CCBA'S VALUE.

When Columbus called Cuba THE
Pearl of the Antilles" he spoke wiser
than he knew. Long years OF expert
ence and observation have demonstrate
ed it to be the fairest and most fertile
of tropical lands. Its proportion of un-
tillable lands is comparatively small,
and there are no arid areas as in Mex
leo. OF its $4,000 square miles, only 10
per cent is under cultivation, and the
remainder for the most part one vast
acclaimed wilderness. And yet the
exports from the island every year
amount to millions.
The normal commerce of CY ba is
best illustrated BY the exports III i'm
ports of 1892, which is regarded as an
average year. During this year the
exports amounted ss9,500, 900, and we're
distributed as follows: Tobacco and
sugar. ss5, 600, 900; minerals, $4,000, 900:
animals, s550.O00, and the remainder
included beeswax. bananas, honey.
mahogany and other fine woods. The
total imports amounted to sj6, $50, 900, Of
which S17.622,4ll was from the United
States. Total imports from Cuba to
this country during the same year ag-
gregated s77,93l. 81.
