Millions of feet are now being imported
in Cuba. Savannah, however. is deprv-
ed at the present from doing any lumber
business with the island. for the simple
reason that they are buying from the Gulf
at such low prices as 10 make competition
for us impossible.
r. In clothing, only light-weight goods
! as cashmere and light wooden goods. large
" mixed with cotton, light weight light
colors, principally stripes are worn by
the men in winter
Is. Shoes. That American shoes for men
and women will be eagerly sought after BY
consumers in Cuba, for. as general thing
the American shoe is made of better
leather and finer shape than the shoes
now sold there. The numbers for women
are from / TO S1s, very few As; men, TO
z; very few 6's and less rs.
IA. Hotels in Cuba are crowded to such
an extent that it is very difficult to Sc
cure a room in any of them Havana
would easily support handsomely five
large hotels on the American style; Ma
tonzas two, Cardenas one.
Is. Ice factories and two breweries in
Havana would do magnificent business
16 There is no opening in Cuba to-day
for professional men. mechanics or labor
ers, and I advise such to keep away for
the present.
II. In spite of all that has been said by
the papers in regard to the political stu
alton in Cuba, l would like to say that I
have found all classes of Cubans, from
the highest to the lowest law-abiding ana
exceedingly DESTROYS to take advantage of
the conditions that now obtain. in order
good will of all civilized nations I, for
one do not apprehend any trouble there.
Is 1t is hardly possible to realize the
great fertility of Cuban soil Suffice to
say that sugar cane will bear from the
same root year after year for twenty years
or more. that three crops of corn can be
raised in one year on the same ground.
| Cotton once planted grows year after
year. bearing all the time, especially in the
MlneF months I a nj
had open bolls ready to pick. bolls lust
openinS, and also blooms and shapes, and
others forming. I broke some of the
branches and brought them here. l send
them to you for inspection. A cotton
broker here has examined the cotton
which I also send you, and states that
such cotton grading middling' would
bring &c. per pound more than ours grad
ing middling, in this market.
Other prodcuts of the island are well
known to you. Its tobacco is sought after
by all nations, most delicious fruits abound
the whole year around, and its pastures
are always green. Breezes from the sea
are daily felt, which makes it cool in the
shade, even in the hottest months of the
year. Those not acclimated, however,
should keep away from Cuba especially
from the city ports, during the summer
months.
IS. As some of the merchants may desire
to advertise their business in a Havana
paper, / would advise them to do so i'm the
daily called La Discussion.
La Discussion is the most popular news
paper in Havana, it represents the voice
of the people at large. The paper is edited
by Manuel Maria Coronado, and l write
no title before his name, because he is
so much loved by all who know him.
that he is only called Manuel Maria'
showing the affection and high esteem in
which he is held
Manuel Maria Coronado is also one of
Havana's aldermen, and his counsel is
sought after in all affairs of vital inter-
est. 1 recommend La Discussion to all bus
mess men in Savannah who may wish to
advertise in Cuba. The charges are mod
crate, and the readers of it thousands
The Morning News is much sought after
in Havana by English speaking people
and 1t is read with relish by all who can
get hold of it. Two men peddle it. one in
the city, another at the American camps.
The Morning News should exchange with
La Discussion at Havana.
20. l have with me a tariff with rates
of freight for goods by rail from Havana
to Mantanzas, and Cardenas on the east
Cienfuegos, Batabano, and Pinar del Rio
on the south, and Guanajay on the west.
