LAWDISAPPOINTS ALENS N CUBA bhanging of U. S. Immigra- i tion Statute Leaves 200,- : 000 in Lurch. By the Associated Press. * HAVANA, August 9.—The new American immigration law which be- ¢ame effective July 1 has barred the Qoors to approximately 200,000 per- fons from every land under the sun Who had come to Cuba expecting to £ to the United States, according to Vice Consul T. M. Fisher, in charge of passports in the American con- sulate general here. 4 The sharp decrease in quotas from &siatic and southern European coun- tries and the change in regulations take it improbable that more than $ per cent of the Would-be immi- grants can legally get into the United States during the next 12 months, nd many declare openly that under hese conditions they will take al- most any chance of being smuggled dver to Florida or to a port. A few months in jail and forcible de- portation is the only penalty. A few say they will go to South America, but the majority declare they will oventually return to their native lands. Moxt Are Spaniards. Nearly three-fourths of the men, women and children who gather daily by the thousands and clamor for passport vises to “the States” are Spanish. The next largest ele- ment consists of Jamaican negroes, of whom there are approximately 40,000, while Mr. Fisher estimates ESTATE. or are operating small stores he. but most of the other immigrants pear to be living from hand to mouth, and declare they cannot settle down and save anything in a country where common labor makes $1 to $1,60 a day, and where “floating labor” lucky 'to find a job in the dull sum- mer months. few Immigrants peddle small articles in the streets or work for a few dollars a week for residents of their own nationality, and a Jewish aid society extends what help it can to persons of that faith, but, accord- ing to Mr. Fisher, “literally tho sands are being supported by re tives in the United States or are 1i ing on their savings.” Many of the immigrants have lived for years in the United States wit out taking out naturalization pape and on visiting their native lan overstayed the time limit and now cannot return. Most of the {mmi- grants are persons who were refused American passport vises in their own countries and came to Cuba hop- ing to get Into the United States un- der the provisions of the former im- migration law, which allowed free entry to Europeans after five years' residence here and permitted a dash across the Fiorida Straits to get in on thelr respective quotas after a years residence. The new law con- tains no such provisions. HOUNDS USED TO TRAIL TOBACCO CROP RAIDERS Several Warrants to Be Sworn Out on Evidence Obtained by Dogs. By the Asnociated Press.
