Sugar Supplies Failing.

By yesterdays dispatches from New York of pri-
vate advices from Cuba, the devastation Of the great
sugar estates which has being going on for two or
three months. still continues. The loss Of crops al
ready is calculated at very many thousands Of tons
of sugar; and the end is not yet The destruction
must and will continue. 1t is a military necessity of
the insurgents, or Cuban Patriots, as they call them
selves. The pockets Of the people of the United
States will soon be touched by the failing supply and
consequently increasing price of this necessary arti-
cle-sugar. If the $50, 000. 900 worth from Cuba
which they have been in the habit of receiving annu-
ally, be cut CT by this devastating war, it will have
a greater effect in advancing the price of sugars than
the late Act of Congress, which provides for an in
creased taxation thereon Of twenty-five per cent. AS
the United States now consume >, 1000, 000, 900 pounds
of sugar of all descriptions per annum, or about so
pounds per capita for our 10000 900 Of people this
matter of burning sugar plantations is becoming
serious. Evidently there is inducement sufficient for
California sugar-beet growers to expand their planta-
tions.-S. +. Bulletin, April Is.

The District of Hilo, Hawaii.

A correspondent who recently rode through the
above district, sends US the following notes Of in
terest
From Hilo town. the plantations, five in number,
are scattered along towards Hamakua. There is also
one lately started by the Hitchcock Brothers, who
have some fifty or more acres Of cane, but no mill as
yet. Sugar growing in this district has not proved a
great success, from a variety of causes. The cost Of
cultivation is I higher here than anywhere else on the
islands. The humid atmosphere and hot sun makes
the grass and weeds groE faster than the cane in this
prolific soil, and therefore the cane must be constantly
cultivated from the time of planting until it is ready
to go to the mill, thus requiring a larger force Of hands
to produce a ton of sugar than on any Of the other
plantations elsewhere. The cost Of placing their
crops in Honolulu freight, commissions, and other
charges, eats a large hole before one is aware Of it.
"But with all their drawbacks, the planters here
have some advantages not enjoyed by others. In
every gulch is a water power-aud there is a plenty
of gulches. 1t has never been definitely settled how
many there are in the thirty miles intervening be-
tween Hilo town and Hamakua. If one wishes TO get
from one side of a plantation to the other, parallel
with the seacost, he must go on the ridge that he is
on to the beach, and there will be found a road run
ming along the coast. Some Of the streams are
bridged; others you wade across. One has a ferry
q scow,-in lieu of q bridge. There was once a
bridge there, but a freshet carried it away, and the
Road Supervisor concluded that the art Of building
another was lost, and SO they got a scow.

The fumes in this distrie; deserve something
more than a passing notice The first one came
about almost accidentally. when the plantations
were first started, some means had to DC adopted Of
getting the cane to the mills and fuel from the forests
above. 4 railway was used. Tbis was constructed
90 that the carts run to the mill-house by their own
gravitation, as the incline is sufficient. Thus the
railway was used for several years. until Mr.. D. Ii.
Hitchcock undertook 70 Goat down fgeWood in a ditch
dug for the purpose, and in crossing a ravine he
built a hume Mr.. 5. L. Austin. proprietor Of the
onomea Plantation, appearing TO have taken the
hint from this, commenced to build sumes for the
transportation Of his cane and fuel. and the other
plantations followed. 1t IS Of course the eheapes;
mode Of transportation known, where sufficient water
and an incline can be obtained. With the water
moving from four to Eve miles an hour would answer
very well, but here ii runs much faster, as in some
places there is 8 fall Of from 40 to 80 feet in a thou
sand. There are twenty-eight miles Of fuming on
the different plantations, including three and a half
miles owned by the Messrs. Hitchcock, constructed
for the purpose Of running frewoOd TO the coast.
The cost is estimated at $1,000 per mile. Sixteen
men can move from alongside Of the hume in the
woods, one hundred cords Of wood from three to five
miles in one working day; or parties viii take it by
the job st twenty-five cents per cord and pile 1t at the
mill. The cane coming down in the dume is washed
perfectly clean, and that is an advantage, besides the
c~heapuess Of the transportation.
Rice planting in this district is a new enterprise,
having lately been started by some Chinese, who ex-
pect to reap q crop of about fifty tons"

. No amount Of argument can, we should hope,
lead sensible people in this country to pat more

are exposed TO the constant danger that the Domin-
ion Parliament may grant a subsidy for a competi-
tive railway to run half a mile of. In this way the
Canadian Southern has been built, to the ruin of the
proprietors of the Canadian Great Western. II the

enough have been presented 20 the Dominion al
