tice of the peace in the District of Colum-
bia and the substitution therefor of an

In fact, do not see how any mere per-
n ission from, General Blanco can render
any effective assistance to the starving
people. Some few might find wild sweet
potatoes cat the tops fruit of the
rcyal palm but it must not be supposed
that although Cuba is a fertile country
food lies about loose on the ground. These
penniiess people, if freed from all fear OF
General Blanco the Spanish guerrillas ana
the insurgents, and gwen medicine 10 re-
store their health, would have nothing but
grass to eat until, with seeds, implements,
labor and at least three months of time,
they had produced sweet potatoes, which
seem to be the vegetables of speediest
growth down there. Wherever the eye can
see the land is grown up with tall grass,
often high mans head, or covered
with burned sugar cane, the stalks still
standing, or with stunted volunteer cane.
interspersed here and there with royal
palm trees, often growing in long rows
which led up to the homes of coffee plant
ers of forty years ago. Cuba, in other
words is real country, like other coun-
tries, and not land of the Arabian Nights

Spanish municipal authorities had recently

be paid but has not been. which seems to
be the case with most of the civil officials

Here in cots or cabins matched with
the tops Of the royal PAIN tree were the
remnants of the paCIle ccEc.Etrdted by
Neyiers order. No stores, physicians or
other accompanimcnts of towns were

people could invest the results of their
begglngs. The depot at San Domingo is
constantly filled with emaciated and dis
eifsed women and children, plaintively and

small places that within the limits allowed
there could be nothing to live upon.
MADE numerous inquiries to learn
what change Gen Blanco had professed to
make in the situation of these people
was told varously that he had extended
the zone of cultivation. This would mean
a much wider circle of forts, but i saw no
evidence of the execution of any such or
der, and there were doubtless reasons of
a military and economic character for not
making any such extension and weakening
of the line of defense; also, that he was
permitting the people to go out into the
country to search for and raise food, but
in several hundred miles of travel in day
light | saw no living souls at any consider
able distance from the fortified places, ex-
cept troops of Spanish cavalry nor any
habitations of man or beast except the re-
mains of destroyed sugar mills; also that
he was permitting plantation owners
to resume business on their estates on con-
dition that they surrounded them with
forts and paid the soldiers who were to
guard them. This last | believe to be cor
rect, but doubtless Weyler would have
been only too glad to permit the same
thing, although it is true that he is charg-
ed with burning more sugar mills than the
insurgents, whose object was to destroy
only the cane. | talked with the manager

A FEW MORE OPPORTUNITIES.

Almost every day the Posf-lnteliigen-
Ger has some new evidence TO present 10
the people Of the rapid advancement Of
this city. One day it is the great in
crease in the p0stoffice business, an
other Of the wonderful increase in the
bank ciearances, the great increase in
shipping and the demand for lumber.
We have to tell OF long lines of cars
ming night and day. Yesterday new
field was opened up and the people were
given some idea of the rapid develop
n.eut Of manufacturing in this city. The
completion of the electric power system
will add a fresh stimulus to the smaller
manufacturing establishments and en-
tirely new industries viii be started.
Yet it is from an entire stranger to
the city. a man who was born in Cey-
Ion. that some Of the best suggestions
for the future have come. Vincent l..
Tissera, looking over the field. sees not
only the opening for flour mills and
lumber mills. He can see opportunities
for a great pencil factory; the pencils
10 be- made from our cedar and plum
bago imported directly from Ceylon.
Then he sees no reason why we should
not have two or three large soap fac
tories here, taking cocoanut oil from
the same source
The traffic in tea does not come I'M
der the head of manufactures. but the
importation suggested By Mr.. Tissera
is quite within our reach. 1t would not
occur TO the average citizen of Seattle,
orient. that il would be worth while
reaching cut for the shipment of Cey-
Ion teas to this port, but the shrewd
Singalese, alert TO reach the markets by
the quickest route and at the lowest
rate, conceived the idea that by all the
natural laws of trade, 1t should come
straight across the Pacific. reaching
Puget sound and being thence distrb-
uted inland. instead of being shipped
by way Of Liverpool and New York.
The subject is well worth the attention
Of the Chamber OF Commerce. Teas
and silk from China and Japan already
come 10 Puget sound but in order 20
attract the Ceylon trade we must plan
ont return CargOeS which can be profit
ably handled.
