A Tune Cuba Doesn't Like.

Judge Alum of one Of Havana's cor
rectional courts fined the management
of the Abisu theater $50 a few days
ago for violating the ordinance against
the playing of the Marcia de Cadiz''
CCadiz March'). There is a peculiar
but reasonable prejudice in Cuba
against this Spanish march. 1t was to
that tune, in the days when Spain
ruled the island, that the Cuban pa
triots marched to their execution. So
when the independent government was
established six years ago a ban was
placed on the march, and it has been
seldom heard since then. Senor Valdes,
manager of the Albsu theater, ex-
planned that the large Spanish element
in the house demanded the playing Of
the "Cadiz March" and he complied to
avoid trouble.
