LETTER FROM CUBA.
Wonderful Changes for the
Better In the Sunny Isle.

Columbia Barracks, Cuba, Sun.
day, Nov. IL, l900.-Editor Eagle
and many friends who are the read
ers of your paper, who have asked
me TO write them through the
paper As had a trip over the
island ] thought there could be no
harm in letting them know what
| thought about the place and the
country in general.
! left the post with several others
and travelled with them to Trinidad
and after they lef. me there went
to the hills where could look at
the Trinidad valley. I never saw
such a rich country in my life.
From Trinadad | went to Cieniue
gos where | spent some time in
looking over the city and inyesti
eating the industrial conditions
was agreeably surprised. Bust
ness is good at that place and is
steadily improving.
lterleaving Cieniuegos ! visited
Santa Clara, Sagna, Caibarien To-
bacco district OF Remedies, Pala-
cetas, Camajuana and other places
of less importance. On every hand
| was struck with the general pros.
perity of the country. Great i'm.
proyements were to be observed on
all sides and | was told by some
who knew that there had been
great improvement made in the
last year, but the people are still
struggling to recover from the
effects of the war ! could appre-
ciaIe though hardly realize the
magnitude of the change. never
saw anything likeil in my life.
The tobacco crop has been good
and while il didn't bring the prices
which were expected, they We're
'fsir and the people are Satisfied
an have plenty of money.
The money which has been cir
cuIated from this crop alone has
ri iced a sufficient sum in the hands
Of the people and they are all in q
position TO take care of themselves
and a great many more could find
employment in that section OF
Cuba.
The people are industrious and
on every hand extensive prepare
tons are being made for next years
crop, which is put out during
the months Of October and No.
vember.
The acreage next year will be
much larger than il was this season.
Sugar cane is the great industry
Of this part Of the island and it is
astonishing to see the great in
crease in the acreage Of cane.
Large cane fields are seen on every
hand and the acreage another year
is to be much greater.
As an evidence of the confidence
in which New York business men
look upon the situation here it is
only necessary 10 refer TO what
is being done at Clmaiuani, where
Solomon e Company Of New York
are completing one Of the largest
tobacco warehouses on the island.
The warehouse will cost fully
$4,000. There are several other
smaller warehouses being erected
there, and in all parts Of the TO-
bacco district are large escopados
where tobacco is being selected,
and where employment is given to
a great many people.

THE ST. LOUIS SITUATION.

If public opinion in st. Louis has not yet
reached the point of demanding that public
order in that city shall be restored by the en-
ployment Of whatever measure of force may be
required for the purpose it is hard 10 imagine
what condition of affairs would lead to such
determination. The fourth week of the street
railroad strike is ending. the first day of the
strike began. with violent demonstrations of
contempt for the law. Seven lives have been
sacrificed 10 the impudent assumption that men
vino are dissatisfied with their wages have a
right TO prevent other men from taking their
places by any methods which may be found
effective for the purpose, while many have been
injured large amount of property has been
destroyed, incalculable loss and discomfort have
been inflicted on the community and minor acts
OF turbulence have been incessant
As we have said before, this strike has been
an exception 10 the general rule of labor troubles
In that from the very outset the strikers have
been lawbreakers. Usually violence is not re-
sorted 10 until other more or less suitable re-
sources have been exhausted. In this instance
it appears TO have been the principal feature Of
the original programme. Usually also II sisnf-
fes that the case of the strikers is hopeless or
at least it makes their case hopeless by imme-
diately enlisting all the forces needed to nut il
down We do not know whom the blame
chleDy rests Tor neglect TO restore and preserve
the peace in ST. Louis but it is evident to all
the rest Of the country, whether or not the fact
has yet been fully comprehended there, that In
trifng with a disgraceful and dangerous situa-
ton the public authorities have gained nothing
and lost much. However well equipped for
rioting and reckless of consequences the strik-
ers and their friends may have been from the
first, it is scarcely possible TO suppose that firm
ness in opposing them could have been as costly
as tenderness has proved 10 be-
After far too long delay the Sheriff of the
county summoned a large number of citizens TO
his assistance, and has armed about five hun
dred Of them with shotguns. Whether at this late
day the rioters, so largely recruited and SO long
encouraged by the infrm temper and the made
quate conduct Of the authorities. will submit To
any such display Of force remains to be seen
Doubtless they are taking comfort in the In
glorious desertion of many citizens who. having
been called 10 his support by the Sheriff. have
away 10 other cities TO avoid a service
which they are apparently afraid to perform.
For the sake Of st. Louis's good name it is to be

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The last month of the old crop and fiscal year
has been reached, and under conditions on the
whole highly satisfactory. Swift progress of
British arms in South Africa clears away fears
about the monetary future, and such fears
usually lock up several times as much money
as would be actually required in a marked re-
vival Of industries. Many millions will be
wanted for rebuilding In South Africa when
that work is reached, and for Americans 1t is
not bad to know that a good share of the money
will be paid to American works for machinery
and TOOLS equipments and supplies. The crop
year ends with more persistent June demand
for breadstuffs and cotton than was thought
possible in January. The Treasury year ends
with great satisfaction and the industrial year
with rapid adjustment of prices to the new
conditions which are necessary to large and
profitable traffic
Men of weight and substance have set them
selves to straighten out labor tanges earlier
than usual this year. and in some important
lines they have good prospects. The favora BILE
dispatch about the Amalgamated Iron and Steel
workers would be of the highest Importance
there some reason to think it's con-
illusions premature but it is at least clear that
the outlook in that quarter is hopeful In
the building trades the successive strikes at
different points clearing away many OBJ
staces, although at Chicago, ST Louis and some
other places peace is not in sight. 1t remains
true that demagogues who have pecunary or
political ends to will do much mischief
in Presidential year if the wage earning
millions do not themselves exercise conserv-
atism.
The dispatch stating that the Illionis Steel
Works have closed may mean as to actual bust
nothing beyond the repairs customary at
this season; but II so it means as TO the
good good faith of any who gave out
such statement for publication. The works are
practically their whole rail capacity for the
other branches. But there is in nearly all de-
partments of the iron and steel business great
need to reach without delay lower but stable
prices for materials. Naturally. those who want
prices of finished products held up as far as
possible urge closing of furnaces enough IN
keep Bessemer iron scarce, but the consuming
works have also power TO close until supplies
are cheaper. Thus far Eastern Bessemer and
anthracite have declined to $21 and 500; local
coke at Chicago has also declined, and there are
indications that sheets and hoops may move
with plates, bars. wire and nails toward lower
figures. while Bessemer pig at Pittsburg. and
rails, structural shapes and tnplates are still
held without change.
What are euphemistcally called irregularities
in prices of textile products have gone So far
that the entire output OF some works has been
sold out at prices - to 90 per cent below those
named early in the season. Perhaps only a mi
nority has declined so much and quotations of
staple goods have not changed, but in others the
yielding has been general and important. Nor
does 1t mean misfortune when cotton falls from
