The Future Of Cuba

Havana, July 2O.-The Union
Espanola quotes Presiden, Palma
as saying in an interview that he
has great hopes that the country
will emerge victoriously from the
present Crisis. President Palma
said:
"lf American syndicates have
bought all our cigar factories and
considerable land, besides num-
ber of smaller estates, il is because
Of faith in the economic future of
Cuba. Moreover Senior Terry,
who is a planter, admits that
price of three reals per 25 pounds
of sugar offers a profit, which
though not very great, makes it
worth while for those to cultivate
sugar who can avail themselves
of the methods. Furthermore,
we are approaching a day when
sugar bounties will be suppressed
and when Cuban sugar will be
able to compete with the Euro
pean product, and there are be-
sides favorable symptoms of reci-
procity with the United States.
With these reasons as basis. we
may hope that the economic future
of Cuba will soon improve. When
once the economic problem is
solved, the political situation will
not present difficulties. The in
experienced regarding official or
ganization is compensated Tor by
the good sense of the people.
Annexation is not the way to
save Cuba, as it will not come
when the present population of
Cuba would benefit by it. but
when the Americans choose
that is, when the influence exer-
c:sed by the Latin element in
Cuba shall have ceased.

Around the World in a Boat.

New York, July 2O.-The
Abiel Abbot Low, IS foot
launch equipped with kerosene
oil engine in which Capt. Henry
Newman, a we'll known boatryan,
accompanied by his 16.year old
son, sailed from College Point, L.
L., on July 9th. on a 5000 mile
voyage to Falmouth, Eng, was
reported having been spoken by
two vessels which reached this
port today.
Captain Ivon of the French
bark Tourville from Nantes, re.
ports having sighted the little
craft on July 18th in latitude
4O.33 north and longitude 61.32
west, but it was so far away that
he could not communicate with
the occupants of the boat.
The American liner st. Louis
from Southampton and Cherbourg
also reported having sighted the
Low. The little boat exchanged
colors with the big liner on July
Is in latitude 41.34 north, longi-
tude 55.35 west. The two occu-
pants seemed to be in the best of
spirits and waived their caps to
the officers and passengers of the
st. Louis.
Capt. Newman, before sailing
from this side said he expected
to reach England in less than
thirty days. In the nine days
she has been to sea when sighted
by the st. Louis she had covered
approximately distance of S75
miles-almost a hundred miles
per day-at which rate she should
reach her destination if no mis-,
haps befell her, in a months
time.

Special to The State.

Washington, July 19.-All the
government property at the Port
Royal naval station will probably
soon be sold at auction. Secretary
Moody has requested the chiefs

what disposition shall be made
of the Port Royal station. No
appropriation was made for its
maintenance by congress. Rear

recommended that it be abandon

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER 10
MILES WIDE.
Damage Incalculable and ThOus
ands Made Penniless by a
Big FreShet.

heohuh, Ia, July 19.-Ihe
flood conditions of yesterday
were much worse today and the
Mississippi river is from two to
ten miles wide for Is miles be-
low keokuk and Is raising rapid
ly. The flood is reaching far out
lying farms, hitherto missed, and
farmers in the lowlands on the
Missouri side have lost every
thing.
Damage is also occurring on the
illinois side, between here and
Quincy, where there are many
thousand acres of riverside le-
wees and where the levees them
selves are not entirely efficient,
the water is working through at
the site of the floodgstes. The
greatest damage is on the Miss
ouri side of the Mississippi river,
between Keokuk and Hannibal,
territory covering 800 square
miles, and on which the corn
was estimated at so bushels to
the acre few days ago. Hun
dreds of farmers are tenants, who
lost crops by last years drought
In the uplands and moved to the
lowlands this year. They are now
penniless and hunting work in
towns and cities. Reports today
are that in the territory indi.
cate the loss will be over 81, ,OOO,-
600, chiefly to corn land and in
splendid condition previously.
The damage done along the
Mississippi river is greater than
was expected or at first reported.
One township in this county,
Green Bay, is six or seven feot
under water. 1t contains more
than 1000 acres of crops.
Families there were driven out
hurriedly and some cattle were
drowned. Corn was the finest
In this section of the country
last week. The levee eight miles
north of Burlington broke, inun-
dating three square miles that
had been considered safe.
The Skunk river, the most
damaging tributary of the Miss
issippi, is roaring down with a
flood approached, but twice in
the history of the State, in 1851,
ard 1892. The water topped
the record of 1892 and touched
the highest record of 1851. This
river rises in the centre of Iowa
and empties into the Mississippi
70 miles north of Keokuk and
greatly increases the flood at
points below.
In the interior Iowa towns on
the Dcs Moines and Skunk rivers
were surprised by the rapid rise
and there is much excitement.
1t was believed that the recession
for the n3od &c the first three
days of the week removed all
danger and people returned to
ordinary conditions.
