Founded and is pres. of the Bando de Piedad de la Isla de Cuba (Band of Mercy of the Island of Cuba), for the protection of children, helpless adults and animals, and has built it up until it is one of the most effective humane societies in exist- ence.

Waged a strong fight against cruelty to children in the Reform School, and in many ways and places finds a large field for humane work in Cuba. -Quaker. Mem. Child Labor Fed.
