The Cuba review. 30 THE CUBA R E \- I E W ISLE OF PINES NOTES Bonding arrangements have at last been perfected for the transportation of cargo from foreign ports in Nueva Gerona, which arrangement the Isle of Pines Company- has had in hand for several months. Under this new arrangement consignees in the Isle of Pines may instruct the ship- pers from any United States point to de- liver his freight to any steamship Hne en- tering Havana, which steamship line will deliver the cargo to bonded cars of the United Railways in Havana, whence it will be transferred to Batabano to the steamer "Colon" and be sealed by the customs of- ficials in the port of Batabano. Upon ar- rival at Nueva Gerona the cargo will be de- livered to the custom house here for as- sessment of duties and delivery. This new arrangement will facilitate the arrival of shipments in about ten days from the time of shipment in the United States, and enable consignees to figure accurately the duties that are assessed on each com- modity that is imported. Freight on all such cargoes must be pre- paid from the point of shipment to Havana, and the freight from Havana to the Isle of Pines will be collected against delivery of cargo at Nueva Gerona. Owing to the fact that the customs house at Nueva Gerona is closed Sundays, this cargo will only be han- dled on the boats leaving Batabano Mon- days and Wednesdays.

On that day there appeared before the judges of the x\udiencia the six principals in the case, Alessrs. Giltner, Clark, Gardner, Nelson, Saul and Ramsdell. The news of the final dismissal was conveyed to the isle in a let- ter from Minister John B. Jackson to Con- sular Agent V. P. Scene near the Papa
