Cape Hatteras Storms.
New York POst-)

According to Professor GarriOtt. chief
of the fOrecasting division Of the weather
bureau the record Of the loss Of ships
and lives entered annually against the
treacherOus coast along Cape HatteraS
is not caused by unusually severe storms
in that vicinity, as is generally supposed.
The records of years show that there is a
greater wind velocity on the average at
Chicago than at Cape Hatteras, In fact,
Chicago is the windiest point in the cOun-
try The very severe weather OF Hat
teras is due to the fact that it lies in the
track of what are called the southwest
storms: that is, storms that advance from
the southwest and move nOTtheastWard.
They are called nOrtheasters on the At
lantic coast and are the seYerest Of
storms. But Cape Hatteras is a danger
Gus pace for shipping, more because Of
its dangerous coast than because OF the
storms which pass in that vicinity. The
wind velocity at Block island, Narragan-
sett. and other places along the New
England coast is just as high as at Hat
teraS, and they are as much exposed as
HatteraS to the wind force Their coast
IS not so dangerous, however, because
there are convenient and safe harbors.
Vessels off Hatteras are so FAR removed
from harbOr Of refuge that the masters
have no chance but to run with the
Storm They have no places TO seek safety.
At Hatteras the wind has greater sweep
in almost every direction to make high
sea Along the New England coast,
where the gales reach the average We
locity of Hatteras, dangerous seas are
not possible because Of nearneSs OF other
land.

General MassO Pays General
Wood Great Compliment.
CAUSE NEVER BRIGHTER
POLITICIANS OF ALL FACTIONS
WERE PRESENT.
General Wood Seems to Have Gained
Confidence of All the fractional
Leaders of the Cuban People
Many Letters of Regret Were
Read.

Havana, Jan. THE dinner given in
honor Of General Masso last evening
at the Tacon theatre was a great sue
cess. Generals Wood Ludlow and
Chaffee were present. as was also Gen
eral Gomez. Senior Gown, the former
autOnOmist leader; Senior Zayas and
Others spoke. Gown was loudly cheered.
At this banquet, for the first time
since the American occupation began
Cubans of all shades of political opin-
ion came together for social purposes
Expressions OF regret for inability to
attend were received from prominent
Cubans in all parts Of the island.
General MasSO, in responding to a
toast to his health, said: The cause
Of Cuba libre vas never brighter than
now. President Mckinley, in sending
General Wood. chose the only man to
whom the confidence of ali classes Of
Cubans could be given. It was General
Wood who, when a former governor
urged President Mckinley that it would
be dangerous to remove a single AmeTi-
can soldier from the island. urged the
reduction of the military in his own
province by one-haIf.
Nor do we forget that the province
of Santiago was admittedly the most
difficult to govern. General Wood ad-
ministered the affairs Of that province
in a manner eliciting the plaudits Of
the civilized world. He did not truckle
to faction nor to his own cOuntrymen,
but he gained the love and confidence
of the entire community by his splen-
did work his fOrtitude and manage
ment of affairs, and his evident desire
to give the Cubans every opportunity
to prove themselves worthy Of self
government"

TOBACCO.
Facts Not Generally Known About
the Seductive Weed.
New York SUM-


1t may surprise many Who enjoy the
fine flavor of the Egyptian cigarette TO
know that tobacco raising has been
prohibited by law in Egypt since 1890.
This drastic measure was adopted. cur
iously enough to maintain the high rep
utatiOn of Egypt's cigarettes. 1t was
discovered about eleven years ago that
many of the smaller cigarette-makers
were realizing large profit by mixing
the inferior tobacco of the country with
Turkish tobacco and selling cigarettes
made Of this mixture at the usual high
price commanded by the Egyptian pro-
duct. 1t had won a place among the
luXurieS Of the world, but it was in
danger Of losing it's pre-eminence
through the deterioration Of the pro-
duct. AT first the government sought
to mitigate the evil by restricting the
acreage devoted to tobacco raising, but
it was finally decided TO stop the culti-
walton of the weed entirely. Today not
a pound of tobacco is raised on the s.,
800, 600 acres Of land under cultivation
in Egypt In fact, there is nothing
Egyptian about Egyptian cigarettes,
except that they are made in Egypt.
The tobacco comes from Turkey, the
paper from Austria, Germany or Italy,
and most of the labor employed is
creek, except Tor the common DFanuSi
which are consumed in Egypt, and are
made by the natives. The greater part
of the trade is centered in Cairo, where
at least 5000 persons are dependent
for their daily bread upon this indus
try. OF course the government derives
considerable revenue from the tax it
imposes upon tobacco imports.
All American travellers in north
Europe know that they have to pay
good round price for inferior tobacco
products The best use to make Of
European-g grown tobacco is to keep it
for the pipe, but many dealers persist
in turning it into inferior grades Of
cigars. The so-called Havana cigars,
mostly manufactured in Antwerp and
sold widely throughout Belgium, are
chiefly made of leaf grown in West
Flanders, and are inferior to most of
our domestic cigars sold at half the
price. In Germany there are many

factories turning German gToWn to-
bacc0 into cigars. cigarettes. SNUFF and
smoking and chewing tobacco. Some
Americans say it requires a special edu-
cation to learn to like the German pro
ducts.
No one has yet discovered what the
properties Of climate or soil are that
give peculiar excellence to the tobacco
leaf grown in certain regions. Tobacco
grows well in all parts of cuba, and the
soil Of the tobacco plantations is most
" composed of calcarous rocks. but
why is it that the leaf grown along the
southern slope of the Cordillera dc las
Organos, in Pinar del Rio, at the west
end Of the island, is the finest in ths
world? Nobody knows. but the fact IS
that the best tobacco Of this famous
Nuel5a AbajO region is almost worth
its weight in gold, and is reserved for
those who can afford 10 make the Use
Of tobacco a dear-bought luxury. Be
cause Of the excellence Of its leaf, Cuba
is the most famous tobacco-growing re-
gion, and many imagine that It is the
chief center of tobacco production. The
Cuban product. however, in the best of
times, is very small in comparison with
that of several other countries. The
United States is one of the greatest to-
baccO-grOWing countries in the world.
over 20. coo tons Of dried leaves are
prepared every year in this country,
$50 coo tons in India. about 100 900 tons
in Russia, and $4,000 tons in Austria
Hungary. Mr.. Gollan, the British con-
sui general at Havana, says that the
normal tobacco crop of Cuba averages
only about 81, coo tons a year. Even
France. in the valley of the GarOnne
and in Algeria, far surpasses Cuba in
amount of tobacco production. and so
do SumatTa, the Eastern Archipelago
and the Philippines. In 1894, before the
internal troubles largely reduced the
exports of the Philippines, these
islands sent abroad 1897 tons OF to-
baccO, and 600 cigars.
All countries make tobacco an i'm
pOrtant source of revenue, and in some
lands, most cOnspicuOuSly in France,
Italy, Austria Hungary and Spain, the
tobacco trade is q government mOnop-
oily, and no one is permitted to engage
in it unless he pays well for the privl-
lege. IN Spain, for instance, one COM
pany pays to the government a very
large sum for the monopoly Of manu-
featuring and selling tobacco in that
country. Every cigar store in the ccun-
try is owned by this company. II has
eleven manufactures in different parts
of Spain, in which it employs nearly
10000 girls. 1t maintains nearly $4,000
cigar stores, and it is estimated that
$4,000 families are supported by the
money diSbursed on rs payrolls. me
sales of the company amount to about
SS5, 900. 900 a year. Barcelona spends
SIS, 600 000 q year for tobacco, and Ma
drid comes next with about 8, 500 600 a
year. Though Cuba was a Spanish col
ony, Havana cigars have always been
as expensive in Spain ms in the United
States, but all other kinds are some
what cheaper than IN this country.

the books far too handsomely got up for
