HAVANA. July 5.--Haxana is growing
like a bamboo sprout. II had 235 600 peo-
pie five years ago, and, the census gave
1T 1000 mere in 1902. Its population Is
NOW over 100000 and there are those who,
like Sir William Van Horne. believe that
It Will in time approximate million.
There are less than a dozen cities In the
United States larger than Havana. II
already outrnnks Detroit, Milwaukee. Min;
& ncapolis, Louisville or Kansas City. It
lis twice as big az Omaha or Memphis
and away ahead OF Newark. Indianapolis,
Los Angeles, Columbus or Toledo. It Is
growing In wealth, likewise, and Is more
and more every day the commercial, bust
ness and social center. Of Cuba.

Senator Sherman firmly believed in the
truth Of this statement. and It has al

At that time Havana contained q hun

now, and the city wns fifty years behind
it's present condition. It was dirty to an
extreme. Stark-nakcd children could be
seen in tho poorer quarters and the draw

great carts pulled by OK teams with Xokes
strapped to their, horns There were no
street cars md no modern improve
n,ents of any kind
Ts-day Havana has n good electric car
line. with more than fifty miles OF track
md something like 200 motor cars. The
street car company took IN last year gross
receipts OF more than a million DOLLARS
and it promises to be very pro1i'aple

The Havanpa harbor has altogether an
area Of about twenty quarter-section
farms IT is three miles long and two
& miles wide and 1t winds in and out
among the hills. It has considerable
shipping, boats from all parts &of the
world being anchored here and there IN
1t, with the rusty wreck OF the Maine
& In the center.
Cuba has a commerce OF about $lhO,-
$4,000 n year. and three fourths Of It
passes Havana. It is very extensively
handled, as one may SEQ by the great
lighters which arc used for handling and
unloading the ships The lghteraga
companies are opposed to- the building
OF wharves, and for this reason no sncn
concessions have yet been granted. me
cost of the lighterage is about 5000 ooo
per annum, or, In round numbers at least
9 per cent. on all the goods taken IN
and out Of Havana.
