Waldeck on comic side of Cuban Revolution
In Havana a vivid comic view contrasts with the upheaval of revolt. The piece spotlights streets, cafes, theaters, and bustling markets as revolutionaries gather near Havana, with congressmen in and out of jail, a police chief turned politician, and raids on public treasuries. It notes clashes, improvised military life, and oddities like fan language and mule carts amidst a nation in rebellion.

Why Russian Papers Are Suspended
A satire on czarist courts martial triggers government action in St. Petersburg. The sunlit scene shows an editor facing a “summary court-martial” that convicts him to 20 years in the galleys, after which he will be hanged. The piece ends with a classified ad asking what to sell and a jab at revolutionary prospects.
