dred and fifty million cigars a year
there has not been sufficient tobacco
raised in Cuba of late to supply the
home demand. Everybody remembers
Weyler's celebrated decree of 49, for
bidding the expectation of Cuban to
bacco, and how the insurgents got even
with him by burning the crops, green
and growing, and all the stored tobac-
co they could lay hands so. 1t Is esti-
mated that more than forty million
pounds of the very best tobacco In the
world was thus wantonly destroyed
The Marquis of Tenerffe, who seldom
acted without delberation had his
reasons for the order. He knew that
the war was largely carried on by Gu
ban cigar makers in Tampa and Key
West, every one of whom gave literally
from his weekly wage to the cause of
national liberty. To prohibit the ex-
port of the leaf would throw all these
men out of employment and deprive
the insurgents of an important source
of revenue. Weyier also believed that
dealers and manufacturers in the Uni
ted States would purchase all the to-
bacco on hand in Cuba and force the
Havana factories to close And so it
happened; Americans did buy up all
they could get before the decree, pur-
posely delayed in the execution, took
effect. The shrewd captain-general
had private schemes of his own to
serve in the same connections and he
served them so well that in spite of
starving Cuba and impoverished Spain,
he left the island a multi-milionaire.
Under pretence of some diplomatic
transactions between Washington and
Madrid, tobacco continued to be ex-
ported by the thousands of bales as
long as any remained on the island, in
the face of the prohibative decree, and
on every pound of 1t Weyler pocketed
liberal commission. After the planta-
tiOns We're ruined, the great factories of
Havana, some of which employed from
seven hundred to a thousand men and
girls, had to shut up for want of the
leaf to work on; the Florida cigar
towns were filled with hundreds of
idle, half-starved Cubans, and the in
surgent army felt keenly it's loss of
revenue from that source. The propri-
etor of la Honrades'' told me that
before the decree MS FACTORY MADE up
five thousand pounds Of tobacco every
day, the average daily output being
sixty thousand cigars. 1t nearly broke
his heart to have to play into Weyler's
hands, SO to say, by discharging his en-
poyes, knowing that all would suffer
and many actually starve to death, but
what else could he do, being himself
face to face with restitution? After
the insurgents had destroyed the plan
tatiOns and stored tobacco, little con-
tinued to be raised, perhaps one-tenth
of the usual crop in the back yards of
fortified villages and in the zonas del

planting of gardens to sustain the re-

cording to the class of leaf and the rep
utation of the vega, Some years, too,
the pests that infest the plant make
sad havoc, and at best the vegueroi' s
life is spent in warfare that knows no
truce The Palmist may have had the
Cuban vivijajua in mind when he adj
vised the sluggard to go to the ant, con-
slider her ways and be wise. Certainly
the huge, native ant, the vivijajua, is
the most industrious thing in this lazy
land Of tomorrow. 1t is to tobacco
what the locust is to wheat only hun
dred times more SO. When its vista
tons assume the proportions of a
plague, the Cuban way of checking it
is to go in solemn procession to the
nearest church and implore the kindly
assistance of San Marcial. who is
known to be the special patron of the
vegueroes. When that fails, as truth
compels us to admit it has been known
to do-cremation is the last resort, and
that unfortunately destroys the plant
as well as its pest, for the eggs in the
soil must be sterilzed. When the
planter has watched his tobacco grow
up to sturdy plants six or eight feet
high, it is discouraging, to say the
least, to see them suddenly droop and
fade. He cuts into the stems of a few
of them, several inches below the
ground, and finds fragile lace-work
of fibre where healthy cells full of sap
should be-the work of the Industrious

AS everybody cannot keep hotel, and
choruses are born, not made-so it re-
quires special talent to be a successful
tobacco-grower. The majority of for
eigners who undertake it in Cuba, if
they do not actually come to grief, at
tain small measure of success. The
Cuban vegueroes claim that their gen.
ius for picking tobacco properly is an
hereditary gift with which no acquired
skill can compete. Their fingers seem
to know by instinct just which buds
must be nipped off and leaves cut, to
regulate the height of the plants and
the strength or mildness of the tobacco.

the leaves into four classes: first the

best because they have come directly
under the influence of sun and dew.
The second "degchito''-growsl

includes the smaller and defaced leaves.
The fourth. or "injuriado" are those
growing nearest the root, sure to be
stained by the soil and more or less
eaten by worms and insects. In each
of the above mentioned classes there
are again several grades, all with
names somewhat longer than the leaf, |
such as injuriado de reposo Gnjured
leaves that have been restored), desce-
chitoes segundos, etc, The trade dis
tinSuishca these grades and classes by
numbers which to the expert suggest
the names. Connoisseurs readily dis
tinguish the choicest qualities when
dried, and even in many cases the
vegas which produced them, by their
tintings of rich brown and freedom
from discoloration. The test of the
finest is in the smoking; cigars made
from it burn freely, with a white-ash
which will remain intact at the end
until "the weed" is half consumed.
A thirty-three-acre vega should pro-
duce ten thousand pounds of tobacco
year. Of which five hundred pounds
may be ''desecho," or best. Probably
two thousand pounds are 'desechito,"
or second; three thousand "libre," and
so on. 1t is impossible to estimate the
profit, because the price per bale varies

the natives there We're chewing tobac-
co, masticating, but now swallowing,

accompanied Columbus on his second
voyage to Cuba described the habit of
snuff -taking-how the Indians dried and
pulverized the weed and then drew it
up into the nose with distressful sneez-

was making similar discoveries-only
the Aztecs called their plant hycjetl
and considered it the sacred emblem of
the goddess Chichuacohuatl or human
serpent. In Mexican mythology this
divinity was the first mother of chill
dren, the Aztec Eve, and in the legends
concerning her one may. trace resem-
blance to our own erring ancestress who
brought the race of men to grief
through disobedience. AS the American
continent was further explored, it be-
came evident that everywhere the con-
sumption of tobacco, especially by
smoking, was a universal and immemo-
rial usage among the tribes of the
western hemisphere, in many cases con-
nected with the most solemn religious
ceremonies.
Though tobacco grows best in the now
famous Vuelto Abajo of Cuba the
neighborhood of Havana claims the dis
tinction of the first plantations, estab-
lished by the Spaniards about the mid
die of the sixteenth century The in
dustry soon grew to such magnitude
that the crown claimed the monopoly,
and kept IT until the recent war. From
the first, the pipe of peace in Cuba
has been a promoter Of instructions.
During the previous century at least
three revolutions grew out of the visits
of the crown inspector, who annually
made the rounds of the plantations, to
fix the price upon the crops and see to
it that Spain got the ultimate drop Of
blood-money. Sometimes the tobacco
growers refused to accept the offered
terms and like the strikers of modern
times would not allow others to do what
they themselves declined. destroying
