A Scene in Santiago. A pack train at rest near the old Cathedral. Una vista en Santiago; mulos de cargo descansandose cerca al viejo Catedral. (Courtesy the Publicity League of Cuba.) Injurious Cheap Drinks. In Havana there are any number of cheap "gasiosas" and so-called refrescos on the market which are sold at the grocery stores for 2 and 3 cents a bottle, and I understand that the factories sell their products for as low as 30 cents a case of twenty-four bottles. From the very nature of things a pure soda-water cannot be put up and sold at a profit for 30 cents a case. Hence the need of inspection of these "gasiosas" and soda- waters, which inspection would prob- ably result in showing a great many of them to be unhealthy and injurious. —W. B. Goodrich in the Havana Post. Clean Vaudeville Profitable. George B. Greenwood, manager of the Empire Theatrical Exchange, said in Havana recently to a Post representative that he believed Cuba to be a wonder- fully lucrative field for first-class vaude- ville, run on American ideas. Good, clean, honest vaudeville presented in the right way would be appreciated by Cu- bans after the questionable moving pic- tures presented in the island for the last two years. For Bravery in Action. Among the officers awarded medals of honor for gallant conduct in action in various places was First Lieutenant James Robb Church, assistant surgeon, First United States Volunteers Cavalry (now major. Medical Corps), at Las Guasimas, Cuba, June 24, 1898. In ad- dition to performing gallantly the duties pertaining to his position, voluntarily and unaided he carried several seriously wounded men from the firing line, to a secure position in the rear, in each in- stance being subjected to a very heavy fire and great exposure and danger. For a Jewish Cemetery. The Jewesses of Cuba are endeavoring to acquire consecrated ground for Jew- ish burial, says the Portland, Oregon, Jewish Tribune. Because the Jewish community is small and the people of small means, the ladies in the island are appealing to the Jews of the United States for aid. Up to now they_ have been dependent upon the generosity of the Catholic community to use their ground. The hope for the cemetery is that the bones of the dead Jewish sol- diers and sailors scattered through Cuba, and especially those who died on the Maine, shall be reinterred in hallowed grounds. The office of the United Hebrew Congregations of Cuba is at 6 San Rafael street, Havana.
