LIVE STOCK IN CUBA.
AN INDUSTRY WHICH DESERVES sYs
TEMATlc DEVELOPMENT.

Rich and Extensive Ranges In Puer-
to Principe-yativc Cattle Rescm-
bIe old Time Texans and msy PC
similarly Improved.
Especial correspondence.l
HAVANA, Feb. 5.--ID estimating the
resources OF Cuba the live stock indus
try assumes greater relative impor-
tance than anticipated. Stock raising
Is an occupation IN which extremes
meet. In primitive way It requires
less brains and money than any other
Industry, and In It's highest state Of
development the best experience and
unlimited capital find occupation. II
Is almost needless TO say that In Cuba
primitive conditions prevail. II Abel
himself were TO come TO Cuba, he
would find stock raising very much as
he found 1t when the family emigrated
from Eden.
The best stock ranges Of Cuba are
In the province of Puerto Principe and
cover on area Of some $4,000 square
miles. II Is vast wilderness, less
than 1000 square miles being utilized
at the present time, The country is
mountainous, interspersed with valleys
and tablelands. The elevated plateaus
are covered with nutrltive native
grasses. which would be the envy of
American rqnchmep who herd their
| focks In the scmlarid sections Of the
western plains. The climate is all in
favor of Cuba. Cattle thrive here with
as LITTLE attention as the LATEST COW.
boys choose to bestow upon them. and
| no losses are sustained through bliz-
yards. Before the wars which devas-
tated the island large herds were com
mon, but the cattle have mostly been
killed. Those that remain are Of
! scru5by varieties and indeed the quail
ity Of Cuban cattle has never been any
thing to brag of. They resemble the
tough Texas longhorns of former days.
The Cuban cattle industry has not
yet reached the stage where animals
are fattened for the market. They are
sold as they come from the range, thin
and tough. Oxen bring about $40 a
head and ordinary cattle 25 per cent
less. Calves are worth $40 or there
about. 1t must not be concluded that
the climate impairs the temper of Gu
ban cattle, for the flercest fighting
bulls that ever entertained aristocratic
spectators at Harana come from the
mountain regions of Puerto Principe.
Primitive as are the methods of stock
raising in Cuba. the methods Of pre-
pairing 1t for eating are equally so. A
popular way of curing beef Is to salt
1t and put It In the sun to dry. The

Five BritOnS to One BOer
All Along the War
Line
ROBERTS GREAT STRATEGY
II Made the Capture Of Beth Win
burg and SmaIdeeI
Easy
BRITISH ARE ABLE TO WAIT
Their Front and Strong Positions
SaiC in knowledge That Flank
inc Columns viii Advance

London. May S.--The Beers are
everywhere retiring before the British,
except on the Natal frontier and at
Mafeking. TO the inner circle OF their
deIenses. They appear determined not
to fight until the Kroonstad hills are
reached.
Lord Roberts is expected to do an
other 40 or 90 miles and then to walt
for a time in order TO bring up sup
plies and to repair the railway. There
are one or two hints in the dispatches
from the front that he may rest for a
few days at Smaldeel.
Gen. French's 10000 cavalry have not
been mentioned in the official or unof-
fetal dispatches for four days 1t Is
by no means likely that he is idle, and
the conjecture is that he is either de-
touring toward Kroonstad or raiding
the Ladybrand district.
Fifteen thousand British are now op-
Grating on the western frontier OF the
Free State AS the deadlock at War
renton has been broken and the Beers
are retreating. there Is nothing formid-
able except distance between Warren
ton and Mafeking. The most hopeful
advices from Mafeking, on April %,
were that the garrison would be barely
able TO hold out for a month At that
time the fever was spreading.
According to advlces from Maseru,
Basutoland, several thousand Free
Staters are north Of Ladybrand. where
they have collected great herds. This
district Is rich In food for men and
horses, and the Beers seem resolved
not to move northward, but to be pre-
pairing to resist where they are. II
they are let alone they will menace
the line OF communications after the
main British army has passed into the
Transvaal
The movement that eliminated In
the capture OF Winburg and SmaldeeI
was part of great general movement
extending from Gen. Hunter. on the
west to Gen. Rundle, on the east.
Lord Roberts admirable strategy re-
suited in placing everywhere five
British 10 one Boer Out of what ap-
peared the inextricable confusion of
divisions and brlgades order was
quickly evolved. and the Beers were
compelled to meet Lord Roberts under
unfavorable conditions.
What Is more important is that the
British are now able to wait Their
front and strong positions are safe 10
the knowledge that their fianking COLI
umns will advance and outflank the
Beers.
Saturday the Beers held a really
strong position. from which. earlier
In the campaign. they could only have
been forced by hard fighting Gem

EFFORT TO HOODWINk
UNCLE SAM FAILED
BredeII and Taylor Engraved the Latest
Counterfeit Twenty Dollar Note and
Brother of Latter Passed Them
SECRET SERVICE AGENTS
DO QUICK AND CLEVER WORK

Philadelphia, May 8.--Another chap
ter in the famous Lancaster counter
letting conspiracy was made public
yesterday by the arrest of Harry Tay-
Ior, charged with passing the counter
1eit $40 notes found in circulation last
week. Taylor was given a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Ed
munds and committed in default OF
$4,000 bail for trial. Taylor admit
ted having passed all the spurious
notes of the Manning head denomina-
tion recently discovered in this city,
and his confession brought out a re-
markable attempt to hoodwink the
government.
Harry Taylor Is brother of Arthur
Taylor, who is now awaiting sentence
Tor having engraved the cigar revenue
stamps and the famous counterfeit
Monroe head $100 silver certificate,
which resulted in the arrest of Jacobs
and kendig, the Lancaster cigar manu-
faeturers, and Ellery p. Ingham and
Harvey X. hewitt, formerly United
States district attorney and assistant,
respectively.
Chief Wilkie and Operative Burns,
OF the secret service, accompanied by
United States District Attorney Beck,
visited the county prison after Taylor's
arrest and had an interview with Ar
thur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bredell,
who assisted Taylor in engraving the
counterfeit cigar stamps and the Mon
roe 800 note. These two admitted
having engraved the Manning head $40
notes. and said they had induced Har-
~ Taylor to circulate them. About
$50 notes were struck off, and Of this
number Taylor had passed in the
neighborhood Of As. The remainder,
he said, he had destroyed.
Chief Wilhie, in speaking Of the ar
rest. said.
This was a scheme on the part of
Taylor and Bredell to bring the gov
ernmcnt to terms and was the result
OF the advice Of some disreputable law
yer. The idea was TO wait until near
the time for sentencing Taylor and
Bredell and then for the latter to in
form the government that they could
furnish them with plates of which the
secret service knew nothing. Their
object was to secure a lighter SEN
tence."
Chief Wilkie said the lawyer in ques-
tion was probably guilty of conspiracy
to obstruct justice, but would not state
whether any other arrests would fol-
low.
