The continued northerly gales which
have prevailed since New Years have re-
duced the temperature all. over the
island OF Cuba and this will be noted as
the coldest winter ever known in that
latitude. The mercury has fallen as
low as 50 and SO. The cold weather is
favorable to the development of the
cane, which is in splendid condition. and
sugar making is now general through
out the island. The estimates for
very large crop will be greatly reduced
on account of the frequent fires among
the standing cane, many of which, no
doubt, were incendlary, and large guam
titles OF growing cane have been con-
sumed. The loss to planters Will be
immense.

cut. They say if any civil action is
brought against them for breaking the

probable. They claim that the company
pays less for melting and other work
than any other great mill in the coun-
try.

itself. 1t is. needless to say the deeds
they gave for the real estatlt were valu-
less. It is asserted they have netted
10000 from many victims. The ex-
posure came about through widow
