A HAVEN IS FOUND AT LAST
Negroes PInlng Tor Social Equality Hay NoW
60 to Cuba and Obtain II

When Uncle Sam interfered in
Cuban affairs and won for the Gubans
their freedom, he had no idea, per-
haps, that he was providing an ely
SUM for the eullud gemmin Of the
United States whose heart bleeds for
socia! equality-Whose jungle eye
looks with envy upon his superior
Caucasian brother.
The following press dispatch, how
ever, seems to tell that Uncle Sam
when he whipped the Spaniards open
ed the gates Of earthly heaven to the
black man:
Havana, Jan. ga strong race
feeling has been engendered by the
trouble which arose last night at the
Hotel Plaza, an American house, over
the refusal Of the bartender to serve
drinks to two negro congressman.
This resulted in a riot, which, while
no one was seriously injured made it
necessary to call out the police re-
serves. Today the clerk of the hotel
was arraigned in the eorrectionaGe
court and fined SIS. An enormous
crowd Of negroes, including a strong
representation Of the Veterans AS
ISOLATION, attended the court session
and demanded exemplary punishment
on account of the insult to the color
ed race. Senior Mureau Ell Gorda,
president Of the Senate and negro
leader, conducted the prosecution and
insisted upon the extreme penalty,
a fine Of $1,000 and six months
Imprisonment. The decision of the
court to inflict a minor penalty vas
greeted with strong expressions Of
disapproyal. After the adjournment
of court the two negro congressman
heading a procession Of 40 negroes
marched to the hotel crying viva
Maceo, Viva LIE Patria."
They entered the bar and demand
ed drinks which were served with M
further protest.
The incident has caused much ex-
citement and there are grave fears
OF a serious race clash. Many Cubans
are sympathizing with the attitude
Of the American hotel man
agement and tonight strong guard
has been thrown around the place.
I'll Trausco, a government organ, pub
lished a bitter editorial declaring that
all the black and whites in Cuba are
upon a plane Of absolute equality and
that the American must be taught BY
the srtong arm Of the law that they
stall not be permitted to introduce
into Cuba any anti-negro sentiments
prevailing in the United States.
