1t appears that the volume of Cuban
foreign commerce, which naturally suf-
fered serious diminution during the
recent war. has lately experienced an
encouraging increase, and promises soon
to outstrip the record of it's palmiest
days before the war. During the in
surrection no official returns were made
of the commerce of the island as a
whole, but it is known that its volume
was greatly curtaile1. For example.
Cuba's most important export, sugar,
which amounted to over $4,000 tons in
1894, and will amount to over 100000
tons in the present year, was only about
100000 tons in 1898; and likewise the
Cuban export of tobacco to the United
States, which will equal S13,0O0,O0O in
value in 1903, amounted to only about
100000 in 1897 and 1898. So also Cuban
imports from the United States, which
have amounted to $20,000000 or s25, OOO, OoO
annually since the war, were only about
$7sO00,000 in 1896 and 1897

grievance against the governor is that

board, which is composed of Secretary

largely to the expenses of the state and
incidentally add to the profits of the

to have the useless publications cut
out. The workings of the new order
will be watched with interest.

exception of the PROPOSITION to resub-

as did the garnishment bill. They came
from all over the state. and when it
was known that the bill had been passed
up to the governor his desk was flooded
with kilograms and letters asking him
to veto it. and in many instances each
protest represented, not an individual,
