estrangement between the races here.
The majority Of white Cubans have

President Gomez is one Of them. Ev,

that the cry Of white supremacy does
not amount to much. Estinoz had
more ignorant Jamaicans and Haitians
among his followers In the recent up
rising than Cubans.
White men are investing In Cuban
