TRADE WITH CUBA.
Falling Off in Our Exports During the
Past Year,

Commercial Cuba in 1903" is the title Of
a. monograph just issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. through it's
bureau of statistics. 1t Is shown that. al
though nearly all of the land in the island
is of excellent quality and susceptible of
a high degree of cultivation not more than
half of the area has been even partially de-
veloped, and only about one twentyfifth of
1t reduced to scientific and advanced Guilt
walton. While the total area of the island
is about 2S,O00O00 acres the acreage of
Cuba's magnificent cane fields is less than
100000 acres and her extensive crops of I'M
rfvaled tobacco are grown the insignifi-
cant total of not to exceed 100000 acres.
A chapter is devoted to the reorganiZa-
ton of the administration of the island
under the United States protectorate and
the new Cuban republican government and
1t is pointed out how greatly the business
interests of Cuba have been advanced and
benefited by the reforms in the laws. in
the currency, in the tariff and tax regula-
tons, in the municipal systems. in the pub
lie sanitation, etc, so that Cuba has now
been transformed into a healthy and we'll
ordered community. solvent. self-governing
reliable and prosperous, with its business
affairs settled upon solid and stable
financial and governmental basis.
Full tables and other details of Cuban
foreign commerce are presented including
particulars regarding immigration. revenues
and expenditures, customs receipts, ton
mage, steamship lines of communica ton
etc. 1t appears that the volume of Cuban
fered a serious diminuton during the recent
war, has lately experienced an encouraging
increase, and promises soon to outStrip the
record of its palmiest days before the war.

poor work The men Of these commands re-

the cover taken by them was poor, and
some Of them were surprised. with the

The principal feature of the work of the
brown army was the effective Of the
artillery. Great mobility was shown, and
the pieces were worked all over the field,
always arriving at a threatened point In

For the blue army, the best work was
done by the Indiana brigade, a battalion
of the Goth Infantry. and squadron Of the

OBJECT TO KENNEDY
VIRGINIANS RESENT CHOICE OF
AN OUTSIDER.
Probable Fight Over State Librarian In
Legislature Horse Show
Next Week.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

RICHMOND, Va, October Z. 1903.
The election of John Pendleton Kennedy
Of Washington as state librarian promises
to be the source of endless debate and
trouble in the state for some time to come.
The board which elected Mr.. Kennedy was
chosen by the state board of education.
There were several aspirants for the posi-
ton. among them well-known Virginians.
The action Of the board In going beyond
the confines of the state for a librarian Is
being adversely criticised by some, in that
the state applicants were overlooked and an
outsider chosen.
Armstead Gordon of Staunton. a men,
Der of the board, has filed written pro-
test against the action of the board in
going outside the state, the language Of
the protest being vigorous, according to
those familiar with its contents. In fact
the protest was suppressed the board de-
Ginning to make it part of the record
Friends of the defeated candidates say that
the action of the board will be resented by
the general assembly, which will be called
upon to make appropriations for the care
of the library.
The horse show here will open Tuesday
night Already the entries number more
than 600. being greater than at any show
given here. Heatherbloom. the famous
jumper. owned by Howard Willitts of
White Plains, N. Y, is the latest addition
10 the hlgh-clasS jumpers to be exhibited
here. Hollaway's Chappie is also here and
will enter the contest against Heather
bloom. Amaret. Charles II. Hurkamp's
noted jumper. is also in the lists.
The show will last five days, with matt
nees daily after the first day. The hotels
will all be crowded to the limit, rooms hav-
ing been reserved by many of the fashion,
able people of New York, Baltimore and
Washington early last month. The man
agement of the show have assurances that
the event will be the most successful of
any yet given, the attendance promising to
exceed by thousands the previous shows
The Marine Band will give the musical
program both day and night. Many of the
more prominent of the social set will give
receptions during the week after the eShi
bltion at the building, dinners at the JEFF
ferson Hotel being arranged for already by
the score.

that same day had presented itself to the
astonished gaze of the workers In neigh

and gold. number Of tents had appeared
as by magic on the mount. the temporary
encampment of a rich and numerous caval-
cade. But 1t was not the splendent aspect
Of this unexpected bivouac itself so much
as the colors and designs of the flags and
banners floating above which aroused the
wonderment of the tillers of the soil. Here

1t will thus be seen that the United States
trade with Cuba has nearly regained its
antebellum proportions, but that there has
been a somewhat disquisting decrease in
our exports to Cuba during the past year.
A very valuable feature is the publica-
ton entire of the present Cuban tariff. with
all its notifications and rulings down to
September l. 1903, which will be a great
convenience to the American business COM
munity, the notifications and decisions
have been very numerous, and they have
