Cuba is making trouble for US again.
The veterans Of the war for Independence
insist upon the government turning out
every man who was Identified with the
old Spanish regime and making that
many places for them. President Gomez
has yielded several points to the vet
erans and even suspended tire civil serv-

like Oliver Twist. asking for more. They
are now trying to draw the Cuban army
and militia into the imbroglio and set
up virtually a military government.
