DON JUAN ROsELLO.

Ell sensible fallecinliento de
nuestro buen amigo senior Juan
Rosell6 ha sido causa de legiti-
ma tristeza para cuantos conoci-
mos la nobleza y generosidad de
aquel gran coraz6n propicio a la
obra del bien, dentro y fuera del
hogar lntimo donde fue siempre
'esposo> y padre modelo, amigo J
ciudadano ejemplar.
Los funerales de don Juan Ro-
sello fueron testimonio selocuente
de la estimation en- que Sc le ttlvo
una manifestation popular de
sentimiento y de simpatfa.
Reiteramos a la estimable fami
liza la. .sincera expression de nuestra
tristeza por perdida tan irrepara-

Cada vez que llega nuestros
puertos un buque procedente de
Cuba, de Santo Domingo, de Vene
zuela, de Espana, escuchamos la
rnisma protesta en- los labios de
los viaJeros que vienen al pals.
Los funcionarios de la inmigra-
ci6n dirfase que Sc complacen en-
apurar los terminus del interroga
torio modesto del que no Sc esca-
pan nj los extranjeros que, vienen
de puertos amerieanos en- los va
pores que navegan bajo la bande-
ra de los Estados Unidos.
6Por que ese prurito inquisidor
llevado al extreme de la injuria
Ell muchos de los casos? 5Por que
ese torpe prop6sito de procurar
que las personals que vienen de
fuera 10 primero que aquf reciban
sea una impression desagradable?
Els para prevenirnos contra la
llegada de gentes peligrosas Sc
nos dira. 81; la finalidad debe
ser esa; pero el procedimiento que
sc sigue no puede ser nj mas torpe
nj mas repulsiyo. La gente peli-
grosa que quisiera venir, 81 fuera
el nuestro un pals propicio a las
aventuras, vendrfa de todos mo-
dos Y para esquivar las restriccio-
nes quetla ley pudiera opener al
desembarco de aqueila, tendrla,
de sobra, previstos los medios de
parecer inofensiva.
No es contra los extranjeros pc
ligrosos que Sc eiercita la supicaz
aldeaner1a de los funcionarios pro
CAGES, siro contra los. elementos
utiles que yienen del exterior y
que precisamente porqae son gen
ties de bien han de sentir y sien-
ten como una ofensa ese inhospita-
lario rechazo de que Sc les hace
rfctimas.
Mas de una vez hemos visto en-
los oios de las damas yiajeras Ia
grimas de verguenza, reproduc-
ci6n de otras lagrimas, al refe-
rir la n1anera como fueron trata--
das en- el brusco interrogatorio a
que fueron sometidas antes del de
selnbarco. A nuestros oidos ha lie
gado el relate hecho por testigos
presenciales del gesto energieo y
digno con que un caballero que
viajaba con una hija soltera, hubo
de castigar el desman contra esta
cometido, al someterla pregun-
tas verdaderamente impropias de
sll estado civil. Sabemos que un
caballero natural de Mejico y ciu-
dadano de los Estados Unidos que
viaja en- representation de una
gran casa exportadora americana
ha recogido, para eleyar una pro
tesla a las autoridades superiores,
testimonies de aquellas personals
que fueron molestadas, sin justifi
cacion alguna, para que el correc-
two inaplazable> venga como es
de rigor.
Pero, juzgar por Ia serie de
