RAWS.

The week under review has been d.
rectly under the influence OF the news
from Cuba from day to day. Beet
sugar quotations have fluctuated mod
| erately, closing at 9s. 10 1-2 d., being
l I'D above the lowest point.
In our own markets the extreme lin
1t of sales have been at 4.09c. to 402c.

at 406 Lac. Following the last sales

equal to 1-Sc. duty paid for SO de-
grees test, at which price buyers are
withdrawn from the market.
OF course, the Cuban situation oc-
cupies all attention to the exclusion of
everything else. The latest develop
ments show possibility of arrange
ments between the conflicting inter
ests which will bring about peace. for
time at least, but only on conditions
which will undoubtedly require the
presence of the United States forces in
the island to make effective. Under
such arrangements, and provided the
rebels, who are not easily controlled
can be prevailed upon to lay down
their arms, there would be a fair pros
pect for the coming crops. but future
conditions are so entirely indefinite and
impossible to forecast, among such an
excitable people as the Cubans, that 1t
Is quite impossible to hazard predic-
lions of the size of the coming crop.
Several things are quite evident bear
ing upon this matter.
1t is evident, for instance, that in
any event the crop must be quite
late and that tie num5nT of laro'r"s
"n'ch can be s13Cred from thc army
ami from Spain will be greatly Limited
bc'ow the actual requirements for se-
curing the crop. 1t Is more or less evil
dent that there will be considerable
difficulty in planters obtaining the
necessary advances on their produc-
ton to enable them to pay laborers
and secure their crop to the best ad
vantage. All these matters go to show
that, in addition to late crop, the
amount will be considerably reduced
from last years. Just how much,
whether great or small, remains to be
seen as circumstances develop from
week to week. Under these conditions,
and with the latest reports from the
beet sugar crops OF Europe. which will
be considerably less than last year, 1t
is quite evident that raw sugar Is on
a comparatively low basis This Is as
much as We can say at this time re-
garding the sugar situation. and It
seems extremely advisable to keep In
close touch with the changing condl-
tons from day to day.

One officer said that there was no
possibility of n war between the Unit

held the United States in extremely
high regard, and the nation felt its
gratitude to the United States for the
moral backing 1t gave during the war
with Russia, and besides that, the of
fices of President Roosevelt in estab-
fishing peace were not to be forgotten.
Many of the edibles placed before the

(From Mondays Advertiser.)
While keeping one ear to the rail
listening for the approach of the train,
little japanese child was killed by a
train on the oahu Railway a few days
ago near Eva station. The parents
are grief-stricken and have appealed to
a prominent Japanese of Honolulu to
advise them as to the bringing of a suit
against the railroad company.
After going over the particulars of
the case, the parents were shown that
for the death of the child, it being
their own fault in not removing the
child from the track, especially when
they knew the train was then ap-
preaching the station.
1t appears that number of Japa-
nese and others We're near the station
and children as well as grown people
were swarming over the tracks. A
warning was given to clear the tracks
and it was supposed that all We're
off the dangerous section. Suddenly as
the train came down to the station,
the little one was observed closely
pressing one ear to a rail to hear the
rumble of the approaching engine.
There was no time to snatch 1t away
from danger and it was struck by the
engine and instantly killed.
The railroad people, on being told of
the grief of the parents, assisted them

When this doubt is removed
when this distur bing fear disappears,
when the conviction of the feasibili
ty of the plan now entertained by
persons versed in matters of econo-
nay and finance becomes generally re-
cognized, all will realize the sound
ness of the project conceived by the
merchants of Ponce and the fear of
immoral and unpatriotic competition
will no longer exist.
The people of the Island will cau-
Sc it to be failure.
Ii is necessary, to make the pro-
paganda among the multitudes; It is
necessary to convince the people of
the advantages to be gained by the
country from change in the market
of purchasing rice.
From the voluntary contribution
which would result, a contribution
which would be equitable and popu
lar, no one wouldkbe excluded. Eve
ry one would share it, and all would
have the satisfaction and the pride
of aiding and assisting in the work of
the reconstruction Of our decadent
agriculture, freeing the proprietors of
coffee lands from the dangers which
now assail them, from the menace
of liquidation and the aggress ions Of
the hsco.
The adoption OF this worthy and
sensible idea would result in bring
ing more vessels to our ports than It
the present time; it would enable the
much needed provements in our
roads and highways to be made; it
would restore the coffee plantations
to the prosperous condition enjoyed
in the past; in short, the measure
proposed bv the Ponce Chamber Of
Commerce possesses advantages and
benefits for 'the whole country and
for all its inhabitants.
The plan entails no injury, no har-
dship for any body, nothing but good
can be looked for
What is required, is that the coun-
try in its entirety lend its help to the
work of patriotism, a work prompted
by the most prudent and judicious
appreciation of the economic neces-
sites Of the Island.
The country IS a unit ought to fur
thcr the success Of the enterprise.
The commercial interests alone
cannot make it a success; it requires
popular cooperation, bat co-opcra-
tion frank, rcsolute and unyicldin9,
VIII ich knows no vaclllatiOn.
All who live in Porto Rico are
I0bli9ated equally to strive to bring
about the reconstruction Of the coun-
try.
We do not believe that additional
appeals will be necessary to arouse
the live forces Of the country to Ia
Dor for its highest and most sacred
interest, but if il is essential if there
is no other remedy, we will keep up
the appeals as long as May be neces-

| The unanimous sentiment of the
Island is that the brilliant and pa
triotic resolution of the Ponce Cham
Der of Commerce is entitled to unli-
mited praise.
The judgments expressed regard
ing the matter are cxtr cmely com
Iplimentary; the country, as a whole
finds in the action taken by the abo-
We body the needed solution of the
problem of the economic crisis, see
ing that the national authorities at
tempt nothing in our behalf.
Against the brilliaIt idea concei-
we'd by the Ponce merchants there
are no reasons nor valid arguments
to be opposed.
All the country is in favor of the
project; but there remains a Slight
fear which il is necessary to remove,
because if is not, it might mar the
success of the great economic solu-
tion which the Ponce Chamber of
Commerce has so approximately pre-
sented.
AS we have said, there remains a
fear which it is necessary to dissip-
ate, and, based on this fear. fan
cied danger, which patriotism with
out doubt will remove.
The importation of foreign rice for
general consumption in the Island
would. as our readers know, add ap-
proXlmately two million dollars to
the Customs receipts.
With an addition of two million
dollars annually to the revenues of
the colony, it would be possible to
devote money to the Improvement of
the coffee lands, enabling the taxes
on these plantations TO be RENTED
and save them from the liquidating
menace which now confronts them,
and 1t is unnecessary to dwell on the
benefits which would accrue to the
country at large from A measure of
such undoubtcd economic wisdom.
But it may be said that the price
Of rice would become higher, and
doubtless it would, but the advance
would be insignificant, a cent
pound perhaps less; and on account
of this increase of the price Of the
commodity, would We not run the risk
of some foreign merchant, indifferent
to our critical situation, without
caring for our economic misery pro
duced by the ruin Of our coffee in
dustry-, without affection or connec-
ton with the country, would we not
run the risk of such an one engaging
in the sale of American rice, and Sc
ling it a price lower than the rice
from India sold by the merchants,
parties to the combination formed
for the purpose of saving the country
from imminent disaster
And the price of the rice sold by
those foreign merchants being 10
wer, would not the public free to
buy where it chose, be able to neu-
tralize the sacrifice made by the rest
of the Islard for the general good
