BIG SUGAR COMBINE
Is TO BE LAUNCHED

New York, March 23--The World
says What may be the first step in
the consolidation of the various large
sugar interests in the island of Cuba,
or the purchase of these interests by
American capitalists has been taken.
The Chappara Sugar company of Cuba,
with offices in this city, has placed
contracts in this country aggregating
over $2,000,900 for the equipment of the
largest sugar plant ever built in Cuba
The company. of which eX-Congress-
man Hawley of Texas is president, and
in which H. H. HowelsOn 81 Co, and
Theodore Havemeyer are largely inter
ested. has acquired $4,000 acres of land
in the eastern portion of Cuba Near
ly 10000 acres of this land are under
cultivation, while on the rest the work
of planting sugar cane Will be imme-
diately begun This enormous planting
is without precedent in the history of
Cuba
With the exception of 500 acres in
the immediate vicinity of the factory
location, 10000 acres under growth are
being divided among colonists who Gull
tivate their fields and deliver the cane
to the mill for a return of 4 per cent.
A railroad thirty miles long viii be
constructed on the estate and grinding
operations are to begin next December,
by which time it is believed some
$4,000 tons of cane will be ready to be
handled. The mills will have a daily
capacity for grinding of 5000 tons of
cane. Power will be derived from a
steam plant of s. 900 horse power.
