RAILROADS IN CUBA.
A Canadian Syndicate Proposes &c
Get Control OF All the Mileage
and Make It Into One System.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March %
President T. G. Shaughnessy, of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. accOmpa.
MED by Directors H. s. McDougall
r. B. Angus, and c. r. HOsmer. are
here en- route home from Cuba. While
here it was learned that these mag
mates have been in Cuba inspecting
the railroads of the island with a view
to obtaining control Of all the rail
road mileage ard consolidating it in.
to one system.
Sir William NanHorne, of Montreal
it is said, has been comforting with
Secretary Root about the proposed
deal, and President Shaughnessy
thinks it will be effected. In the event
the deal is consummated, it is pro
posed to extend railroad lines through
rich agricultural and mineral regions
of the island, to fit up resorts for
tourists, equip roads with new and
modern rolling stock, and quicken the
schedules.
Havana, March 26.-GOv. Gen. Wood
has recently had interviews with per.
sons of influence who have strenu-
uously urged the taxation of yalua.
bic properties, rather than on each
bag of sugar, as it is manufactured
Those who hold this view contend
that under the present system imped-
iments are throw in the way of pro-
ductiOn.
They point out that many valuable
estates have been lying idle and I'M
productive for years, some even hav-
ing complete sugar plants. The own
ers, who are rich men, are living in
PariA Madrid and other European
cities, quite untaxed for their prop
erty in Cuba.
Gen. Wood feels that if these prop
critics are taxed their owners will
be forced either to sell or TO make
them productive.
