sugar NIanufacturc in Cuba.

IL will no doubt he interesting to our readers,
especially to those engaged in the cultivation
Of the cane and the manufacture Of sugar. TO
know how the process is conducted in other
countries. The following statement in from Mr..
HAH@, the efficient sugar boiler AZ the Honolulu
Refinery. who took off a crop from the estate
Of St. Isabel, in the Island u Cuba. about $50
miles from Havana, in the years 1861 and 1862:
he says the machinery consisted Of four steam
boilers, three Of which, from the description
given, were probably Cornish seven copper
CHARTERS with iron jackets without pipes two
six-feet and one eight-feet copper vacuum pans,
with a separate engine for each two sets Of
centrifugals for molasses sugar, driven by one
engine, and one sugar mill, with separate en-
CINE. The water used was collected in cisterns
during the wet season. The evaporating, to the
density of 81 ? Baume, was done in the two
six-feet pans worked with dry pumps, and the
water for the eight-feet pan, used as 4 strike
pan, was used over and over constantly.
The time occupied was a little over four
months, and the number of days of boiling just
eighty. The amount taken off was about : 900
boxes, or sirteeH hundred tons, about fourteen
hundred being first sugar and the balance mo-
lasses sugar. Very little rain fell during the
period of boiling, which commenced December
% and closed April 80. The trash supplied
the most of the fuel. The practice was to draw
cane TO the mill from four to six days before
commencing the grinding, and continue to draw
till the boiling had caught up with the draw
ing, and then to suspend the boiling till the
cane had accumulated by four or FIVE days draw
ing, and so on. The first sugars were drained
in moulds holding from eighty-fve to ninety
pounds each, and the periods Of grinding were
as follows. Commencing
