AMERICANS IN CUBA.
Much Capital From the United States
 Invested There.

Fiom Appleton's Magazine.
 It is possible to particularize some what closely in the matter of Ameri- can investment in Cuban sugar produc- tion. Taking the island by provinces, 1t will be found that there are no American sugar interests in Pinar del Rio; only two in Havana province, as against seventeen which are not Amer ican, and, based on the estimated out put for this year, the American com panies will produce about 12 per cent of the whole. In Matanzas province there are six, as against forty-seven native sugar estates, and the Ameri- can product is 12 per cent.
 A great deal is heard of the extent to which Americans have been buying lands in Cuba, and somewhat fabulous reports have been given wide circula- tion. One well-known correspondent is responsible for the statement that since the war with Spain more than 13,000 Americans have bought land in Cuba He further estimates that 'seven-eights of all the land in Sancti Spiritus is owned by Americans" It is quite impossible to reach an accur- ate estimate of the number of acres owned by Americans in Cuba because
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-10-21

of the system of land registration, which provides for no central regis try. From one end of the island, how ever, to the other there is string of colonies, each one of them owning a considerable amount of land varying in degree and quality and at prices ranging from S3 or $5 an acre for un- productive land and to $70 or $75 an acre for the most fertile.
 Of these colonies I have been able to locate twenty-eight, including the colonization schemes of the conscience less land speculators, with their en- tailed hardships and suffering, to the immensely fertile and prosperous fruit. growing colonies surrounding the town of Ceballos. These tracts range in size from the 10,000-acre tract under a single ownership to the 30,000 acres of the Development Company of Cuba along the line of the famous trocha. It is not probable, however, that more than five or six thousand Americans and Canadians are actually settled in Cuba, although a higher estimate would be necessary to include the inn mense amount of land owned by non IeSlueuI AmCllCuilo ut OWnClS low their land to be operated for them by others, and there are other lands now unimproved awaiting develop ment. The most competent estimates agree that the present investment in fruit land in Cuba amounts to about $3 100000, ranging from the small farm tract of five acres to the groves of the Fiske Fruit company at Ceballos, where 500 acres of 50,000 trees are enclosed by one fence, the largest in the world
 Fruit culture in Cuba has received a new stimulus since the Americans have become interested, and not with out good reason. The soil of Cuba not only produces a vastly superior qual- fly of fruit, but does it in a shorter time than that of any other country in this hemisphere. Moreover, Cuba is not open to attack either by frost or economic conditions in the way of hos tile tariff legislation by this country, since the condition is such that fruit
