 VALUhBLE TIMBER COVERS LAND
 The land is now covered with valu- able hardwood timber, which may be shipped to the United States duty free, and, on account of its exceeding fertil- ity, may be titled with great profit for sugar, tobacco. cocoa, pineapples, ba- nanas, and early vegetables. Fer all these pToducts the New York markets are only two days away. Besides the hardwOc1' timber now matured on the land there is also guinea grass, which grows SIX feet high and is said to be fire feet for. cattle.
 The passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill is counted upon by the promoters to make all Cuban lands very attract i've to Investors.
 In negotiating the sale of the Sabin- al Peninsula to the Los Angeles syndi- cate MT. Carlson had the advantage of knowing whereof he spoke, because of his fornsr position as special commis- siOner of railroads of Cuba. That was three yesrs ago. At that time he went over the entire island, inspecting the Cuban railroads for the United States government. and found 124 separate lines, representing a total mileage of POST. Sinre then 475 miles of additional railroad las been built by Sir William c. Van Borne and associates through the cente- of the island.
 GREAT NATURAL ADVANTAGES.
 y 1t MT. Carlson said:
 This tiact of land consists Of. 150, 900 acres of ltvel land, the highest point on it being hill about 15O feet high. Over 75 per cent of the land is covered with native hardwood timber.
 Ut is is situated on the best harbor in the world--NueVitas Harboi, being fifteen times larger than that of Ha- Vana with artra Oca fC if of over five miles in length, and a half mile wide; g. feet of water over the bar. New York Harbor has only 2S feet over its bar.
 ''This tract of land is possessed of a most valuable deep water frontage, v feet of water being within 100 feet of the land, according to the United States navy department survey.
 "The United States government will perhaps buy a part of said land for one of the five naval stations in Cuba
 The great Munson line steamers run from New York to Nuevitas Harbor. They now have to tighten their car goes, as they cannot come within q mile and a half of the wharf at Nue- Vitas City. or account of the shallow water there. but a 5O- foot wharf al Sabinal Peninsula will accommodate the largeS steamer afioat
 CITY WILL BE BUILT.
 'As a result of this natural advantage possessed by the Sabinal side of the NueYtas harbor, a city will be built al Sabinal Point to be known as Palm City, where will be constructed wharves, warehouses and terminals foI a great deep water city, from which a railroad fifteen miles in length will be built to a connection with the Nue- vitas and Puerto Principe railroad which latter road runs to Puerto Prin- cipe. the largest interior city of Cuba having a population of 45,0OO. Conss- quently by the building of said hfteer miles of railroad across the Sabina- Peninsula, the present expensive and tedious lighterage across the bay a Nuevitas City will be avoided and there will spring up a great metropolis a
