RAINFALL IN CUBA.
Some Interesting Data In Connection
With PIans for Invasion.

Some interesting data concerning the
rainfall in Santiago, Cuba, has been re-
ceived here frCm official sources. The
rainy season in Cuba is always dreaded
by the Spanish solGiery, for the reason
thot military operations are, in u large
measure, suspended during that time. The
information is also important to our gov
ernment should it undertake any occupa-
ton of Cuba. as the rainy season is just
about to begin The period covered by the
data at hand was for the six months of
rainy season of 1897 and shows the pre-
clpitation to have been as follows: May
IL inches; June, about I inches; July, near
ly inches; August. "a inches; September
10 inches, and October So inches The
precipitation for the whole year was
about 30 inches. 1t, however, does not al
ways run up to this figure, but varies con-
siderably, being some years much lower
than for 1897. Twenty-four inches of
rainfall, 1t is said, Is ordinarily adequate
for normal purposes

STATE ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Hearing Held by Special Legislative
Cnmrnittna YnStardaV-

Hearing Held by Special Legislative
Committee Yesterday.
The special committee appointed by
the last legislature to investigate state
road improvement held a hearing in
the superior court room in this city
yesterday, the members present being
Senators Keller, Hall of Wilmington,
Kenealy, Hutchinson and Hall of Wa
terbury, Representatives Griffing, Hall
and Lyman and Clerk Pendleton. state
Highway Commissioner James ii. Mac
donald, Mayor Farnsworth, Lieutenant
Governor Dewell, T. w. It. Curtis, Will
liam Il. Fields and ex-senator James
Graham were present.
Lieutenant Governor Dewell advocat-
ed the building of roads from town to
town by the state and gave an interest
ing description of the roads in Porto
Rico, which are maintained by the gov
eminent.
Mayor Farnsworth said he thought
it would be a good plan to charge the
proportion of expense, one-half to the
town and one-half to the state, but was
not in favor of bonding the state to
build up every byway of the state. He
said: New Haven share of the taxes,
the county tax and state tax, is pretty
large compared with the amount OF say
which we have when the representa-
tives gather together. That is not fair.
1t is not just.
1--WE have in this city railroads which
are using our streets exclusively, which
pay $4,000 into the state treasury every
year, which do not pay one cent to New
Haven for the privileges enjoyed"
The mayor said that he was in favor
of a state tax rather than long term
bonds.
Mr. Fields of the Tradesmen's bank
said that if we could have good roads
from town to town he was willing to see
the state bonded.
T. w. T. Curtis was not in favor of an
unlimited bond issue.
This is the last hearing to be held by
the committee, hearing already having
been held in the other counties of the
state The committee will make a re-
| port of plan for road improvement al
| the next legislature.
