LABOR Of CUBA
Report on Outlook for
Field Workers.
Mary Oieo"- Soisiers He'd Bee n
Servins as Coolies -Pianrios
Tor the Future.
(Willet and GrayD

We have looked into the question of
laborers in Cuba and find that there is
not now sufficient number available
for the production OF a normal crop OF
sugar. Many of the former laborers
died as result of the reconcenirado
policy of Captain General Weyler. and
a further loss of laborers was caused
by the departure of the Spanish sol
diers. large number of whom worked
in the canefields. Following is a reply
to our special enquiry on this subject:
Matanzas. October 5. 1899.
In answer to your queries concern
ing the population of the island and
the lack of a sufficient number of la
bOrers to cultivate "a crop of a million
tons, would say that Notwithstanding
the great loss of life incident to the
last war, we consider the population
can be estimated today at very near
one million and half inhabitants. As
regards laborers. undoubtedly there
will be a great scarcity Of them when
our crops become normalized again,
and now would be the time to begin
thinking seriously about some kind of
remedy for that evil In the near flu
ture, in order not to be caught urpre-
pared, as otherwise 1t would be GER
tain check to the progress of this coun-
try.
The best emigration would be that of
white people from your country and
Southern Europe, and even. If neces-
sary. certain number of Chinese
.isYl, ha a cd NJ he. at l,x..
than resorting to the importation OF
negroes from the Southern States. In
the present condition of affairs here
such an emigration would be a bane to
this country, as we have already too
many colored people in comparison
with the number of the white popula-
ton.
II we are not mistaken. few years
ago a number of Coolies from East
India were introduced in some of the
English and French Antilles and gave
satisfaction. They are a mild race
and. though not so strong as the ne
groes, quite accustomed to work under
a sun even hotter than ours They
might perhaps be brought under con-
tract through one of the English ports
in India, in families.
1t is to be expected that with the
improved sanitary conditions and the
decrease of sickness in the island, part
of the white emigration from Spain
and Italy to South America might be
directed to this country, provided fa-
vorable opportunities should be offered
them. and to attain this end all the ex-
ertions and fOrethought of the Govern
ment i'm charge should incline, so as 10

The score OF the second game was
smaller and more even than that of the
first, and on that account the game was
more interesting and exciting. Notwith-
standing the fact that fewer hits and runs
were made than in the previous game, the
second was much slower than the first,
Big Bill Staples pitched for the visitors,
and though he did great deal better than
Cy Mulkey, the Buffaloes gave Bill dose

as big one. The first two innings the
Buffaloes didn't get even one hit, but In
the third they opened up on Staples ana

TEXAS LEAGUE


Every one of the 1850 spectators who
eaw the game yesterday afternoon at
League Park between Houston and Austin
undoubtedly got his moneys worth. Not
only did the Buffaloes walk away with
both games, but they played bail of such
a quality as would be worth walking miles
to see. 1t certainly did the heart Of every
loyal Houston rooter good to witness such
magnificent games as the local team put
UP yesterday. One error in two games,
and that one an eXcusable one and count
ing for nothing is splendid record and
one that any club might be proud Of Both
games were characterized by the splendid
fielding and heavy and timely batting OF
the locals.
The Buffaloes made a number of pho
nomenal plays and really played National
League ball. Every one of the team did
their best and they all played together,
and the result was two of the best games
ever seen here for a long, long time.
Houston II, Austin 2.
Cy. Mulkey was in the box for the Wis.
ttors in the first game and the Bunaloes
took kindly to his delivery and what they
did to poor Cy in those nine innings was
something awful The Buffaloes got at
Mulky from the very start and kept up
their heavy batting until the close of the
game, making nineteen hits in all. The
Bufaloes made eleven runs in this game
and they were all made by clean, har1
hitting. The Senators gave Mulkey good
support, making only two errors and only
one of them counting for run. Seven
of the runs made by the local team were
earned, which shows the extent of their
hitting. McMackln pitched for Houston
and this clever south paw was in fine con-
dition and the Senators could do but little
with his speedy curves. Nine was the
sum total of hits made by the Senators.
Smiling Sammy is one of the best twirlers
in the league. He is a good steady pitcher
and there is nothing erratic about him. In
the fifth inning with two men on bases
and no one out and the bases full with
two men gone the Senators succeeded in
making only one run. The support given
McMackin could not have been improved
upon. The Buffaloes made not an error
and played remarkably fine game.
Three hits a base on balls and a hit by
pitched ball gave the Buffaloes three runs
in the first inning. In the second two
bunt hits and three good, hard clean raps
netted two more scores. In the eighth
five safe hits none of the scratchy kind,
resulted in four more runs for the locals.
Two runs were added to the score in the
eighth on a hit by pitched ball and two
singles The Senators made a run in the
third and another in the fourth and both
were earned
