The report of the geological survey
showing that the United States last
year produced about S93,OOO,OOO tons
of coal places this country far in the
lead, and emphasizes the situation
when it appears that the increase here
over 1904 was actually greater than
the entire production in France or of
any other large nation, with the ex.
'ceptions of Great Britain, Germany
and Austria. Especial impetus was
given to mining in the United States
by approximations concerning a coal
strike last spring.

Outside of Havana.

One hundred and fifty tobacco barns
in the Alquizar district were de.
stroyed. The planted to-
bacco crop also was seriously dam
aged. Enormous damage is reported
from Guira section, the center OF the
banana and plantain growing in
dustry. Both crops are said to have
been practically destroyed. Many
small farmers lost their all, and are
i'll great distresses. Matanzas City
was practically uninjured, only a few
houses there sustaining damages. No
loss OF life has yet been reported from
outside Havana, but a message re-
celved there says five persons We're
injured in Nunez. The first train to
come into the city since the storm
was the Santiago express, which ar
rived Friday afternoon. Passengers
report that the devastation does not
reach far to the eastward.
Havana recovered quickly from the
effects of the storm, and except for
the presence of gangs of men replant-
ing uproOted trees, and the sight Of
Wreckage in the harbor, one would not
know that such a severe storm had
blown over this end of the island.
Friday night gay crowds promenaded
the streets and were loungiug in the
cafes, apparently quite obliyious of
the fearful experience through which
their city had passed
