Senator Patterson-You said something
about your not liking to testify against
comrades. What did you mean?
Witness-I do not wish to involve any
of my comrades. There is great feel
ing among the men against the officers
because the men believe that the officers
are parties to the prolongation OF the
struggle. The soldiers do not like Gov
ernor Taft. but they do like General Char
fee. and there appears to be division
between General Chaffee and Governor

MR., KELLY IMPARTS
SUGAR INFORMATION

bilities OF the resulting Increased trade
with the United States were so great
that he became enthusiastic whenever it
was mentioned. He thought commerce
with the island. with free trade, would
jump 20 $500. 600. 900 a year. The entire
trade OF Cuba would then come to the
United States. and there would be a great
increase in the use OF American products
in the island.
Replying to Mr.. Teller. the witness said
that free sugar from Cuba would not kill
the beet sugar industry If the figures as
to cost OF production given by Oxnard
and other beet sugar men were correct.
They had declared beet sugar could be
manufactured for 81 cents pound, and
IL that were true. free raw sugar would
not kill the beet factories.
Mr. Teller said those figures were prob
ably used in the prospectus of some beet
company forming, and that the beet men
now claimed any reduction would hurt
them.
After some questions as to the owner
ship of sugar estates in Cuba. Mr. Teller
expressed the opinion that II were better
instead OF making reduction in tariff 10
give the money TO the Cuban government.
he was opposed to reducing the tariff
ior the benefit OF the Havemeyers At
kihs. or other wealthy Americans. or for
the Spanish or English planters. Congress
was trying TO help the Cubans, and II did
not appear they would benefit to any ex
tent by tariff reduction.
A telegram from Governor General
Wood. laid before the committee. esti-
mated the crop of Cuban sugar this year
would be 100000 tons. instead of the $780,
900. as previously estimated.
OF this. 10000 tons had already been
shipped. leaving i90. goo tons still In Cuba
Half of the crop. it was estimated, was
still in the hands of The producers.

ton.
II the trust should decline to purchase
Cuban sugar above a certain price, the
Cubans could wait for the refners must
have sugar. II they did not buy in Cuba
they must go to Europe for 1t, which would
force the price up all over the world.
Mr. Kelly thought the advent OF the
Americans in Cuba would greatly stiInu-
late the production of sugar there, but he
wished to modify his estimate made before
the Ways and Means Committee that in
five years the island would produce $780,
900 tons. 90
As a matter Of fact. the increase would
depend upon the condition of labor Ia Cuba
and the immigration and labor laws OF the
island The demand for labor there now
exceeded the supply, and unless there was
some means of greatly increasing immi-
grafton there could be no great increase
in the output of sugar in spite OF the M
creased use of machinery.
There would be no immigration OF la
borers from the United States and prac
tically the only source OF supply was from
Spain. That labor was the best and was
better paid than the Louisiana laborcr.
The Cuban laborer really was paid better
wages than any other sugar labOrer on
the face of the earth aud was still rails
ing II.
Cuban Labor Well Paid.
Questioned regarding the statement chat
labor was cheaper IL the Southern States
than in Cuba. Mr.. Kelly said the sugar
planters in the island paid their men on
an average 81 in gold per day. while in
Louisiana the price ranged from 60 TO
IS cents a day.
Asked as to the effect OF free trade
with Cuba, Mr.. Kelly said the posi-

organization and the Sons of Veterans.
These organizations have always been sep
aratc and distinct, and. while their paths
have been side by side. there has never
heretofore developed that unity of purpose
and spirit that would be expected. There
| is every Indication. however. that the
| that the Thirty-sixth Annual Encampment
of the Grand Army Of the Republic will
be notable. among many other things, for
the recognition Of these ties and the tax
ing of such steps as will insure the closer
relationship of the two great organiza-
| tions. Already steps looking to the con-
summation OF this purpose have been
taken by Mr.. Edward K. Campbell. the
communicative chief of the Sons OF Vet
