CANE GRINDING IN CUBA
STATE DEPARTMENTS ATTEMPTS
TO RELIEVE PLANTERS.
Spanish officials Have Surrounded the
Grinding of Cane With Many NeXa-
tous s-Complaints.

The State Department is endeavor-
ing to relieve the American sugar
planters in Cuba from the embarrassing
position in which they are situated as
a result of the attitude of the Spanish
authorities toward those who attempt
to grind cane, says late Washington
Star. Probably with the intention of
forcing all of the plantation hands in
from giving aid and encouragement to
the insurgents, the Spanish officials
have surrounded the grinding of cane
with so many and veXatious restric-
tons as to make it practically impos-
sibe to make sugar in a large portion
of the island. SO far as can be gath
cred there is no general or even spe-
cific prohibition in terms against
grinding. but under existing orders
the sugar men find it impracticable to
grind
The Department of State has been
embarrassed in the effort to lodge a
protest by the difficulty of finding Of
fetal copies of any order of prohibition
by any responsible person, yet it is
necessary to do this in order to have
tangible evidence upon which to found
claim for damages in behalf of the
sugar men. SO far, the efforts of the
department have succeeded in obtain
ing removal of restrictions only up
on the grinding of burnt cane, which
equal to ripened cane, but the efforts
are being continued. and it is hoped
will result soon in an abatement of all
the onerous restrictions complained of
by the planters.
