Jose Peimino, a naturalized Cuban of Italian birth, a prominent Liberal politician and a candidate for the Havana Municipal Council, shot and killed on September 2d Juan Amer, a Spaniard, editor of the Chanteeler, a new comic weekly. The boys' band at Sagua la Grande will be paid a salary hereafter according to a resolution of the city council August 18th. 'I he band has been furnishing good con- certs at the park. Too Many Deer Deer seem to like the young and tender shoots of orange trees. In young groves they quite often strip the trees near the woods fo persistently that many of the trees die. Every grove owner has con- siderable trouble from this cause. I know of one instance where a grove has had to be abaridoned because of the damage done by the deer. In many other cases the ravages caused by deer have caused almost hopeless panic. The success of the citrus tree industry in Cuba demands the sacrifice of the animals in all localities w'here the fruit business is becoming estab- lished. In such places all laws for their protection should be abolished and if necessary a bounty offered for deer-skins. The citrus fruit crop, being short all around this year, will probably result in good prices for the growers. However, the local demand here is so good that it is doubtful if any oranges will go north from this locality.
