"A LINE OF LITTLE FARMS,

Santiago de Cuba, May 9.-Colonel
Whitside, commanding the department
of Santiago and Puerto Principe, re-
turned from his first inspection of the
southern portion of his department.

porous sugar plantations which have
produced this season over $4,000, 900
pounds of sugar This is small frac-
ton of the capacity of these plantations,
all of which are preparing to plant
large areas of cane this year. All the
operating plantations on the Manzan-
lilo coast are owned by Americans and
English.

went by ambulance to Bayamo, the
historic old ruins founded in 1921, once
city of 80, 900 people, now inhabited by
probably 5000 persons and garrisoned
by one troop of the Tenth cavalry.
The road is an excellent one at this
season of the year and has been great
lily improved by the Americans. 1t
passes through the richest agricultural
portion of the province.
/. Now the road is skirted by contin-
luous line of little farms and filed with
Cubans carrying fruits and vegetables
to the market. The tobacco crop is
Immense, considering the time since
the floods. 1t is estimated that 1885,
900 pounds will be marketed this sum-
mer at Manzanillo. No government
aid whatever is given or needed, except
employment upon public works which
are being pushed by the officers of the
Tenth regiment.
| Two large schooners were being load
ed with mahogany and cedar logs for
European ports. Immense quantities
of these valuable woods are shipped

yanced 60 to 100 per Cont.
Washington, May 5.-Representa-
tives of the American Publishers asso-
citation have presented memorial to
the senate finance committee formally
asking that some relief be afforded on
account of the higher price of paper.
The delegation said the association
represented $4,000 papers. No particu-
lar legislation was advocated. The
delegation was received by Senator
Allison, acting chairman in the absence
of Senator Aldrich. The resolution
recited that the price of printing paper
used by newspapers has increased from
60 to 100 per cent without reason or
warrant to be found in the conditions
of the industry, which was believed to
be the working of a trust. The asso-
citation appealed to congress to inquire
into the conditions complained of, to
the end that suitable legislation might
be provided to remedy these conditions.
AS newspapers are sold at fixed price,
the resolution says, publishers cannot
put the increased cost of the paper on
the consumer, and in many instances
this increased cost means the contisca-
ton of profits and in others it creates
actual loss.
A copy CT the resolution was present
ed by the delegation to the house ways
and means committee.
