Washington. February 1.-The state de-
partment Is endeavoring to relieve the
American sugar planters in Cuba from the
embarrassing position In which they are
situated as n result nj the attitude o, the
Spanish authorities toward those who at
tempt to grind cane. Probably with the in
tention of forcing all Of the plantation
hands into the town and so preventing them
from giving aid and encoura cement to the
insurgents. the Spanish officials have sur
rounded the grinding of cane with 20 many
and vexaiious restrictions as to make 1t
practically impossible to make sugar in
large portion nj the island SO far as can
be gathered there is no general or even
specific prohibition in terms against grind
ing, but under the existing orders the sugir
