CHAPTER II.
ON Board the st. Paul.

there was not spy upon him among his
fellow passengers, and he wished to let
it be inferred that his voyage was un-
dertaken solely in observance of the
compact made in the Bowery dive.
For as yet he was by no means GER

pact. It was true that the cast-off

after suffering some deductions for

not only in June. but throughout the
fiscal year, was not in any special

Alaska was affected by the generally
prosperous conditions.
The increase in shipments Of mer-

not as large. Still, there was an in

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - The
prosperity of Cuba is such that even
the most optimistic are surprised at
the results which are shown by the
latest statistics. There is no section
of the country that has not received
a great impetus, commercially or in
dustrially, and the influx Of tourists
and investors during the past year
has been such that there were not
sufficient hotel accommodations for
them and new and modern hotels will
be built for the coming winter.
The greatest proof of the develop
ment Of Cuba during the administra-
tion of President Palma can be found
in the study Of the last figures of
the official report of the Cuban treas
ury. showing the results of the con-
sentative, wise and progressive gov
eminent which has ruled the island
during the last three years.
