England agrees to a readjustment Of

England and France in 1898. Roughly
speaking. We have relinquished about
half the region included in the arc round
Sokoto. and on the Lake Chad end of the

miles in length and from so to 70 miles
in width, the boundary line here being
marked by the Komadugu river.

sions, presenting petitions, and hand
ling the questions here brought for
ward required no little of firmness and
diplomacy.
OF paramount importance was the
claim of the Cuban liberating army,
and towards meeting the government
obligation to the army, one of the first
laws passed authorized the president
100000 of which should be for the
payment of the army. Next in order
of need of attention was the encour-
agement Of agriculture. The prosperi-
ty of the government being so closely
connected with the prosperity of the
sugar industry, steps were early taken
toward the relief Of the planter, who
felt that, because of Inadequate prices,
he would have to give up his cane
fields unless aid was given him speedi-
ly. Although satisfactory reciprocity
treaty with the United States was slow
in being effected, the Cubans continued
to show faith that Uncle Sam would
eventually do the right thing by them
Under reciprocity in the past, the
sugar output reached as high as
million tons per year. After the ter
mination of reciprocity privileges, the
quantity greatly decreased, and then
came the disastrous war times, when
the output went down to 5000 tons.
However, the vitality of the sugar in
dustry In Cuba is shown by the fact
that it was the first of all the indus
tries to recover after the war, in 1903
the output rising to something over
900, 900 tons. But the business has not
been generally profitable, and there has
been too much hazard to allow of ex-
tensive opening of new plantations.
Now that fair measure of reciprocity
has been obtained, and the Cuban rail-
way has been completed, the sugar in
dustry will undoubtedly be greatly
stimulated. And the country needs the
stimulus; for there is still desperate
poverty among the people. wages are
low, houses in ruins, trades in need
of encouragement.
Under the republic, railroads have
been developed and there has been
much Increase in railroad traffic. The

ton, connecting Havana and the east

easy understanding of them all. First
let us take that concerning Newfound
land as being the one nearest US, and in
which we are most interested. For near
ly 200 years France has had the exclu-
s1ve right to the west shore of New
Homeland. between Cape st. John and
Cape Ray, and to fishing in the territorial
waters off the west coast of the island,
a fleet of fishing boats from the French
islands, Miquelon and St. Pierre, visit
ing the coast annually. France now
abandons her rights to the French shore,
though retaining her right to dry fish
there. She also retains the same rights
as Great Britain as to fishing in the ter
rttorial waters, and stipulates that her
fishermen may take Holsters as we'll as
Goldfish. The bait bill of 1886, which pro-
hibited the sale of bait to foreign fisher
men, is modified in such way that in
future the Newfoundlanders may sell
bait to the French fishermen. Great
Britain will grant indemnities to French
citizens occupied in fishing pursuits on
the treaty shore whose interests are I'M
paired by the new state of things.
There were several distinct differences
existing in Africa, which may be emu
merated as follows: France disliked the
predominant position of England in
Africa, position which she shared pre-
vious to the convention of 1888, but in
the present agreement she recognizes
England's rights there, and does not de-
mand the fixing of a definite term of
