WASHINGTON, D. c.. September q
Though recognizing in the request OF the
Cuban Government for the withdrawal 'I
the remaining American troops a very
natural desire to remove Gil traces OF
foreign occupation, the indications are
that the authorities here Will order the
withdrawal only upon the complexion OIL
the permanent treaty contemplated In the
Platt amendment. Both that amendment
and the Cuban Constitution provide that
g. permanent treaty shall be signed De-
tween the United States and Cuba, where
by each government shall assume disunce
obligations.
Cuba, for its part. is not to make any
foreign treaties impairins her independ-
ence; IS not to assume excessive indebt-
edness; is to recognize the right Of in

tect lives and property and Independence;

For its part, the United States !s to

erty. Now there Is no assurance at the
present moment that the Cuban Govern
ment has a. sufficient distinctively Cuban
army at hand to undertake TO care for
these things itself. Moreover. it is re-
garded as essential that such provisions

the yield this year will probably be only

to the tobacco crop from hail storms than
has been known in many wears AL
though the counties around PETERSBURG
enjoyed very favorable seasons through
out the summer, there We're many to-
bacco counties in which the crop will
be cut very short by the prolonged dry
weather.
Petersburg has been a great dark to.

nearly all of the tobacco has been cut
The reports from the crops are very
encouraging, both as to quality and guam
tity. Especially is this true of the bright
variety. The growers of this grade have
made full crops and are jubilant at the
fine prices at which bright tobacco is
selling.
che amount of the dark raised will not.
perhaps, exceed former years. In sections
which We're not visited by the different
hail storms the reports are good. It is
curing well and has good body.
The total damage from hail will hardly
reach the high estimate at first placed.
although in individual instances it will
reduce the crop fifty per cent. in value.
What would have been nice dark wrap
rels will now have to go as Jugs at about
half the price of the former.
The market at this place Is strictly q
dark market. and only a few offerings
of pTiminss have sought sale here. Tho
regular sales will not begin until the
18th Of October.
