Cuban Artists Sad Fate.

sculptor who made the Marti statue in
Central park, Havana, and more re-
Gently the monument to the martyrs
of the country at Cardenas, is penni-
less and charity patient in a hos
pital in Rome, although Cuba owes
him $4,000. The facts came out
when the mayor of Cardenas tele-
graphed to the central government
asking why funds had not been set
aside to pay the $4,000 due to the
sculptor. The money has been due
for nearly year and the sculptor has
been making vain efforts to obtain 1t.

ceived adviees from the Cuban minis
ter at Rome to the effect that Save
dra is completely destitute and that

1t is stated in high official circles
