HAVANA. Jan. 8.-President Palma :
message vetoing the lottery bill was
read I'm the senate yesterday. The

He adds that Senator Moru. who

general consideration Of the harm that
would be done 10 society by a lottery
establishment.
The administration senator's wanted to
discuss the message. but Senior San
gully opposed such action on the
ground that the message had been sent
purposely to surprise the senate, the
President knowing that there were not
sixteen members available 4 pass the
bill over his veto.
He spoke sarcasticaIly of the message.
and declared that Senior Palma in the

The Mexican cotton boil weevil, the

threatens within few years to totally
destroy the cotton crop of the United

consideration of Congress.
