J. N. Fitzpatrick of the Union

to the reduction of rates on pig

Northern Pacific railway, explained
the effects of the reduction.

pig iron has been finding its way
to this part of the country from
England and Scotland by steam and
sailing ship to Puget sound ports
and from there by rail. BY this
route they were able to effect such
q saving in freight as to be able
to undersell the Alabama foundries.

They have four car loads of hydraulic

will have hauled in by freight teams,
a distance of 70 miles, but it will
take this season to get them ready, as
they have to quit mining here about

eight and ten feet deep. They are
also putting in a saw mill.

"Unless Cuba is annexed to the
United States within year it never
will be. " said G.. Castellanos, Of
Havana. "If the United States wants
the island, now is the time for them
to get it. The people are poor, and
there is no demand for the sugar and
tobacco, the principal products. The
failure of Congress to adopt the recip-
rocity resolution was great blow to
the island, but we think we shall
find demand for our sugar in
Europe. When this is done our peo-
pie will become prosperous, and all
will oppose annexation. But now,
with hard times staring them in the
face, great many Cubans favor an
nexation. This is especially true with
the wealthy classes. They want TO
sell their products, and realize the
benefits they would derive personally
by having an open market. II will
take several years to bring order out
Of chaos and establish prosperity.
But when this is done the people will
be satisfied, and will oppose any
effort toward annexation.
