From the "Anuario De La Isla De Cuba" we gather but little information owing to our vast ignorance of the Spanish tongue and its derivations. The data we give above is but an approximation, though very close to the facts in the case. Like many of the Provincial Grand Lodges, the business of this one is largely attended to by committees and the meetings of the Grand Lodge only occupy a few hours. In the past year the first triennal or "Trimestral" meeting or "Sesion" was held June 27; the second, September 26; the third, December 26, and a Special or "Sesion Extraordinaria" was held October 22. The Annual Convocation or "Sesion Anual" was held on four several dates, to wit, March 26, April 2, April 9, and the last, or "ultima reunion", on April 13, 1916. At the first of these, "Anuals" the .election of officers was held, and, as already stated, each convocation only lasted a few hours. The comparatively small area occupied by this Grand Jurisdiction enables the members to assemble in a short time and with comparatively little expe~se. So far as we can gather, little of interest to the Masonic world generaUy was revealed in any of the meetings of the Grand Lodge, except the fact that" Cuban Masonry seems to be thoroughly in line and orthodox, and to be in a fairly prosperous condition. FOREIGN

CORRESPONDENCE.
