News from Cuba.

MI. John S. Mcdonald, of by.
draulic regulator fame, has just
returned from a trip 10 Oubo, where
he went in the interests Of his bust
ness. During this trip he nearly
completed arrangements for the in
PRODUCTION of six or eight more Of
his hydraulic pres sure regulators, 50
we'll known here in louisiana;
these arrnngeme nts he expects soon
TO complete. AS regards those of
his machines already put up, they
are all doing well. The people Of
Cuba, Mr.. Mcdonald says, are tnk.
ing advantage of all the advances in
the sci"nce of the manufacture of
sugar, especially as regards improved
ma chinery.
Triple effects nre to be seen on
all sid es, and, as n rule, are prefer
red to double effe cts. Krajewski's
cane cutter and the Fisk shredder are
generally in use. Rather to his
surprise, he found MS a rule on the
plantations mu CHI of the same mHchi'
merry that one would see here in our
best equipped sugar houses.
Mr.. Mcdonald further says that
though loss has been suffered by
drought and fires, this has been
made good by an increase of acreage
in the last planting, so the crop will
BIZ fully MS large as last year.
Most Of the planters are doing very
we'll.
In his travels he found the Louis
lana Planter frequently quoted md
highly praised. both OF which facts
we enjoy very much, as they show
how our efforts are being appreciated.
In fact, he says. The Louisiana Plan
ter was the only New Orleans paper
he came across in all his travels.
Travelling in Cuba, Mr.. Mcdonald
says; is rather difficult; as it is hard
to procure conveyonces; however,
he enjoyed his trip very much, and
would have stayed much:longer had
not the reports of high waters here
called him back.
In the sugar houses, the young
native engineers are generally re.
placing those foreigners who went to
Cuba in that capacity many years
ago.
These young natives are alive to the
neces sity for the introduction of al
improved machinery, which cbaracl
t%eristic, Mr.. Mcdonald says, is
lacking in the other class, they oppos.
ing through their fondness for the
customs of bygone days all innova-
tons, simply and solely because they
were innovaI ions, and without regard
to merit. One other point he men.
toned and that was that the sugar
maker personally looked after the
triple effect as well as the vacuum
pan.-LoWisi0na Plaster.
