TRADING IN sPo1Ls OF WAR
Clever Yankees Profiting Greatly
by Wreck of Cuban Industry

Other nations extremity is usually
Uncle Sans opportunity. With his cu-'-
tomary cuteness and foresight he has
availed himself of the distracted state Of
Cuba to make money in a rather odd
way. When the war in Cuba had beer
raging for some time and the Industries
Of the unhappy island were at starad-
still it occurred to the astute manager of
the Nassau smelling works that there
was money to be made by purchasing
the wrecked machinery that lay rustirs
in the fields and factories of Cuba while
the engineers and planters to whom the
plants belonged were fighting for free
dom against the Spanish soldiers. The
idea was acted upon at once Six months
ago there left for Cuba an expedition
which consisted of seventy-five men,
whose only weapon was an unlimited
credit upon which to draw, for the pur-
pose of buying up the entire machinery
Of the island at the cheapest price for
cash.
The Spanish authorities at first looked
upon the expedition with suspicion and
at one time it seemed as though the en-
Tire contingent of peaceful traders would
be arrested and thrown into MORO cas-
tie as filibusters in disguise. They sue
ceeded, however, in demonstrating their
peaceful intentions ard forthwith pro-
ceeded to scatter over the island, look
ing for the ownars of the engines, boil
ers, plows, tobacco raising plants anG
sugar plantation implements that the
Cubans left to the care of anyone who
happened to take a fancy to them
I,
for the reason that Spanish bullets had
left the property ownerless, the Span
sh officials were only too glad to pro-
claim themselves the rightful possessors
of the property ard allow the agents
| of the smelling works TO carry OIL the
rusting machinery at their own price.
| AS fast as it could be bought up the
machinery was shipped to New York.
chiefly as old metal and today in the
shops and yards of the smelling works
can be seen the remnants of what were
once, in the piping times of peace, the
plants with which the industries of
Cuba brought wealth to the Golfers of
the planters ard manufacturers. If
there is any vestige left in Cuba of its
former industries it is certainly not the
fault of the seventy-five men who are
engaged ir, buying up as old metal the
machinery of the War-torn island. When
the war is ended-if it ever does end
the Cubans will have to begin all over
again, and buy ntilely new plants
throughout the length and breadth of
the land before the wheels of industry
will be able to hum once more. Their
Uncle Sam will score again, for the new
machinery will probably be bought from
him.-NeW York Herald
