Encouraging Outlook for Agricul-
turaI lad dustries 4. Cuba-Orders
for Grinding Machinery.

All agricultural industries in Cuba
are recovering with unexpected rapid
ity. In most of the provinces an al
most average crop of sugar will be
ground next spring. The winters
grinding must necessarily be light on
account of the lack of machinery as
we'll as the impossibility of getting
ground for cultivation
Orders have gone from Havana to
Boston for s1,5O0,o0o worth of sugar
grinding machinery. Several other or
ders are now pending.
A large transfer of property in Obs
po street just below Isabella square, in
Havana, is shrouded in mystery, but IL
is reported that the purchase is for q
New York department store.

ANXIOUS TO BE CLERKS.
Flood of Letters mt state Department
from Those Desiring Positions
in Cuba and Puerto Rice.

State department officials have been
inundated by letters from people who
speak Spanish applying for positions
in Cuba and Puerto Rico. A statement
made was published recently to the eff
feet that the services of Spanish-speak-
ing persons were desired to assist in
the execution of the colonial policy of
the United States imposed as a result
of the war. 1t was asserted with some
vehemence by the state department Of
fetal that there is no foundation for
the story. They are shrinking from the
food of letters which will certainly
come. 1t will be long time before the
government will require the services
of people speaking Spanish, and the
officials say 1t is worse than useless TO
make application.

SUGGESTS BEER FOR BAPTISM
Milwaukee Brewery Makes a Propo-
sition for the Christening OF
BattIe-hip.

A Milwaukee beer company has sug.
gested to the Wisconsin battleshir
commission that the bottle of beverage
which Mrs. Elizabeth Stephenson is to
break over the bow of the ship be beer
and not champagne.
The brewers say champagne is for
eign product, while the manufacture OF
beer is distinctively Wisconsin indus.
try and its use in christening the bat
tleship would make the occasion much
more patriotic.
Milwaukee beer, they say, is known
all over the world, and the claim is made
that this Yankee innovation would be
typical of the Americans, who have
ever scorned to be bound by precedent
The hackneyed idea of bottle of cham
pagne is displeasing to any American
in their estimation.

Germany for Her Discrimination
Against Our Products.

During the winter the administra-
tion purposes TO take steps retaliating
against Germany for discriminating
against American pork. Prof. Wiley.
of the agricultural department, is now
conducting an investigation for the
benefit of the president and has gone to
New York for the purpose of securing
samples of German wines and other
products, which will undergo a close
scrutiny to find ground for excluding
them from this country.
American products have been sub
jected TO all sorts of unjust discrimina-
tions. and especially is this true in re-
gard to pork, fruit and shrubbery.
Pork when intended for the interior
towns has been examined at the port of
entry and heavily assessed, and the
same process gone through at nearly
every large city on the way to its des-
tination- American meat products have
been harassed in so many ways that IL
has become Improbable to export them
to Germany. 1t has been charged that
these products are infected with tri-
chinae, and every thing imaginable
has been done to harass trade and drive
it from that market.
Recent consular reports show that
charges of trichinae existing in Amer
lean pork are unfounded, and upon a
scrutinizing investigation ii was found
to exist in meats which came from other
countries and were marked as coming
from America.
The president already has power to
act on his own responsibility, and the
data are now being collected on which
to base grounds for excluding German
products which are found to be impure
and adulterated, as the president does
not propose to adopt German methods
to stifie trade, believing that American
products will command market
wherever they are given a fair chance
without resorting to trickery.
The data which Prof. Wiley secures
will probably be submitted to con-
gress with the presidents message, and
he will undoubtedly make some refer
ence to it and suggest to congress that
1t take action in the matter, which he
believes will be more effective in bring
ing Germany to it's senses when spe-
officially directed by congress with the
approval of the president and the peo-
ple.

ARMY'S TRANSPORTS.
Enough Vessels to Fulfill All the
Present Requirements
Army OF Occupation OF Cuba to BE
Transported a Few at a Time
Special Care as TO Health
of Soldiers.

War department officials deny that
there is scarcity of transports to be
used in sending the army of occupation
to Cuba. While il is true only IA trans
ports on the Atlantic coast are con-
trolled by the war department, this
number will be sufficient to comfortably
transport the army. The whole army
will not embark at the same time, but
few regiments will be sent, then the
transports will return for the remain
der. There will be no haste in this mat
ter, as there is no fighting to be done.
but enough troops will be landed in
Cuba by December / to do garrison duty,
as the island will pass under control
of this government by that time.
Advices received from Gen. Wade in
dicate that it will not be reasonably
safe to send large number of troops
to Cuba just now, as the season is not
sufficiently advanced. Particular care
will be taken to guard the health of
these troops. The surgeons of every
regiment and the officers of every COM
pany have received strict orders from
the secretary of war relative to preserv-
ing the health of the men.
Nae old system of regimental sur
geons having been restored Gen. Cor
bin says these surgeons will now be
held TO a stricter accountability for
the health of the regimental camps.
Everything possible will be done to
make the soldiers comfortable during
their stay in Cuba, but'th question of
barracks will not be settled until the
board appointed to select camp sites
has made it's report.
Particular attention will be given to
rations and the commissary depart
ment is transporting these supplies in
advance of the movement of the army.
Several hundred head of cattle on the
hoof will follow the troops to Cuba in
order that they may have fresh beef
certain days of each week. In addi-
ton to this dressed beef will be sent in
refrigerators and placed in the refrig-
Grating plants now being erected In
Cuba.

A CABLE TO HAWAII.
tween Islands and United States
to BE Considered by Congress.

OF the several commissions adjusting
the relations of the United States to-
ward it's newly-acquired possessions,
the Hawaiian will be the first ready
with bill for the consideration of
congress. This of course will make pro-
visions for the government of the IS
lands, but aside from this there will be
another of the utmost Importance. 1t
will provide for the construction of a
cable between the Sandwich islands
and the United States. Owing to the
growing trade with this new territory
and the necessity of the government
having quick means of communication
with its officials there, congress will
probably subsidize q cable.

Old Age Pension.

The New Zealand assembly has just
passed an old-age pension bill which
applies to all persons 60 years old. The
pension amounts to but 500 year, or
about $1.75 a week, and no on who has
an income of over five dollars a week or
property worth more than $4,000 will
be entitled to 1t. Twenty years resi-
dence in the colony and ten years ex-
cmplary conduct are among the other
qualifications, the vagrant and the
drunkard being thus shut off.

The country is TO be congratulated on
the entire absence Of disturbance in the
business world on account OF the war.
II were vain to deny that here and there
hesitation and uncertainty have tended
to cause dullness, but the actual outbreak
Of hostilitles without graver consequences
to industry and commerce is an undoubt-
ed sign of health and stability. There is
no extravaganza in Bradstreets remark
that the lack Of excitement. nervousness
or interruption in the ordinary orderly
conduct OF public affairs. and particularly
business operations. with which this coun-
try has passed from peace to war seems
likely to become historical" The situ-
alton is almost without predecent. We
are not among those shallow economists
who believe that war is generally a coed
thing for labor, capital. and business.
But little common sense Is sufficient to
dispel all fear as to possible serious in
jury to our internal commerce through
the present war. There is nothing to
cause any decline in production or con-
sumption; on the contrary, the with
drawal from industry Of tens Of thous-
ands Of men who have TO be fed, clothed,
and looked after should stimulate most
Of the great industries and provide more
general employment for the people who
remain at home. Only an unreasonlng
panic might cause disturbance, and it is
fortunate that the transition to a war
footing was characterized by no trace Of
apprehension.
