CATTLE IN COLOMBIA.
Taeir Owners Making Haste to
Ship Their Herd to Cuba.

Washington, d. c., March 90
Owners Of cattle in Colombia, says
Consul Hanabergh at Cartagena,
in a report to the State Depart
ment, are making all possible
efforts to ship their herds to Cuba
and other countries, preferring to
pay the export of 1872 per head
rather than take the chances of
having their stock pass into the
hands of the government. Dur
ing January last 300 cattle were
shipped from Colombia to Cuba
aud the consul says that these
shipments probably will continue
for some time.
