without some concessions or an ad-

see a state of affairs direful and disas-
trous even with the most prosperous OF
Cuban planters" This is the substance Of
a report to the State Department by Wal
ter B. Basker, United States consul at
Sagua la Grande, Cuba, upon the subject
Of the financial embarrassments OF sugar
planters. He says that they are, at the
very beginning of the grinding season, In
a most deplorable condition, and that bank
ruptcy appears inevitable to nine-tenths OF
them. The very low price of sugar eentrif-
ugals, now at % cents per pound, Span
ish gold. with Indications Of further de-
cline in prices, renders the situation so dis
couraging that some mills have ceased to
grind and planters are suspending. Their
only hope is that Cuban sugar may be IA
vored by the United States in compensa-
ton for the concessions made by Spain to
the United States in the matter Of exports
to Cuba.

ble to finish crop. The suspension Of all
