. When local speakers bring up the subject of the revolutionary soldiers pay the status of the matter is courteously and brief ly explained by the president.
