CUBANS BURN CANE FIELDS.
They are Taking Vengeance Upon
Those Who Opposed Their Fight

Those Who Opposed Their Fight
for Independence.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, January "a.
Fifteen hundred acres of sugar cane
were burned yesterday as the result of
political friction, on Mr. Joseph Rig
ney's plantation Ceibahueca near
IManzanillo, the richest plantation in
this province. During the war of the
Cuban insurgents against Spain. Mr.
Rigney refused to pay tribute TO the
Cubans. For two years he supported
a Spanish garrison; but ultimately the
Cubans destroyed the property with
the exception of the mill, valued at
s1,000,0 600. This year the plantation
was fully equipped to produce sugar to
the full capacity of the mill.
Mr. Rigney.S loss is about 100000,
but it will not seriously cripple the
business.
A considerable quantity of cane
from the burned fields is still valuable
and can be utilized unless rain falls
within a few days.
Mr.. Rigney'S only daughter, Lillian,
was recently married to Lieut. Whit
side, son of Gen. Whiteside. The two
plantations at Guantanamo have lost
heavily during the week from similar
fires. Burning cane is popular
method of getting revenge among the
CubanS.
