there was little 70 be found other than ruin and
wreck and desoIatfon. On the larger planta-
ttons whose owners had money or credit left.
some little attempt had been made to resume
cultivation of the soil. A few OF the smaller
farmers had crept out from the towns and made
ptiful beginnings OF new life on their desolated
lands. But these were mere specks on the land
scape; there were thousands Of acres overgrown
with weeds and tall grass with here and there
the walls Of ruined farnhOuses cleaning through
the Iuxuriant vegetation. like skeletons which
nature was trying TO hide with a screen Of vines.
This was the condition OF a. year and a half
ago Cuba OF to-day shows vast Improvement.
but the island is not yet prosperous. Foreign
capital has come in. but much more IS needed to
put life into dormant industries The Cuoans
have neither money OF their own nor credit for
loans consequently the reconstruction OF the
island must be slow.
TOBACCO AND SUGAR CROPS.
OF course. Cuba's prosperity must always de-
pend upon the success OF the planters. Before
the price Of sugar fell millions Of dollars had been
made by Spanish and Cuban planters. and the
industry is now by means Improbable.
big crop is expected this year; in fact, some OF
the planters estimate the yield will be 100000
tons which viii be wonderful gain over the
last few years. Last year the cane yielded only
2s3.651 tons. and the production of the six pre-
ceding years was as follows: 1894 1854. pa
tons: 1895 1OO42 264 tons 1896 225.221 tons;
1897 212O51 tons; 1S9s. 3O5543 tons; 1899.
335 66S tons
The estimate for this year shows that last
year the few planters who had money extended
their paintings. and some others were able To
borrow money to replant some part Of their
devastated fields. Money call or advanced
on securities brings from s 70 10 per cent. ex-
cept in the summer season. IL then goes out
In small amounts at from s To : per cent But
it is only with great difficulty that loans are
secured plantations and other property. and
the interest charged is seldom below Il and
frequently reaches - per cent. A few planters
have borrowed money these terms. sacrt-
fcing all hope of profit the crop for the
sake OF getting some part of their estates into
productive shape. A man who has made some
study of the situation says that certainly not
more than one-ffth and probably not more than
one-tenth of the sugar land of Cuba is under
cultivation, Money is sadly needed for the re-
construction of damaged and ruined "centrals"

STREET RAILROADS.

The ancient system Of street railways is
dergoing great transformation. IT has passed
into the hands Of a foreign syndicate which
is supplanting the old method Of mule traction
with electricity, and is replacing the old fash
toned and rickoty cars with those Of improved
modern construction. In fact the Diaz epoch
may be called the regime of electricity, as in his
day IT has been introduced very generally into
the houses and streets, not only in the capitaI
but in all the principal towns Of the country
