nection with the dismissal of James Page. an
American citizen. chief engineer of construction
on the Cienfuegos waterworks and sewerage sys-
tenn, under the Reilly contract. Mr.. Page was
recently informed of his discharge by the Secre-
tary of Public Works Senior LaEueruea. A pro
test against this action has been made by the
American Minister. Edwin D Morgan. in accord
ance with instructions from Washington. The
newspapers generally say that Mr.. Morgans entry
into the controversy is unwarrantabe interference
IN the internal affairs of Cuba.
Ell Triunfo' the organ of the administration
says that no protest has been made by the Ameri-
can Minister, who has merely requested the re
scinding of the order of discharge personal
friend Of Mr.. Page Senior Castellanos, secretary

received.
In spite of these denials and the refusal of Mt

that the American Minister personally addressed
protests against the dismissal of Mr.. Page TO the
secretaries of State and Public Works. and has
also sent by cable protest to President Gomez.

pointing Mr.. Page chief engineer on September 10.

that office until the completion of the work. and
that he was removahle only by Presidential order

complain that this is indicative Of the policy of the
