El Carbon del Tio Liborio: Se hard como lo disponga, Se le dard lo que quiera; Que aumente su carbonera Y devuelva a Bahia Honda. La Lucha. No Indemnity Provided As a result of the dynamite explosion, which occurred in May last in the barracks of the rural guard at Pinar del Rio, many owners of houses which suffered loss were indemnified. The amount spent for this purpose was $7,156. But a number of other property owners have claimed the same assistance from the Public Works Department for the repair of their buildings, and it now happens that this aid cannot be furnished, because the act of Congress of July 22d, which modified the act of June 2, 1909, provided that the appropriation of $50,000, which Congress voted for the reUef of the victims, should be appUed only to succor actual victims or survivors of the catastrophe. On December 13th a deed Making was said to have been ex- an ecuted in Havana, says La Exchange Lucha, whereby the twenty- six and one-half caballerias (one caballeria is 33V3 acres) belonging to the heirs of Sehor Toca and designed to be used as a coaHng station and a naval sup- ply station are transferred to the Cuban government. The object of the deed is to facilitate a transaction between the American and Cuban governments, by which the former will waive its rights to Bahia Honda, in exchange for a larger tract of land at Guantanamo. The Cuban cartoonist shows Uncle bam adding Bahia Honda's coal to that at Guantanamo, as illustrating the transfer.
