OUR TROPICAL TRADE
IMMENSE BUSINESS POSSIBILITIES
ARE OPENED UP.
Gen. James IL, Wilson Has Well Described
this Benefits Which Are within Our
Reach-hlnnd of Cuba IL the Most
PFomlsln: Field.

Gen. James II. Wilson in an ad-
dress on Our Trade Relations With
the Tropics" recently delivered at
Boston, gives an exhaustive review OF
the future possibilities in our dealings
with Cuba, Porto Rico. and other
tropical countries. He favors an Am
erican Customs Union with all the
countries south of us, beginning with
Cuba. and as the benefits are received
and felt in our enlarged commerce. ex-
tending the Union to other nations.
He considers Cuba the most valuable
| field for commencing the work. 1t
has about $4,000 to $4,000 square miles,
| or 27,5OO,O00 acres at the least, mostly
suitable for raising sugar. tobacco,
coffee, fruits and cattle. OF this acre
age nearly 1900 coo acres are uncleared
forest. These vast forests consist of
mahogany and other hard woods, all
valuable for manufactures, cabinet
work and shipbuilding. The fruits OF
Cuba are manifold, and have been arti
cles of staple consumption in the
United States for generations. The
attitudes of Cuba vary, one elevation
being 1870 feet above the sea. These
| high ranges make the interior of Cuba
balmy. or to quote Gen. Wilson's
words, 1T is indeed, one of the most
beautiful healthful, and inviting is
lands under the sun; and while it lies
just within the tropics. it can hardly
be called tropical; its climate is every

and the balmy air of the surrounding
seas" Since the Spanish authority
over the island ceased, sanitary condi-
tions have been enforced and the yell

cuba Rich In Natural Resources.

Gen. Wilson regards Cuba as a
promising field. provided the United
States will enter into reciprocal trade
relations with it. as the island cannot
be annexed because of the joint reso-
luton of congress. AS annexation Is
out OF the question for the present
and until the Cubans so desire, volun-
tarily-other arrangements for mutual
prosperous trade must be made. He
regards Porto Rico as a limited field
fer American enterprise and emigra-
ton. The population is dense and the
land almost entirely occupied. AS tc
Cuba, millions of its acres are I'm

grafton to Cuba all of the nations of
Central and South America Will be
the recipients of the same benefits,
and in Gen. Wilson's opinion. these
countries lie clearly within our right
full theater of interest or influence, and
in the direction of our true trade eX-
pansion. We shall much more surely
gain supremacy in trade with our
nearby neighbors, than with those
that lie beyond the sea. and the wider
we make our reciprocity with those VIC
have undertaken to defend, the more
rapid will be their growth in wealth,
power and civilization"

CUNNING IN
GOOD FORM
Redeemed Himself Last Evening
and Will Play Again
Tonight.

Cunning, the magician, followed his
great achievement in mind reading of
Monday by giving at the Opera House
last night positively the best perform
! ance of digital dexterity, magic and
spiritual seance, ever seen in this city.
and the audience, though small, was
enthusiastic, applauding each and ey-
cry trick heartily.
Any one seeing the performance of
Cunning on last Saturday night and
comparing it with last nights enter
tainment, could hardly realize that it
was the same show. The smoothness
and grace in which the magician work
ed, proved conclusively that he knows
his trade.
Cunning opened the entertainment
with his great billiard ball palning,
with sleeves rolled high and hands eX-
tended, produced four solid billiard
balls in a most mysterious manner.
This was followed by card manipula-
ton and the extraction of coins from
the air. After counting a number of
coins into the hands of one of the au-
dience. he caused the number to be
increased from the stage, completely
puzZling the gentleman holding the
money, as we'll as the audience.
What was perhaps one of the most
amusing parts of the program was the
production of a complete dolls ward
robe from w. w. Halls hat, beside
ten yards of silk and a great bundle
of paper. Stuffing the paper back into
the hat, Cunning returned it to Mr..
Hall, who was surprised to find a
large rabbit there also.
The greatest trick performed was the
one made famous by Keller, consisting
of the firing of several ladies rings
from gun into a box on the opposite
side of the stage. One ring, being miss
ing was afterward found tied to the
neck of a dove that was revealed en-
closed in a bottle.
A Smith & Wesson 3S-calibre revolt
yer was next loaded, the bullets being
marked by one of the audience and
fired by another gentleman at a plate
held by the magician, who caught them
and proved to the satisfaction of the
audience that they were identically the
same bullets as fired.
Cunning was assisted in spiritual
seauce by Warren, the young Mormon
wizard, and a committee consisting of
Frank Davey, Otto Berndt and one
other gentleman went on the stage to
watch the exhibition. Among the many
marvellous performances of warren
was that of freeing himself from two
pairs of handouts belonging to local
police officers, much to their surprise,
and to the entire satisfaction of the
committee.
Madame Alone contributed material
~ to the evenings entertainment by
her feats of undertaking, and the
performance was concluded with box
mystery.
Tonight Cunning will play at the Or
pheum Theater, and as the fame OF
good things quickly spreads, there Is
no doubt of his playing to full houses
in the future.
